...personal*
personality Charley has always been late. And not fashionably five or ten minutes late either, it's more like an hour to an hour and half late. This tended to annoy many of her friends, who would always insist that she was being late on purpose. She wasn't of course, it was just that she always miscalculated how long things were going to take her, or account for the unexpected obstacle that might come up. Needless to say, her teachers got quite frustrated with her showing up to class late every day. It didn't help that Charley has never been the girl to shy away from her opinion: if she disagrees with you, she'll say it. She's known for pointing out when the teacher or a fellow student is, in her opinion, wrong.
Charley is scatterbrained most of the time, which usually led to her lateness, but can get very focused when given a task she's passionate about. Recently that task has been the Debate team, which has led her to know many random facts that she'll spit out any time something even remotely related to the fact is brought up. That doesn't earn her many friends. It also doesn't help that she's never been the type to wear her feelings on her sleeve, and can at first seem closed off and bitchy. Okay, maybe it wasn't just at first...let's just say, if you don't know her well, she comes off as a closed off, opinionated bitch.
past Charlotte Katherine Harper was born on December 12, 1994 in New York City to two loving parents. She grew up in a small apartment in Brooklyn, but the space and never bothered her. She loved the different cultures and feel of Brooklyn, the concrete jungle never seemed unwelcoming to her. She often seen as a child barging into the nearby Italian restaurant by herself and ordering the largest pasta dish, or begging the cook at the Chinese restaurant down the block to teach her how to make egg rolls. Her childhood was full of adventures and laughter, with her father out working on the stock exchange floors and her mother always being the glue that held them together.
However, everything changed when her mother was shot while walking home after dropping off Charley at school. Everything changed after the police broke the news to them in their old but homely Brooklyn doorway. Less than a week later, her father quickly moved them out of their home and into a large, extravagant apartment on the Upper East side of Manhattan that they couldn't afford. He quickly lost his zest for life that he was famous for, and soon became as stoic and solemn as the large marble columns that adorned their new home. With her father being gone the majority of the day, Charley took up the average household tasks. She did all the cooking and cleaning without so much as a 'thank you' from her father. She was always too afraid to ask how they could afford the monstrous, gaudy atrocity that was their new apartment but couldn't afford a maid.
present Charley's never been the one to deal with her father head on, so instead of confronting him she's started to wrap herself up in debate, researching for projects for hours on end. She's also recently started to pick at her hair or bites her fingernails when she's thinking, which has led to her unsightly swollen fingers and split ends. Make-up has never been a part of her daily routine, and lately it seemed to take up too much time and she wasn't all that interested in impressing anyone. And she's become even more uptight and disagreeable than usual, if that was at all possible.
In addition to becoming a sullen monster of doom, Charley's father has started to use Vivian Mitchell's moms 'services.' This did not bode too well with either Charley or Vivian, who instead of ranting about it together have taken to just throwing insults at each other randomly. Neither really wanted to address what was going on between their parents, so hatred seemed like the next best option.

book title Cinderella
backstory So there was a girl named Cinderella. Her Stepmother and her daughters forced her to complete all the housework. The poor girl bore it patiently, but she dared not tell her father, who would have scolded her; his wife controlled him entirely. One day the Prince invited all the young ladies in the land to a ball so he could choose a wife. As the two Stepsisters were invited, they gleefully planned their wardrobes. Although Cinderella assisted them and dreamed of going to the dance, they taunted her by saying a maid could never attend a ball. As the sisters swept away to the ball, Cinderella cried in despair. Her Fairy Godmother magically appeared and vowed to assist Cinderella in attending the ball. The Godmother told her to enjoy the ball, but return before midnight for the spells would be broken. At the ball, the entire court was entranced by Cinderella, especially the Prince, who never left her side. However, she lost track of time and left only at the final stroke of midnight, losing one of her glass slippers on the steps of the palace in her haste. The Prince chased her, but outside the palace, the guards had seen only a simple country wench leave. The Prince pocketed the slipper and vowed to find and marry the girl to whom it belonged. Meanwhile, Cinderella kept the other slipper, which had not disappeared when the spell had broken. The Prince tried the slipper on all the women in the kingdom. When the Prince arrived at Cinderella's villa, the Stepsisters tried in vain. When Cinderella asked if she might try, the Stepsisters taunted her. Naturally, the slipper fit perfectly, and Cinderella produced the other slipper for good measure.
