Charlie Thorne

Charlotte "Charlie" Thorne is the main protagonist of the Charlie Thorne book series. Charlie Thorne has a genius level IQ. She is recruited by the CIA to find Albert Einstein's lost equation "Pandora". Her half brother is agent Dante Garcia.

Early Life
Charlie was raised by unappreciative parents who originally planned to exploit her genius. Even in pre-school she showed signs of massive intelligence. But, as she grew older she learned of her parents' plan. So, instead she pretended that she was actually below average. Her parents grew angry and started to dislike her. At age 8, she sent a software program to the Lightning Corporation, which she left with a note asking for an appropriate amount of money for the program. She was unfortunately naïve and did not patent it or even leave a paper trail. The company did not oblige. So several years later, realizing she'd been scammed, she hacked into a back door she left in the program. She stole several millions of dollars which she used to live out a good portion of her young life. During this time period she only happened to meet her half brother, Dante Garcia, twice.

At age 12, she attends Colorado University, though only for the skiing. She rarely attends classes but keeps up good grades. While there, she, being a daredevil, attempts to jump off a very steep and high-up drop with her friends, as another thing to cross off her bucket list.
