Name:  Charlene "Charlie" Bourdain   

Age:  28

Position:  Mechanic

Physical Description:  Charlie stands around five-and-a-half, with dark brown hair and eyes to match.  It's hard to make out whether her frame has curves or not, as she keeps herself generally wrapped in layers covered in bits of grease or anything else.  She doesn't seem to be hiding her frame or meek, but in the depths of space on the ship, doesn't feel the need to dress sleek when she's spending more time working on an engine than anything.

History:  Charlie was raised on Whitefall in a big family of settlers, within a big family of her own.  She has three older brothers, two younger sisters and a younger brother.  The community as a whole was the type that looked out for one another, and anywhere you could help, that was where you were needed.  Two of her older brothers decided early on that they didn't want to become farmers and began learning to become engineers; Charlie, having them as her role models, followed along.

Years later, as the war began brewing, things on Whitefall slowly were becoming more and more hostile.  New faces were showing up everyday, settlers trying to move further from the core and the Alliance's control, even people who were avoided being recruited by either side.  Ships were literally landing every day, coming down to the surface and spreading out crews.  When it looked like the fighting was going to reach their small backwater planet, Charlie took her initiative to find a crew and join on, and to not be dragged into a war that she didn't want to fight for.  So she found herself aboard Destiny.

Charlie traveled with Kale and his crew for years.  Destiny had become her home.  She'd even met Rhaef while on board, an unlikely man for her to fall in love with but fall in love she did.  When Destiny was finally parked for the last time and its crew said their goodbyes and parted ways her and Rhaef finally decided to make a real go of it.  But despite how much Charlie loved him she realized that they were never going to be happy together.  Danger followed Rhaef wherever he went and that hard edge never did melt.  One night she slipped away, leaving him and tear stained note and disappeared.  She had thought of contacting Kale but couldn't stand the thought of admitting to him what she'd done.  So she called Connor and he offered her a spot aboard Moirai and possibly a new place to call home.
