1.) Describe your character's relationship with their mother or their father, or both. Was it good? Bad? Were they spoiled rotten, ignored? Do they still get along now, or no? She gets on well with both parents, although definitely more so with her mother. Charlie's mother would do anything for her and she's always there when she needs her. Charlie's dad was hoping for a son, so he didn't really know how to interact with his daughter in her younger years. They get on much better now though, and he's very protective over her, although not afraid to tell her when she's in the wrong.
2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features? Charlie has a defined jawline and cheekbones, which is probably the first thing you'd notice, although she gets plenty of compliments about her shiny auburn hair.
3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don't have any, is there a reason? Charlie has a tiny scar just below her left eyebrow from a childhood injury, although it has faded a lot so you can barely see it now. She also has a c-section scar from the birth of her daughter.
4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive? She's not really vain at all. In fact, she feels kind of awkward in her own skin a lot of the time. She has the kind of persona in the ring that would make you believe that she's that confident all the time, but really she's not. She has her insecurities such as her appearance.
5.) What's your character's ranking on the KINSEY SCALE? I'd say no more than a 2.
6.) Describe your character's happiest memory. That would be the birth of her daughter, Kaitlyn. Charlie had been in labour for fourteen hours when the doctors told her that the baby was in distress and needed to be delivered by c-section. When she finally heard the baby cry and got to hold her for the first time it was the happiest experience of Charlie's life.
7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why? Not really. There are definitely moments where she's not proud of how she's behaved, but overall she wouldn't change anything as it's shaped the person she is today.
8.) Day of Favorites! What's your character's favorite ice cream flavor? Color? Song? Flower?
Favourite icecream flavour: Mint chocolate chip
Favourite colour: She doesn't really have one, but probably blue.
Favourite song: Love Bites by Halestorm (which is also her theme)
Favourite flower: Calla Lily
9.) Who does your character trust? Her parents, especially her mother. She also has a certain degree of trust in Ken, April and Rachelle.
10.) Can you define a turning point in your character's life? Multiples are acceptable. That would have to be the birth of her daughter. Charlie really grew as a person and things became about what was best for her daughter and not herself.
11.) Is there an animal you equate with your character? Definitely some kind of bear... Not quite sure which though...
12.) How is your character with technology? Super savvy, or way behind the times? Letters or email? Charlie is actually quite good with technology, although she much prefers to talk to people face to face rather than on the phone, etc. She prefers email to letters though, simply for the convenience.
13.) What does your character's bed look like when he/she wakes up? Are the covers off on one side of the bed, are they all curled around a pillow, sprawled everywhere? In what position might they sleep? Charlie doesn't really move around a lot during the night, so her bed is usually just a little untidy by the morning, but the pillows and sheets are still in place. If her daughter decides to climb into the bed then the sheets all get pulled to one side as she likes to wrap herself up in them.
14.) How does your character react to temperature changes such as extreme heat and cold? Charlie much prefers warmer temperatures, as she tends to feel the cold more than most. When she's in colder places she's always prepared with warm blankets and lots of sweaters.
15.) Is your character an early morning bird or a night owl? She's always been a morning person, which is good because her daughter usually wakes her early.
16.) Are there any blood relatives that your character is particularly close with, besides the immediate ones? Cousins, Uncles, Grandfathers, Aunts, et cetera. Are there any others that your character practically considers a blood relative? Not really, just her parents.
17.) What's your character's desk/workspace look like? Are they neat or messy? Charlie has always been messy. Growing up, her parents would always be yelling at her to tidy her room! When she's travelling, Charlie tends to leave her stuff strewn across the hotel rooms, and her bags are rarely organised. Since she had her daughter she's become slightly more aware of keeping things tidy for safety reasons, but she's never going to be a neat freak!
18.) Is your character a good cook? What's their favorite recipe, whether they're good or not? (Microwave mac-and-cheese applies.) Charlie's not a good cook. Her meals tend to come out of packets most of the time. The one thing that she can cook well is a roast dinner, so when it comes to Thanksgiving the turkey is her responsibility.
19.) What's your character's preferred means of travel? She doesn't really mind, so long as it's on land, as she suffers from seasickness! If you forced her to choose she'd go with car travel.
20.) Does your character have any irrational fears? Charlie has always been afraid of drowning, so for that reason she doesn't like swimming or going to the beach. Obviously her biggest fear right now is anything happening to her daughter.
21.) What would your character's CUTIE MARK be? Not a clue...
22.) If your character could time travel, where would they go? Charlie wouldn't really be interested in time travel. If she had to go somewhere she would go to the future to see her daughter all grown up.
23.) Is your character superstitious? Only a little. She kisses her lucky necklace before she goes out for a match, and when she was a child she would always try to avoid stepping on the cracks in the sidewalk.
24.) What might your character's ideal romantic partner be? Somebody honest, caring, and level-headed. The kind of person that would be protective over her, but know when to let her fight her own battles. The most important thing to her would be that they got on with her daughter.
25.) Describe your character's hands. Are they small, long, calloused, smooth, stubby? About average size with slightly longer fingers. Her hands are always quite well presented, and she's a fan of nail art so her nails are usually painted.
26.) Second day of favorites! Favorite comfort food, favorite vice, favorite outfit, favorite hot drink, favorite time of year, and favorite holiday.
Favourite comfort food: Any good Southern home cooking.
Favourite vice: Alcohol, although she doesn't really drink much now.
Favourite outfit: Crop top and jeans or shorts.
Favourite hot drink: Hot Apple Cider
Favourite time of year: Springtime
Favourite holiday: Christmas, and also 4th July
27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them. For her teens and early wrestling career I'll go with "She's A Rebel" by Green Day, because it kind of personifies that part of her life in a way. I can't really describe it better than that. The second song would be "The Reason" by Hoobastank which relates to her daughter and the fact that she's started over in order to make a better life for Kaitlyn.
28.) If your character's life was a genre, what would it be? Drama for sure, with maybe a bit of action thrown in.
29.) How does your character smell? Do they wear perfume or cologne? Charlie wears perfume the majority of the time, but she's not a fan of heavy scents. Her usual scent is light and somewhere between cherry blossom and fresh popcorn.
30.) And finally: Write a letter to your character, from yourself.
Dear Charlie,
I'd like to apologize firstly for not working with you as much as I'd like. Hopefully I can put that right some time soon.
You were always one of those characters that I couldn't quite let go of because I felt that I could do something amazing with you, and I have to say now that I'm so glad I went with that instinct. I'll be the first to admit that putting you back into TNA was a bit of a risk, given that Heather and Duncan both have so many fans there. But I'm pleased to say that I think you're beginning to make your own fans, and that you'll do just fine.
There are tough times ahead for you, I won't lie, but I know you're going to survive, and it'll make you stronger for the experience.
Lots of love, Romana
