Charlie Hudson

Charlotte Rose "Charlie" Hudson is the main character in the fanfiction series, I Was Here, by HappyHollyWolly on Fanfiction.net. She is a Freshman student of William McKinley High School.

Charlie is the younger sister of Senior student Finn Hudson. Before the series, her and Finn's mother, Carole, married Burt Hummel. Therefore, his son, Kurt, became their step-brother.

Charlie Hudson is portrayed by an Unknown SiteModel.

Early Life
Charlie and her older brother Finn, were raised by their mother Carole. Their father, Christopher, was a United States Marine and died in Iraq before Charlie was born and when Finn was very young. While Finn discovered his love of singing from a young age, Charlie was different. She was shy and studied alot, keeping near perfect grades for all of elementary school and middle school. Charlie does this in an attempt to make her mother happy and proud of her.

More recently, Charlie gained a step-brother in Kurt Hummel, when her mother married Burt.

O ne
Charlie is first introduced on her first day of High School at William McKinley. She bee-lines down the hall on her way to class. She see's Finn being interview by Jacob Ben Isreal. She is then met by Santana Lopez. She proposed that she join the Cheerios and be her protégée, but Charlie refused and walks on. She is then given a freshman slushie by the Hockey players.

Two
Charlie, still adament to making friends, had settled into her routine at school. It was one day in the cafeteria, when she was having lunch, that the Glee Club burst into one of their big numbers (We Got The Beat). This ends up starting a food fight, and Charlie scrambles out of the room before she is hit by more flying spaghetti.

Later that day, after cleaning herself up, Charlie was making her way to the library to do homework, when she hears Sugar Motta auditioning for the glee club. She states that it sounded like cats being drowned. Finn, who has drifted off during one of Rachel's rambles, sees Charlie walking past. He runs after her a pleads with her to join the glee club. After forcing her into the choir room, Charlie finally accepts, under the condition that she doesn't sing solos and just sways in the back. Rachel welcomes her to the glee club with a hug.

Three
The chapter opens in Algebra class with Charlie trying to determine when the bell is going to ring. Detasting anything to do with maths, Charlie counts down, before the bell prematurely goes off. The students begin to pack up their things when their teacher, Mrs Spitler, announces there is a test.

Behind Charlie, two girls exchange hurtful comments about her. Donna and Jenna went to the same middle school as Charlie and are known for their money and bitchiness. After exitting the classroom, the two blondes shove into Charlie purposely, causing her to drop her books. Jenna passes an unrelated comment about her brother, before they move on.

Blaine, who witnesses this, goes over and helps Charlie pick up her books again. He reminds her that it was bullying that caused Kurt to transfer schools last year. Charlie tells him that she'll sort it and not to tell Finn or Kurt. Santana arrives and tells Blaine to leave. Santana, again, tries to get Charlie to join the Cheerios. Charlie, in a grouchy mood from the incident, is short with Santana.

Santana tells Charlie that there is one freshman spot open on the Cheerios each year and with her pull as captain, Santana can get Charlie the spot. Santana tells her how she'd be a great Cheerio and hot in a uniform, and having boys falling at your feet. She also tells her that she'll stop asking her when hell freezes over. Charlie ultimately accepts and goes to class. But, she only accepts so that she can rub it in Jenna and Donna's faces later.
