Canon Character Information

Appearance: 5'4", blond hair blue eyes, kinda skinny in an underfed way, but clearly scrappy. Her hands have scars from badly placed IVs, there's a three inch long, jagged scar on the back of her left arm that was clearly deep enough for stitches. No tattoo's, no piercings.


History: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firestarter_%28novel%29 (Warning: It's sad)

Personality: At this point in her life, Charlie doesn't trust anyone easily. She's been duped and lied to so many times that she can't. It's almost impossible for her to. She'll be friendly and nice to people, but don't take it for naivety. She's far from naive. She's wise beyond her years, due in no small part to how her life went for the first twelve years of it. She doesn't allow herself to get close to people, afraid that it will end badly for her or even worse for them and has a habit of pushing people away if she feels they're getting too close.

She's dishonest, too. She won't tell anyone her real name. She'll stick to a nickname or a false name. And only just that. If she does use her real name, it's either a miracle or a mistake.

When and if she does find someone she can trust, she bonds immediately and it's a strong bond. Her stubbornness won't let anything get between her and whoever it is she trusts. Charlie's loyal to the people she cares about and will fight to keep them with her.

She's learned from trusting Rainbird, however, that trusting people is just a mistake in general. So she's jaded. She tries to keep herself neutral to everything and keeps her emotions in check as best as possible. This is an old habit from childhood since her abilities were so strongly tied to them and made controlling her pyrokinesis quite tricky.

Even with all that, though, Charlie is saddled with a big heart. As closed off as she is, she can't help but care for people in need and want to do something to help them. She firmly believes at the core of her very being that life is short and pain is hard and we were all put on this planet to help each other. She wants more than anything to see good in a person, but will find it difficult to believe it's honest good and not out of a need to gain something.

She's a contradiction in terms of what she wants from people. On the one hand, she wants people to leave her alone. She thinks she'll only cause them trouble, which is very true. With The Shop still looking for her, Charlie's a magnet for hideous situations.

On the other hand, she craves normalcy. She wants to have friends and people who'll know her as Charlie and not whatever her name is that week. She wants people to accept what she can do because maybe that way, she'll be able to do the same.

You also have to remember that she is still a caring person, as shown with her relationship with the Manders. She's especially loving to the people that accept her for what she can do, what she's done, and who she is. Irv Manders in particular gave her the normal parent/child relationship she wanted. He treated her like his own child, and it broke Charlie to her very soul to run away on them. They were in danger, and this is where her fear of attachment comes in. She can't get close to people easily, not with the Shop an ever-present danger.

She's going to find life on the islands very uncomfortable at first, and won't trust the money or the house when she gets there. She'll worry about ulterior motives for a good long while until she establishes a friend or two and gets into a routine.



Powers/Abilities/Talents: Pyrokinesis, telekinesis, Danger Sense (limited to within minutes) and the ability to form an empathic/telepathic link with people if she really trusts them.

Avid reader. Despite missing several years in her education, she is in fact quite smart and loves to read. She is also quick at learning and loves being around food. She's also very organized and keeps messes to a minimum. She doesn't like to leave evidence that she was ever anywhere.



What 4 items would you like your character to have with them on the island during their stay? Semi-ratty backpack with a change of clothes, a journal and a pen

First Person:

Hey Dad,

It's Charlie. Life has gotten weirder and I really can't figure out a way out of this one. One minute, I was sleeping in an abandoned apartment building, next minute I'm on a boat. Heading to some island I've never heard of.

The people that run this place gave me money and a house, but the question is: why? What do they want? This isn't the Shop. I don't feel them anywhere and I have to say, that is a weird feeling. It's some kind of weird emptiness in my head. They've always been there and now? Now another paranoia fills that empty space.

I don't know how I got here, and I don't know how to leave, and I'm sorry I got myself in another bad fix again.

I love you, dad.

I miss you.

I wish you were here and alive.

Charlie.
