This Woman’s Tale Begins With:
Charlise Reid grew up in a household that was in a constant state of happiness. She had what everyone considered to be the perfect parents, the perfect sister and the perfect dog. They also had a cat and two bunnies between them. The only thing Charlise could see which didn’t fit this perfect portrait was her powers. At first, Charlise thought she could hide what she could do from her parents. She was so excited about the gift she has been given, though she didn’t know how or why she had come to acquire them. Charlise really loved that she had been given the chance to live a life different from what she had ever imagined, but when rumours began to spread the people with special abilities were being locked up, she figured that keeping it quiet was the only way she was going to remain outside of prison, but it didn’t work. The woman was found out by her mother and father who, against all of pleading, called the authorities. They yelled about how they had never felt so betrayed and how they could’ve lived 1000 years without knowing about her “disgusting” powers. She took in every hurtful word that the people she trusted most thrust in her direction and was put into a facility where they kept mutants. It was supposed to be specifically designed to withstand the powers of the people it was meant to keep in, but Charlise broke free. She was determined to find a safe place because as of that moment in her life, the woman was a fugitive. On the run and in constant fear, she happened to stumble upon Leviathan. It’s her sanctuary as much as it is the students and she has no plans to leave. Finding Leviathan only happened a few months after Charlise began running, and for this she is thankful. Years of her life could have been spent running and hiding if she had missed it. She was met with nothing but love from the staff, especially Celeste Owens. An understanding that she will be kept safe was made, but out of the goodness of her own heart and her willingness to make a difference, Charlise offered to help out around the school as much as she can.
Charlise has the power of self-detonation and reformation. She enjoys putting on a show for some of the newer kids and, despite her excellent control of her powers which leads her able to be detonated for as long as she needs, she still happens to explode when her emotions are heightened (like when she gets mad). She always quickly reforms afterwards and continues as if nothing has happened. The first time she ever managed to detonate, it frightened her as nothing else ever had, living her generally sheltered life. She had no clue what was happening as her body formed and she didn’t know how it happened or if she would ever be able to control it, though it wasn’t exactly at the forefront of her mind. Her other power, a newer one she has adapted since being in Leviathan is plant manipulation. She was a little confused at first because the three powers didn’t go together, but she figured that it didn’t matter and she had no choice on the matter. As she developed it, she started to spend more time outside teaching her pupils about plants and herbology. Using her powers was just a fun bonus she had. She enjoys being able to be in a sanctuary such as Leviathan and explore her powers without regret or terror filling every inch of her body. Being around the students and being around the teachers has helped Charlise to open up and accept herself as well as the people around her. She is still amazed everyday by what she sees and she knows that she can trust the people around her to keep her safe.
Charlise has had her fair share of self-loathing and doubting, especially after everything that she went through with her parents, but she has grown from the experiences with her family and her past has made her strong. Her relationship with her sister seems to her to be non-existent (similar to the relationship she has with both of the people who brought her into this world), but she does often wonder about her. There could be something there worth salvaging, as she isn’t even aware if her parents will have been honest with her, or if she even cares about the powers Charlise has been given. She has some powers which are rather unique and she enjoys teaching people all about what it’s like to have them and how to use their own powers. Sure, she was stuck with teaching English (which she never even found herself exceptionally good at) and being an inside and outside teacher when it came to nature ethics, but she enjoys it and she likes doing what she can to keep Leviathan running. Seeing the faces of students when a flower ‘accidentally’ sprouts up and whacks them in the face if they annoy her is her favourite thing to do. The woman just enjoys it here, she’s told the people who need to know about her past and has been promised a place that can keep her safe. This is her home now and if anything happens to it, she’s willing to defend it and the people around her. To make this closer to a reality if anything should happen, Charlise has taken up practicing on her own to get her powers in tip top shape and completely under her control. She is over hiding who she is, mutant and proud.
