[edit] Background

Charlie (her full first name is Charlotte), is a arts and crafts designer from Tucson, Arizona who is very enthusiastic and wears outfits that reflect the southwestern culture of Arizona. She is also the on-again/off-again girl friend of Henry, the accountant at Meade Publications, who by the way is also the object of affection from Betty Suarez, who happens to work in the same building.

When Charlie shows up in New York City, it would prompt a shocking surprise from Henry; it appears that during the holidays he went back to Arizona in the hopes of getting back with Charlie after dashing Betty's dreams of finally going him after Betty sees him kissing a model that Betty later learns was just that and nothing else. He would later break Betty's heart after he tells her that she has shown up to work things out after the incident.

When Betty first meet Charlie, she finds her as friendly and creative, but at the same time naive and scared, since this is her first visit to the Big Apple...until Henry shows up and she rushes into his arms. Henry in turn believed that Betty was cool in befriending Charlie and wanted her to show Charlie the city, of which Betty relunctantly agrees to. As Betty takes Charlie around the following evening, she loses Charlie in the subway after Betty is distracted by the voices in her head (thanks to Amanda's advice to cease her inner MODE girl and suggests that she find Charlie’s weakness and exploit it!) When Betty finally comes to her senses, she tells Henry that it was a accident but then admitted that she let it happen because she broke up with Walter so she can be with him. But as they stare at each other and prepare to kiss, Charlie runs up and tells her that she loves New York and insists that it must have been fate that separated her and Henry, prompting her to stay indefinitely. As a result of this, Betty decided that as long as Charlie is around she sees no future in pursuing Henry and tells him they'll only be friends, even though the two still show signs of attraction despite Charlie's prescence.
