+1 Lovely Assistant (and in some Arenas, +1 Largely Feral Darkness Avatar)

HI THERE GUYS! It's Vin again, Kevin/Rosalind-mun, bringing in a third character - and this time, one who is actually a GENUINELY PLEASANT PERSON. Meet Charlie, hailing from a little game called "Don't Starve" and repping for District 1 with a score of 7!

She's...a little obscure even within the scope of the game, so bear with me a moment as I explain her.

Charlie is the character who you will inevitably interact with in every game of Don't Starve, but that you may not realize you have met. She has only been explained and shown in an ARG that surrounded the game, and is only referenced by name by one character in-game.

In the game, as you are trying to survive, you need light by nightfall. Failure to have light means that an unseen creature in the dark tears at you. This invisible monster in the dark is what has become of Charlie - the faithful assistant to Maxwell, the magician who lords over the island. Here's the video of the accident that turned her:

You can see the accident for yourself right here.

There's a lot of headcanon involved with me playing Charlie, so what I'm going with is that on the island, she was herself during the day, and then the dark entity took her over at night. At the Games, she won't have that problem, so she's just going to be gleefully taking back her life (and missing Maxwell, but y'know, details). During certain Arenas where her powers are allowed, however, people will get to meet Grue!Charlie (yes, the developers call her a Grue) as soon as it gets dark.

As always, anyone and everyone is welcome to add me at [plurk.com profile] LadyVincira for plotting and general chatter. =D

Somewhat obscure if you've never played the game, yes. :3
