Charlene believes she has a special connection to the universe. Small disasters seem to fix themselves around her, and lucky breaks follow her wherever she goes. She is certain that magic is real and is determined to find it. She spends her free time engaged in mystical studies, seeking answers to questions that most islanders never think to ask.
Her curiosity drives her to seek guidance from Youfang, the young monk who lives at Bastrom Heights, regarding her mystical interests.
