Appearance:
Charity has been described as both beautiful and plain by many people, some say her long red locks that fall in waves down her back makes her very attractive others say that her pale ivory skin and dark blue eyes make her seem rather plain. There is nothing very unusual about her looks, but she likes to think that her determination of influence people with her views on muggles makes her stand out, whether in a good light or bad light. She deems herself lucky in her looks, she doesn’t have to worry much about her weight as she has inherited her mother’s tall slim figure, she reaches about 5ft 7 and is willowy rather than curvy.
She dressed in the latest muggle fashions the majority of the time in a bid to support her subject, she is particularly fond of long trousers and skirts, as well as smart cut shirts. She will wear wizard clothes if visiting any one of high importance at the ministry or during an event of importance at Hogwarts.

Personality:
Charity values her job greatly and enjoys teaching, she wishes she could get more students interested in her subject though. She is very independent and puts her career first, she voices her opinions about muggles often and does her best to encourage the students to be open about muggles. She dislikes the purebloods who believe they are the elite race of wizard and believes strongly in equal rights.
Although Charity is a very strong woman, and stubborn with her opinions she does her best to listen to other peoples thoughts, even if it does result in her getting into a heated debate with them. She tries not to be argumentative but sometimes she can’t help herself. She isn’t a cruel person, you couldn’t call her mean as she is keen on democracy and against dictatorship.
Charity is very aware of the people around her and is constantly making sure everyone is happy, she tends to put other peoples feelings first other than her own. She knows she needs to start thinking about settling down and would love her own family one day but she cant think about it while her career is so important to her.

Overall history:
Charity was born in Oxfordshire, and brought up in the countryside, her father was a muggle her mother a witch. She loved her childhood and spent much of her time playing muggle games outside with her father and learning about the wizarding world with her mother. She attended muggle school up until the age of eleven when she started preparing for Hogwarts. Charity was interested from the start about the divide between the muggle and Wizarding world, she was already making her own theory’s on the two worlds from a very young age and believed strongly that Muggles were not that different from wizards.
It was difficult attending muggle school as she didn’t know how to control her powers, and on one occasion accidently made the classroom widows explode when her teacher was telling her off for something that was not her fault. She was very excited when she received her letter for Hogwarts and couldn’t wait for the day she could leave to explore the wizarding world. Her father brought her an owl as a leaving gift so they could stay in contact.
Charity excelled in potions and care of magical creatures, and took muggle studies as soon as she was able to. She graduated from Hogwarts with high marks in muggle studies. She worked within the ministry for two years trying to teach wizards about the muggle world, as well as writing many articles for the Daily Prophet about Muggles. She was extremely ambitious and took no interest in any of the young male wizards that tried to date her. Soon they stopped calling and Charity began to realise that maybe she had made a mistake by refusing them.
A year later she received an owl from her mother delivering the bad news that her father has passed away, Charity was heartbroken, her father had taught her all she knew about the muggle world and she was extremely close to him. Not long after her mother followed passing away. It was shortly after this event that she received a letter from Dumbledore asking that she take up the post of Muggle Studies Professor at Hogwarts which she accepted readily.
