Charlie

Charlotte Morningstar, more commonly known as Charlie, is the Hellborn princess of Hell, the founder of the Happy Hotel, and the main protagonist of Hazbin Hotel.

The daughter of Lucifer Morningstar and the estranged queen of Hell, Lilith, Charlie wants to do right by her kingdom and find a way to redeem Sinners into Heaven through rehabilitation at the Hazbin Hotel.[14]

Charlie is a tall and slim-built white-skinned hellborn demon, standing at over 6 foot,[15] around 6 and a half feet tall.[16] She has long, ankle-length blonde hair with thin light coral streaks on the paler-blonde highlights, which is usually tied into a twice-banded low-ponytail by two black hair ties. Her hair also features bangs that are flipped to the left side and ends with a curl.

Her eyes sport light yellow sclera and red irises, and have thick eyelashes and gray eyelids. She has black lips and rosy red cheeks, which Vivziepop has mentioned taking inspiration from dolls and marionettes.[17] Charlie features animal-like traits, such as red-toed hooves,[18][19] fangs in her mouth, and a short snout with a black animal-like nose.[17] Her fingernails are black and pointed.

Charlie wears a red tuxedo-jacket with darker red lapels and a small white tag located on the left side. She wears this over an untucked, long-sleeved, high-collared white dress-shirt that has two black buttons and dark red cuffs, worn with black suspenders and a small black bowtie. Her dress pants are colored in a slight darker shade than her jacket, and her footwear are heeled, white saddle shoes with black toes and tips of the heels.

When in her full demon form, a pair of dark maroon horns protrude from her head, and her eyes change to have red sclera with white irises and slit pupils; thin black streaks also appear across each eye. Her eyelashes become much longer and thicker, resembling butterfly wings.

Her fingers turn mostly black and become sharp and claw-like. She also gains a long black demonic tail with spikes and a triangular tip with a red heart on the center.

In order to block Adam's punch, Charlie's arm became large, dark red and demonic with light red markings and longer black fingers.

Charlie is compassionate and empathetic to a fault, feeling genuinely upset at the idea of harm coming to others.

Although she isn't unaware that Hell is populated with souls that have committed egregious acts in their living lives, she still views their yearly extermination as a senseless waste and makes it her personal mission to help them avoid it via self-betterment and eventual redemption, something she is seemingly alone in believing is possible.

Charlie's idealism, while setting her apart from many of her hellborn peers, can also make her naïve to many of the harsh realities that appear to stand in the way of her potential success - something her girlfriend, Vaggie, tries to remind her of, only to be cheerfully ignored in favor of a more blinkered, sunny optimism.

This can also cause her to rush headlong into the initial stages of her plans without much preparation (her prompt list before her big news appearance reading only "unicorn kisses, dolphin high fives, sing showtunes = happy ending?"). Another insurance is in "Masquerade", when she wanted to talk to Valentino about cutting Angel's work hours only to cause distraction and accidentally caused a fire on set.

Charlie has a love for musical theatre, song and dance, and will often convey her emotions and ideas through showtunes and ballads. She appears to take perceived failures hard, as she believes her heartfelt theatrical passion should be enough to bring people over to her way of thinking, and is disheartened when it's not as simple as she imagines. She openly admits during a dejected voicemail to her mother that she doesn't actually know what she is doing, or how to make her plan for reforming sinners work in practice.

Despite being sweet and lacking "street-smarts", this doesn't make Charlie a pushover or stupid. When people insult her or openly mock her ideals and plans, she has no hesitation in standing up for herself, or even rolling up her sleeves to physically fight back. When she witnessed Valentino abusing Angel, Charlie got furious to the point of turning into her demon form, but was stopped by Angel. Swearing is also something that's generally not part of her vocabulary and she doesn't cuss all the time,[20] but she is not above letting a few cuss words slip.

Charlie also displays some grounding in her idealism, understanding that not all demons can be redeemed, or even likely to change for the better. She displays sensible hesitation when confronted with an ambiguous deal from Alastor, the notorious Radio Demon, refusing the shake his hand and using her status to make demands of him (albeit with some sheepishness). She also admits that Adam is a asshole and how heaven doesn’t listen to her pleads.

Charlie is also a believer of second chances and mercy. Like in "Radio Killed the Video Star" when she found out that Sir Pentious was acting as a spy for the Vees, Charlie was the only one willing to give him a second chance when he was caught and regretful for what he had done. In "The Show Must Go On", despite hating Adam, especially after he vaporized Sir Pentious, Charlie was willing to give him mercy when Lucifer was beating him and about to hit him with a fireball.

