CHARLIE
Birthday: March 21st Sun Sign: Aries
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac, and ruled by the House of Self, which makes them brave and dazzling, but there’s an aggressive quality to the first house that can make them demanding and diva-like. With the responsibility of leading the zodiac, Aries feel compelled to pick up the torch and lead the way. Aries are driven by a desire to prove themselves and their strength, and naturally take charge and are competitive and ambitious. This fire sign has the ability to move mountains; they throw themselves at the world with the impulsiveness, energy, and persistence of the Ram that represents them. Charlie acts impulsively throughout the book, and yet her confidence always allows her to move through situations to get the answers she needs.
Unafraid of conflict, Aries do what they want, and do things their way. They aren’t afraid to make the first move when it comes to love and friendships. One of the most passionate signs of the zodiac, they are fearless, and won’t let the idea of failure stop them from chasing after their wildest dreams. While Aries enjoy competition, they don’t like to play games. They are highly self-aware, have strong opinions, and don’t like to waste time. Even without her memories, Charlie picks a path and follows it, trusting her gut. Charlie isn’t a damsel in distress—when she senses that something is wrong, she doesn’t wait around to be rescued.
At their best, Aries are courageous and confident, hard-working with a high sense of duty. They appreciate honesty above all else. Aries are enthusiastic about everything in life, and put their whole heart and soul into all their undertakings. Not content to sit back and wait, they go out and make their own luck. At their worst, Aries are impatient, jealous, and hotheaded. Known for their fiery tempers, they do not apologize for their anger. When they say “I don’t care,” they mean it. Aries often cause their own turmoil; they want to feel things intensely, which is why they can sometimes react out of heightened emotion. In true Aries fashion, Charlie embodies her feelings. When her father goes to prison, she pushes Silas away, doing everything she can to hurt him. But she shows her love for Silas just as intensely.
