* WhamShot: When he appears in Wendy's cinematic. A lot of players unaware of Jack's existence were wondering [[spoiler:what was Maxwell doing there]] when they saw him for the first time.

* NotSoDifferent: From Wilson Higgsbury. William used to be a young man with the ambition to succeed in his area of expertise, but he struggled with it until he was offered the chance to change his life forever. [[DoomedByCanon And just like Wilson he would eventually pay the price for it]].

The Night Monster or [[FanNickname Grue]]. If the player is in total darkness for more than a few seconds, she'll attack, taking 100 hp. She used to be Maxwell's assistant, before both were taken to the ''Don't Starve'' world.

* AllThereInTheManual: [[spoiler:The datamining of the speech files of ''Don't Starve Together'' revealed that Charlie actually replies to some character quotes, mostly to [[WeUsedToBeFriends Max]][[PayEvilUntoEvil we]][[{{Revenge}} ll]]'s and [[LongLostRelative Wi]][[KillTheOnesYouLove no]][[{{Tearjerker}} na]]'s]].
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: [[spoiler:Implied. While Winona loved Charlie very much, she compared her to a mandrake in one of her quotes. [[AllThereInTheManual Charlie]] [[AgreeToDisagree wants to talk about it.]]]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:Her SplitPersonality is vicious and very sadistic, as her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Wilson upon freeing him from the Nightmare Throne shows very well.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''Don't Starve Together'' in the "A New Reign" expansion - after Maxwell is freed from the Nightmare Throne and Charlie frees its next would-be holder, Wilson, to take the throne for herself]].
* CastingAShadow: [[spoiler:Her powers post-transformation involve darkness; she could conjure flames of darkness, [[RealityWarper transform an entire throne room]], and use black vines to tear apart the Jury-Rigged Portal and replace it with the Florid Postern]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She used to be a stage assistant for Maxwell until his dabbling with dark magic turned her into the Night Monster. She understandably hates Maxwell for it, attacking him in the dark like she does everyone else]].
* DarkerAndEdgier: In-universe; [[spoiler:before her SplitPersonalityMerge, her demonic side wanted the Nightmare Throne room to have some very draconic elements, with the Throne itself having dragon heads on the top]].
* DarkIsEvil: As the Night Monster, she attacks the player if they stay in it for too long without a light source. [[spoiler:It definitely applies when she seizes the Nightmare Throne for herself and becomes queen]].

* DontLookAtMe: She doesn't attack Woodie in Werebeaver form, which has limited night vision. This suggests that she's not scared of lights, but of being seen.
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Maxwell was freed from the Nightmare Throne at the end of Don't Starve by Wilson, Charlie takes over as the new ruler of the world after freeing Wilson from the throne]].
* EldritchAbomination: It is heavily hinted that she is one of the shadow creatures now. [[spoiler:After undergoing a SplitPersonalityMerge with the demonic side of her that was completely affected by the shadow monsters and seizing the Nightmare Throne, she becomes a HumanoidAbomination]].
* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:She changes into a much more dapper dress with horned shoulders, and the flower in her hair turns into a small hat with a large red feather, after taking control of the Nightmare Throne]]
* EvilIsNotAToy: It's suggested by supplemental material that Maxwell's use of dark magic turned Charlie into a monster [[spoiler:and allowed the shadow creatures to take control and use her as a pawn to act through]].

* FlamingHair: [[spoiler:Charlie as the Night Monster was designed with fire-like hair, which becomes more apparent when her demonic self takes over. Then it's averted when Charlie reconciles her human and demonic sides, making more human-like with all the powers she has]].
* FlowerMotifs: Roses, and she always wore one in her hair when she was a human. [[spoiler:After seizing the Nightmare Throne and becoming queen, she becomes associated with thorned roses, her trademark and a symbol of sinister things going on]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She was just a simple assistant to Maxwell before being turned into the Night Monster after Maxwell dabbled too much into dark magics on stage, [[spoiler:and then proceeded to take control of the Nightmare Throne after Wilson frees Maxwell, becoming the new ruler of the world.]]

* GreenThumb: [[spoiler:Mixed with [[CastingAShadow darkness]]. [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/bb/Final.png/revision/latest?cb=20160429234216 This comic]] shows black vines tearing apart the Jury-Rigged Portal and replacing it with Charlie's own creation, the Florid Postern]].
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:By the time we see her in person, the only real thing that can be arguably called human is her appearance. When she undergoes a SplitPersonalityMerge, this is more apparent.]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Her sister, Winona, says that she used to be afraid of the dark. Look at her now]].

