context_section_description: Charlene "Charlie" Andrews, portrayed by Jayma Mays (with K Callan playing an elderly Charlie in one episode), is a waitress at the Burnt Toast Diner in Midland, Texas, where Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi stop to eat on their road trip to New York. After she reveals to Hiro that she had recently developed the ability to quickly memorize and recall any information with great accuracy in a seemingly unlimited volume, Sylar murders her in the diner's storeroom, removing her brain in the same manner as his other victims. Charlie and Hiro's relationship is the subject of the novel Heroes: Saving Charlie. During Six Months Ago, after accidentally traveling back in time six months while trying to save her life, Hiro steadily falls in love with her and she with him and she teaches him English. However, Charlie has a blood clot in her brain that will eventually turn into an aneurysm and kill her making her death inevitable no matter what Hiro does. He is unwillingly returned to his own time, depressed over his inability to save Charlie which affects his powers for the rest of the season. In season 4, after learning that he is dying, Hiro becomes determined once more to save Charlie, referring to her as his true love and seeing his failure to save her as his biggest mistake. In Once Upon a Time In Texas, Hiro returns to the day of Charlie's murder to attempt to save her despite Samuel Sullivan warning against him messing with time as that day and time is a confluence of important events. Hiro is able to stop Sylar and send his past self back six months to ensure their relationship. However, after the two are reunited, Charlie's blood clot starts to develop into an aneurysm and she comes close to dying. Desperate, Hiro enlists Sylar's help to save her in exchange for information on his personal future. Sylar removes Charlie's blood clot through her left eye, saving her life, but Charlie is horrified by what Hiro tells Sylar of his future and that he'd save her instead of all those other people Sylar killed. Charlie storms out, but eventually returns to Hiro. She is then kidnapped by Arnold on the orders of Samuel Sullivan and displaced in time to force Hiro to cooperate. In "Brave New World", Hiro is finally reunited with Charlie, now an old woman who is dying of old age. She reveals the location and date she was transported to, but refuses Hiro's offer to go back in time and retrieve her as she has lived a wonderful life. Accepting this, Hiro says a final goodbye to Charlie and teleports away with Ando to stop Samuel.
