Charlie is Kate's best friend and roommate in the KateModern series. They share a flat in East London, where Charlie works for a P.R. Company. Kate believes she is a bit mad, but she excuses this because Charlie introduced her to Vegemite.

Charlie grew up in the suburbs in Melbourne, Australia. While she was there, she dated a few guys whom she calls "boring mincers." Since moving to London, she has let her hair down a bit, and enjoys partying and dancing. Her favorite foods are tomato sauce and sangas. She has a sister named Rose and a niece named Kim. Charlie wants to have a daughter someday.

From the beginning, Charlie has looked out for Kate, trying to keep her away from guys like "Creepy Steve." When Gavin contacted her with information regarding Kate's saftey, she rushed down to his office. However, the two of them ended up getting locked in the building, and had to rely on fans to help save Kate.

While trapped in the office, Charlie slept with Gavin for a bit, thought she may've been pregnant. Luckily, though, she discovered that it was- as the video was titled- a 'false alarm'.

Charlie and her friends then went to see the movie "Disturbia," and she quickly became obsessed with the starring actor, Shia LaBeouf. She went to the Regency Grand Hotel, in an attempt to meet up with him, but was stopped by Gavin, who instead asked her to be his girlfriend. She accepted, and the two are currently in a relationship.

Later, Kate was contacted by her blood specialist, who had faked his death. He asked Kate to meet him in the woods, and Charlie came along to help protect her friend. She quickly became scared for her life and asked that if she didn't return, her niece Kim would be told how much she was loved. Luckily, both girls got home safely.

Kate was soon invited to feature her art at a prestigious gallery, where she and Charlie witnessed a shooting. Afterwards, Charlie convinced Kate to take a short vacation to Devon. On returning to London, Kate assaulted Charlie and disappeared after a meeting with Michelle Clore.

Despite this inexplicable behavior, Charlie attempted to get help from Kate's friends to find her, but was met with much resistance. Along the way, she learned that Michelle Clore was an Elder in the Hymn of One, but was reassured when Dr. William Griffin told her that there was still time to save Kate before she could be "Ceremonied." This fact was later verified by Steve.

Shortly after Steve realized this connection, the same van that Kate got into with Michelle Clore began following him. He called Charlie and Tariq and asked them to come see, but things quickly got violent with the Watcher who had been driving the van. In order to save his friends, Tariq hopped in the newly-vacated van and ran over the Watcher. He, Charlie, and Steve then took off in the van, in which they ended up finding a laptop that potentially contained information about Kate's whereabouts.

The trio camped out in the woods, examining the materials left in the van, hoping to find any information about Kate. After days of no success, Charlie called Dudley to ask him for his help. However, that ended badly after Dudley pulled a gun, which resulted in the group fleeing from the van. However, one good thing came of it; Charlie received a text message from Kate.

Charlie went home, and along with Gavin, met up with Kate, who informed Charlie that she did not want to be found. This angered Charlie, who had just spent a week living in a van searching for her friend. She stormed off, but later realized that Kate was still brainwashed by Michelle Clore and vowed to continue trying to help her friend.

Charlie's spirits were lifted when she received a message from Spencer Gilman in Los Angeles about a serum she could use to make Kate trait negative. Charlie recieved the serum, but was attacked by Dudley, who wanted to get ahold of it. Kate mysteriously reappeared in time to save Charlie from Dudley, but ended up pushing him out the window in the process. Kate became distraught and begged Dr. William Griffin to leave Charlie and her alone.

Thinking she was putting an end to the craziness in her friend's life, Charlie injected Kate with the trait negative serum. However, Kate began to cry, apologized, and ran off, leaving Charlie bewildered.

When Charlie tried to look for Dudley, he has been taken away mysteriously by a black van; she has reported on the same video that Kate has killed Dudley because he tried to attack her.

Since then, Charlie seems to have stopped looking for Kate; even `though she has seen her video "abstract heart", which has caused a lot of speculation by other bebo-users about a hidden agenda with Kate still being in London and crying for help, Charlie cared for other things. This becomes understandable because she had growing problems on her job because her collegues started with mobbing her when they saw her videos on bebo and her boss noticed she was vblogging a lot in her job, which almost made her loose it. Furthermore, Kate left her without having paid the rent for the month, which caused the eviction of Charlie.

In that situation, Gavin has proven very helpful; he has moved in with her in order to share the rent so that Charlie didn`t have to worry about that problem any more. And Charlie herself was able to solve the job-problem with helping to do a great campagne for Pantene.

Gavin and Charlie`s relationship didn`t stay that well, `though; after Gavin has lost the software of his enterprise to Lee, which ended up in a treasure hunt for it which was won by a watcher of the Hymn of One, she has sent him off because Gavin got mental because of the loss of his software to sleep in his own room.

Meanwhile, a reporter called Patricia has tried to contact Charlie in order to do a documentary about the Hymn of One and Dr. Griffin`s faked death, and maybe, Dudley`s real death. At first, Charlie refused to work together with her and even tried to mock her, but now, it seems that she wants to work together with her, provided the reporter lets her know everything that will be shown on the documentary beforehand. And Charlie and Julia, Tariq`s girlfriend, have developed a very positive relationship during the treasure hunt for the software.(entry done by New voice of reason)


Tara Rushton's Views

Tara Rushton said:

I play the character Charlie aka: Chazontoast who is an Australian art student living in London. Charlie isn’t just a ‘token’ Ozzie who busts out a couple of lines about ‘throwing shrimps onto the Barbie,’ she is a little crazy, outgoing, outspoken, and just 'out'.. As in generally out of the house party girl who is immersing herself in as much London culture as she possibly can. Charlie also has a deeper motherly side to her, which simmers underneath all of the loud behaviour, which makes her an incredibly interesting character to play. Charlie is the type of friend that would be a hoot to spend time with – the one making all of the wisecracks, dancing the craziest, pulling the most outrageous facial expression and talking the loudest even if she is having a conversation with someone sitting right next to her – when I read my script I often find myself laughing out aloud at her shenanigans. I guess that everyone can relate to aspects of Charlies personality in one way or another. She had strengths that we all wish to possess at times and weaknesses that I have definitely felt at times. I love the fact that there is an Australian character in KateModern – even though I’m not from Melbourne originally I can definitely relate to my character’s experience of being a foreigner living in London.
