!!'''Charlie Matheson Jr.'''

to:

* FeaturelessProtagonistAmbiguousSituation: Her final fate is left unclear, even in the Hardcore mode. For all we know, the camera could've just been kept on by that point.
* FeaturelessProtagonist: Subverted in that it's fairly obvious that you're controlling Lauren, the only other named character from the writings.



* [[spoiler:NotQuiteDead: The game ends as she is trapped in a room with a drained flashlight and someone (or something) opens the door to attack her. In Hardcore mode, she survives... but only because it's in the Slender Man's best interests that she lives.]]

!!'''CR'''
!!'''Charlie Matheson Jr.'''


Added DiffLines:

* FriendlessBackground: It's implied that CR is the boy whose missing poster reads "Charlie Matheson Jr." Having apparently left his family, he played in the woods with Kate as a kid and sneaked into the Kate's house all the time. He stopped visiting once kate's mom caught wind of it. He knew about Lauren, but specifically asked Kate not to tell Lauren about him, so Kate was his only real friend by this point.
