CHARITYE

Name: Charity Standish

Family Background: Charity is the daughter of Faith Standish, Grace Bennett's twin sister. Unbeknownst to Charity, the Standish women have powers of good-powers that can be used to destroy evil Tabitha Lenox. Faith was aware of these powers and knew of the danger they faced from Tabitha. As a result, she and Charity were constantly on the run...but Tabitha eventually found them. When Faith died in a fire set by Tabitha, Charity went to live with the Bennetts-Grace, Sam, Kay, and Jessica. In the fire, Charity lost her memory, so she doesn't recollect her time with her mother.

Romantic Life: While Faith was still alive, Charity begged her mother to take her to Harmony's summer carnival. Faith finally agreed and it was there that Charity bumped into Miguel-literally. The teens fell in love at first sight. Once Charity moved to Harmony, the two became inseparable. Miguel and Charity plan to marry as soon as Charity turns eighteen. Charity doesn't know that once she and Miguel make love, she will come into her full powers of good and will be able to destroy Tabitha. Of course, Tabitha will do anything to prevent that from happening.

Friends: Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, Jessica Bennett, Reese Durkee, and Simone Russell. Charity also considers Kay, her cousin, to be her friend...but there's more to Kay than meets Charity's eye. Kay has been in love with Miguel since the two were kids and would do anything to get him. Kay has tried everything to get her hands on Miguel-from planting subliminal messages in Charity's head to dumping fish guts on Charity to make her look bad in front of Miguel. Charity has no idea that her cousin was behind these, or many other, dastardly deeds.

Greatest Trial: Charity actually survived being trapped in the fires of hell. After selling her soul to Hecuba in an effort to win Miguel, Kay wound up bringing hell to Harmony. Hecuba and the demons wanted good-girl Charity... and Kay did nothing to stop them from getting her. As a result, Charity was dragged into hell. Miguel jumped into the flames to save his beloved...and was followed by a guilty Kay. Eventually, all three made it out of hell alive. Charity eventually figured out that Kay had brought evil to Harmony by selling her soul. When Charity prayed for Kay's soul, Timmy heard his beloved Charity's prayers and set free Kay's soul, which Tabitha had stored in a bottle.

Best Qualities: Charity is an innately good, moral person, who always puts others before herself. She would do anything to help a friend or family member in need. She also never sees bad in anybody-including her cousin Kay and next-door neighbor Tabitha, both of whom are constantly plotting against her! Charity has an amazing amount of love in her heart, as evidenced in her relationship with Miguel.

Worst Qualities: Charity's inability to see bad in people can actually be detrimental to her own good. The number of times Tabitha has tried to kill her is too many to count-including poisoning her petit fours, electrocuting her by a Christmas Tree, and dumping her on a train track-but Charity still only sees her as the sweet lady next door!

If She Had One Wish: She would live happily ever after with Miguel...and she would only have visions of "good" happening to her loved ones!

Most Prized Possession: The cross Miguel gave her, which belonged to his Grandmother.

Biggest Fear: That she will see something horrible happening to a loved one in a vision and will be powerless to help.

Something You'd Be Surprised To Know About Her: Even though Charity possesses powers of goodness, those powers turned bad when she put on a pendant, which Tabitha gave her. With glowing red eyes and a scary voice, "Evil Charity" wreaked havoc. When Miguel, Kay, and "Evil Charity" were trapped in the mineshaft, Charity not only tried to kill Miguel and Kay...she also let loose a fireball in an attempt to destroy all of Harmony! Once the pendant was destroyed in the mineshaft, Charity was back to her old self...and she has no memories of her actions as evil Charity