* LighterAndSofter: In-universe; [[spoiler:before her SplitPersonalityMerge, her good human side wanted to have the Nightmare Throne room to have rococo-style architecture, with a very ornate chair flanked by two statues of cute cherubs]].
* MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: [[spoiler:Charlie after becoming queen and the new holder of the Nightmare Throne in ''Don't Starve Together'' is a far deadlier and capable villain than Maxwell had ever been]].

* NiceGuy: Charlie had not a single mean bone in her body until she was turned into the Night Monster [[spoiler:when Maxwell used the Codex Umbra too much for his stage acts. Her kindness resulted in a SplitPersonality conflict as her human self clashed with the shadow creature's influence, before they reconciled to create her threateningly elegant current persona]].
* NiceHat: [[spoiler:After going through a SplitPersonalityMerge and an EvilCostumeSwitch, she gets a small gray hat with a large red feather on it]].

* PetTheDog: She created the events in ''Don't Starve Together'' so that the survivors could celebrate and have fun. Also, during certain events she makes appear special trinkets and sweets, [[spoiler:including ''[[WeUsedToBeFriends Maxwell's favorite]]'']].
** [[spoiler:Her secret quotes in game (now removed) reveal that [[ApologeticAttacker she actually feels sorry]] [[StakingTheLovedOne for attacking]] [[SiblingMurder Winona]] when she is in the dark, but she has to do it because [[GreaterScopeVillain she is forced to follow]] [[{{Callback}} the rule]].]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:She almost effortlessly transforms the Nightmare Throne and its chamber repeatedly to fit her own aesthetic tastes, before even sitting down. She also turned the Jury-Rigged Portal into the Florid Postern - all things that Maxwell couldn't do when he had the Nightmare Throne]].
* {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:Implied to be why she attacks Maxwell in the dark like she does everyone else after he becomes a player character, which is very understandable since Maxwell dabbled too much in dark magic, leading to both of them getting trapped in this world. It becomes more convincing after Charlie seizes the Nightmare Throne, and becomes a bigger threat than Maxwell was]].

** In ''Don't Starve Together'', [[spoiler: one player can watch another be attacked by the Night Monster if the first player is a Werebeaver or sometimes if the second player is attacked while running toward a light source. Her attack appears as a disembodied clawed black hand poofing out of nowhere to strike the player.]]
** [[spoiler:She is finally seen post-Final Act in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAjbOJBfk5U the New Reign cinematic]]. She then proceeds to free Wilson ([[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and beat the crap out of him]]) and take control of the Nightmare Throne.]]
* SlasherSmile: [[spoiler:Her demonic self from being completely transformed by the shadow creatures that took her into this world is very vicious and AxCrazy. She has an insane grin to go with this]].
* SmugSmiler: [[spoiler:Much like Maxwell before her, she starts wearing a superior and self-assured smile after reconciling her old human self with her demonic self, seizing the Nightmare Throne for herself]].
* SpikesOfVillainy: [[spoiler:Her dress after undergoing a SplitPersonalityMerge has horned shoulders, and she became the BigBad of the game, replacing Maxwell]].
* SplitPersonality: Little ol' Charlie has a rose in her hair and a friendly smile. [[spoiler:When the Night Monster takes over, she loses the rose and gains [[FlamingHair dark flaming hair]], [[BlackEyesOfEvil black eyes]], and a [[SlasherSmile less friendly smile]]. [[SplitPersonalityMerge Upon claiming the Nightmare Throne, the two halves reconcile into a threateningly-elegant whole]]]].
* StartOfDarkness: {{Pun}} aside, [[spoiler:she used to be Maxwell's stage assistant until one meddling with dark magic too many transformed her into the Night Monster and threw her into a bleak world she didn't belong in, understandably leaving her none too happy with Maxwell. After she takes the Nightmare Throne and becomes the Shadow Queen, she becomes the game's new BigBad and a threat that the player characters have to deal with]].
* StepfordSmiler: Charlie was terrified that Maxwell's new "magic tricks" involved dark magic, but she kept a brave face and a friendly smile because voicing her concerns would hinder the show. A poster advertising one of Maxwell's shows has her look on with terrified eyes despite her smile as Maxwell summons a shadow monster. [[spoiler:It leads to tragedy for the both of them]].
* TakeAThirdOption: [[spoiler:Attempts to do this with the cycle of the player characters and Maxwell uprooting each other by just breaking Wilson free from the Nightmare Throne. However, she then consciously decides to become a third option for the shadow monsters to act through]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Maxwell. [[spoiler:Now she attacks him when it's dark, just like anyone else]].
* WasOnceAMan: [[spoiler: Before the whole mess with the Codex Umbra, she was Maxwell's assistant on the big stage. Now she's something a lot more sinister.]]
