Appearance

Charlie is an anthropomorphic Bigfoot. His fur covers his entire body except for his hands and feet. Some of his fur forms a mustache above his mouth. His fur color when he is dirty is usually olive-green. However in the episode "Bubble" when Charlie is cleaned up, he has tangerine orange fur with light yellow hair and blue eyes.

Personality

Charlie is characterized as loud and eccentric. He always stays positive throughout the day.

You know that one annoying friend who just can't get the hint? That's Charlie, and he's Bigfoot. The Bears meet him when Charlie signs up on a home-sharing website to spend a weekend with the Bears. Charlie is the worst possible house guest for the Bears and nearly destroys their house.

Charlie is a fabled creature. As such, many photographers seek to snap a photo of him. Because of this, many people end up disrupting his normal, everyday life, causing him to grow an incessant fear of humans and anything that can or may appear to be able to take pictures. However, Charlie is very friendly, to any animal he meets. In "Charlie and the Snake", he attempts to befriend a deer and a raccoon, and even becomes friends with a snake. He is also so desperate to hang out with the Bears that he makes up a fake party for them to go to as an excuse.

Though he can appear annoying at times, Charlie is friendly and generous to all. This is made more of an example in "Hurricane Hal" when he lets all the animals take shelter in his car with Panda during the storm. Either due to his loneliness or his overactive imagination, he names every animal individually and treats them with kindness as he does the Bears.

The Hunt

Being a big foot, Charlie has been much hunted, and it is possible that they are still hunting him so far. The main episodes that demonstrate this are: "Charlie and the Snake", "Rescue Ranger", and "Creature Mysteries".

Charlie and the Snake

No direct hunt was shown in this episode, but it could be said that there was an indirect hunt for Charlie. Since according to the host of the program Creatures of Mystery, thousands of dollars were offered in exchange for a clear picture of Charlie.

Creature Mysteries

In "Creature Mysteries", Charlie's main hunter was Ranger Tabes, since she was determined to show the media and the government that the creature really existed. To achieve this feat, Tabes had spent years to get a full view of Charlie. And as she was able to complete Charlie's profile, she set traps throughout the forest with the bait: Charlie's favorite cheese snacks. And with his innocence, Charlie fell into Tabes's traps, but as the Bears were in his favor, Charlie managed to get rid of the Tabes hunt. After one of the traps failed, a huge fire arose above the cave of the Bears. Thinking that Charlie was in the trap, Tabes went up to the fire, but when she encountered a big "nothing" in the trap, she found herself surrounded by fire. Seeing that situation, the Bears tried to help her, but they could not do anything. Thus Tabes fainted from the lack of oxygen. Seeing that, Charlie puts his fear of humans aside and helps her out of the fire. After being convinced by the Bears, Ranger Tabes then gives up on hunting Charlie and gives him his personal space out of gratitude.

Relationships

Grizzly Bear

Bro 41

Grizzly unsure of which way to go.

Grizzly seems most tolerant of Charlie as he's the only one who hasn't shown anger or yelled at him, though its made evident that Grizzly definitely isn't all about Charlie. As he was trying to be a friendly host in "Charlie", he didn't want to seem rude, so he tried his best to be as friendly as possible towards Charlie, though he is seen to be shocked and even annoyed as some things his house-guest did. Grizzly is also seen shoving Charlie over on his way to the large stack in order to assist Panda. In "Charlie Ball", Charlie show a little hostility towards Grizzly as he targeted him the most when shoving or injuring the opposing team during the basketball match. This may be because Charlie felt hurt when Grizzly told him he can't be on the team anymore after Panda's arm healed up.

Panda Bear

Bro 37

Charlie hugging Panda.

Panda has mixed feelings for Charlie, not enjoying his company too much whenever he comes around, though Charlie tries his best to make him and his brothers happy. In "Charlie", his behavior quickly gets on Panda's nerves, as he not only smacks his phone into a bowl of soup, but also forced Panda to sleep on a soggy pillow and was generally being inconsiderate, however they did reconcile before Charlie had to leave. In "Brother Up", Charlie helped inspire Panda to start acting like the big brother; the leader, after he accidentally scared away a pack of wolves. Charlie also threw the Bears a party in the wilderness in "Charlie and the Snake" to help show them how much he appreciates their friendship.

