**Appearance:**

Charlize is a slender young man of average height. He has lightly tanned skin, blue eyes, and dirty blond hair.  Because of his mother's trade, Charlize manages a clean and polished wardrobe capable of blending in highborn spaces.

**Personality:**

Prior to the events of the Curse, Charlize was a very cunning and seemingly self serving individual. He was willing to go to minor extremes to get what he needs to be comfortable. However, Charlize did have a set of morals and rules he would follow. He would not steal from those in similar situations or those who are kind. When it comes to personal relationships, Charlize presents himself as a very goofy but charming individual. He is snarky and sly, never missing an opportunity to make a jest.  Perhaps Charlize's most admirable trait is his ability to smile in the face of danger, having been through so many dangerous situations with the Guild.

**Background:**

Charlize is the son of a commoner and a lower ranked nobleman. Abandoned by his father, Charlize's mother was forced to raise him on her own. They had a hard time making ends meet.  By the age of 10, he began to resort to larceny in order to help his mother provide for them both. On one of his criminal escapades he meets an older crook who becomes somewhat of a father figure for him and other younger poor kids. Under his tutelage, he was able to grow into an effective thief, and performed many cons on unsuspecting victims. This hustle helps he and his mother get out of the piss poor situation they were in and allows her to start up her own shop.

**Story:**

Charlize first meets Dariel in the earlier parts of the latter's journey to save the kingdom.  He initially plans to con the naive prince, but soon finds that there is something special about him.  He decides to help Dariel for a price, bringing him to the guild to make a plan. After Dariel defeats the curse, Charlize starts working towards knighthood as a reward for helping, quickly making a name for himself among the nobles and commonfolk.

Months after the curse, the time comes for the Clash of Kings before he is able to complete his training. Despite still being a Knave, he petitions to represent Dariel. Bryton pits him against one of his fellow squires, a full fledged knight, and . He is able to overcome the first two, but he finds himself unable to withstand the brutality of Thalice. Though he ultimately fails the gauntlet, Charlize wish is granted as he joins Tierre in supporting Dariel at the competition. Eager to prove himself along and help Dariel, Charlize works extremely hard to ensure his victory.

After Dariel leaves to Mayue, Charlize continues to serve as a Knight of Erina eventually rising through the ranks to becoming a Captain. During this time, Charlize and Onna are forced to bond over the absence of Dariel and they eventually form a relationship.  When Erina receives word about the plan to invade Exandr

**Abilities:**

Charlize is a very swift person with sticky fingers. His experience in thievery has made him light on his feet and quick witted. He has a tongue of silver, being able to talk his way out fights all together when necessary. Still, Charlize proves to be very adept in the art of fighting using a Rapier. He is capable of performing multiple stabs in a minute, cutting his opponents through the sheer speed of his thrusts, and the enchantment allows him to even parry against swords heavier than his. He was trained in the Royal Sword Style normally only taught to those of noble families. With relentless practice, Charlize would become one Erina's greatest swordsmen.
