**WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE**
Picture:
Looks:
Charlie is a natural brunette. Her hair isn't a dark shade like her brother, its more of a light brown but she bleaches is and colors it all the time. Currently she is an orange/red head. Her eyes are a nice green, another difference from her brother, Ash. Charlie does wear glasses, but they are not a prescribed pair. They have regular glass in them. They're basically a fashion statement for the girl.
Charlie stands at 5ft 2inches, making her seem almost child-like. She weighs a simple 110lbs but eats like a pig.
Appearance:
Charlotte has her ears pierced, though she rarely wears earrings; only on special occasions. Besides that, she's "hole less" as her father likes to put it. She has a scar on her right shoulder blade from an accident back when her and Ash were kids. It involved Charlie talking Ash into letting her climb a gigantic tree in their backyard only for the young girl to fall out and land on a rock. Of course, Ash was blamed despite Charlie's arguments of it being her idea.
Favourite Outfit:
Charlie pretty much just puts on a pair of pants, sometimes stealing her brothers (depending on the size), A graphic tee, and a hooded sweatshirt. She's not a big clothes freak and a lot of the times, she wears things that don't even match. But if the girl wants to wear a purple shirt with neon orange pants... she will and she will wear them proudly.
**PERSONALITY**
How do you treat your friends:
Charlie is someone that doesn't place her "friends" into classes. Whether you're her best friend or someone she just met, she'll treat you just the same. She finds that giving one person more attention than another is not fair so she treats them all as equals. It sort of ticks her girl friends off too because she treats them the same as her guy friends causing the girl to have more guy friends than gal friends but this doesn't bother her too much. A friend is a friend.
How do you treat your enemies:
"Kill them with kindness." That would be Charlotte's motto. She's not hostile towards her enemies, nor does she ever talk bad about them. Sometimes she's even defending them when her friends want to trash talk them. She finds that upsets her enemies more than attacking them physically or verbally. Besides, she see's enough abuse at home to last her a lifetime and would rather smile at her enemy, even if they were stabbing her.
Social Status:
Charlie is very popular... in her mind that is. Mostly people just look past her in the halls but she sees that as a good thing. Too much attention causes problems.
Positive Traits:
accepts what's given
caring
sensitive
thoughtful towards others
honest
enthusiastic
affectionate
Negative Traits:
indecisive
immature
late, not on time
lack of self confidence, insecure
unsystematic, disorganized, disorderly, random
Forgetful

**SOME MORE INSIGHT**
Skills/Hobbies:
Like her brother, Charlie is musically inclined. She loves to play guitar and piano and sings though she's not one to sing or play in public. It's more of an outlet for her than anything. Also, being born in France, she's fluent in French though she's worked on making her French accent almost invisible.
Likes/Dislikes:
+ Make-up in large quantities
+ Two minute "Charlie dance sessions"
+ Chocolate Milk
+ Stealing clothes from Ashton
+ Sticking out her tongue or making faces during pictures
+ "nerd glasses"
+ Hair Dye
- Abuse
- Loud Noises (eg. Door slamming shut unexpectedly)
- Needles
- Stuck up people
- When people stare at her
- Questions, not because she doesn't know them, she just doesn't like to be center of attention
Best/Worst memory:
Charlie's worst memory was when her parents divorced. She thought marriage was for life and that love never ended, then again she was 6 when it happened so it was normal for her to believe in fairytales.
Charlotte's best memory is pretty much every time her mother takes her and her brother on short vacations during the summer. They're like the only time she sees her brother truly happy.
Secrets:
Charlie is the "V" word... ok well both of them. She's both a Virgin and a Vegetarian. Those of course are not the actual secrets. Even though she's a vegetarian, the young girl often cheats. The only meat she'll eat is Chicken.