In "Chicken and Waffles", the two seem to grow closer after Panda has to ask him for help getting to the restaurant after he accidentally broke his contacts. Charlie does everything he can to try and get to Chicken and Waffles. After a dispute, the two attempt to go their separate ways when Panda gets into trouble. Charlie goes to save him, but the tables turn quickly. Panda reaches out to save Charlie. In the end, Panda, and his brothers, decide to eat with Charlie than at the restaurant.

In "Panda's Art", two grow closer to each other and Panda begins to feel more comfortable around his presence.

Charlie will often instinctively reach out to hug Panda and, in "Panda's Art", he can be seen subconsciously snuggling with him after he snuck into Charlie's car home. He has complete, 100% trust in Panda and is never one to suspect him doing anything wrong.

Charlie and Panda's relationship is further developed in the episode "Bubble" as Panda is traumatized by a horror movie about germs. Panda is still shown to be disgusted by Charlie and backs away from him, only to roll toward a toxic waste dump. Despite what Panda did to him, Charlie still didn't hesitate to save Panda from getting trapped in the toxic waste. Charlie nearly drowned in the toxic waste, but was saved when Panda conquered his fear of germs and saved Charlie's life, still showing that Panda cares immensely for Charlie.

Ice Bear

Charlie episode 27

Ice Bear patting Princess' back.

Charlie made a bad first impression to Ice Bear, as a majority of what Charlie did in "Charlie" aggravated him; from being overall disgusting and messy to ruining his dinner and making a mess of the cave, it's not surprising Ice Bear didn't like him very much. Both in "Brother Up" and "Charlie and the Snake", Ice Bear doesn't appear to be warming up to him as he still appears to be annoyed with Charlie's antics. In "Charlie Ball", however, it is shown that Ice Bear is starting to warm up to him, as shown when he allows Charlie to substitute for Panda in a game of basketball after he get injured and requests to play with Charlie against Grizzly and Panda since he wants to win.

Snake

CS 118

Charlie conversing with the snake.

Charlie and the snake are good friends. Charlie has shown he really cares for it, and was especially delighted when he was introduced to its family in "Charlie and the Snake". He had discovered the snake when he was about to head out to obtain food for the party he threw for the Bears, so he brought the snake along with him. After going through mishaps in trying to obtain food, they found themselves at the Bears' house, seeing if there's anything there, but to nt avail. When they finally order pizza using Panda's phone, Charlie talks to the snake on the couch while they wait. The snake ends up eating some food sculptures Charlie had made for the Bears that morning, and this makes Charlie upset. He finally leaves with the pizza, the snake hdg left on his ow, when he's found by some Bi-foot hunters with cameras who then chase him. Just as his picture is about to be snapped, the snake comes in and scares off the hunters, reconciling with Charlie in the process. The snake finally introduces Charlie to its family before shedding its skin for him as a memento.

Ranger Tabes

Charlie and Tabes become good friends after finding Kirk.

At first, Tabes and Charlie start off badly because of Charlie being wary of her as a human, while Tabes wants to capture him and expose his existence to the world. In "Creature Mysteries", it is revealed that she first met him when she was a child and it's the reason for her hot-blooded determination. However, Charlie is willing to put his fear aside to save her when she nearly dies from the fire around the Bear's cave. Out of gratitude, she gives up on her lifelong search and finally finds him retreating into the forest. By the end of "Rescue Ranger", she officially becomes his first human friend after she returns the favor by saving him from a booby-trapper as Charlie grows out of his fear of her and Tabes clarifying that she doesn't want to capture him anymore, declaring to always protect him. Following "Tabes & Charlie", the episode focuses on their growing friendship while searching for Tabes's dog, Kirk. They work together with no problem and part ways with a hug.
