Birthplace: Unknown
Blood Status: Unknown
Wand: Knotted 14 Inch Flexible Oak Wand with Meteorite Dust Core
Length: A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.
Style: The knots of this wand's original wood remain clearly visible - earthy, this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature.
Wood: Oak wands are excellently reliable no matter the situation they are found in - they withstand the greatest challenges and remain largely unscathed.
Core: This wand core works well for people who adapt easily to their surroundings while still maintaining their own personalities. Meteorite dust seems to produce wands that are useful in Divination work.
Flexibility: Flexible: Not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its wielder.
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor

Hair: Charlie's hair is thick and dark brown, cut in short curls around their face.
Eyes: Dark brown.
Build: Slender and angular.
Complexion: Warm, clear brown.
Style: Androgynous, with a fondness for suits and long coats.
Distinguishing Features: Charlie's posture is quite standoffish and introverted.
Playby: Damaris Goddrie

Personality: Charlie is slow to trust, and that, combined with their straightforwardness, can make them come across as blunt and rude at times, but behind that is a sweet, caring person who's had a hard time. They don't hold many people close, preferring to keep to themself, but they're likeable enough and can make superficial friends easily enough if they try. Charlie likes to be around people they know, but they rarely trust others completely.
Strengths:
-Charlie is very self-assured and deals with adversity well, trusting in themself and sticking to their guns when challenged.
-Charlie has a strong sense of justice and won't hesitate to defend those who need defending.
-When Charlie puts their mind to something, they see it through and get it done.
Weaknesses:
-Charlie can be reckless at times, trying stunts and getting into fights beyond their skill level.
-Charlie can be overly blunt and aggressive at times, and isn't always in perfect control of their feelings.
-Charlie often sees things in black and white, and can make judgements without considering all angles.
Hobbies:
Skateboarding - Charlie has been skateboarding since they were very young, and they know a good deal of tricks.
Surfing - Charlie's adoptive sister taught them a bit about surfing, but they've never been quite as good as Emily.
Guitar - Charlie been playing the guitar on and off for years, but never been dedicated enough to master it.
Woodworking - After taking a few carpentry jobs after graduation, Charlie has found they quite enjoy woodworking.
Personality Type: ISTP (The Virtuoso)
Virtuosos love to explore with their hands and their eyes, touching and examining the world around them with cool rationalism and spirited curiosity. People with this personality type are natural Makers, moving from project to project, building the useful and the superfluous for the fun of it, and learning from their environment as they go. Often mechanics and engineers, Virtuosos find no greater joy than in getting their hands dirty pulling things apart and putting them back together, just a little bit better than they were before.
Strengths: Optimistic and Energetic, Creative and Practical, Spontaneous and Rational, Know How to Prioritise, Great in a Crisis, Relaxed
Weaknesses: Stubborn, Insensitive, Private and Reserved, Easily Bored, Dislike Commitment, Risky Behaviour
History: Charlie was abandoned as a baby, found crying behind a bush in a public park. There was no trace of their biological parents, and they grew up being passed from foster home to foster home, stability never a feature of their life. They never grew too attached to any of their foster families until they were taken in by the same family as Emily, and the two grew to be very close friends. They stayed in touch through different homes and reunions, both old enough to feel certain that they would be trapped in the system until adulthood, but at least they were no longer trapped alone. That changed though, when Maria Madison was brought in to counsel the group both children were in one year. Charlie connected with Maria like they had never connected with an adult before and Emily felt the same, and not long after both children had a new family at last, Maria adopting the two with open arms. A couple of years later Maria took in another boy, Finn, and Charlie and Emily adapted easily to the new sibling, their little found family of four finally complete.
Health: Has had a few broken bones and bad injuries over the years, one of which left a long scar on their right shin. Otherwise perfectly healthy.

Goals: To become an Auror and protect the people who matter most to them.
Fears: Betrayal.
Secrets: Charlie longs to be cared for and looked after, but finds it too difficult to trust anyone.
Regrets: Trusting people in the past who hurt them.
Favourites
Colour: Brown
Food: Ramen
Smell: The ocean, wood, food cooking
Music Genre: Rock
Animal: Cat

[Charlie Madison]

Ever a loner, Charlie found Hogwarts an overwhelming environment. They spent most of their first year keeping to themself, though they got along with a couple of their roommates, at least somewhat. The Yule Ball was a major source of contention, Charlie struggling with the ill-fitted dress their mum desperately wanted them to wear, despite it not being a garment Charlie was comfortable in at all. Their mum, to Charlie's surprise, apologised, and promised not to pressure them like that again.

Spoiler: Sorting Post

Another new home, so quick after the move to New Zealand. It was beginning to feel very much like the first stretch of Charlie's life. The group of first years she was in felt gigantic to Charlie, but as they entered the Great Hall for the first time, it finally struck Charlie just how huge this school was. There had to be a thousand people - more, even. Trying to keep her shock concealed, Charlie looked over the tables, then up at the staff table. Mum waved the second Charlie caught her eye, beaming in delight, and Charlie gave an uneasy wave back.

Once the initial excitement at seeing such a grand room (that ceiling!) had passed, there didn't actually seem to be much to do. Charlie stood with her arms folded, watching the kids around her go up and get sorted. Mum had explained this whole process, but it still seemed a bit silly. Why did it even matter that people were grouped up by personality? Charlie really didn't like the idea of some magic hat digging through all her thoughts. Her thoughts were her own - private. What gave them the right to make mind-reading the price of an education? To make value judgements so publicly about what kind of person a child was?

