Description
Charle, also known as Carla or Sharuru, is an Exceed from Edolas. Sent to Earthland as an egg by her mother, Queen Shagotte, she was discovered and hatched by Wendy Marvell within the Cait Shelter guild, forging their lifelong partnership. Both later transitioned from Cait Shelter to Fairy Tail. After Fairy Tail's temporary disbandment, Charle and Wendy joined Lamia Scale, though Charle eventually aided Natsu Dragneel in rebuilding Fairy Tail following the conflict with Orochi's Fin.
Her appearance features small stature, white fur, pink ears, brown eyes, and two whiskers on each cheek. She typically wears a pink bow on her tail, a mustard-yellow and red top with a pink bow tie, and a pink skirt, though her outfits vary. Using her Aera magic grants her angel-like wings. Later, she gains the ability to transform into a humanoid teenage form with shoulder-length white hair, cat ears, her tail with its ribbon, and slightly enhanced magical and precognitive abilities.
Charle's personality contrasts sharply with Exceeds like Happy, marked by seriousness, strictness, and emotional reserve; she often suppresses her feelings. She exhibits strong maternal instincts toward Wendy, acting as her protector and caretaker. Initially aloof and dismissive of others outside Wendy, she frequently scolds Wendy to overcome shyness despite her own lack of sociability. She disliked Happy early on, rejecting his gifts and advances. However, witnessing Happy's bravery and dedication during the Edolas arc softened her demeanor, leading to improved relationships within Fairy Tail. She gradually shows more warmth, smiling and laughing around Happy, dancing with him, and displaying mutual trust.
Her key abilities include Aera magic for flight, capable of carrying one person. Techniques include Max Speed for accelerated flight at high magic cost and Scratch for aerial attacks. In her humanoid form, she demonstrates hand-to-hand combat like the White Moon dropkick. She possesses inherited precognition from Queen Shagotte, enabling her to foresee future events; this intensifies after her human transformation training, making her the only Exceed besides her mother with this power. During the 100 Years Quest, under Yoko's influence, Charle temporarily assumed a Yokai form called Suiko, gaining enhanced spirit power and ice resistance.
Charle's background involves a significant emotional burden related to her Exceed heritage. She struggles upon learning her mission involves a prophecy about Extalia's destruction, causing distress. Her journey includes reconciling her duty with loyalty to Fairy Tail. Confronted in Edolas, she defiantly rejects her predetermined fate, declaring unity and resilience to protect her homeland. Her relationship with Happy evolves into mutual respect and affection, marked by protective moments during escapes and battles. She has a fondness for Darjeeling tea and an aversion to "tomcats."
Regarding nomenclature, variations like "Charle," "Charles," and "Carla" stem from translation debates. Series creator Hiro Mashima acknowledged the discrepancy, explaining the name derives from a literary princess, with Western translations sometimes adjusting it due to "Charle" sounding masculine in some regions; all versions are valid.
Her combat involvements span multiple guild conflicts, including battles against the Reborn Oración Seis, Zirconis, Ajeel Raml, and foes in the 100 Years Quest arc like Kiria, Madmole, and Skullion Raider. She also participated in the war against Orochi's Fin and confrontations involving Yokai transformations.
