Additional: Ignore the awkward armpit part! That's just meant to give a reference to her hair length! Also, you can definitely add other characters in! Give her a new friend or a boyfriend if you want! Maybe in the beginning you could have both of her parents fight her on her decision to move, but her wise of granny says to let her. And I would plan it so that Char comes back to Louis! And at the end Granny could be like "I knew it all along. Children just need to discover themselves." I'm not sure, but it's a cute ending! I also would rather this whole thing be about self discovery! But your call!

Author's Note: So glad to be back! Sorry it's been so long!
