Charlotte "Charlie" Farnsworth (real name Necessity Alice James) was born on the Mirror Universe Earth in the year 2367. Her parents, having been Terran slaves, were experts in transporter modification technology. Gaining access to such technology, for unknown reasons (possibly compassion for their daughter) they beam their newborn infant to the Prime Universe. Whether by intention, accident, or some unknown reason, Charlotte's life improved as a direct result of this abandonment. Charlotte was found, swaddled, and alone on the streets of Oxford, by the Farnsworth family. She was given the adopted name Charlotte Callisto Farnsworth and was raised in an environment of relative ease, education and love.
Nevertheless, things had stirred in her from her infancy. Emotional issues of abandonment had always haunted her, though she had never actually known the reason why. She was always restless, and bored with her lifestyle, always instinctively feeling that something unknown was missing from her life. At the age of twelve she turned to a life of crime, picking pockets, developing sociopath behavior and learning to lie. Neither her parents or psychologists ever knew why such impulses were inside her; having no apparent causes in her upbringing.
