the story of a virgin homemaker: sometimes the hardest power to master is yielding.
hestia: virgin goddess of the hearth, home and chastity
breadwinner of the family. she takes care of three younger siblings, and her rogue brother dex, yet still manages to make her 6 o’clock cooking classes on time.
your classic beauty lost metaphorically behind thick ugly glasses
charley considers herself a ‘plain jane’
she swears there’s nothing special about her
not her sweetly plum lips
BUT REALY: she’s a mess when it comes to putting on makeup or fixing her hair or keeping up with fashion…
which is weird because she has friends who are fashion snobs and yet somehow charley doesn’t get it?¿?
her favorite clothing are blazers ~ she’s almost always wearing one
ofc when she does actually try, Dex is bombarded with ‘look at your sexy seestar - IS THIS REAL OR IS IT FANTASY? we just don’t know cause it’s charley’ comments
aka she’s been a tomboyish since day 1
speaking of DEX he’s her soul brother and even tho he’s rogue he’s still her favorite
tho it’s getting harder to track him down & bring him food
thanks to charley’s strong domestic instincts to make sure each member of her family is fed until the day she dies
'THANKS DEX for awkward moments with your bros' - charley always yells, even if Dex isn't around to hear
cause you better believe she’s encountered some weird awkward shit with those five
85% of charley’s interaction time with others is spent [rolling] her eyes
it’s her only form of confrontation
she’s not a huge talker and therefore, will not keep a conversation going but that doesn’t mean she’s socially awkward
actually, she quite sweet and tends to be a very good listener
charley has only had two serious boyfriends. both ended eventually because she didn’t want to weave from her vow of celibacy
her first boyfriend was during her high school years and for a while, they worked really good. that was until charley caught him cheating. she didn’t care much because she hadn’t been in love with him
but as for her second boyfriend (any takers?), charley had fallen deeply in love with. they’d started dating right after she’d turned 22 and she’d fallen for him like a match on fire. as they’d gotten closer, abstinence from sex had gotten hard. and while, commitment was easy for charley, it wasn’t for the bf. so when the break-up finally came, the aftermath had been a lot more painful than her first relationship
the truth is: charley loves her family and very much loves the family dynamic
even tho some days, being the breadwinner of the abrams family is hard and wears a heavy toll on her shoulders, charley wouldn’t choose to live without it
her aspirations start from wanting to learn something new each month and becoming a professional chef
she loves cooking and coming up with new recipes whenever she gets the chance
charley will never complain to anyone about her life - but rather, raise it up as if it’s even more valuable to her than gold
