Charlotte King

Spoiler's Ahead "'"

About
Charlotte "Charlie" King (Fairburne) is a main character and witch of The Witches Curse. She is the biological daughter of John and Mary Fairburne; the adoptive daughter of Beatrice King; the adoptive sister of Abigail King and Shay King; the biological sister of Samuel, Maximus, and William Fairburne; the friend of Jeremy Everhart, Eleanor Woods, and Roselyn James; and the love interest of Lucas and Nathaniel Hawthorne and Bo Miller.

Charlotte is biologically from the Fairburne and Brentwood families and adopted into the King family.

Early Life
Charlie was born to John and Mary Fairburne on January 4th, 300 N.W along with her twin brother Sam. She was sent away from her home from the moment of her birth, hiding the fact that they had twins as they would've been too powerful as witches. She was found by Bea at a young age and she was trained from that moment on to become a Raven soldier and personal assassin. She was always a troublemaker even though she was forced to be careful to keep her secret. She grew up with her best friend Jem, having constant competition with him. Bea knew her secret and trained her in witchcraft (however she could) as well as combat and war strategy. Charlie had a stressful childhood, only wanting to have fun but being forced to become an emotionless and compliant killer, as well as having to hide her secret or face execution.

Physical Description
Charlie is a beautiful young girl with long brown hair, amber-brown eyes, and tan skin. She stands at about 5'4.

Personality
"It’s okay if you ever get enchanted by me. I wouldn’t blame you. If it’s not my ridiculously good looks, it’s because I have that effect on people. I can sure charm a person to death."

Charlie has always been a confident girl. She's sarcastic and witty and intelligent. She's tough and a fighter. She's said to be annoying but that's because of her sarcasm. She also talks too much sometimes and says random facts. A lot of times she can be overconfident and that causes them to get into trouble. She's scared of losing people so she's afraid to get too close to them but if she clicks with someone, she'll befriend them quickly. One bad experience with someone will cause a grudge for her.

Abilities
Charlie is a very powerful witch from the Brentwood line of witches. She has the power to cast spells through saying Latin phrases. She specializes in blood magic, which means she can use magic most precisely and be most powerful when she draws blood and channels it. She can also manipulate blood easily on others without having to speak Latin. Because she is a twin, this makes her one of the most powerful witches to currently walk the earth. Twins together create an ultimate beacon of power, which is why Charlie and Sam were separated at birth.

Lucas Hawthorne
When Luke first sees Charlie performing at the tavern, he is en-captivated by her. They first meet and she kidnaps him, knowing he's the prince. He continues to try and convince her to do the right thing as she hands him over to the rebels. It eventually gets to her and she saves him from the rebels. He later invites her to live at the castle, thinking she has nowhere else to go. He continues to fall for her but when he tries to kiss her, she dodges it, knowing he's betrothed.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
At first, he didn't take well to her as in intruder in the court but he softened up. He suggested to his step-mother that they get someone to marry her to make sure she doesn't get in the way at court, not expecting Millicent to get Nate and Charlie betrothed. Both Terrin and Millicent push this relationship while Nate was angry about being forced to marry a peasant girl and Charlie did not wanna get married. Nate was attracted to Charlie and they almost kissed but he pulled away and insulted her. He tried to get back on her good side and apologized. The two ended up almost sleeping together (likely to be apart of Charlie's plan and not real feelings) but she ended up leaving when Nate showed real feelings. They end up getting publicly engaged and they grow closer. Nate even joins the rebellion for her. Though, he ends up betraying her, deciding he doesn't want to go against his father. This ends up just being apart of his plan as he does eventually oppose his father and takes the throne, leaving Charlie feeling hurt and betrayed. He does still admit he loves her.

Jeremy Everhart
Charlie and Jem grew up together and were close friends with slight crushes on each other. Jem was always quieter and more reserved but Charlie was outgoing and brought it out of him. Jem often doesn't want to jump into trouble, scared Charlie will get hurt, but he does it anyway for her. When she decides to leave, he's heartbroken. She exposes her secret to him, showing how much she trusts him.
 * See Charlie and Jem

Bo Miller
They start out on opposite sides as she betrays the rebels and knocks him out. Once they are on the same side, Bo doesn't want to trust her because she betrayed them and she's a Raven. He seems to be annoyed with her but she sometimes flirts with him. Though, they ease up to each other and become friends. He grows loyalty to her. They get closer and eventually fall for each other.
 * See Charlie and Bo

Samuel Fairburne
Even though they didn't grow up together and didn't know the other existed, they have a strong connection. They begin to dream about each other when their power starts to grow as they near 18. They befriend each other in their dreams, not knowing they're actually siblings or who they are. They grow a familial relationship and feel as though they are siblings.
 * See Charlie and Sam

