PERSONNEL FILE
Character name: Charlotte Staples Lewis
Nicknames/aliases: Char
Gender: Female
Date of birth: July 2nd
Age: 25
Place of birth: The Island
Occupation: Hydra Station Worker

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Hair: Red

Overall description: Standing about 5'7, Charlotte has wavy red hair that falls to just past her shoulders. Her eyes are pale blue, almost the color of the ocean and are visible behind pale lashes.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

Overall personality: Charlotte is a very intelligent young woman, but her personality meeds an adjustment. She's rather mean to people when she firsts meets them, because she doesn't trust them - which is why she doesn't have many friends. If you do manage to become her friend though, you'll find she actually has a good side.
On another note, she's very stubborn, and hard-headed. If she sets her mind to something, its very hard to get her off it, and will often get you hurt if you try. She has a mean temper, that if set off, you'll want to run in the opposite direction because it can be like a whip. She's full of sarcasm all the time.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
History: Charlotte was born on the Island about two months after her mother, Jeanette, and her father David arrived on the Island, recruited by the DHARMA Initiative. She was raised like any other child of the Initiative, attending the school where she was a bit of a loner - as a child she would often end up getting into fights with the other kids. Her first sister was born about two years after Charlotte, and the third only a year later. Her sisters were the perfect ones of the family, so Charlotte instantly felt jealously.
What always intrigued her though since she first arrived was the fact that polar bears existed on the Island. She decided right then she wanted to work with them, and help make sure they stayed living on the Island, because against the laws of nature, it was supposed to be impossible. Her mother supported her choices. But not long after she turned fifteen, her father left the Island, taking her two sisters with him - she never saw them again. Now with just her and her mother, Charlotte became even more reserved, staying at home more than anything to help her mother - who was taking the blow of her husband leaving worse than Charlotte was.
Charlotte eventually got a job working at the Hydra Station like she always wanted, and has been there ever since - she spends most of her time looking after the polar bears, and is hoping to get an actually authority position at the station soon. However, more recently, Charlotte's been curious as to what's off the Island - she's heard stories, and with her curious nature, she wants to know more.
Reason for joining the Dharma Initiative: She was born on the Island - didn't really have much of a choice.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Sample post: (from where I play Charlotte Lewis on another site, Praying for Turbulence)
Charlotte found herself straying to the edge of one of the docks at the pier again, her hair blowing in her face as he shoved her hands deeper into her coat. It was chilly, then again, it was Janurary - almost into Feburary - so of course it would be cold. Her hair slapped against her cheeks in the strong wind, but she barely noticed the stinging feeling.
Something wasn't right - so many things weren't right. She couldn't even list them all, but toward the top were Sawyer and Aaron's deaths. Charlotte could have cared less, but they had to do with those 815 people, so she couldn't really rule out that fact that it wasn't just some big conicidence. She hadn't really talked about it with anybody - she was more of mulling the idea over in her head. And so far, she really hadn't come up with anything. It was the reason she was standing out here on the pier - trying to clear her mind enough so that she could maybe focus on something else.
She paced near the edge of the dock, her freezing hands clenching and unclencing in her pockets. Charlotte's stomach churned, nearly making her sick. She was worrying herself over nothing, but she just couldn't help it. She didn't often worry, but it was one of those times that she did.
She heard the footsteps behind her, but she really didn't pay them any mind. Probably someone just finished docking their boat, or heading out to their boat. Why anyone would be out on the choppy ocean water today, she'd never guess, but hey - it was their choice not hers.
However, she did stop pacing when the steps stopped, what seemed to be right behind her. She hesitated a moment, but it was long enough for someone to put their hands in the middle of her back and shove her forward. She struggled for balance, but it wasn't going to happen. She tumbled forward off the pier, plunging into the freezing waters below.
Charlotte surfaced with a gasp, her breath visible as she shivered, attempting to swim back toward the land, but the more she swam toward it, the more it seemed to drift away. Soon she was floating in the deep water, just past the pier, right next to the Freighter where it was docked. Some force was almost pulling her out further, but she grabbed onto one of the ropes that tied the Freighter down, attempting to keep herself above the water. She kenw she needed to get out of the freezing waters, fast, before hypothermia settled in.
Something - it felt suspiciously like a hand or rope - wrapped itself around her ankle and suddenly jerked her down. She hadn't had time to take a breath, so her lungs burned as she was pulled toward the bottom - it actually wasn't that deep, as she wasn't that far out, but deep enough to where the pressure on her was almost painful. Her ears popped as she struggled to swim back toward the surface above, the churning waves far above her. She couldn't even see the sunlight anymore, as it was dark all around her.
Or maybe it was just her vision fading.
Unable to swim up any more toward the surface, her arms and legs felt one hundred pounds. Her vision around the edges of her eyes was blurry - not like Charlotte could tell the difference, for it was so dark down here. She seemed to float for a moment in one place, her lungs absolutely on fire.
And she couldn't take it anymore.
I'm so sorry, Daniel.
She inhaled water as she finally gave up, her body shutting down the moment the salt water entered her lungs. Her eyes shut and she let the darkness consume her completely.
