"That crazy bitch in the corner with the glasses"
Real Name: Charlie Case
(No I'm not telling you what it's short for- or if it's even anything. Either way it's none of your damn business)
Age: 35-ish
Concept: Pressure creates the diamond- bookcase becomes daredevil
Physical description: Female: average looking, a bit strung out on occasion. 5’ 6” brunette, bookish. Charlie is strong. She doesn’t necessarily look like it at first glance tho. Her glasses hide her from the world just enough to let it pass her by when she wants it to. But if you look at her for any time you’ll see the muscles, rocklike, sitting just beneath the surface. Her blue eyes seem a bit clearer than they should, and her finger nails are completely transparent, so she usually has them painted.

Known History
Basic Timeline:
Returned 2000
Current Activities:
When not skydiving, or touring the world as the exotic tourism reporter for DCXS Magazine, Charlie spends time helping maintain order at Blooming Oak and working with the group that patrols the local hedge, doing anything she can to help those who are trying to escape.
Background: Pre-snatch she was a brainy type, nose in a book 24/7, few social skills & life was passing her by. 23 years old, working in the Library, reading all the time, living thru the words, wants to stay there forever, and then this strange man is sitting at the table across from her, speaking is whispers, his eyes reflect the words on the page and he knows what she's thinking... you can you know, read forever, I need someone like you to help me with my collection. He is beautiful and smells like old paper and his arms feel like leather as he holds her close and the thorns rip away the hurt, rip away to the numb that she knows so well, rip away until she falls into the darkness. The light pierced through the immense glass windows of the library, it was the most amazing thing she had ever seen. Looking down on row after row of beautiful mahogany and glass bookshelves with brass banisters and gilded windows the light streaming in as though this were book heaven. I feel tall she thought. I feel stiff she realized. What am I holding? she wondered... Books- all day and night- the weight of them comforting and oppressive. The worst part was not being able to move. No arms, no legs, only some scrollwork that served as eyes and mouth, but no one to talk to anyway, and beaten from behind by unknown hands when she did speak.
The Fae that enticed her to Arcadia was half trying to do her a favor and half trying to teach her a lesson- a you get what you wish for type of thing.
She was made a bookcase for what seemed like eternity.
Charlie was bored out of her damn mind.
There was finally an incident in which all the bookcases were knocked over in a domino effect- breaking the enchantments long enough for them all to revert to human form and make a break for it.
Now that she's back after eons of infuriating boredom she's a thrill-seeker type, warrior, risk taker & daredevil. Her catch phrase for her new life will be "Sure! I've never done that before!"

Charlie was the Queen of Summer for 5 whole minutes in 2000.
She'll do anything you dare her too, just as long as she's never done it before.
There was some talk about a donkey show...
