My thoughts on Charlotte/this art:

still a punk, still the brawn

took dance classes until age 11

still called 'Charlie' - spelled Charley in her case - by her "friends" at school

didn't play cricket at school—her dad didn't think girls weren't should play it—but she did play it with other neighborhood kids during summers

more of a movie buff than Charles, with a preference for action movies (see: the nunchucks)

spent more time learning "women's work" like cooking, sewing, etc from her mom (she's passable at sewing on buttons or fixing a ripped seam) (unlike Charles, who really misses food, what Charlotte misses more is the cooking)

still got abused by her dad, but was not beaten as viscerally (more slaps than punches, never pushed down the stairs)

at 11, spent sixteen extremely harrowing days in a youth psychiatric ward for "behavioral difficulties" after a series of tantrums at home, at which point she was pulled from most of her extracurriculars (including dance)

because of extra time spent with her mom, speaks more of her mother's native language than Charles
