In House of Many Ways
A thin-faced, ginger-haired girl who is also known as "Miss Charming", most likely due to the similarity to her name, in her mid teens who grew up in a "respectable" family environment to be "respectable"; as a result, she does not know how to do much besides reading (e.g. she does not know how to use hot water to make tea) and has little interest in anything but reading books. Because she often is so focused on only one aspect of a situation, she often fails to see the larger picture. She has the abilities of a witch, inherited from her family on her father's side, who revealed to her he uses magic in his cooking, but was raised thinking that magic was vulgar by her mother - when angry, she can literally force anything to happen by yelling what she wants out loud, a technique which she herself admitted to be rather crude. Charmain's ambition is to become a librarian and she becomes entangled in the mystery of the missing royal gold when she comes to aid the king in sorting out documents at the royal library, and is ultimately apprenticed to her uncle, along with Peter, to nurture her magical gifts. She and Peter begin with a difficult relationship that slowly gets better; she also befriends Howl (as "Twinkle"), Calcifer and Sophie.
