| — CHARLENE |
CHARLENE, also known as CHARLIE, is a character and enemy in OMORI. She is one of the six members of THE HOOLIGANS.
PROFILE[]
APPEARANCE[]
CHARLENE is a teenage girl standing at an above-average height compared to the other teenagers in FARAWAY. She notably has shaggy brown hair with multiple bangs covering her eyes. CHARLENE wears a dark purple sweater with a light-purple stripe sticking out. She also has pink pants and a brown belt with a flower with five pink petals and a yellow pistil symbol attached to her waist.
PERSONALITY[]
Unlike her friends, CHARLENE is shown to be silent and rather aloof. She doesn't appear to have that much to say in conversations, usually indicating her shyness around others. Despite this, KEL notes that CHARLENE is actually friendly and warm-hearted when getting to know her better. She also only attacks others if they try to harm her first.
STORY[]
BACKGROUND[]
CHARLENE was born to YELLOW BUN GRANNY and an unnamed father as their youngest daughter along with 6 older siblings for an unknown amount of years prior to the game's storyline. At some point in her life, she became a member of THE HOOLIGANS, which consisted of KIM, VANCE, ANGEL, herself, and THE MAVERICK. The group would later gain a new member, AUBREY, who eventually became their new leader as well.
THREE DAYS LEFT[]
SUNNY and KEL can first encounter CHARLENE and the rest of the HOOLIGANS riding their scooters down the lower street in FARAWAY. When KEL attempts to stop KIM from bullying BASIL at FARAWAY PARK, CHARLENE and the other HOOLIGANS arrive to witness the commotion. The group watches AUBREY attempt to beat down SUNNY and KEL but end up backing off once they notice the wound AUBREY received from SUNNY cutting her with a knife.
Upon learning that AUBREY stole BASIL's PHOTO ALBUM afterwards, SUNNY and KEL head off to interrogate the HOOLIGANS for AUBREY's whereabouts. They first locate CHARLENE in FARAWAY PARK, who then reveals ANGEL hiding in one of the trees. KEL asks both of them where AUBREY but ANGEL challenges them to a fight instead. CHARLENE silently backs up ANGEL against the two but doesn't do anything unless provoked.
If ANGEL loses, he demands a rematch, but it is only after KEL threatens blackmail that ANGEL reluctantly directs SUNNY and KEL to his master, THE MAVERICK, for information. In the evening, she heads over to the HANGOUT SPOT offscreen with ANGEL for unknown reasons, evident by some scooters found near the entrance of that area.
TWO DAYS LEFT[]
The next day, CHARLENE and the HOOLIGANS are seen eating pizza at GINO'S, with AUBREY ignoring SUNNY and KEL's presence silently. The HOOLIGANS later heads over to HANGOUT SPOT and finds BASIL there as well for unknown reasons. They attempt to force BASIL to leave but this leads to the latter to cry out for help. SUNNY and KEL arrive at the spot, and KEL attempts to stop them as usual.
AUBREY then decides to fight the two once again, this time with the HOOLIGANS backing her up. A fight ensues, and it doesn't matter if the player wins or loses. Either way, KEL tells AUBREY that even though she spends more time with her new friends, she still comes over to the old hangout spot, meaning she still cares about her old friends. This causes AUBREY to back down in silence.
Having enough of constantly tormenting BASIL, the HOOLIGANS exit the secret hangout spot, leaving AUBREY alone with her former friends. In the evening, CHARLENE returns back to her house and can be interacted inside of her room.
ONE DAY LEFT[]
CHARLENE and the other HOOLIGANS notice that AUBREY isn't coming out of her home. This worries them greatly, which leads to KIM heading over to SUNNY'S HOUSE to ask SUNNY, KEL, and HERO for help. HERO agrees to go help AUBREY as he wants his friends to be fully reunited for real. The group leaves SUNNY'S HOUSE and find the HOOLIGANS all standing outside of AUBREY's house, waiting for her to come out.
After comforting AUBREY and retrieving the PHOTO ALBUM along with the missing photos of MARI, the group leaves the dirty home. AUBREY apologizes to the HOOLIGANS for worrying them. She tells them that she'll be spending time with her old group of friends for the remainder of the day. Later on, CHARLENE is found at the garden of FIX-IT. If interacted with, she will tell the group that flowers are pretty while handing them a FLOWER CLIP.
MOVING DAY[]
Sometime after SUNNY manages to overcome OMORI within his mind, the HOOLIGANS are one of the many who leave behind flowers for him in the HOSPITAL.

All skills, unless stated otherwise, have a 20% variance rate. This means they will do between 80% and 120% of their regular damage.
*Like many other FARAWAY enemies, CHARLENE will prioritize KEL as the first target before attacking SUNNY (Highest AGI).

| DO NOTHING | CHARLIE is standing there. | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Every turn, each enemy will start by trying to use the skill listed at the top. If the calculation fails, they move on to the second skill and so on, until reaching the final skill which is guaranteed to activate. Each calculation is done independently from the previous ones, so the added percentage is not 100%.

TRIVIA[]
- Despite everyone referring to her as CHARLIE, SUNNY seems to identify her by her real name. This is reflected in her HEADSPACE counterpart, SHARLEEN.
- CHARLENE is the only one of THE HOOLIGANS to not have an animated battle sprite.
- This also means that CHARLENE is one of the only 5 enemies in general to not have an animated battle sprite, the others being CHICKEN?, RABBIT?, BIG STRONG TREE, and SOMETHING.
- Like all enemies in FARAWAY TOWN, CHARLENE was originally intended to have emotion states. These were scrapped for unknown reasons, but can still be accessed by hacking or through using mods.
- CHARLENE has an undelivered love letter on the desk of her room, implying she has a crush on someone in FARAWAY TOWN.
- Despite having sprites for her hurt and defeated states, CHARLENE is immune to all damage during the fight with her and ANGEL in FARAWAY PARK. Defeating her isn't necessary however, since only ANGEL will progress the fight.
