Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a beautiful astrophysicist who can hang with the boys. Charlie works as a civilian instructor at the elite Top Gun fighter pilot training school, but neither her non-military status nor her gender keep her from earning the utmost respect from her colleagues. One particular admirer is Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a cocky young flyboy she can’t help but be charmed by – even though she has a personal rule against dating students.
Personality... brilliant, commanding, and self-assured. “Insecurity” isn’t a word in Charlie’s vocabulary. She can flirt and fight with the best of them because she feels totally confident in both her personal and professional life. She has a softer side too, but she only shows it to those closest to her. Mostly, however, it’s important to remember that Charlie isn’t bossy – she’s actually the boss.
