Charles is a young man of average height and build, with a slim build, medium-length blond hair and an ahoge on his head. He has large yellow eyes and a noticeable sharp fang.

Charles is shown to be childish and disrespectful, best shown when he tries to sneak out during Loki's lectures and, when called on, covers his ears. He seems to show little to no interest in learning the concepts behind football and prefers to "wing it". His tendency to "wing it" during matches has become so apparent that even Loki has pointed it out. Charles describes himself as a "contrarian": a person who intentionally does the opposite of what he is told.

Charles also appears to be a great risk-taker, and is willing to perform extremely bold passes and maneuvers, even in high-stakes soccer matches, such as the match against Bastard München. This is most clearly shown when he wildly and instinctively passes the ball to Ryusei Shidou, not really knowing that he would be there to respond to the pass. This "counter pass" from Charles, coupled with Shidou's "pursuit of pleasure", ends up leading to a goal for Paris X Gen. According to Yoichi Isagi, this maneuver only worked because both players had a shared visualization of the "ultimate work" that arose from their respective perfect performances.

Seeing their spouse step off the boat, their legs would give way and they would fall to their knees on the damp sand, weeping uncontrollably, their sobs loud and inconsolable, as if all the years of silence were bursting from their throats at once. Between deep sobs and gasps that barely allowed them to breathe, they would reach for their beloved's hands to kiss them again and again, wetting them with their tears as they repeated in a broken voice that every cold night, every lens polished in solitude, and every taunt from the port's neighbors had been worth it. Their demeanor would be that of someone who feels like the luckiest person in the universe; they would cry with a mixture of relief and almost childlike joy, clinging to their spouse's legs to reassure themselves that they weren't just a figment of their imagination, convinced that they would wait for them a thousand more years just to feel that weight in their chest that confirms that, after so much pain, the world finally makes sense again.

Football, repairing watches: To measure time in a way that was both poetic and scientific, he would dedicate himself to making chronometers that worked with the density of the water from San Blas. It would be his way of "counting" how much of his life was slipping away while waiting, calibrating each drop with remarkable precision.
Hunting for photographs: He would dedicate himself to primitive photography (daguerreotypes). His obsession would be to capture the exact light at six in the evening, the time the ship must have arrived years ago. He would have hundreds of metal plates stored in wooden boxes, all with images of the empty sea, labeled with the temperature and humidity of the day, as if by documenting every second of the emptiness he could force his spouse to appear in the next shot.

He/She was born in Lorient, France.
His hobby is surprising people or saying something strange just to see their reaction ("It doesn't matter if you hate me!").
Their favorite animal is humans ("Huh? For me, it's one").
Her favorite movie is Alice in Wonderland because she loves the Cheshire Cat.
What makes her happy are things that people think are meaningless.
What saddens him is that people understand his feelings.
Her favorite food is macarons ("Japanese macarons are delicious too!"). The food she doesn't like is blue cheese ("Doesn't it look like it has mold on it? Blech").

The scene would be a port with gray skies and a persistent drizzle, where the dock is always wet and gleams under the light of the gas lamps that still survive. The air would be heavy, smelling of diesel from the ships, fresh seaweed, and the metallic aroma of the tons of sardines and hake unloaded every morning. Around Charles, life would be noisy and vibrant: fishermen in their thick navy blue wool sweaters and mud-caked caps carrying wooden crates, while friendly women in rubber aprons call out the day's prices in sing-song French, offering oysters and fresh fish to the locals who wade through puddles.
In the midst of this chaos of hardworking and supportive people, who always offered Charles a cup of hot coffee or a piece of bread because they knew his sorrow, his small refuge would rise. It would be an old gray stone customs house, nestled among the net warehouses. The place would have tall windows fogged by the cold, and while outside the sailors laughed and auctioned off the day's catch, inside the absolute silence of his optical laboratory would reign. Charles would observe the silhouette of the Citadel of Port-Louis in the distance, using that contrast between the warmth of the port people and the coldness of his solitude to fuel his hope that, among so many colorful fishing boats, the one that took his spouse years before would finally appear.