Immortality - As demonic royalty, and as mentioned by Adam in "The Show Must Go On", Charlie is biologically immortal, presumably being able to live for a long period of time and only able to be killed by angelic weaponry. Demon transformation - Charlie can enter a fearsome, more powerful Demon form.[9] Demonic arm - In "The Show Must Go On", Charlie's arm became large and demonic, and with it she blocked Adam's punch with ease. Pyrokinesis - Charlie is able to summon fire at will, shown able to erupt flames from the ground, which become a fiery tornado around herself when transforming into her full demon form. She also set Tom Trench on fire (albeit offscreen) during her brawl at 666 News. Pyrotechnic generation - The pyrotechnics shown during I'm Always Chasing Rainbows were summoned from the palm of Charlie's hand. She later produced them from her finger against the Exorcists in "The Show Must Go On". Glitter generation - Charlie is able to generate glitter from her hands, which she threw at an Exorcist in "The Show Must Go On". Demonic magic - Being the daughter of Lucifer, Charlie can access powerful magic that is exclusive to the higher-ranking demons.[21] Sorcery - In the Finale of "The Show Must Go On", Charlie cast a sparkly golden magic which lit up a row of newly installed lights. Conjuration - Charlie can summon objects out of thin air, such as her Hazbin Hotel drawings she showed to Adam before he interrupted her. She also summoned a pitchfork in "The Show Must Go On" after transforming into her full demon form.

Multilingualism - Charlie speaks fluent English and is said to also be able to fluently speak the Demonic languages she grew up learning.[11] Hand-to-hand combat - As demonstrated in the Hazbin Hotel pilot, Charlie is able to hold her own when in hand-to-hand fighting. She did not hesitate to engage in a round of fisticuffs with antagonistic news caster Katie Killjoy. Musical talent - Charlie is considered a very talented singer, even outside of the show's non-diegetic musical numbers.[3] She can also play the piano.[22] Dancing - In addition to her musical abilities, Charlie is also a skilled dancer and a fast-learner, as shown in Alastor's Reprise, wherein she dances perfectly in sync to Alastor's steps. Charlie's personal style of dance is tap-dancing, something she can do very well.[10]

"I'll just have to resort to my impeccable improv skills." ―Charlie, reassuring Vaggie that she knows what to say "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm opening the first of its kind, a hotel that rehabilitates sinners!" ―Charlie, advertising the hotel "Ya know...'Cause hotels are for people passing through...temporarily." ―Charlie, to the audience "Look, every single one of you has something good deep down inside. I know you do." ―Charlie, trying to persuade the sinners "How does it feel that I got your pen, huh?! BITCH?!" ―Charlie, to Killjoy "Hey, Vaggie? The Radio Demon is at the door!" ―Charlie telling Vaggie that Alastor is at the door "As princess of Hell and heir to the throne I...er...hereby order that you help with this hotel...For as long as you desire!" ―Charlie, to Alastor "Welcome to the Happy Hotel! You are going to love it here!" ―Charlie, to Husk "Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud." ―Charlie, after reading the Story of Hell "Not that long. Only...seven...years. Off doing something important, I'm sure! But this kingdom was something she really cared about. Something I care about." ―Charlie, about Lilith "Uh...yeah. One note. Alastor...I mean...first off, thank you so much for making this seriously amazing, but, um...maybe the tone is a bit...off. We want people to want to come here. This makes it look, um..." ―Charlie, about Alastor's commercial "Angel, I appreciate you wanting to use your special skills to, um, attract folks to the hotel...but I really don't want to exploit you! In that way." ―Charlie when Angel offers to help with the hotel "My dad just called, he said that the leader of the Angel Army wants to meet, he asked if I, could go instead!" ―Charlie, after getting called by her father "Hi, I'm Charlie. My dad asked me if I could meet you." ―Charlie, introducing herself to Adam

"Right. So, I'm happy we've got this opportunity to meet. There's a project that I've been working on that I really want to talk to you about-" ―Charlie, attempting to pitch the Hazbin Hotel to Adam "Wait, your name is Adam? Like, the first man Adam? That means you...ohhh...that explains so much." ―Charlie, realising who Adam is "But these are souls...human souls, just the same as the ones you have up in Heaven." ―Charlie, to Adam "You're wrong. Sinners made mistakes, sure, but everyone makes mistakes." ―Charlie, after Lute says that winners and sinners are not the same "Oh, fuck! Okay, I've got a lot to get through and not a lot of time, and I feel like you weren't really hearing me before, so here it goes." ―Charlie, preparing to sing to Adam and Lute "Okay, so the Extermination is coming in six months instead of a year. No big deal! Just a little setback. Nothing we can't handle. Just angels cutting our timetable in half! But who needs a whole year to save souls, am I right?! And when they cut the time in half again, and again, we'll just handle it, RIGHT?!" ―Charlie, panicking over the early Extermination "Sure there is! We just...have to look a little harder for it!" ―Charlie, looking for a silver lining to the early Extermination "Um...Alastor, I think he's had enough!" ―Charlie, watching Alastor bully Sir Pentious "You heard right! Welcome to our home of healing! Our resort of restoration. Our-" ―Charlie, after Pentious shows up at the hotel "Absolutely! This place is about second chances, and who deserves one more than this slithery...slippery...special little man!" ―Charlie, convincing Angel and Vaggie to let Pentious stay "Well, I guess this is a great time for your first lesson - "How to Apologise". The first step to becoming a better person is to admit when you are wrong! Why don't you give it a try?" ―Charlie, getting Pentious to apologise to Alastor

