'''Captain Charlie''' ({{j|キャプテン・チャーリー|Kyaputen・Chārī}}), also commonly referred to as '''Charlie''' ({{j|チャーリー|Chārī}}), is one of the three playable [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''. He wears a spacesuit with a green lapel and a star-shaped badge on its left side. He has an average-sized nose, a dark brown mohawk and a tiny mustache, and like Alph, has eyes that are wide open at all times. His skin is also the most tan out of the three explorers. He, along with [[Brittany]] and [[Alph]], come from the planet [[Koppai]] in search of a new food source for their planet, and serves as the captain of their space-faring vessel, the [[S.S. Drake]]. He also takes a [[Rubber Ugly|rubber ducky]] with him on every mission for good luck. | '''Captain Charlie''' ({{j|キャプテン・チャーリー|Kyaputen・Chārī}}), also commonly referred to as '''Charlie''' ({{j|チャーリー|Chārī}}), is one of the three playable [[leader]]s in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

Charlie is shown as a very capable, level-headed leader and shows a lot of care and a sense of protection towards the people he loves and respects. In some reports it's revealed that he prefers to stay vigilant near the S.S. Drakes door to protect his crewmates and greatly appreciates their presence, since he was often alone in space during his youth as a ranger.{{ | Charlie is shown as a very capable, level-headed leader and shows a lot of care and a sense of protection towards the people he loves and respects.

Drakes door to protect his crewmates and greatly appreciates their presence, since he was often alone in space during his youth as a ranger.{{citation needed}} Charlie also shows great interest in the natural landscapes of PNF-404, as he considers the beauty of the plants and flowers to have moved him in a way that's difficult to describe. Charlie also seems to have a really keen interest towards ducks, demonstrating a lot of knowledge about them, owning a rubber ducky as a lucky charm and having a pet duck named Elizabeth whom he describes as his soulmate.{{citation needed}} His Piklopedia notes suggest he is a tenacious fighter and proud of his "steely fists". | ||
There are many parts in the game's story where Charlie tries to show his deep affection towards Brittany, only to be interrupted by some other, pressing matter.{{cite quote|{{color|2=cyan|(But this is also an opportunity to gain {{color|2=#AA0|Brittany}}'s respect.)}}|Captain Charlie|a [[Check in/Small talk#Small talk 34|check in conversation]]}}{{cite quote|Worry not, {{color|2=#AA0|Brittany}}!
