Character History

Seven Minutes to Midnight

After a conversation with Hiro, where she shows perfect control of the Japanese language, Charlie states that she is "remembering a lot of things lately". While opening a can in the restaurant's kitchen, she hears a movement from behind. She ignores it, but then drops to the ground with the top of her head sawed off, probably by Sylar.

After Charlie's death, Hiro decides he will travel back in time to save her. He tells Ando he'll be back in five seconds, but fails to return. However, a photograph of Charlie's birthday party which earlier showed only Charlie now shows Hiro beside her.

Notes

• The full extent of Charlie's powers, if any, have yet to be confirmed. Some normal humans possess an eidetic memory, but Charlie states that hers only developed recently. This indicates her extraordinary memory is more likely to be an evolved human ability.
• Charlie's abilities seem somewhat more advanced than a normal eidetic memory. She appears to have total understanding of the information she absorbs.. For example, she not only memorized Japanese, but had a near-fluent ability to use it.
