Family:

Grace Lucas – Mother - A single women, who got pregnant in a one night stand with a log truck driver. She was is a junkie, who managed to stay away from the drugs while she was pregnant, but after, things went down hill and she got with a man who used to beat her and a three year old Charlie. Eventually Child Welfare got involved, when a neighbour called them, Charlie was removed from her care, from then on Charlie has had no contact with her mum at all, even though she knows where her mother is.

Charles and Eva Blair - Grandparents - Charlie has grandparents, but her grandparents disowned their own daughter and cut off all associations with her. They don't even want anything to do with Charlie, even though the keep an eye on her, from a distance, she's too much like her mother and that's too painful to watch.

Appearance:

Hair – Slightly wavy, thin, long, hair, that’s light brown in colour and with natural blonde-ish highlights. Usually wearing it down, with a part down the middle. It tends to fall in her face a little, hiding the sides of her face.

Eyes - Lazy light blue eyes, that are rather large and striking. But you take one look in her eyes and you see her hurt. They show her emotions, and are deep and compelling. Her eyes always look lost and detached, like she’s not completely “there”.

Face - A kind of round, soft face, with no harsh lines or contours. She has a small button nose, and a little chin, with light pink lips, the bottom lip a little fuller than the top. No freckles or sun spots at all, any where on her face, or her body, but she does have a few scars; one just above her right eye, from a split eye brow, a little barely there scar on her forehead and a rather noticeable scar in the middle of her bottom lip from several split lips.

Build - She has that skin and bone anorexic look. With thin wrists, legs and arms and her hips and ribs stick out a little. She looks like she doesn’t eat enough, and that the smallest of breezes would topple her over. Half starved.

Height - Around 5'6

Other - She has several other scars, mostly on her arms and mostly self inflicted, cigarette burn scars, also. She has scars on her wrists, from a suicide attempt.

Personality: Charlie is a little bit messed up, with a little bit, being an understatement. But she has this knack of drawing people to her that want to protect her, or that feel the need to protect her. It's very easy to take advantage of her, and she's physically and emotionally vulnerable. For those that know her, Charlie is a heart breaking tragedy. She's depressed, lost, confused, a little suicidal at times and heavily addicted to some hard drugs, primarily heroin. But she's very, very extremely shy, really soft and really quiet. She's not entirely functional on a social level, but she is some what better than what she used to be.

She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but it's umedicated. Meaning that she has dramatic mood swings, from high to irritable, to sad and back again with periods of normal in between. When she's manic, or up, she has increased energy, is restless and a little jerky in her movements. She jumps from one idea to the other and from one topic in conversation to the other without warning. She has trouble concentrating and is very easy to loose in a conversation and she goes into denial. When Charlie's depressive, she has lasting sadness or an empty mood, she feels hopeless pessimistic, she'll shy away from physical contact, she sleeps a lot, she self injures and she has a tendancy to attempt suicide. When she's down she has to be watched closely, because she will hurt herself, or at least try to. Her depression is painful, not only for her, but for her friends, who have to see her like that.

When she reached her teenage years, in an attempt to deal with her intense emotions, she started to experiment with drugs. She quickly got addicted to Heroin, she both snorts and occasionally injects it into her body. At first she'll get a feeling of euphoria, a false happiness if you will, it develops into dizziness, nausea, a change in skin temperature, she will feel as though the world no longer exists around her and her ability to function both mentally and physically decreases severly. After the initial reactions her breathing will slow down to almost dangerous levels, her heart beat will also slow dangerously.

She's too proud to let any one help her, or to actually show that she's hurting, so she bottles her emotions. She won't fight, to the point of not even standing up for herself and she flees from confrontation. She really pulls the heart strings.
