== Characteristics ==
=== Personality & Traits ===
How are they like? Character Strengths? Weaknesses?
=== Physical Appearance ===
Charity is a female teenager with orangish-brown hair, with orangish, and reddish-colored streaks, very pale, light blue eyes, often appearing to be almost white, with a lightly tanned skin tone. She has been told she inherited her mother's looks, getting her orange hair, but mixed with her father's reddish-brown colors. Her eyes are a different story, there is no knowledge of anyone, on either side, having blue eyes, or a pale, almost blue-white. Her parents believe it's due to the genetic mutation she was born with. 
Her hair is waist-length, but she keeps it tied in a long braid. She also wears a pale pink bow-like headband, which helps keep her hair out, especially when she is in the kitchen. Charity has been told she could cut her hair, but for unknown reasons, she doesn't. 
Due to her blindness, Charity avoids crazy clothing, keeping with simple outfits. Her older sister, Charlotte, helps pick her outfits for the week, so Charity knows she isn't going to class looking weird. 
=== Hobbies & Interests ===
==== Baking ====
Since she was a small child, Charity has loved baking. She enjoyed going in with her mother to her work and helping her out. Even with her limited vision, she made do and soon was figuring things out by either sound, smell, or by vibration.
==== Video Posting ====
More as a side hobby, Charity has been posting videos of her baking since she was about thirteen. Her father helps her with the video editing, given she can't see it. Her videos give her the confidence that she can bake, even if she can't fully see.
Her videos are posted under @CharityBakes. Any profits she does receive, are donated to charities that work with the blind.
==== Modeling ====
Not exactly a hobby or interest, but Charity has done it. She's helped Charlotte model her new designs and see if they are good for the disabled. While she won't openly admit it, Charity does enjoy modeling for her sister.
=== Powers & Abilities ===
==== Skillset ====
* Baking: For the longest time, Charity has always been interested in baking. Maybe it was thanks to her mother being a professional pastry chef, or it was all on her own. Charity wants to be a baker in her own right, not because of who her mother is. She hopes to one day open her own bakery where she can bake what she wants.
* Social Media: Since she's posted her videos, Charity has learned a bit about social media. She doesn't let the negatives impact her, instead looking towards the good.

==== Childhood & Preadolescence ====
Charity is the youngest of Ellis and Raymond Graham's children. A few months after her birth, she was diagnosed with a genetic mutation that left her partially blind. When she had to see better doctors, her parents made the hard decision to move closer to London in order to give Charity the best care. Her siblings didn’t bat an eye and were ok with the change.
When she was eleven, Charity was gifted a bonded pair of Labrador Retrievers, Black and Silver were their names, before she renamed Hades and Persephone. Two years later, Persephone was trained to become Charity's service dog to allow her some more freedom and independence. Around that same time, Charity made the choice to start posting videos of her bakes, ones she created herself. Wanting to help her go towards her dream, Raymond, helped her along the way, even learning how to edit videos for her.
Two months before her sixteenth birthday, Charity and her family got the surprise of the Fairytale Authorities coming to their home and revealing that she would be the next Baker's Daughter from The Baker's Daughter fairy tale.
=== Attending Ever After High ===
For undisclosed reasons, Charity did not attend Ever After High during Freedom Year. The reasons are still unknown, but the Graham family don't worry too much about it.

== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
==== Ellis and Raymond Graham ====
Charity is the youngest of Ellis and Raymond's children, and the one they hadn't quite expected. Like during the pregnancy with Kian, they took it in with stride. They were very surprised to learn about Charity's blindness but did what they could. When it became apparent that there were better doctors in London, they made the decision to move from Manchester to London, to make sure their daughter got the best care.
==== Siblings ====
Charity is the youngest of the Graham siblings. Her older siblings are Kian and Charlotte.
===== Kian Graham =====
Kian is Charity's eldest sibling, and only brother by 16 years. He had been a surprise to their parents, still early in their relationship. Though, Ellis and Raymond made do, and still allow Ellis to attend culinary school. 
Charity and Kian have quite a normal brother-sister relationship. He is protective of Charity, more so because of limited sight, he always worries about her, even now when he has his own family. 
===== Charlotte Graham =====
==== In-Laws ====
Charity has a good relationship with her siblings' partners, Kyanne Nightfall and Ridge Quicksilver, her brother and sister's partners, as family. While they technically aren't legally married to her siblings, Charity still sees them as family. With both having estranged relationship with their own parents, Ellis and Raymond easily welcomed them into their family, not even caring that they were Fairies either.
Charity looks up to both Kyanne, or Anne, as she calls her, and Ridge as more siblings. And the only siblings that don't tease her like Kian and Charlotte do. And the only siblings that don't treat her like she's a fragile little girl. They treat her normally, only helping when they can see she is struggling.
==== Nieces & Nephews ====
Charity has one niece and one nephew, her brother's children: daughter, Lazuli, son, Kaiden. She loves her niece and nephew dearly but is often left worrying. Due to her limited sight, Charity often is afraid she might lose them should be asked to watch them.
=== Friends ===
==== AJ Charming ====
On her first day of classes (Cooking Class-ic), AJ was the first-person Charity met. He was also the first one to not treat her as a helpless person, just because she has Persephone next to her.
They quickly became friends, even after AJ learned about Charity's disability, it didn't deter him. They continue to meet up and talk about recipes they've developed or even give each other pointers.
==== Vesper Divitiae ====
Charity met the future God of the Underworld when her other dog, Hades, had run off. She had Persephone with her, and thus couldn't immediately run off. She ended up running into Vesper, who later helped her find her missing Labrador. 
She found it quite astounding that her new friend knew the real Hades. It also terrified her, in case the real Hades found it annoying that her dog was named after him. To her relief, Vesper said that Hades' was fine with it. He found it endearing.
=== Pets ===
==== Hades & Persephone ====
Hades and Persephone are Charity's Black and Silver Labrador Retrievers, respectively. Persephone is also Charity's Service Dog, helping her find her way around places. 
Charity got Hades and Persephone when they were about a year old; they were a bonded pair and wouldn't be split up. At the time, their names were "Black" and "Silver", but Charity renamed to Hades and Persephone, as their colors reminded her of the Ancient Myths of the God of the Underworld and his Bride. 
=== Romance ===
Charity identifies as demiromantic. Due to her blindness, she finds it hard to believe that someone will like her for her. She had a bad experience a couple years back and hasn't tried in the love department since.
=== Enemies ===
==== Benjamin Baxter ====
Benjamin is someone Charity hates with passion. As the one meant to be the next greedy Baker, they have never gotten along. He doesn't believe that Charity can take her role, and calls her blindness a weakness and much more. The only good thing is that Benjamin does not attend Ever After High, having graduated the previous year. But he is stuck living in the Village while waiting for the next people so his story can be finished.
==== Milton Grimm ====
Not exactly a true enemy, but Charity greatly dislikes her Headmaster. When she first arrived, they got into an argument about her needing a roommate. Charity ended up having to call both Kian and Kyanne, who worked with the Disability Act and Fairytale Authorities to prove she needed a single room. With their help, Charity was finally able to get her own room.

== Trivia ==
* Charity is Scottish-French, but was born and raised in England, giving her an English nationality.
** In real-world names, Charity was born in Manchester but grew up in the Kings Cross District of London, England, for easier access to the hospitals.
** Having parents in two different cultures, Charity, and her siblings, learned their father's native language, French. As a result, Charity calls Ellis "Maman" and Raymond "Papa".
*** She also will sometimes calls Ellis and Raymond "Mère" and "Père", it all depends how she feels.
* Charity was born partially blind, which was later discovered to be a genetic mutation. 
** Though partially blind, Charity usually just says she is blind for the sake of it. It's also easier to explain, when she can see some things.
* At the age of 13, her dog Persephone underwent training to officially become her service dog. 
** For years, her two dogs, Hades and Persephone always followed her around, most likely making sure she was alright. While Hades has the potential to be trained, Persephone was the more patient of the two so her becoming Charity's Service Dog made more sense.
