No Less Than Tolerance

Major thanks to the amazing Noxxy for helping me with the title, and the sweetheart known as Kessa for helping me with the final touches to Charlie's personality and biography. <3 you two!

Character

Name: Charlie Harrison (Pre-Transition)/ Charlotte Harrison (Post-transition/To his friends)
Charlie in front, Charlotte in back.
Age: 19
To many, Charlie/Charlotte’s way of life is considered immoral and disgusting. For every positive comment, she receives ten negative ones. The reason for this? She is trans-sexual, and as such, identifies as a woman. For years, he has battled with body image issues and suffered bouts of depression over how she is viewed and how she felt suppressed and limited to portray herself to the outside world, keeping her desires hidden below the surface, waiting for, needing the chance to be who she truly wants to be.
The chance came when she transferred to a new college in order to get a new lease on life where she could settle down happily. Starting to dress, act, and portray herself as a more feminine person around a select group of friends, she found the elusive joy and excitement that had always been absent in her life before now. However, after a while, she started to receive threats and abusive emails from an unknown source, and became much more reluctant to portray her new personality and reverted to acting more masculine again, keeping her “secret” under wraps to avoid further abuse from the other students or staff faculty. All she wants… needs is someone to accept her, no matter if it is a friend or family member.

I feel like she will fit into any college/high school role-play that people have a plot but need a partner for. However, I can also form a plot with my partner. Unfortunately, I do NOT have anything much plot wise at the moment, unless you deem the last few lines of her bio/personality as a plot bunny. I am NOT seeking mature plots, sorry.

Writing Sample

Charlotte stood by the vending machine, pondering for a moment, lost in thought. After a moment or so, she dug a few coins out of her pocket and pushed them into the machine, pressing a few buttons and letting her choice fall down, grabbing the water bottle after it landed. Smiling to herself, she unscrewed the cap and took a deep swig of the icy liquid, letting it run down her throat, soothing the dryness forming from the nerves she felt. Turning around, she made her way to her locker, grabbing a few books, ensuring her personal notebook was included in the pile, hoping she got the chance to spend a few moments collecting her thoughts or the chance to work on some creative writing.

"Who are you?" A voice spoke out, causing Charlotte to jump suddenly where she stood. Shutting the locker, she turned out, eyes meeting the taller girl's as she gazed upon her. "I'm talking to you, you need to answer me NOW!" She demanded, stomping her foot on the ground in a childish manner. Inwardly, Charlotte wanted to laugh at the other girl's actions, put in mind of a toddler having a tantrum. Instead, she kept the giggles buried, opting to give a friendly smile instead.

"My name is Charlotte. I'm new.. obviously. And your name is?" Charlotte offered a way to try and seem friendly, though to be left alone would have suited her just fine at that moment in time. Not that she was anti-social, she just wanted to get to lesson on time.

"I'm Felicity. Now, I'm going to offer you a choice. You can be who you are SUPPOSED to be, or keep up the act you have." The taller girl spoke in a dangerous tone, and the implications struck Charlotte like a runaway freight train, but she knew the best option was to remain calm at that moment in time.

"I don't have a clue what you mean. I'm not hiding anything from anybody. I am who I am, nothing more, nothing less." Charlotte felt her wall quaver under the imposing glare, and the next sentence sent chills through her spine.

"I know you are a boy. I have connections in other towns, and this town is small, my dear. Be careful, or this secret might get out." Felicity purred, smirking coldly at her.

"Oh, piss off you overgrown Barbie doll." Charlotte snapped, mentally kicking herself as the girl clicked her fingers, two of her "friends" appearing by her side, one making a motion to punch Charlotte, which the girl dodged, only to be hit in the gut by the other female, the two attackers flanking Felicity once more.

Bump.

The boy nodded and smiled at her, taking a small bite, suppressing the urge to wolf it down. Smiling at her, he chewed slowly and politely, wanting to savour the taste and texture of a good fresh fish. Moving across the ground, he sat next to the mermaid and smiled at her, a genuine, sweet and innocent little smile, full of joy at seeing a mermaid so close. Leaning into her, he watched her quietly, smiling at her. A yawn passed his lips as he shivered, still chilled to the bone. Whimpering as he tried to warm up, he flinched hearing voices.

"The freak hangs out down here! He'll be hiding from us, I bet." One deep voice boomed, the male's voice growing closer by the second. "He's gonna get it!" He smirked to himself, as Charlie hid his face in Kassy's body, scared and wanting to be safe.

Tragic Times (TheFlyingScotsman and Fabricant451)

Charlie nodded at her, looking around the area. His small hand rested on Sarah's bigger one, Smiling up, he returned his attention to the teddy in his lap. He'd never really been one to talk much at all, preferring to keep quiet around anybody. If he knew a person enough, he'd curl up in thier lap for cuddles and affection, and would spend a good hour or two sat, leaning into them, even sleeping against the person. His ultimate sign of trust was to let the person hold his teddy bear. If he did, it meant he did actually like them.

Gazing up, he saw his friend from school and her father a few yards away. Tugging on his sister's sleeve, he pointed to the girl and he father, actually starting to sign the girl's name. The male glanced up, seeing the boy in the chair, double taking and hurrying over with his daughter, worried. "Oh, Charlie.. What happened to him.. Miss.. Erm?" The tall, handsome man looked over to Sarah, as Charlie played with his friend's hand.

He looked up as he held his doll close, opening his tired eyes. Looking at her, he mummered a very quiet, unsure "Ch-Cha..Charlie." The boy's voice was soft and gentle, full of fear and apprehension, yet tinged with wonder and curiosity about the mermaid in his little cave. After a moment, he held the cloth doll to her, as is trying to make a bid for friendship and acceptance from the woman.

His thin form shivered under the damp clothes he wore, which clung, heavy with seawater and damp sand, seaweed in his hair. Swallowing, he made his way closer, extending a hand to her scaley tail. His hands shook, but were gentle as he touched a scale with curiosity. Pulling back, he blushed as his tummy growled loudly.

I'm Sorry You Were Hurt..

Bump.

Dangerous Worlds (1x1)

The blonde haired boy began coughing violently where he lay on the cold, rough rocks. After a moment, he vomited up water and sick, coughing and shaking limply. For a moment, he lay still, eyes closed and body limp. Letting out a small whimper, he opened his azure eyes, looking around. His eyes met hers, and he tried to move away from her, scared and alone.

His back pressed to the wall of the cave, he cowered against himself. In the corner of the cave he'd crawled to were old, tatty storybooks about mermaids and the sea, along with a few soft toys of a mermaid, dolphin and a lobster. It seemed he'd set himself up somewhere to hide and observe the sea and the like. Looking at her, with innocent, scared eyes, he hoped it'd be clear he was just curious about her and what she was. Shaking, he looked around trying to get free. Frightened and alone, he grabbed the plush mermaid, curling into a ball with it, crying hard from fear, and, judging by his grumbling belly, hunger.