"Now, with a new resident, I think it is important for us all to get to know each other, so we are going to play a little game. Everyone follow me. My name is Charlie. claps I like to sing. claps And when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing!" ―Charlie, playing bonding exercises with the hotel's residents "Good first day. Let's get some rest!" ―Charlie, after singing "It Starts With Sorry" "That looks perfect! Aah! I am so excited that Pentious is staying at the hotel!" ―Charlie, celebrating Pentious' first week at the hotel "Hi, guys. Thanks for coming! It's been brought to our attention that there may be a little...tension at the hotel." ―Charlie, doing the trust exercises with the hotel's residents "Actually, I thought maybe you could take the lead on this one. I trust everyone, so maybe you know better on how to build it properly!" ―Charlie, letting Vaggie lead the trust exercises "I, love you guys. Like, really, really love you." ―Charlie, doing a trust fall "Vaggie, don't say that! You do so much! It's-" ―Charlie, after Vaggie says how much she doubts herself "No, no. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I put pressure on you. We work as a team. I guess I just thought all of this would be easier, but we'll figure it out together. I mean, look what your exercise did for them!" ―Charlie, apologising to Vaggie "Okay...I could be so aggressively kind to Angel's boss, that I convince him to let Angel spend more time at the hotel!" ―Charlie, realizing how to get Angel to spend more time at the hotel "I am the Princess of Hell, Angel, and I go where I please! whispering I'm here to get you some time off for the hotel. Where's your boss?" ―Charlie, to Angel "Can I get a fire extinguisher? I am so sorry. I ruined your movie. I ruined your movie. Oh, my God. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Noooooo!" ―Charlie, after accidentally setting fire to Valentino's porn studio "WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN TREAT HIM LIKE THAT?!" ―Charlie, standing up to Valentino

"I-I didn’t (sob)… mean to. I'm… I’m so sorry." ―Charlie to Angel. "No! No... Don't force him back. Just make sure he's safe. I pushed too hard earlier and... I only made things worse. Look, he'll come back when he's ready. I just don't want anything to happen to him until then." ―Charlie, to Husk, before he goes after Angel "I’m SO sorry, Angel. I promise, I won’t ever, ever, ever, ever, e-" ―Charlie to Angel when he came back. "He-he-he said he - for-forgave me! It's so beautiful, Vaggie..." ―Charlie, about Angel forgiving her "Nope! No, not really. Haha. I've been up all night trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working. We've done trust falls, we've tried sharing our feelings, we only have a couple months left before the angels come! laughs manically And at this rate-" ―Charlie, trying to figure out why the hotel isn't working "Well, I'm actually running a hotel to rehabilitate sinners. Maybe you saw our commercial?" ―Charlie, explaining the hotel to her father "I need to speak to Heaven. Well, whoever's in charge up there, above Adam, above anybody. I need to go to the top!" ―Charlie, asking her father for a meeting with Heaven "Look Dad, I don't ask you for much, I never have, but this, this is really important to me. It's the most important thing I've ever done. And I...need you. I need your help." ―Charlie, pleading with her father "Please! Just come see what I'm trying to do. You'll see why it's a really good idea. And Heaven is bound to agree if I get the chance to talk to them. Please, Dad." ―Charlie, inviting Lucifer over "Okay! Okay, anyway. Dad, look at this lovely parlor where people can get to know each other and share secrets and stories and intimate feelings! Without Alastor, we wouldn't have been able to pretty it up this much." ―Charlie, to Lucifer