Beatrice King
Bea adopted Charlie when she found her at a young age. She was like a mother to her but she trained her very hard to be an emotionless killer and assassin, causing Charlie to feel animosity. Bea acts like she doesn't believe in Charlie but this is really just her trying to protect her, afraid she will lose her like she lost Abigail. Bea is distraught after Charlie leaves. When the Ravens are attacked and Bea is taken by the Phoenix and Cedric Harrington, Charlie is heartbroken.
 * See Charlie and Bea

Shay King
Charlie and Shay are adoptive sisters. Shay was tasked to keep an eye on Charlie and keep her out of trouble. Shay was sad when Charlie left and she came to her after the Ravens were attacked.
 * See Charlie and Shay

Clara Brentwood
Clara was one of the only people who knew of Charlie. She knew where Charlie was and she often checked up on her, Charlie befriending her but not knowing she's her aunt. When she does find out, she feels slightly betrayed that Clara lied but happy that she has family. This is cut short when Clara overthrows the kingdom and betrays the family to put witches on top. She offers Charlie a place in court but she doesn't want to go along with her evil plan.
 * See Charlie and Clara

Eleanor Woods
At first, Charlie and Elle didn't get along. But as they get to know each other better, they ease up. Charlie even helps Elle accept the fact that she's a witch and they bond with the fact that they can relate not belonging. Charlie also saves Elle multiple times.
 * See Charlie and Elle

Roselyn James
They first met when Rose was a new servant to the castle. Rose approached her first and was very cryptic but the two quickly became friends. It turns out Rose was sent by Clara from Aestrodin to look after Charlie.
 * See Charlie and Rose

Saraphina Silver
They didn't completely get along at first as Saraphina had a reputation as an ice queen which she lived up to towards Charlie. They admired each others beauty but Saraphina was jealous of Charlie having the attention of both princes and Charlie didn't like Saraphina's attitude. When Charlie saves Saraphina at the masquerade, they begin to ease up to each other, agreeing to be friends. Though, Saraphinas jealousy shines through and her poor treatment of Rose causes Charlie to dislike her again. The two are frenemies until Clara takes over Aestrodin and Saraphina has to choose a side. At first, she chooses Clara, afraid for her life. But she eventually switches to Charlie's side and helps them out.

Trivia

 * Everyone calls her Charlie


 * She's fluent in Latin
 * She was spelled with a charm cast by Clara so anyone who comes into contact with her (who isn't a witch) is charmed with her, causing them to go out of their way to do favours for her.
 * She's not aware of this so it often confuses her why the royals are so nice to her.

Pilot

 * "Hunting the bad guys is so much more fun."


 * "It’s my job to protect this forest."


 * "I never would’ve come after them if their people hadn’t come after mine first."


 * "The Phoenix have taken everything from us, Jem. They all deserve to die."


 * "This is war. There are no good guys so please, just stop trying to be one." - To Jem


 * "You don’t have to say it. It’s one of those unconscious things. Goes without saying. She was good, I’m bad. She was light, I’m darkness." - To Bea about Abby


 * "I never claimed to be a good person."


 * "I might be stubborn and reckless but my plans are never that clear cut."


 * "And sometimes promises need to be broken… In order to save my people. Sometimes there are dead ends in life… And this is mine."


 * "Bea wants to keep me safe and alive… Because she doesn’t wanna lose me like she lost Abby… But… I won’t let my people go extinct because the king hates us."


 * "When I was a kid, Bea used to tell us stories of this place… A magical place where people like us could thrive. No more killing, no more wars, no executions… Just… Us. And peace."


 * "Bea trained me to always win. It’s not only kill or be killed… It’s kill or be exposed. She trained me as an assassin who can never get hurt… But after Abby died, she lost faith that I could protect myself. She kept me locked away… Scared that if I went out there… I’d get killed or worse…. Expose myself."


 * "People fear what they don't understand."


 * "I was always living in my sister's shadow. She was perfect. Always listened, never stepped out of line. My mother loved her more than anyone and when she… Died… I always felt like my mother hated me… Because I was the one who got to live… While her favorite died."

Masquerade

 * "I’m in. And I’m not gonna let foolish feelings get in the way anymore. I’m gonna avenge you… No matter what it takes…" - To her amulet
 * "Royals execute them [witches], don’t they? Force them into hiding. Nobody ever talks about it because they’re afraid. Face it, your majesty. People might be afraid of witches and tribes but they’re more afraid of royals."
 * "You’re attacking without a plan. That might work sometimes but never when your opponent is more intelligent than you." ... "When you fight, you must always be guessing your opponent's next move. Where they’ll strike, when they’ll let down their guard to take a breath. You must study them until you know what they’re going to do before they do." ... "You always strike on the right side, probably because you’re right handed and that’s where you feel most comfortable, the most strength. After each strike, you take a second to compose yourself, take a breath. Your sword is much too heavy to always be attacking. You weigh too little to ever completely control it." - To Luke
 * "Oh please. I do not wanna run this shitshow of a Kingdom. No offence. I’m just here because I have nowhere else to be. Luke gets that. If I thought I could survive out there alone, I’d run. But you know this world, the people that live outside of the kingdoms. " - To Nate
 * "I know it was wrong but I didn’t have a choice. I thought if I helped the rebels, they’d help me. Then I realized it was a stupid idea and I don’t wanna be a rebel. The way they get what they want… I don’t believe in it."
 * "I guess people can be pretty cruel."
 * "I wouldn’t call it a high position. I’d call it mooching. I kinda just hang out."
 * "Well who needs a perfect queen when you have me?" - To Nate
 * "I’m glad my annoyance is coming off as charm now."

