Style

— Charlie style of wear is more towards comfort and practicality. she would often be seen wearing large t-shirts or hoodies with a pair of shorts or capris. her normal clothing often consist of an array of mix and match colours of orange, neon green, red and black, this is because, off work Charlie doesn’t pay much attention to her appearance and a full on walking fashion disaster. when training, Charlie prefer wearing either long sleeve or sleeveless t-shirts and a pair of shorts with her hair put into a bun and pulls back her hair out of her face with a mess of bobby pins. for her stage look, Charlie mostly depended on what the cordi-unnie would give her, which usually consists of something sporty with a touch of girl next door. the coordi-unnie also have a preference of making Charlie wear cute outfits and giving her colourful head accessories such as hats, ribbons, hair clips and even animal ears. Charlie’s makeup style is more of a natural look with eye makeup that enhances her eyes.

appearance

— Charlie has slightly wavy black hair that goes down to her mid back and is usually pulled into a loose ponytail. She has brown eyes and a set of pearly white teeth with unfortunately, rather large front teeth (but it does make her look adorable). She has thin, ballerinaesque body that that stands at a petite size of 147cm and weighs around 42kg. She may not look like it, but Charlie is actually quite muscular due to amount of physical activity she is doing (Ballet & Parkour). Unfortunately, Charlie didn't have the famous 'Asian Metabolism' and has to constantly watch her diet with regular exercise to maintain her figure. This is actually easier said than done since Charlie is both an avid food lover and a big eater, two combination that does not sit well and quite disastrous for her idol career with the dieting she has to do.She also wears a star-shape ear ring on her left ear that she rarely takes off. 

 

personality traits
(+) Determined, Reliable, Cheerful, Positive, (-) Perfectionist, Careless, Insecure, Reserved

personality

— Charlie is a very determine person, once she got her head into something, she will try her best to see it through until the end. She also has this uncanny ability to stay focus on any task given to her and is willing to make the necessary sacrifices needed to make it successful. She will not back down no matter what other people say about it in fact the more people discourage her the more she wants to succeed in it. Charlie is reliable. She is the kind of person that you can share your secrets with and she is always open to listen to you venting out your problems without needing to worry about her spilling the beans. She also regularly checks on her teammate’s well-being, making sure that they are okay and would gladly dote on them when she can. You can always count on her when the situation turns sticky or not to panic at the first sign of danger. Despite her somewhat mellow behaviour, Charlie does know how to have a good time. She is generous with her smiles and can be a bit silly from time to time, this is mostly with the reason to lighten up the mood and cheer people up. Charlie is also someone that likes to believe in the best in things, she would accept people or things as they are and doesn’t believe in judging someone by what they were or by what other people think of them because she would accept you just the way you are.

Regardless of how happy Charlie seems to be, she is not perfect, she is only human after all. Because of her tendency of wanting to get the job done efficiently, Charlie is somewhat of a perfectionist. She won’t stop until she get it right and often berates herself of not doing good enough. She would practice or train repeatedly even if it means cutting on her resting or eating time. Charlie is also a careless person, not in the sense that she is clumsy or absent minded but in the context that she is careless with her body’s wellbeing. In her search for perfection in her dances or rapping, Charlie would neglect taking care of her body and health. She would ignore her body’s protest and continue on practicing until she can’t move anymore and it won’t be the first time someone found her asleep in the practice room nor would it be the last. Her carelessness is not only a danger to herself but also to the people around her because in putting herself in situations that she could get injured, she could also risk injuring her band mates as well

In spite of how she tries to be positive and ignore what people think of her, Charlie is rather insecure. She does her best to ignore what people might comment about her appearnce but when it comes down to it, she is very insecure of her height. She knew that not everything is about how tall people are but as an Idol (and a past Ballerina), there are certain image that needs to be met. Who would want if their fovoutie Idol looks more like a child. It doesn't help when it is easier for people to noticed her weight gain compared to the girls of avearge or tall height.  When this happens she would let her anxiety get the best of her and question her usefulness towards her group. She is also insecure of her own abilities to perform what her fans expected of her. Like is her dance moves sharp enough, unique? or is it mediocore, just the many dances out there. She would feel like she making her groupmates look bad. When Charlie feels that everything is too much for her to handle, she would be withdrawn, her usual cheerfulness would dim and her would try to deal with her problems on her own because she doesn’t want other people to get involve.

Lastly, another of one of Charlie’s negative trait is that she is naturally reserved. She has difficulty in openly admitting what she is feeling and rather than outright expressing what she feels, Charlie would often bottles everything and let it slowly eat her from the inside. She is the type of person that would readily give out advices or listens to her friends's problems but has trouble to rant out her own problems. Now and again it makes her overthink and causes another pointless concern. Sometimes it causes her to have disagreements with other members when they tried to ask her what's wrong and she cover it up.She knew they mean well, however there's something that made her difficult to share her emotions. She could simply swing to her groupmates to tirade about her emotions yet a short time later, it generally felt like it never truly help and they don't generally comprehend what she's feeling. She's great at picking a piece of her that is great to share and a piece of her that she likes to keep for herself. Charlie also doesn’t make connections with people quickly. It takes her a long time to be fully comfortable with the people around her and because of this; she doesn’t seem to be emotionally invested in anything but her dances and music, even when she is close to someone there would be a small sense that she is holding herself back from fully expressing herself.

