Charlie

Charlie has always been know as the optimistic soul guider who accompanied Castor and Sycthe on their mission to stop the war. With his trusty lamp and unsual sense of director and general curiosity there is nothing he can't do. but before he became a soul guider Charlie was a much different person.

Charlie was born on the 7th of march some year during in the war, He was apart of a generation of children called the 'stray generation' Kids who's parents had died due to war who didn't have anywhere else to go. To try and secure the children a home, some were adopted and raised by familys willing to take them in as their own. But Charlie didn't get that treatment and instead he was raised by the streets of Weakwood pickpocketing anyone who looked rich enough to afford it. Of course he didn't love stealing from people (which is why he only stole from the rich) but in the end the games the game and for Charlie's sake sometimes you have to cheat.

His reputation for being a master thef, spread across the village and by the time he was 14 the boy was banned from almost every shop, stand and venue in Weakwood. But Charlie didn't care, he actually took pride in someone appricating his talents and would always find a way to steal from then later regardless.

But aside that, Charlie actually planned on leaving Weakwood as soon as he turned 15 when he was old enough to get a job. He knew he would never have luck in Springfox (his reputation meant he was hated by almost everyone) And although being a mastermind thief extremely fun he didn't want to be one forever, it just wasen't his calling. What he really wanted to be a doctor, healing wounds, Cure illnesses, helping people, charlie always knew it was a longshot considering he didn't have a education (the boy couldn't even read!) but it was his dream and one which he would do anything to accomplish.

One day whilist roaming through the streets looking for his next steal, He spotted a women looking over at one of the food stands in the market. She had long and wavy pink hair, along side smooth brown skin. but Charlie wasn't focusing on that, he was more focused on the outline of a wallet in the women's pocket.

Jackpot!

so the boy attempted to steal from her, but the figure seemed to process some type of fantastical area surronding sense. and turned around just as the boy had gotten his hands on the wallet. Not expecting this charlie bolted running through the alleyways the pink haired women on his heels. Charlie had expected to outrun and loose her in the streets, but the women kept up with him, and after 15 minutes of running charlie knew he had to loose her before he passed out from lack of food and sleep. Attempting to get away the boy decided to try and run into the forest and loose her in the trees, after a awhile he final through he had lost her but he didn't account for extremely slippery rocks, which he accidently slipped on and banged his head making the boy pass out whilsit floating in a river.

Eventually the boy came to and suprising he found himself in the arms of the figure he stole from. He freaked out and immetatly tryed to run away, but the figure stopped him and said that she wouldn't hurt him and was trying to heal his head. Charlie was confused and asked why she would help him after he just stole from her, but the figure just laughed and said 'it was her job' which made Charlie even more confused.

The figure asked charlie of his name and the boy replied in his usally charm which he puts on for a ladies, she smiled and introduced herself as blossom and shook the smallers hand. The boy asked what she was doing here in weakwood (considering he didn't recongise her) blossom laughed saying that she was here to teacher her student ciridan healing techniques. Charlie seeing the opportunities immediantly asked if blossom could teach him her ways. At first the women denied, stating that it would be much too dangerous for charlie to learn but the boy was persistent and eventually blossom came to a compromise.

"Alright I will give you two weeks to learn the basics if you accomplish that then I will consider teaching you, but be warned my ways are alot more 'different' then normal means of healing "

"Lady I don't care if you teach me upside down, Im in"

So every 4 days a week, Charlie would meet blossom near the stream in the woods to learn. At first blossom took him the basics but eventually the leasons started getting more complex, and along the way the two got to know each other really well and eventually the two learned to appricate eachothers company.

One afternoon after they had finished the lesson for the day, Blossom saw that a storm was rolling in and asked if charlie had a safe place to stay for the night. The boy was pretty silent about his background especially his parents, but Charlie at this point felt like he could trust the older and told blossom everything. Honestly blossom wasn't suprised she had guessed long ago that the boy had no home, and she was saddened to know her suspicions were true. She asked if the boy wanted to stay at her place tonight, Charlie was suprised but eagerly said yes and so blossom lead him to her house, just on the edge of town.

The place was in any commoner eyes was a nice but pretty average home, but to charlie he felt like he was stepping into a manshion as he enetered. Awing at the carpets and how warn it was when he stepped inside, (also bewildered at the various arry of house plants around the rooms)
