Charles

Charles, Layla's butler, appeared in every chapter of Total Drama Tokyo, as well as multiple chapters in Total Drama: Superstar Showdown.
==Biography==
Charles was born in Britain in the 1940s. From the start, he was a rather esteemed individual - some would even call him a renaissance man. After graduating from university, Charles dabbled in bodybuilding, but later realized he wasn't getting enough out of his life, so he moved to California, bought a motorcycle, and became a world-renowned heartbreaker. He had multiple children with multiple women, now scattered all over the world. As he aged, he once again became dissatisfied with the way his life was going and moved back to Britain. He decided to live a quiet life, although he managed to preserve his toned body by working out and motorcycling. One day, at a nearby software convention, he met an incredibly wealthy American software magnate named Mr. Richard Knee. He and Mr. Knee became fast friends, bonding over their mutual love of beef wellington, and Mr. Knee offered him a job as a butler at his estate. Seeking more adventure, Charles moved to the Knee mansion in America. However, Mr. Knee had neglected to tell Charles that he would specifically be butlering for the Knee family's bratty daughter, Layla. Since he was offered a hefty salary, he kept the job. From the start, Layla was nothing but rude to Charles, but due to his kind and passive personality, he did everything Layla told - from the mundane to the insane - just to please her. His relationship with Layla quickly devolved to the point of toxicity, but Charles was too scared to ever defy her, let alone quit. 
One day, after working for Layla for over a decade, she told Charles he'd be accompanying her on a trip to Japan...

==After Total Drama Tokyo==
After Layla gave Charles her million-dollar prize, he instantly left the Total Drama premises and bought a small apartment in Japan as well as a new, flashy motorcycle. Desperate to relive his glory days, Charles resurrected his career as a world-class motorcyclist and heartbreaker, traveling the globe on his motorcycle and meeting countless new women. He also got loads of positive press attention from his TV appearances on Total Drama, where he was one of the most beloved cast members, and made cameo appearances all over the media which gave him even more money. Eventually, he settled back down in Britain and bought a mansion for him and his ailing mother, Marge, but continued to race his motorcycle on the side. Despite his happiness at being freed from Layla's clutches, however, he continues to worry about her current state.

==Trivia==
*Charles was originally inspired by a character of the same name from a series of skits my friends and I created at summer camp when I was in middle school. He was essentially the same, being a hapless, overly-friendly doormat of a butler, but he served a senile old woman named Mrs. Bouvier instead of a teen girl like Layla. 
*Charles's character image was modeled after an "old man" design from the canon Total Drama series, specifically used for the guards in "I See London..." and the butler in Total Drama All-Stars.
*Charles is one of my all-time favorite characters to write for, despite not even being a contestant. I've always loved how different he is from everyone else in the series and how his meek, gentle nature contrasts with Layla's tyranny.
