Detailed Description: Chuck is a big girl. At 5’10” and 195 lbs, she wears a size 16. She’s extremely chesty, measuring in around a 36E. Her waist dips in, only to flare out around her generous hips. Although she is bigger, she is still a pretty girl. She often has trouble seeing that and dolls herself up in extreme amounts of makeup and clothes that too often showcase her cleavage. She has long, thick legs, and though she doesn’t look like it, she’s athletic. She likes to wear very girlie clothing, dresses, heels, fishnet stockings, etc. But she wants to be comfortable when she’s tired and resorts to cotton shorts and t-shirts for bed. Her dark brown hair is medium-long in length, falling past her shoulders but not beyond her shoulder blades. Her eyes are probably her most striking feature, a light blue that pops when she lines her eyes in black. She has no tattoos and the only piercings are single holes in her ears.

Personality
Likes: Miniature things (horses, pygmy goats, dollhouses, etc.), makeup, fashion, potions, romance, reading, writing, cooking, eating, soccer, folk and pop music, dancing, chocolate
Dislikes: Shopping for clothes, skinny girls who complain about being fat, alfalfa sprouts, dieting, DADA, music you can’t dance to, aerobics, carbs, exercise, jazz,
Quirks:
*Chuck is constantly dieting. But she has no self control, so her diets never work and they usually just end up making her feel worse about herself.
*She loves clothes but hates shopping for them. Seeing how big her size is really depresses her.
*This girl is unfailingly loyal to her friends and family, if someone disrespects them she’s the first one to defend them, even if it means getting in a fight. And not many girls want to fight her.
Secrets:
*She hates diets. She doesn’t even mind being a little overweight, but comparing herself to her skinnier friends is where the problem lies. She just wants to look like everyone else.
*She’s terrified of the health ramifications if she continues to get bigger.
*She almost tried out for cheer leading, but remembering what one of the students as SDA told her when she was going to try out there, “You’ll never make the squad, you probably shouldn’t even sign up,” has always stuck with her.
*She transferred from San Diego Academy where she was teased mercilessly in the lower academy and attempted suicide because of it.
What’s in your characters pockets? Duh, she carries a bag, pockets just make her look fatter, thanks. In her bag of the week, one will find some sort of chocolate, makeup, a cell phone, keys, ID and credit cards, lotion, lip balm, a manicure kit, a flashlight, a WeightWatchers points calculator, tweezers, pens, a mirror, tampons and a lot of random crap. A better question is: what isn’t in her bag?
Strengths: Loyalty, kindness, positive and upbeat, romantic, friendly,
Weaknesses: Depression, low self-esteem, aggression, easy (in that it doesn’t take much for a guy to convince her to go to bed with him)
Strongest subject in school: Potions
Weakest subject in school: Arithmancy
One thing he/she can't live without: Food! Particularly Eggs Benedict.

Detailed personality: First impressions of Chuck are always that she is friendly and upbeat. She makes people feel comfortable around her from the first, or severely uncomfortable depending upon the way they take such friendliness. She loves to have a good time and meet new people. But most of that is just a shallow part of her personality. She really has very few truly good friends. Most of the people she knows are acquaintances because those who she considers friends know everything about her. She trusts them implicitly to keep her secrets and not betray her.

But this peppy girl also has a streak of depression that she easily slips into if she’s not careful. It is easy to get under her skin with a fat joke or comment about weight or food consumption. She hates being heavy, but she has no self control. It bothers her to be teased and really puts her in a rut. She doesn’t react to defend herself, either. But if someone she cares about is being made fun of, she’s the first person to stand up for them. She will even get in a fist fight if it comes to that.

Buried deep down is a hopeless romantic. Chuck wants all the RomCom fairy tales to happen to her someday. She hasn’t chosen a particular one to aspire to, but each one she watches just cements the idea more firmly into her psyche. Chuck loves potions and is pretty much obsessed with brewing love potions. One day she wants to start a bakery where the love potions are baked into the goods.

Chuck’s family comes from money. As such she doesn’t have to worry about how much she spends when she goes shopping. Trouble is, she hates shopping for clothes because it just reminds her how big she is. She won’t go shopping with friends, especially skinnier friends. She takes care of herself and her appearance as befits her family’s status. She’s sophisticated and has good taste. She’s not a typical rich ditz. She studies hard and gets good grades.

There is very little in the way of self-esteem. She keeps up appearances so she doesn’t shame her family, but she could not care less about herself. She attempted suicide during her Freshman year in San Diego and is carefully monitored to be sure it doesn’t happen again. She is very concerned with appearances, but has no self control to make herself into one of the cookie cutter girls that surround her at every turn. With such low self-esteem and little to no self control, it’s easy to convince her to go to bed. She often misinterprets the attention for true caring and ends up hating herself and her partner the next morning. She’s also a shameless flirt.

Personal History:
Once upon a time, Spencer Munroe and May Park met at San Diego Academy. They had Defense Against the Dark Arts together and became pretty much inseparable. They both came from fairly wealthy families, but Spencer really made a name for himself as a wizarding defense lawyer in Southern California. May had ambitions for reporting for the local wizarding paper, but she gave them up when she and Spencer were married. She stayed home and gave birth to the first of their four children.

Both Spencer and May were avid fans of the Beatles, more specifically John Lennon. Thus the reason their eldest son was named Lennon. Their second child, Eleanor, was named after their favorite song, Eleanor Rigby. After that, they gave up the Beatles themed names and went with Bastian and Genevieve.

From the start, Eleanor hated her name. She preferred her middle name of Charlee, and Lennon thought calling her Chuck was hysterical. Bastian and Genevieve caught on and the nickname stuck. From the time she was young she loved to eat. Her parents could see her getting bigger and bigger, but they firmly believed that they should try to slim her down without pointing out that she was heavier than kids her own age. They put her into sports leagues and urged her to swim in the pool behind their large house. But it never seemed like enough. She remained larger than average throughout her childhood and into her teens.

The four children’s childhood was normal, each of them home schooled by tutors and their mother until they were old enough for the lower institute of San Diego Academy. Lennon made a smooth transition, easily rocketing toward one of the most popular kids in his grade. Two years later, when Chuck began her schooling, her experience couldn’t have been further from that of her older brother’s. She did not conform to the Californian body type and the teasing of children can be of the cruelest sort. She came home crying almost every day, but hid the pain from her parents. She didn’t want to disappoint them or let them down.

Her brothers both tried to stand up for her, and they finally told their parents what was happening after they both ended up in one too many fights. The headmaster was notified and disciplines were handed out. Parents of the suspended children were angry and it only served to fuel the cruelties of her classmates further. The teasing was not as vocal, but she would find her locker stuffed with Twinkies or lard smeared all over her school books. She couldn’t take it anymore...

A distillation of aconite and a bottle of ibuprofen found her passed out in her bedroom. She was deathly pale when her mother found her the next morning. A bezoar stone and a trip to the hospital to have her stomach pumped saw her put to rights, but she was forever changed. Depression was a daily thing and she refused to go to school. She was home schooled for the remainder of her Freshman year and then shipped off to Crescent City Institute.

She vowed to be a different person, and while her parents ordered that she be watched, she also tried to change her attitude. If people saw the person she was instead of her size, she would be able to better withstand the remainder of her high school years. She made a few good friends who she informed about her reasons for transferring to CCI, and though she is a happy, bubbly person on the outside, she still has trouble avoiding bouts of depression.
