== Personality & Brief Biography ==
Homeschooled by her grandfather until she turned 14 when her great-aunt enrolled her in high school. The administration often cited her for behavioural problems, and she received at least 94% in all her classes and an outstanding achievement in physical education. 
Chuck is self-sufficient and doesn't 'get' being social for the sake of being social; she comes across as either very professional or somewhat prickly. 
A combat pragmatist, Chuck occasionally resorts to using her long braid to choke sparring opponents, dropping them into it with a kick to the knee (before letting them safely go).

* Plush drop bear (a gift from the Jones brothers)
* Yarn
* A few colouring books in a variety of complexities, including one of "Sunshiney Raibow Friends" (level three of five) dedicated to her
* A picture book of "Sunshiney Rainbow Friends and the Kingdom of Gineer"
* Thick coloured pencils (set of thirty two)
* Variety of pencil grips
