Charley's Official Bio (2006)

The best wrench in Chicago, Charley is very possibly the best motorcycle mechanic anywhere. She's also the best friend a Biker Mice From Mars could ever hope to have.

Charley is the owner of the 'Last Chance Garage' that is until Ronaldo Rump blows it up to make way for his nex Rump Burger franchise location.

Nobody knows their way around a bike like Charley. She's a valuable addition to the team as she brings bravery, tech skill and imagination to the quest to find Stoker and save Mars from destruction at the paws of the Catatonians and Earth from the overdeveloped schemes of Ronaldo Rump.

Character, background and appearance

Owner and operator of the Last Chance Garage and the land it is built on, Charley is an incrediblely skilled mechanic/auto mechanic who lives in an dilapadated area of the city of Chicago. The Mice are always backed up by Charley. She is a headstrong young woman, and is always ready to go into battle, except the Biker Mice keep her out of those types of situations. Aside from being the target of Vinnie's flirtations, she is also responsible for a lot of upgrades (or lack thereof when the plot asks for it) for the Biker Mice and is a high-tech genius in her own right, seeing as she was compared to Karbunkle by three aliens once.

Physical appearance

Charley is a native of the city of Chigago. Charley has auburn-red hair that goes past her sholders, and has creamy-green colored eyes. She is 5'9 ft in height and weighes 120lbs according to this Height Chart. In the new 2006 series, Charley's eyes are a more bolder green color and her hair is shorter.

Dress

Charley's typical dress in the classic series is a pair of dark blue jeans, a blue baggy work shirt with the sleeves rolled up to below her elbows, a pair of brown cowgirl boots, and a utility work belt with tools inside. In the new 2006 series her attaire is more biker-theamed; skin-tight blue trousers, a blue sleeveless shirt, a pair of black boots, and sometimes a black leather jacket.

History and background

When she is introduced in the first episode, "Rock and Ride", she is about to be forcebly made by Greasepit to sell her garage to Lawrence Limburger to dig up the land. Before that can happen however Greasepit is confronted by Vinnie and then by Throttle and Modo, who all send Greasepit rolling out of the garage and out of sight. Charley is immediatley freaked out that she's in the presense of "giant gerbils". Throttle "shows" Charley with his memories about how "our planet was invaded by a race of smelly stink-faces called Plutarkians" and introduces themselves. Charley shows them that it seems that "The way you guys describe what these, uh... Plutarkians did to your planet, I think you ought to check something out...From the looks of things, I’d say they’re here..."

Character

Equipment

As a mechanic, Charley has a lot of equipment at her disposal, like the tools of her trade. Also, Charley has more than one ride, apart from her bike, Charley drives a call-out truck - a combination of a pick-up truck and a tow truck.

Charley's bike

In the classic series Charley mostly rode on a call-out bike (for whenever a mechanic is called out to do repairs) whenever she wasn't riding shotgun with Vinnie on his bike. On a couple of times (The Masked Motorcyclist and Biker Knights of the Round Table) Charley rode a black and purple prototype bike of her own design and make as she rode the Biker Mice's rescue. In the new 2006 series Charley rides what looks like a orange off-roader dirt bike which she tunes up regulary. In Manchurian Charley, she rides a customised off-roader of her own handywork she calls "The Mauler"--a massive, tall bike, armed with weapons.

Weapons

Since she first met the Biker Mice, Charley has developed some skills as a marksman, dispite their attempts to disway her from joining in a fight. In the classic series Charley can sometimes be seen armed with a Bazooka or a Martian Laser Pistol.

Love life

Rob Van-Ham

Rob Van-Ham was a character who was only seen in the classic series, in Danger is Our Business. Charley had dated Rob Van-Ham in high school, where he was voted "most likely to wimp out". Why Charley had even dated him is never touched upon--but it ended on prom night, where Rob Van-Ham dumped her for another girl called "Cindy Maroose", details with which Charley was unhappy with to say the least.

In Danger is Our Business, Rod Va-Ham was an actor of little actual talent, he was nothing more that a pretty-boy who looked good for the camera, but had little in the way of brains and cound not remember the simplest of lines; futher more, Rob Van-Ham, dispite the preasense of muscles on his figure isn't much of a strongman who needs stuntmen to do all the action in his movies--but he is so self-absorbed that he claims that he does all his own stunts. As well as being slow-witted, Van-Ham is exceddingly far more egotisical (amazingly even more-so then Vinnie) and he is so vain that he wears a wig to cover his bald scalp.

When the Martian Biker Mice, wishing to pay Charley back for traching the inside of her garage, apply for the job of stunt motorcyclists in Rob Van-Ham's new movie being shot in Chigago, it is revealed to be another of Limburger's plots to tear down the city. When the Mice survive all of Limburger's atempts to kill them off with "faulty special effects", Karbunkle augments Rob Van-Ham physically to take down the Biker Mice. When all three Biker Mice are unable to stand up against Van-Ham is when Charley makes her presense known and aims an energy bazooka, and hits Van-Ham right on a vulnerable apart of his bionic strength-augments, rendering him back to his wimpy former-self.
