## Professional Status

### Occupation(s)

Fashion Designer/Seamstress

**Charity Ilula** is a fashion designer and seamstress, as well as being the owner of her own Boutique.

## Personality

Charity has a love for beauty and anything beautiful. She also accentuates the value of inner beauty.

Her vocabulary is formal, and she is prone to use complex words and more sophisticated, refined phrasing than her friends. As a fashionista, she often uses French-based terms in her vernacular. She speaks with a cultivated trans-Atlantic dialect, and shares some mannerisms with similarly accented Hollywood actresses, such as Katharine Hepburn.

While Charity cares about her appearance quite a bit, being averse to stepping in mud or risking getting herself messy, she is not above getting her feet dirty when it comes to helping her friends or creatures in need.

Charity has a lot of generosity, as she is willing to not only make five unique dresses for her friends for a Ball but additionally re-work and redesign them as her friends desire. The overworking runs Charity ragged and, despite her friends' designs being horrible fashion-wise, she continues making them in order to satisfy her friends. At the end, her friends realize that her original dresses were beautiful and perfectly matched for each of them, and that they should not have taken advantage of Charity's generosity.

Charity works as a fashion designer, and her work is very important to her. Charity has a lot of work ethic and dedication to her customers. She initially sews dresses of her own design for her friends, but when they're not satisfied with the result, she sews them brand new dresses under their direction.

Charity stresses herself into making a new set of dresses the way her friends want them, going as far as following all their instructions instead of her own instincts. She is unhappy with the results, even though her friends are very satisfied. When these dresses are devastatingly criticized by "the bigwig fashion hotshot", she locks herself in her room, lamenting her ruined career; luckily for her, her friends are able to convince the fashion critic to hold another fashion show, this time with the original dresses.

Charity wears a pair of reading glasses while sewing. She says that she talks to herself while she sews, which apparently helps her think. She also has a bit of a fascination with royalty.

## Powers and Abilities

**Magic**: Charity often performs magic. While it may not be up to the standards of mages, she uses it in connection with making things "fabulous", like gem-finding, dressmaking, and topiary art.

* **Telekinesis**: She uses sewing and cutting tools through telekinesis with the precision needed to make her dresses, manipulating multiple items at once.

**Martial Arts**: Despite Charity's delicate nature and formal personality, she shows a propensity for brute force.

**Musical Ability**: Charity has shown the ability to sing, and she can play the guitar. She can also play the grand piano, calling it the most refined and elegant of instruments. She is more adept at playing a keytar, though.

## Trivia

* The name Charity means "giving, kindness", which is a reference to her never-ending generosity. Ilula is an Estonian surname derived from "ilu" meaning "beauty" and "loveliness".
