Background
Charlie came from a broken home. Her mother took off when she was just a child and left her with her single father and her older brother, JR. Without a mother to look out for her, Charlie was introduced to sex at a very young age, first by her brother and later by her father. As a result of this, she began to act out in the way of alcohol and drug abuse and sexually reckless behavior. Eventually she was taken away from her father and put into a state run foster facility. Her behavior landed her in counseling where she was diagnosed with hypersexuality and schizoaffective disorder (the latter a result of her unrealized gift). The decision was made to institutionalize her and she was essentially forgotten.

Charlie was sixteen when she was transferred to Cunningham Dax, a psychiatric facility that provided care for a wide range of patients with a variety of disorders. It was shortly after that that she came to be under the care of Dr. Riley Quinn. He was one of the very first people to ever really get through to her, in spite of her difficult and spiteful nature. Eventually, she even grew to trust him. In spite of how hard she tried to push him away and force him to give up on her, he continued to try to help her recover. Even when her older brother, JR, ended up at Dax, and Charlie began to really act out, Riley was there for her.

But her trust in the other man was severely damaged when, in a moment of desperation driven by the pain and confusion in his own life, Riley gave in to Charlie's sexual advances. It was a decision that would not only alter their relationship, but would also alter their lives. Shortly thereafter, Charlie found out she was pregnant. And though the baby could have belonged to any number of men, she knew it belonged to Riley. But because she was angry, and because JR, who had a strange hold over her, told her to, she told Riley she had aborted the child and he never knew any different until a few years later.

Charlie was in no position to take care of herself, much less a child, but JR had somehow managed to get the both of them released and they had been attempting to raise Mara together. Then one day, JR was gone, and Charlie was left alone. Eventually, social services was called because she wasn't able to keep it together on her own. They were going to take Mara away from her and put her back into a hospital. It was then that she came clean about who the father was, for Mara's sake, and Riley was contacted regarding the toddler. He took custody of her and Charlie was tossed back into an asylum yet again.

Though she expected nothing from him, especially after what she had done, Riley went to great measures to ensure that Charlie was well cared for. He even went as far as to take guardianship of her as she was deemed unable to care for herself. Because she wasn't well enough to be around Mara, she was placed into a private hospital which was much nicer than the state run facilities. It wasn't long before she was kicked out and had to be moved to another hospital. For more than two years, this continued. Finally, after numerous moves and a succession of failed suicide attempts, Riley had no choice but to take her home where she is presently staying under twenty-four hour care of private nurses.

Gifts Charlie is both precognitive and retrocognitive, so she can see things that haven't happened yet but she can also see things that happened in the past.
Weaknesses Charlie was considered a hopeless nutcase and institutionalized when she was young. No one realized that it was her gift that caused her to have so many problems and that the medications they gave her only made it worse. Because of this, she has had no training whatsoever in controlling her gift and she sometimes has a difficult time deciphering present day reality from something that has happened or is going to happen.
