Character name: Charlie [Surname omitted because Scott's a troll who has not given her a surname]
Character canon: Five Nights at Freddy's (books)
Canon point: Right after getting locked into Twisted Freddy for the last time, right before (possibly) dying of springlock failure.
Physical Description: thank you Freddy Files for the official image! She's 18, but as for height, I'm not so sure. Probably whatever the average is? 5'4", maybe? It should also be noted that as of the books, she has three noticeable scars: one on her face, one on an arm, and one on the back of a leg. Her face is also not that expressive, meaning the one in the picture? That's her default expression. Even when she's feeling kinda down. :(
About the Character: Charlie's life is basically shit. Her dad, Henry, was a mechanic/robotics dude who decided it'd be a great idea to go into business with his best buddy and make a diner with animatronic mascots. The diner bots could even be converted into mascot suits for live performances, etc. thanks to these nifty springlocks he apparently invented! Unfortunately, her dad's buddy (one William Afton) was secretly a total asshole and kidnapped Charlie's younger twin brother Sammy when they were but toddlers, while wearing one of the mascot suits no less. In the wake of this tragedy, her mother divorced her father, Charlie blocked out all memory of her twin due to trauma, and what was left of the family (and one homicidal hanger-on) moved to Hurricane, Utah. They started over there, this time creating Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.
When Charlie was seven, things went straight to hell again, and her friend Michael was among the missing children. William Afton was not caught or even suspected as the culprit; instead, Henry was suspected of being the kidnapper/murderer. Henry did not take this suspicion well and killed himself using one of his own animatronics, leaving his daughter in the care of her Aunt Jen for the next ten years. Charlie pretty much drifted through life during this time, staying quiet and having to think her way through social interaction due to just Not Getting It. Unsurprisingly, she's just plain bad at dealing with emotional stuff, though having a naturally happy-looking face helped.
Anyway, ten years after the murders, she wound up going back to Hurricane for Michael's memorial service. She met up with her old friends from Hurricane and they decided that it'd be a wonderful idea to go back to what remained of Freddy's. Shockingly, this turned out to be a terrible idea, and led to them running into the night guard Dave a few nights in. He refused to let them into the ruins of the pizzeria this time - and yes, he'd known about them being there previously. He's awful like that.
Now, Charlie is not a good people person and says she often can't get a read on folks, but she was able to get a partial read on Dave, and came up with a compromise: they'd all go in together, and that way Dave would know they weren't causing trouble. He accepted this, though he started acting even weirder after they got in. He made the animatronics kick up a fuss, giving him the cover he needed to disappear, taking Charlie's pal Carlton with him. To the surprise of no one, Dave was William Afton under a different name, and during the final confrontation, he tried to use Charlie as a hostage so he could get away. He was also wearing one of the old springlock-controlled mascot suits.
Did I mention that Henry was, for all his failings, a Good Dad and taught his kids how the springlocks worked? Bam, dead jackass.
The possessed animatronics carted his corpse off, and Charlie attempted to come to terms with her past, having been forced to remember Sammy while learning more about this entire tangled web of plot. (Yes, the animatronics were possessed this whole time. The murder victims wanted revenge!)
One year later... Charlie's at college, studying robotics! Yay! She's also had to run away from home due to Aunt Jen not being okay with it, and she's sharing a room with her friend Jessica. Aunt Jen might have been right about this being a bad idea, since Charlie's gotten...eccentric during her studies. As in she decided it'd be a great idea to take apart a the plush/robotic toy rabbit her dad made for her and use the parts to create her own AIs. They're actually turning out pretty well, but taking apart a toy rabbit and cannibalizing its parts is still weird! She also can't keep her side of the room clean to save her life.
Of course, this uneasy idyll is disturbed when murder victims start showing up...murder victims with wounds that sure do look a lot like death by springlock failure, and who almost always look a hell of a lot like her. Being a generally savvy person, Charlie decided to go back to Freddy's (and duped Jessica into going with) to make sure Afton hadn't faked his death somehow. His corpse was right where it should have been, so they basically shrugged and let it be.
Charlie, in a fit of misplaced heroism, decided to hand herself over to the Twisted Ones (aka the creepy-as-hell new animatronics wandering around causing these new springlock murders) in order to end the killing. She nearly got buried alive for her trouble, and was carried inside one of the Twisted Ones all the way to a certain location.
To make a very long story short: Afton became an evil zombie and only answered to the name Springtrap because he's an edgelord. He was also controlling the Twisted Ones. The animatronics from Freddy's stormed his lair upon hearing that he was still active and that Charlie was in danger, and the rest of the human group followed them. Afton proceeded to be super creepy at Charlie and got his ass kicked again for his trouble. The escape route the group found from the now-collapsing lair lead straight to Charlie's old home in Hurricane, which also proceeded to start collapsing on the group. Regrettably, Charlie was caught and swallowed by one of Afton's animatronics, which proceeded to have springlock failure, apparently killing her...
...
Except she wound up here at the Rift just before the thing snapped shut on her, grievously injured but alive. Medic!