background

— Charlie has a relatively normal upbringing, she learns from a young age that whining won’t get you anywhere and if you want something you go to earn it, this is the main reason for Charlie’s reserved nature and perfectionist tendencies. By the age of 5, Charlie was admitted into a Ballet class mostly because her mother had always wanted her daughter to be a successful Ballerina and Charlie grew into teen hood with hopes that she would be able to fulfil her mother’s dreams. The turning of Charlie’s life of mediocre routine is when Charlie first met a mischievous boy named Robert Lee on the first day of school of second grade. It was during their morning recess with Charlie siting alone at the school playground watching the other kids play, Robert had confidently approached her and asked to be friends. At first, Charlie didn't how to react but Robert kept on insisting that they should be friends, she didn't exactly accepted his offer but she didn't reject him either. Nevertheless, the limbo of decision was enough Robert since he kept on insisting that they're friends.

The years gone by, at the age of 13, Charlie was told that she would never join the big league of performing Ballet because of her short structure (she was around 142cm).  despite the reassurance from her Father, she still has time to grow, Charlie already knew the truth of it when her fellow dancers were getting better roles because of their height and she was still given the background roles, this is when Charlie’s feelings of insecurity and self-criticism starts to emerged. Robert, being the good friend he is, tries his best to cheer Charlie up and get her back into her game. (this includes, taking her to eat junk food, no matter how she complains that it’s going to make her fat but proceed to eat 2 burgers and a plate full of fries. Karaoke, where she sings to all of her heart’s content and watched a marathon of cheesy Animes during the weekends, after finishing their homework, of course). It wasn’t until Robert drag her to meet up with his group of friends that Charlie finally starts being lively again. Robert had brought her to meet up with his Parkour jam, The Superfly Monkey Dragons. At first, Charlie was reluctant but after witnessing then ease and confidence that the traceurs move through the urban jungles of Singapore, Charlie managed to get herself hooked and love every single second of the adrenalin rush it provide. It wasn't easy for her at first, Parkour was a lot more demanding in the physical sense than Ballet and she got her fair share of scrapes, bruises and sore muscles from the miss landingsnd stamina building exercises. To add to that, she still had to managed it throught her Ballet lessons so, her mother won't be suspicious as to why she was getting clumsier during Ballet practice. In the end, it was all kind of worth it as pointed out by Robert, she is a free soul, one that needs the adrenalin pumping and just let it out. In Parkour, no matter how big or small you're, what matters was the ability to weave the obstacles with ease and confidence.

This goes on for the next two years with Charlie juggling in between of Ballet lessons and Parkour jams wasn’t easy but Charlie managed to balance the two activities together after getting used to it. Charlie’s mother starts to get suspicious after Charlie came home more bruised up than usual and with injuries that are not and couldn’t be from practicing Ballet.  it was only after the neighbours starts talking about Charlie hanging around with a bunch of ‘street punks’ and running around doing dangerous stunts was when Charlie’s mother brought it up during the family dinner. Charlie argues that it doesn’t affects her studies or her Ballet lesson but her mother argues that it’s still dangerous and Charlie could get herself badly hurt. The deciding point was when her father agrees with her mother and for the fact that Charlie should stop either way because they were moving to Korea after Charlie’s father accepted a job offer there. Charlie was devastated, mostly because she had to lose the friends she made through the years and she had to leave Robert, her main pillar of support.  Therefore, with a long and probably drag out goodbye, the Parkour jam went with for one last run and Robert giving her a matching star shape earring, one for her and one for him.

In Korea, despite enrolling into an international school, Charlie had time adjusting to the new culture and environment of Korea. Her grasp of the language was also so-so, relying more on her English even though, to her, half of the Korean population can’t speak it properly, much to her frustration and dismay. But to her eternal relief, Charlie met with Kang Yeon Soo, a slightly Americanised Korean girl that likes to make bad English puns. Charlie was almost in tears when she found out that there was someone that can actually understand her and that leads to both of them form an unconventional friendship with each other because of their somewhat clashing personality. Because Yeon Soo prefer talking and sometime venting out her complaints in English, Charlie is among the few that she would complained all she wants and the people around them won't know a thing about it. Yeon Soo also helped Charlie better her Korean skill because things progress faster if you have someone that could translate things on the spot 

After a year of living in Korea, the growing interest of group idols began to be a sensation to the younger generation and it also spark Charlie’s interest with the choreographed dances and up beat rhythm. Charlie had thought about performing on stage again (After quitting Ballet once she came to Korea because her parents want her to adjust first) and when Pledis launched a nationwide audition, with the support of her friends, somewhat reluctantly her mother and ever supportive father, Charlie went to her first audition. She failed though but Charlie wasn’t going to give up because the judges loved her dancing and it was just her song selection that doesn’t sit well with her voice range and so she tries again. After getting another round of encouragement from her family and friends, Charlie came for her second audition and she came back swinging. By 2011, Charlie was officially a Pledis trainee.
