Appearance and Personality

Charlene is 20 years old. She is short and underfed with hacked-off mousy hair. The light blonde dye job has almost grown out. When she lifts her arms, stretch marks are visible under her shirt.

Pre-Game History

Charlene was a small town girl who got pregnant at 15, disowned by her parents, and moved into her boyfriend's (later husband's) parents' basement. They raised her son together. She managed to finish high school at night but never went to college. One day she snapped, threw all her things in a backpack, and took off for the city. She lived on the streets for a while before getting a job at a strip club. Stretch marks prevented her from being a decent stripper but she was a good bartender, plus they didn't care much about the brief time she'd done for shoplifting, back when she had just arrived in the city.

A few weeks in she noticed there was something funny about one of the girls, Marie. Everyone knew she offered more than just a lap dance in the back room, but Art, the owner, was fine with looking the other way for that. Charlie had seen the way some of the guys came out, though: eyes glazed, tired, even the biggest of them getting drunk off one shot. Some of them had forgotten where they were. Two had had spots of blood on their shirt collars.

She didn't know why she was doing it, but one day, Charlie followed Marie home. On the way Marie met a strange guy and within a few minutes had ducked into an alley with him. When she left without him, Charlie went to see what was going on, only to find the guy lying dead on the ground clutching a cell phone. The cops followed shortly after and promptly arrested her.

The nine days she spent in the lockup were excruciating. By the time the cops finally decided they couldn't charge her and let her go, Marie had vanished. Her apartment was empty. Charlie managed to get her job back, and she's been spooked ever since.
