Known for being charming and morally upright, Charles enjoys his reputation of strong values, because of the turbulent adolescence he experienced which led to the adoption of these beliefs. As a child, Charles was forced to give up special occasions, such as birthday parties, to accommodate his sick mother. Finding solace in faith as she succumbed to her illness, Charles’ mother did her best to impart her ideals on her young son. After her passing, Charles was raised by his father and Leah, a loyal worker employed by the family. As he grows, Charles struggles to adjust to the constant changes in his life. From losing his mother, growing older, and accepting his father’s new marriage, Charles must hold tight to the values passed on to him from his family and community, careful not to lose them in the chaotic journey of becoming an adult.
