She also wears a yellow bangle on her right wrist, have circular red earrings and applies light pink lipstick.
Personality[]
She seemed really keen on Luis, but it was all part of Smiley's scheme.

Despite this, she was a little dense when not realizing that being caught meant going to prison with her boyfriend.
History[]
Early life[]
Charlene worked both as an actress and stunt woman at one of Mr. Smiley's amusement parks, where they met during one of his visits and fell in love. Later when Mr. Smiley decided to build an amusement park over the Oteros’ land, Charlene agreed to help him. She realizes they don’t have enough money to build the amusement park so she meets up with Luis at one of Mr. Smiley's amusement parks and pretended to fall in love with him to further her and Smiley's scheme, becoming engaged to Luis shortly afterwards. She then moved to Veracruz and began working at the Otero's hotel, as well as opening a café on the premises.
Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico[]
She encountered the gang when Luis introduced her, appearing quite cheerful and bubbly as she served them coffee. Later, she was constantly seen by Luis' side during the supper, Diego Fuente's arrival and later when Alejo explained the legend of Chupacabra to the gang. She was later seen along with Sofia, Dolores, Jorge and Chiquita saying goodbye to Luis when he, Alejo and the gang leave to solve the mystery, giving him a lucky charm to keep him safe. Later, she faked her kidnapping by the Chupacabra so she could stalk the gang and give them false clues which led them to the Museum of Anthropology, where she waited disguised as a museum guide, in a scheme to kidnap Daphne and make the gang stop their investigations.
Charlene unmasked.
She was lastly seen in the Veracruz cemetery, disguised as the Chupacabra to presumably save Smiley after he was caught. However, she was caught herself and unmasked, revealing the guide, but Velma recognised her and unmasked her again, revealing Charlene, who admitted her part in her and Smiley's scheme. She later asks Smiley what's going to happen to them now, with him angrily explaining they'll both go to jail for their crimes, cursing the gang for their meddling. She is lastly seen escorted away in handcuffs, along with Smiley, by the local police, both looking mad as the gang and the Oteros laugh, with Dolores explaining after the arrest that she never trusted Charlene and calls her a "bruja".

Notes/trivia[]
- Although Charlene may have appeared as an unfaithful lover to Mr. Smiley, he himself was of course aware of this since it was a part of his scheme. (From the point of view of Luis, however, she was unfaithful in pretending to want to marry him when she still loved Smiley).
- She is listed in the credits as "Charlene Otero" even though she is not married to Luis and never had any intention of doing so.
- It is unknown if the reason why Charlene love’s Luis’s money is because the Oteros were very rich,
