Dark Chicago      Charmaine Hill

Description

Charmaine Hill stands tall not through height, but through the sheer force of presence. Clad in tailored church coats and heels meant for marching, not posing, she’s always got a clipboard in one hand and a righteous flame behind her eyes. She speaks plainly, looks everyone straight on, and has a reputation for getting things done without cutting corners—unless it’s to box someone out. Her voice carries through crowds, over angry union men and reporters alike, and her silences hit just as hard.

Personality

Resolute, unflinching, pragmatic. Charmaine is both deeply compassionate and ruthlessly strategic. She wants what’s best for the community, but she’s long since accepted that “best” may not always mean “clean.” When cornered, she doesn’t back down—she pivots.

Habits

Keeps a thick notebook of names, favors, and secrets
Lights a candle before every major public event
Wears her late husband’s watch, still ticking
Speaks to children with a softness she rarely shows adults

Hooks & Angles

Possible Ally: If the crew protects her beloved O'Toole Athletic Field, she might become a powerful voice in their corner
Moral Compass: Her influence could be swayed, but only if the crew walks the line—too much violence, and she’ll turn
Veil-Touched History: Something supernatural scarred her years ago, and she won’t speak of it, but she still wears a charm sewn into her coat
Pressure Point: Political enemies may try to silence her—and the crew may need to decide whether to protect her, exploit her, or let her fall