Charlie was getting more and more sullen and nervous about the whole idea, and as the surnames got into the L-s she was starting to feel like just running for it would be a better option. Before she could make a move though, it was too late.
"Madison, Charlotte."
Wincing at the unfamiliar sound of her full name, Charlie's whole body was tense as she made her way up to the hat. "It's Charlie." She mumbled to the Headmistress as she took her seat, resisting the urge to cringe away from the hat. 'Hey hat, if you can really hear my thoughts, I'll make you a deal.' She thought, full body trembles giving away how frightened she really was. 'Don't read my mind, you can just pick any random one you like, I don't want you to read my mind. It's private. I promise I won't tell anyone or throw a tizzy.' For a girl who had often never had any privacy but her own thoughts, this whole process had Charlie more scared than she had ever felt in her life. She would give anything to be anywhere else.
"I'll make it as quick as possible, but I've got a job to do and there's only one way to do it. Now let's see. Hmm...better be Gryffindor!"

Although they remained mostly reserved, not enjoying being in an unfamiliar setting yet again with a lot of strangers and without their siblings to keep them company, Charlie finally began to branch out a little more in second year. They became closer friends with two of their roommates, Frankie and Fleur, and made a new friend in Ravenclaw. Although their guard stayed up around most other people at school, Charlie finally felt comfortable enough to relax a little with some of their favourite people.

Coasting through classes as usual, Charlie decided they finally felt comfortable enough at school this year to join a club, the SDA. They found Defense especially fun, and wanted to know more about fighting with magic, in case they ever needed to use it. Another thing making Charlie feel more settled was the fact that their sister had finally joined them at Hogwarts. While they were helping Emily settle in Charlie met one of Emily's friends older sister, Phoebe Holland. After their first meeting went well, Charlie was startled that Emily and Alice set them and Phoebe up at the Yule Ball. They found the older girl charming though, and after getting to know each other better, Charlie was thrilled to attend the Valentines dance with Phoebe. What they weren't thrilled about, though, were the two deeply unpleasant rose deliveries they experienced that day, deep resentment burning in them for Mervyn Strangewayes and Lucia Orbon after two ugly and violent deliveries gone wrong. The dance itself was delightful though, and Charlie tried to focus on how happy they felt with their new girlfriend.

The holiday before their fourth year brought a big change to Charlie's life. When their mother asked whether Charlie felt comfortable welcoming Odette into their home it was a decision they took very seriously, weighing up deep sympathy for Odette's situation with their fear of living with unfamiliar people. Charlie made up their mind based on the same compassion Maria had showed them years ago, and Odette moved in to live with the Madisons. Charlie was quickly relieved that the older girl seemed polite and easy to live with, and was glad that Emily didn't unsettle her too much in a difficult time. Charlie made a few hesitant moves to get closer to the Slytherin once they returned to school, pleasantly surprised that they actually got along quite well. At school their relationship with Phoebe deepened, and on their anniversary, Charlie fought through their fear of vulnerability to tell Phoebe that they loved her. While their relationship was a source of joy though, Charlie's grades were nothing but a source of woe. They were barely scraping by in most subjects, and with their career goals feeling further and further away, Charlie sought advice from their Head of House.​

In the holidays before their fifth year, Charlie had to brave an entirely new challenge; dinner with their girlfriend's family. Though they were nervous about the event it went well, solidifying the fact that Charlie's relationship with Phoebe was becoming quite serious. After that they focused most of their energy on schoolwork throughout the year, knowing that OWLs could be make or break for their future as an Auror. Though they still struggled to focus Charlie kept their head down, relieved as they found their grades actually improving, and to their relief they finished their OWLs with decent grades.

Charlie was over the moon with relief at having passed their OWLs at the end of fifth year. With that hurdle crossed, becoming an Auror seemed closer than ever before. They continued to work hard in their classes, relieved at their renewed faith in their own abilities. Keeping their head down, Charlie for the most part stayed focused on their grades. External forces made that difficult though, with the stress of Phoebe's imminent graduation, and worries about Emily backsliding into violent behaviour. Charlie kept working hard though, and before they were anywhere near ready, the end of the year had come, and Charlie and Phoebe had to face the reality of a year apart.

Charlie's final year at Hogwarts was a quiet one. With the goal of becoming an auror so close, every moment of Charlie's time was devoted entirely to that task. Studying, practicing, absolutely everything possible to get the required NEWT results. Without Phoebe around at school Charlie felt almost entirely alone, only spending time with family or alone to study. Studies that, to Charlie's overwhelming relief, somehow managed to pay off.

Spoiler: Graduation Post

Charlie had spent seven years longing for today, and it had come at last. No more exams to worry about, no more classes to attend, school was finally, finally over for good. After all of the stress and headaches and tears, finally everything Charlie had been through here would be worth it. Becoming an Auror was within sight, and this ceremony was the only thing left in the way. It couldn't be over soon enough. Charlie sat still, only half paying attention to the head people's speeches as they went on. Charlie had never been especially good friends with them - never been especially good friends with any classmates, really, and after today they would all just be blips in the past at last. The sooner, the better. The list of graduates seemed to go on and on and on, and Charlie got more and more antsy as the Ms approached, jumping to standing the second it was finally time. Charlie practically sprinted up to the stage to accept the diploma waiting there, shaking the Headmistress's hand incredibly quickly before returning to the audience. Finally, finally, this was all over. Now life could really begin.

"Live for what you would die for."​
