------- May 11th
■ Place of Birth:
------- Greece
■ Residence:
------- HH dorms! ((roommates anyone?))
■ (One) Power:
------- Char is able to change the length of her snakes at will, so theoretically, she could just keep growing them forever, but they become more and more wild and uncontrollable the further they are from her. She can grow out all her snakes or just one. Makes for excellent spies, as long as no one notices the snake! This means she has a multitude of hairstyles too!
■ Personality:
------- Give it your all -- If there is any lesson that her Mother did convey onto Char it would be her Mother's obsession with perfection. Char doesn't quite go as far as expecting perfection, she accepts her limitations, for the most part, but she does always expect people to do their best. Char doesn't half-a** anything. Anything. She also doesn't really nit-pick, unless it really is a shoddy job, in which case she won't hesitate to say as much. Char knows she isn't the best, but she is trying.
------- Stubborn // Guarded -- Char is very set in her own ways, she clings to them. After one person or another trying to change her into what she isn't, she is very very protective of herself. She won't change her views easily. She doesn't let others in easily, keeping up a general politeness out of courtesy, but won't let people dig too deep.Char also won't let things go. If she starts it, she finishes it and she can be quite obsessive about doing so. Once she has set her mind to it, it will take a lot of convincing to get her to change. She can be a little one-sided at times.
------- Observant // Curious -- People-watching is a past-time of hers. People are interesting, the way the act and think. Char tends to notice little quirks or habits right away and makes note of them. She has learned that you can't really trust anyone till you observe them during emotional trials, where they can't plan and manipulate and lie. Given that Char tends to know quite a bit of things....and isn't afraid to give it away if there is something in it for her. Char also loves puzzle solving and seeing what makes people tick.
------- Manipulative // Vindictive -- What Char wants Char gets, and she works very had at doing so. Char would do, in reason, just about anything too. For instance she wouldn't kill anyone, but she might fool around with your boyfriend just to make you angry. She isn't to keen on just messing with people, but she is pretty big on vengeance....or justice, an eye for an eye, horn for a horn. Despite her snapping snakes, Char generally loathes violence, and prefers more subtle forms of payback.
------- Bold // Snarky-- Char is very comfortable in her own skin. She doesn't care what others think and she doesn't judge others on outward appearances. She trusts in herself and has never really needed the encouragement of another to get by. She has no problem stepping on toes. Char has an endless amount of sarcasm, mostly because it irked her Mother, but it also helps to keep others from getting too comfortable with her. She won't candy-coat it, she will tell it like it is and there you go. Done.

Biography
■ History:
------- Char was born for the sole purpose of competing for the Euryale title. The Euryale family claims to trace their linage to Euryale, the second eldest of the three gorgon sisters. The current Head of the family essentially procreates to create candidates for the line....or Heirs and Heiresses, whom then compete for the title. Generally this doesn't happen until they get to Clawege, but this doesn't stop the Heirs from trying to prove themselves. The Heirs are then left with the single parent (and their family, for this is a family affair, after all the favor for having a head of Euryale in their family is insurmountable!) to raise. In the end it really matters who can win over the current Head versus the Heirs individual achievements.
So Char was raised in a never-ending schedule of lessons, from piano to sculpting to dancing. Anything her mother deemed useful, and so Char loathed her. She was every bit a dreamer as a child, but not the head in the clouds dragons and princess, but more the action adventure sort. She wanted to become a detective and solve crimes, or an explorer and find buried treasures. Char rebelled in her own ways, finding little things to anger her mother and often running away. She didn't get into too much trouble, she did actually fear her father, or at least what her mother said he'd do and she didn't really want to ruin her family. She especially liked to go dancing. Char is also a realist, and knows that she has to make it happen, one way or another.
Once she was teenager, the Head of Euryale, her father, announced that he'd let the children choose their education for High school. Most continued with private lessons, and some others went to distinguished private schools but Char choose Horror High, dreaming of the freedom it would give her....and her mother wasn't so keen on the whole lets all be friends things.
■ Personal Goals:
------- Freeeeedom!!
■ Professional Goals:
------- Writer, detective, adventure!
Relationships
■ Relationship with Family:
------- See below
■ Key Family / Relatives:
------- Dion Euryale - Father, Heir of Euryale - Descended from the line of Euryale, second eldest of the gorgon sisters. Dion is a strict no-nonsense man..... a mystery....yet Char remembers tender moments with him. He did allow himself to dote on his children from time to time. He very rarely privately interacts with any of his children.
------- Anastasia Arcadius - Mother, Chosen of Euryale - Glorified "Mistress". Char really thinks her mother is only out for herself, and if Char is chosen, it puts her mother's family in favor forever. Char and Anastasia don't get along. Honestly Char does everything in her power to piss her off, but not in blatant ways, but more sneaky subtle ways. She knows how to rile her up. Char thinks the only reason Anastasia was chosen as a canidate wife was for her beauty, that much Char would give her.
Char, much to her disdain, resembles her mother the most, from the color of her snakes to her body shape. Char's mother is alluring purple-black, black shimmering scales and murky curling snakes.
------- Any other "siblings"
Relationship with Friends
■ Key Friends:
------- Kal!

■ Handedness:
------- Right
■ Skills:
------- Char's mother has forced her into just about any lesson she thought would be useful, so Char has endured much "skill" training, she was hardly good at many of them. Is manipulation a skill?

Music tames the beasts, and her hair! Char loves music, and if there is anything that helps her let her guard down it is music. She isn't to picky on music styles and enjoys a wide assortment of music. Some songs she likes for the melody, others for the lyrics. Char also enjoys dancing, she often sneaked away to parties or clubs.
Mystery novels are a must-have and a great way to end a long day. Writing is also a productive way to let loose.

-------
■ Lies / Misinformation:
-------
■ Other Important Details:
