Synopsis
''Charlie's goals in life are pretty simple : get her High School diploma, become a legal adult, take care of her 4 y/o way too literate brother and make sure social services don't realize their dad has run away. So grabbing the unfortunate interest of one famous James Hardford sure wasn't part of her plans, especially when he (like about everyone else apparently) thinks she's a boy!''

Charlie Summers
Charlie is a 17 y/o girl in her last year of high school. She looks very androgynous and since she wears the male uniform for practical reasons, people think she's a boy, but she doesn't really care. Her goal is to lay low and never have to interact with them anyway. She's the type to avoid conflict at all cost but when faced with no choice, she knows how to stand for herself. Her life revolves around her brother and she's very bad at interacting with people without resorting to heavy sarcasm and improbable feats of acting (which she's pretty good at).

Lucian Summers
Lucian is Charlie's three-almost-four-year-old brother. Like his sister, he's pretty terrible at socializing with his peers, especially since he's a vocabulary sponge and talks a lot better than any kid his age. Other than this particularity, he's a little blonde ball of sunshine, always optimistic (especially when it comes to his dad) and loves his sister fiercely.

James Hardford
James is a 19 y/o teenager who's the embodiment of most people in Charlie's school (he goes to the University part) : he's very rich and a bit of a prat. In addition to being an heir to an influential family, he's also famous for his modelling. For now, James is a bit immature, very paranoid and doesn't seem to see the consequences his actions have on Charlie's life. He has an older brother and a younger sister, is apparently pretty bad at school and passionate about photography.

Louis Thornberry
Louis is James's best and only friend since they were kids and the son of the school's principal. He likes thinking out of the box, meddling in people's lives and knowing everything about everyone. He takes an immediate interest in Charlie right after meeting her since she looks like a perfect way to bring chaos into his and James's lives. He's not a bad guy but his love for drama makes it easy for him to sometimes forget about other people's feelings.

Fitz Montgomery
Fitz is a waiter at Isaac's, a local Butler Café. He's a very friendly guy who, like Louis, is a bit nosy but in a good way. He loves making new friends and is a hard worker, very loyal to his friend Isaac, the coffee shop's manager. He loves watching Charlie act and took an immediate liking to her. For now he seems to be one of the only characters able to make her smile and not get her thorns out (except for Lucian of course)

Isaac Davis
He's the manager of "Isaac's butler café" and Fitz's friend. He's a nice guy who alternates between hard work and very sudden impromptu naps.

Lisa Hackman
She's a rich annoying and popular girl in Charlie's class. She seems to really admire James and is pretty condescending with Charlie.

Jason Summers
He's Charlie and Lucian's dad, a man-child with no sense of responsibilities. He left them about 3 years ago, when Charlie was 14 and Lucian 1 and sends them letters and money from time to time. He thinks they can access his bank account to take whatever they need there (which they can't). Since he fled, he became a famous actor going by the name "Jason Hides".