What subjects are you taking this term:
DADA
Potions
Charms
Transfiguration
Astronomy
Herbology

Favourite/Least Favourite Subject:
Her favorite class would be Transfigurations... She's determined to turn her step mother into the toad Charlie believes she is.
Charlie's worst class would be DADA. She's against Fighting at all costs and is often the one getting picked on because she refuses to duel.
What kind of student are you:
Charlie tends to get into trouble with her classes. Not because she doesn't like them, she just tends to forget about course work. Don't get it wrong, She's a very smart girl and knows what she's doing, she just often forgets about homework and has to complete it at the last minute often rushing herself. She's classed as a bookworm by her peers but is distracted easily.
What is your preferred House:
Ravenclaw pwetty pwease
**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Melodie and Chris met when they were both attending Hogwarts. Their relationship was sort of against the rules in her father's little group of friends. It was pretty much unthinkable for a Slytherin to be with a girl from any house besides his own. This was one of the reasons they became so close and tight as a couple. Shortly after graduation, Mel and Chris married. A couple of years passed and Ashton was born. Two years later, Charlotte joined the then happy family. It seemed like her parents were getting along just fine, in fact Charlie believed her family's happiness was one you found in a fairytale. But, despite her beliefs, she'd hear her mother and father bicker when they thought the kids weren't listening. She'd hear her mother's cries at night when she thought the kids were asleep. At six years old, Charlotte didn't want to believe what was happening when Chris and Melodie sat her and Ash down. The "Mommy and Daddy won't be living together anymore" speech was something she thought she'd never have to hear. But the young girl pulled through it.
For years, she'd hide in the shadows as her father would repeatedly beat her brother. It's not something she likes to talk about, in fact she tries to avoid those conversations all together. Thankfully, Chris had never laid a hand on his daughter. It seemed Ash would take the worst for her, but it never stopped the extreme scoldings she'd receive. Most nights, she sneaks out of her bedroom window and often stays the night with a few of her friends that live close by just to avoid any time she'd have to spend with her dad or her step-mother. Charlotte never cared for Celine. She didn't like the fact that the woman would stand there and watch the way her husband treated his son. She was a toad in Charlie's eyes. Despite her dislike for her father and his new bride, Charlotte keeps a watchful eye on hers and Ash's baby sister.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Once Ash received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, Charlotte knew hers would be coming shortly after. It wasn't a big surprise to her, both her parents had attended and her brother was about to start his third year there. She knew the acceptance was a much bigger deal for Ash than it was for her. True, she loved the fact that she wouldn't have to spend all her time with her father, but their relationship was only a fraction better than the one between Ash and Chris. Once arriving there, she had Ash to guide her around for a short while til he was ambushed by his friends, leaving Char to fend for herself. Which, to be fair, she sort of liked better. She loved Ash, but the girl was independent and liked being able to explore on her own. Making friends wasn't the hard part for Charlotte, it was keeping track of them. She tended to try to mingle her way into every social group in the castle. You never knew when having a friend in certain places could come in handy.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
Charlotte's never given a thought about her life after school. She tries to live life day by day, never making plans any further than the day after. The reason behind that was she found people tended to forget plans or change their minds at the last minute. She always figured she'd follow after her mother and father, becoming an Auror but to do that, you needed to be good at dueling, which Char wasn't. Char just figures she'd decide her seventh year what she wanted to do once school was over.

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER –
Face Claim:
Hayley Williams
Role-playing Sample:
"Are you kidding me?!" She screamed as she tore through her trunk. It seemed she was missing a pair of jeans. Skinny jeans to be exact. Only one person came to mind as to who could've taken them. Ashton. A small growl sounded in her throat as she thought his name. Her brother was dead... Well not physically at least since the girl was against violence but still, dead to her. Well, until he returned the jeans to her unharmed.
Maybe it was payback. She still had one of his hooded sweat shirts and had meant to return it to him but every time she'd have the chance, it'd slip her mind. Only Ash would hold that against her. She grabbed the hoodie from the bottom of the trunk and ran out of the dorm to the common room. Finding Ash wouldn't be hard, he'd be the dark-haired boy flirting with some younger boy using his newly aquired power as head boy. Char threw the shirt at him, glaring in his direction. Of course, the scene would've been much more intimidating if Charlotte wasn't standing in front of her brother and the boy in her year in a t shirt and a pair of boy short panties. What a way to ruin a scene. She'd meant for her to come out screaming, putting the fear of God into her brother, instead, she stood there bottomless glaring at him.
"Give. Me. My. Pants." She had tried to put as much venom into her words as possible, one word at a time. She probably just ended up looking more psychotic than she actually was. She was pretty sure everyone in the common room was staring at her already. Take it for a Laurent to be the center of attention, the role which she tried to avoid at all costs.
