Charlie Morningstar

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind, a hotel that rehabilitates sinners!"

- Charlie, advertising the hotel

Charlotte Magne, most commonly referred to as Charlie, is the Hellborn princess of Hell, the founder of the Hazbin Hotel, and the protagonist of Hazbin Hotel.

Despite what most of Hell thinks, she believes that redemption is possible for any and all demons and hopes that it will help with the betterment of the kingdom.

Appearance
Charlie is described to be a tall demon, possibly measuring her height to be at least or around 6 feet tall with long, curled blonde hair. Her lips are black and she has rosy red cheeks, which VivziePop has mentioned taking inspiration from puppets and marionettes. Red cheeks are associated with happiness and a cheerful personality, which Charlie gladly shows towards people. Her eyes are black and her sclera is light yellow. Her eyelids have a contrasting pink shadow to add more depth and are decorated with gray eye shadow. She usually wears a black bow tie, long black suspenders over a white long-sleeved shirt underneath her red colored tuxedo jacket, paired with aubergine colored trousers with stripes at the end of the legs in the same color as her jacket, and black and white spectator shoes. At other times, she wears either a black tuxedo or a white shirt.

When in full demon form, a pair of dark-reddish horns protrude from her head and her eyes' sclera turn bright red with slit pupils. Her demon form makes her resemble her father more as opposed to her default form.

Personality
She shows strong compassion towards her friends and her people. She's naïve and theatrical, while also bursting with passion. Charlie does everything in her power to make everyone happy and is determined to make her kingdom into a better place. However, she can be stubborn whenever something doesn't go her way. She also has a huge passion and love for musical theatre. So much so that she says herself that she communicates more information through song.

Despite being sweet and naïve, it doesn't make her a pushover or stupid. When Katie Killjoy kept ruthlessly mocking her idea, Charlie stole her pen and called her a bitch. Even when Katie turned into her demon form, Charlie began to fight back and even possibly set Tom Trench on fire. When Alastor offered to make a deal with Charlie by a handshake, she refused and used her status by ordering Alastor to help her with the hotel for as long as he desires, which he agrees to. She is also not above letting a few cuss words slip. Charlie also knows that not all demons are redeemable since she admits that she knows how evil Alastor can be and most likely not going to change for the better.

It is shown throughout the pilot episode that Charlie also struggles with feelings of inferiority, calling herself a failure in the opening song sequence and being seen as such by some of Hell's inhabitants. While she is often striving to do better and make a difference for the betterment of Hell, she is prone to self-doubt and sulking whenever her plans fail horribly.

She's also known to "act before thinking". Like before her interview, she made a list of her plans but it just said random stuff like "dolphins kisses and high five." Even during her interview she thought singing her song "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow" would help the people understand her plan better, only to be devastated to learn that her plan wouldn't automatically be accepted and was laughed at by everybody in the news station. She even admits during her voicemail to her mother that she doesn't know what she is doing or how to make her plan for reforming demons work.