Colosseum

 * "I think [Millicent] sees me as a doll."
 * "My life isn’t exactly a dream."
 * "I too am far more dangerous than any of them think. And if I don’t get what I want… I will burn this kingdom to the ground and I will take you all with me." - To Elle
 * "Sometimes people deserve a second chance." - To Luke, about Elle
 * "Your people have waited long enough! Words mean nothing when they are dying! And your father promising to slaughter countless people!" - To Luke
 * "You cannot pick and choose which people deserve saving. If you think that, you’re certainly not the King I thought you’d be." - To Luke
 * "Second lesson, don’t talk over me." - To Cal
 * "Sometimes it’s easier to pretend like they don’t exist than to admit you miss them. I didn’t cry after my sister died." - To Nate
 * "To be a true warrior, you mustn't show emotion. Soldiers are just soldiers and if you don't care, you're not weak. If you don't get close to anyone, it doesn't hurt when you lose them." ... "No matter how hard I try… I always end up caring… And then I end up hurt."

Astral Plane

 * "We shouldn’t dwell on the past. We can’t save those who are already gone, we can save Bea."
 * "So what do you propose, Shay? We stay here forever? I marry the bastard or get my revenge and kill them all? And you what? You live in the walls? There is nothing for us to go back to! No matter what we do here, we have nothing!"
 * "I could’ve saved Jem. I could’ve protected Bea. You’re right, this is all my fault."
 * "I’m a monster."
 * "What can I say? I’m talented."
 * "You have to admire a queen who makes her own dresses."
 * "I’m not a princess."
 * "I’m fine. I’ve spent my whole life burying my emotions, I’m pretty good at it."

Poisonous

 * "Bea prefers I don’t look like I just scuffled with a hog in the woods when her guests visit. Besides, I should look beautiful either way!"
 * "Who could ever forget me? But as long as we wear these, we'll know that we’re out there somewhere in the world, thinking of each other." - To Jem, in a flashback
 * "Is it so hard to believe that someone might actually want to be around me?!" - To Victor
 * "I am not gonna let you die. And one day, you’re gonna make your people happy. I know you will. Because that’s the kind of person you are. You care. And I know… You’ll bring about equality." - To Luke
 * "Family is a mysterious thing, isn’t it?"
 * "They don’t want me. It’s the magic."
 * "I can feel it. I know it’s not real. And I’m afraid if I don’t leave… Their acceptance will wear out. They won’t want me anymore."
 * "The princes are sort of… into me." - To Cal
 * "Just the princes stupid enough to give a poor peasant girl access to their valuables."
 * "Consider yourself rejected, Mr. Prince." - To Alex
 * "I’m engaged. Also, not looking to be a mistress."
 * "I have been fooling myself if I think I can do this without violence..."
 * "I have been putting it off for too long... I haven’t even thought about my second step. I used to want revenge so bad and now look at me. I got into the castle and I have been playing house with these people. I let Millicent dress me up and Nate call me his future wife. And somewhere along the way... I fell for it... the luxury and the chance to have a family... And at some point, I convinced myself I could just... not be me for a little while longer. I could sit here and pretend to be someone else. I could fix everything without violence for once in my life. I could fix it like a noble queen would, with her words. But nobody listens to a village girl."
 * "I just thought I could be different... It was stupid. I’m an assassin. Born and raised. We can’t change."
 * "I may not be able to take them down... But I will fight for change. And after we save our real family, I’ll come back and I will not leave this stupid castle until I get it. Maybe justice isn’t vengeance... maybe it’s about making sure it doesn’t happen again. And I’m gonna make sure no child ever loses a mother like I have or Nate has... Or Elle. Too many people have been hurt and I’m gonna stop it."
 * "I can’t bring myself to say goodbye to Nate so when you see him just… tell him thanks… for making me feel like I belong… for treating me like I’m worth something… for entertaining the thought of marrying me. And… I just wanna say thanks, to you too… for believing I could be good… for inviting me into your home and trusting me with the lives of the people you care most about. Nobody’s ever believed in me like that. Oh! And thank your mother for me too… for caring about me like a daughter. And I guess thanks to your father for letting me stay here and offering me a job but also he’s an ass for wanting to kill innocent people. Actually, you might wanna have like a family meeting, that might be easier to thank all of them-" - To Luke
 * "I’ll miss pretending like I could have a family here… I guess I wanted to pretend a little longer."
