[b]Name:[/b] [indent]Charlotte Burton.[/indent] [b]Nickname:[/b] [indent]Charlie.[/indent] [b]Age:[/b] [indent]23.[/indent] [b]Picture:[/b] [hider=Charlotte][img=http://chpyouth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/black-curly-hair-styles-17.jpg][/hider] [b]Biography:[/b] [indent]Charlotte moved around a lot as a kid, and not within just one country. Her parents were both diplomatic officials from London, and while they adored their daughter and the time they did have to spend with her, they were often busy. At fourteen years old, she made the independent decision to quit travelling with her parents, explaining that she would rather they not feel guilty, and spend time with her when they're not liable to be called away. So Charlie went to live with her Aunt Veronica. Life with her aunt was comfortable, and happy, and so Charlie developed a tendency to never stray far from her comfort zone. A trait for which she is frequently mocked by her friends. She met Willow shortly after moving in with her aunt, and the two quickly became friends. Over time, similar people migrated to the pair, and through classic yet nonetheless painful teenage trails, they formed a strong bond. Charlie is still close friends with everyone from that small, cosy social circle. It was those friends who helped her pick up the pieces after “Hurricane Hughes”. Jennifer Hughes; beautiful, interesting, and loving... until she got bored. For just a short while Charlie thought she was in love, but the break-up two years ago has left her thinking she's too boring a person for romance. While she was and is incredibly hurt, she's quite happy with her little life; she paints for exhibitions, she runs a newly-opened bookstore (her parents, currently in Sweden, presented her with a run-down store to let for her twenty-third birthday), and she has a comfortable pool of friends to hang out with. She feared what would happen if that changed. The [url=http://liliendahl.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/bookstore.jpg]bookstore[/url], which she named Reid & Wright's, is of great importance to her. It doubles as a miniature [url=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-53qDvdNTqO4/UKXryeKUfCI/AAAAAAAAAdg/FkeLSOm4luw/s1600/alice_gertrude_wideweb__470x313,0.jpg]café and wifi hotspot[/url], which never fails to bring in the customers. Before her birthday, she worked as an intern editor for a small-time magazine, and it was exactly the opposite of what she wanted to do. The routine, the blank white office walls, the horrible bosses, it all but crushed Charlie's soul. So, she treats the bookstore like her child; wants the very best for it, but terrified nonetheless. She lives in the apartment above it with her dog, a German Shepherd named Sirius, who she often lets walk around the store and greet customers for her. It works like a charm. At the moment all she wants to do is fix up the store. Farther than that, she's not entirely sure where she wants her life to go.[/indent] [b]Why did your character want to come to this bar?[/b] [indent]She didn't. Charlie was dragged to Mingle by her best friend, Willow, who can't seem to comprehend that Charlie couldn't care less about bars, drinking, or being in any sort of shared space with drunk, overly-friendly singles. But at least if she does this one thing for Willow, she can pull the "you owe me" card later.[/indent] [b]What color glow stick will they wear:[/b] [indent]Green and blue.[/indent]