Trivia

 * The name Charlie Magne seems to be a pun on Charlemagne, the King of the Franks and the first Holy Roman Emperor.
 * When used as a surname in French, Magne (short for Magnus) translates to "Great" or "the Great", meaning the Magne family would be "Charlie the Great", "Lucifer the Great" and "Lilith the Great".
 * Charlie's now archived Voxtagram account's username "@hotel_magnement" is a pun on the word "hotel management" combined with her last name, Magne.
 * Charlie is the only character in the main cast who is a native hellborn demon, and therefore not previously human.
 * When asked if Charlie has a true and full-fledged demon form, or if it only appears when she's extremely angry, VivziePop said that she does, but would not elaborate further.
 * Charlie has been said to be "a tall girl" and is taller than her father, Lucifer. Not by a large amount, but still notable, with Charlie standing at around 6ft, or possibly over.
 * Charlie's design is inspired by Vaudeville-style porcelain dolls or puppets, and goats. VivziePop described Charlie's nose as being like a lamb or puppy dog, that looks very animal-like from the side, even though her character is mostly humanoid/marionette.
 * Charlie's lips are naturally black.
 * Charlie apparently does not have human shaped ears.
 * Charlie is considered a very talented singer, even outside of the show's non-diegetic musical numbers.
 * Charlie's style of dance is tap-dancing. It's something she can do very well.
 * Charlie can speak any native hell language, as it is what she grew up with.
 * Charlie was confirmed to be bisexual by VivziePop, who tweeted a doodle she had done for National Coming Out Day featuring Charlie with a bisexual heart. She later tweet a picture for Bi Pride Day, which featured both Charlie and Moxxie holding bisexual flags.
 * Charlie has an ex-boyfriend, Seviathan. She dated him during her hell school years and he is depicted as taking her to the prom in one of VivziePop's illustrations of the two. He is Helsa's brother, as seen in their family portraits in the background of the hotel.
 * Vivziepop has confirmed that Charlie and Vaggie are indeed a canon couple.
 * She compares Charlie and Vaggie's relationship to that of Jack Skellington and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
 * VivziePop said that Charlie and Vaggie have known each other for "a very long time". When asked who she thinks fell for the other first (Charlie or Vaggie), Vivziepop stated that she thinks they were really good friends for a while and it was "kind of a natural progression for them", so she doesn't really know who was in love first, thinking it was a more mutual feeling that developed between them. She also thinks that their becoming a couple happened a fairly long time previous to the events of the pilot, and even before some events that she has planned to occur before the pilot.
 * When asked what kind of things Charlie and Vaggie were doing before opening the hotel, Vivziepop declined to answer, mentioning she would actually love to explore this within the official comics.
 * According to VivziePop, Charlie sees something magical in the idea of being human. She sees it as a kind of incubation stage where they have the choice whether they go to hell or heaven. She has a very fantastical idea of what humanity is, as far it's flaws are concerned, and she likes humans, despite never having ever seen one.
 * Although VivziePop thinks that Charlie does celebrate birthdays with the standard kind of party, she is still unsure of how demon years and time work for someone like Charlie.
 * VivziePop said that Charlie would like books that have happy endings and strong characters, specifically young adult adventure books.
 * VivziePop talked about how Charlie's attitude towards the patients of the hotel is to treat them "kind of like children". That she views them as similar to wayward teens who need righting and disciplining, and that her view of the situation is immature. Charlie doesn't take the patients' issues seriously enough and characters that should be in therapy would simply be given a time-out. VivziePop said that her answer to Angel's bad behavior would be to try and send him to his room.
 * Despite Charlie's position as royalty in hell, nobody within the sinner area of Hell respects her or her family. Dave Capdevielle explains this as there being a lack of consequences or incentive for sinners to show anyone respect, describing their view of Charlie as being like "a Disney princess". VivziePop agrees with this assessment, adding that the royals theoretically should be respected, but that they're ruling over a group of people who don't currently respect authority, and probably didn't respect authority when they were alive, combined with Charlie being a completely unintimidating person.
 * Charlie isn't the most mindful of her position on a day-to-day basis and is far too trusting of everyone, causing Vaggie to have to be more on guard for her.
 * Charlie is said to take very much after her dad.
 * According to Faustisse, both Charlie and her mother, alongside Alastor, are fans of pineapple on pizza.
 * In very early drafts of Hazbin Hotel, the character of Charlie could be considered an entirely separate character. Her design was entirely different from her current iteration, as was her personality. She was not the daughter of Lucifer, she was a mortal soul, who died in the 1830s and acted as a kind of "den-mother" to the demon gang. VivziePop liked the name 'Charlie' so much that she transferred it to the new character that now features as the protagonist of the current version of Hazbin Hotel.
 * According to Dave, if he were to describe Charlie with a My Chemical Romance song, it would be "Sing".
