Personality

Charis is shy, prefering to be alone with her needlepoint and books than a social gathering. She also tends to be rather 'dreamy', losing herself in books and stories. She is slow to trust, but fiercley loyal to those closest to her.

History

Charis is the daughter of a moderately wealthy innkeeper from Camelyn. Her father owns The Wagon Wheel Inn, her mother is the cook. Her family are proud supporters of the Queen, and the Royal family in general. She is the youngest, and only, daughter in a family of four children, with a gap of eight years between her nearest brother and herself.

Her rather boisterous brothers tend to tease her, making her very shy, someone who prefers to not draw attention to herself. She loves to read, and can often be found with her nose in a book, or at her needlepoint, another favorite past time. She has learned to cook from her mother, and is passable at the task. She had few friends in Camelyn, but she is loyal to them, and her family. She tends to avoid parties, or any formal social gathering, preferring smaller groups of her closest friends over large gatherings.

She loves animals, and cares for the cats at the Inn. She also feeds strays, and frequently takes in strays, cleans them up, and finds homes for them. She is close with one of the boys who works in the stables, Harad, who she taught to read when they were younger, and now shares a mutual love of books. Her brothers, and even her friends, tease her about Harad, and her mother has been seen frowning thoughtfully at the boy.

She has a bit of a stubborn streak, and once she sets her mind on achieving something, she sticks to it. She is hard-working, although she sometimes gets lost in a book and forgets to attend her chores. Her normal chores include laundry, cleaning the guest rooms, and assisting in the kitchen. She will sometimes serve the guests in the dining room if someone is ill or if they are busy, a task which she does well if reluctantly. Her closest brother, Bered, has joined the Gaidin in Tar Valon, a decision which pleased both her parents, who are proud to have a son serve the White Tower.

One day, when Charis was sixteen, an Aes Sedai stopped at the Inn, with a small group of girls she was accompanying back to Tar Valon to become novices, and seeking other girls who could be taught as well. Charis didn't think of submitting herself for testing, being too shy to approach the venerable Aes Sedai. Her brothers teased her out into the Common Room, and presented her to the Aes Sedai who administered the test. She discovered she could learn to channel, and the Aes Sedai offered to take her to Tar Valon as well.

Despite her mother's protest, she feared her daughter would not fare well under strict novice training, Charis decided to go to the White Tower, and mentally prepared herself for what she would face. Her mother and father, despite their misgivings, sent her off happily, proud that another child would serve the Tower. Determined to be Aes Sedai she begins the journey to Tar Valon.