"So, once we have the proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons waiting to check out into Heaven! We just need a little time to prove it. The sharing circles haven’t been working as fast as I hoped-" ―Charlie, touring her father around the hotel "These are our people, Dad, I...I have to try!" ―Charlie, to Lucifer "Dad, stop! He's defending this hotel! It may be a bit more sadistic than I'd hoped, but he's doing it for me! How come he can have faith in me, but my own father can't?" ―Charlie, defending Alastor "Dad, just...help me." ―Charlie, pleading with Lucifer "Okay, I have my warm weather clothes and my cold weather clothes. I have a light jacket, flak jacket and rain jacket- wait, does it rain in Heaven?" ―Charlie, packing to go to Heaven "Vaggie, we are only going to Heaven for a day. And I just want to be prepared! It's our last chance to convince Heaven a soul can be redeemed." ―Charlie, to Vaggie "Vaggie, you're my partner. I need you there with me." ―Charlie, after Vaggie tries to get out of the trip to Heaven "-responsible night on the town! That is a great idea! Hi! Charlie! That's my wall that you just blew up. It's no nice to meet one of Angel's friends! Ah! He never brings anyone around." ―Charlie, introducing herself to Cherri Bomb "Yeah, me too. Anyway, Angel and everyone else have been working so hard, I think they deserve to have a little fun." ―Charlie, to Cherri Bomb "Okay, I love Heaven! Vaggie, did you see the ice cream shop? They had sprinkles made of rainbows!" ―Charlie, arriving in Heaven "OMG, can you imagine an actual koala?" ―Charlie, to Vaggie "Well, if you know so much, what do you think it takes to get into Heaven?" ―Charlie, challenging Adam "Um, objection! Are you really telling me you've never had a drink with friends after a hard day?" ―Charlie, to Adam "I have enough on my mind without hearing your sadistic idea of a joke, asshole." ―Charlie, when Alastor arrives at her room

"Ugh, I can't. How can I face them after failing them all so hard? They came here to be saved and all I gave them was more pain. I'm just as bad as the cruelest Overlord in Hell. Maybe worse! At least they don't go around giving false hope." ―Charlie, to Alastor "Oh, fuck you, Alastor! All you do is stand there, smiling while you watch us all struggle and fail. I don't know how you can enjoy all this suffering so much." ―Charlie, to Alastor "But I'm not! I'm the farthest thing from control. The person I trust most has been lying to me for years, Heaven refuses to listen - even if they did, I can't prove that the hotel works - Adam has a invincible Exorcist army pointed right at my doorstep, and there's nothing I can do, about any of it!" ―Charlie, venting to Alastor "What's that you said about smiles?" ―Charlie, to Alastor "Three years! THREE YEARS I've been sharing my life with her, and I tell her EVERYTHING! My hopes, my dreams, my insecurities, my embarrassing habits, what fucking DEODORANT I like, and she keeps something, like this, from ME? Why would she lie for so long? Did she think I wouldn't accept her? What about me? Me says un-understanding- misunderstanding, dis-under, wait wh-where are we?" ―Charlie, venting to Alastor about Vaggie "Well, as you know...the Extermination is coming early and they'll be here in a month and they're coming to my hotel and my friends first, and I-I-I-I-" ―Charlie, asking Rosie for her help "Sorry. Uh, okay, uh, my name's Charlie, and... Well, I run this hotel with my part... well someone and...Wait, let me start over. Angels are coming to kill us all and we need help defending our realm. So-- we, uh... we need your help-- With your assistance, we can make a stand for-- ♫I...I have a dream♫ and I--" ―Charlie, during the speech to the cannibals "FUCK YOU, YOU OLD BITCH!" ―Charlie, losing her temper at Susan "What do you do when someone you love lies about who they are?" ―Charlie, to Rosie

"My girlfriend is an Exorcist angel, and she never told me." ―Charlie, confiding to Rosie about Vaggie "Just, angry, because we share everything, because she always supported me, and my ideas, and-and- and now, I don't know whether or not that was just more of the lies! gasps Oh, no that's a horrible thing to think! Do I think that?! Yes! No. Kinda?" ―Charlie, to Rosie "She took part in the very thing we've been working so hard to end!" ―Charlie, to Rosie about Vaggie "She knows better than anyone that I believe in second chances, why not tell me?" ―Charlie, to Rosie about Vaggie "That she believes in me, and what we're doing. Right now she's off learning how to protect everything we've worked for. And, I can't even pitch my hotel right!" ―Charlie, to Rosie "Hold that thought. Err... Ah! I got you a souvenir from Cannibal Town." ―Charlie, giving Vagge a Channibal Town keychain "The wings are new. They look nice~." ―Charlie, complimenting Vaggie's wings "Well, looks like we have a lot of work to do." ―Charlie, about the preparations at the hotel. "Yes! And we are-we are going to win! But in case we don't, I want you all to know... that getting to know you has been the biggest honor of my life. Whatever redemption really means, I know you all tried. I have seen the good in all of you. And it's...I-I'm just...I love you all, so much, and-and live tonight however you want because-" ―Charlie, making a speech the night before the Extermination "Let's FUCK THEM UP!" ―Charlie's battle cry when the Extermination begins "DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS!" ―Charlie, fighting the Exorcists "What? Alastor was supposed to handle him. Oh no, he must be-" ―Charlie, seeing Adam "These sinners are my family!" ―Charlie, to Adam "That's Princess of Hell to you, pig!" ―Charlie, after stabbing Adam in the arm
