Backstory
At the age of three; young Charlotte Nelson came across an injured Kheldian in her backyard. Unafraid and unsure of what it was; she talked to it and quickly decided that they were friends. The Kheldian (then named Naarjindaris Haraanour) explained to her that If he could not find a being to bond with he would have to go away forever; Charlotte didn't want to lose her new friend and told the Kheldian that they could bond. Reluctantly, as there were no other conscious beings within his reach, he bonded with the little girl, though he did not merge personalities with her, as that may have had adverse effects on a mind so young. He thought that it would just be until he had gained his strength back and could find a new host. Once he had regained enough power he tried to leave Charlotte, but in tears she begged and pleaded for him to stay; the Kheldian, not being heartless, couldn't leave the girl in this state, and decided to stay with her until she did not need him anymore.
His presence was felt by his young host, however, in the form of nightmares; visions of his past bombarded the young girl while she slept. Realizing his presence was having a negative effect on her, he tried once more to convince her that he should leave, but once again she begged him to stay. One night during one of the nightmares he found he could manipulate what she was seeing and turned the nightmare into a happy child-friendly dream. Since then he has kept a watch over her dreams ensuring that she never has to endure his past. Because of this she named him Night Light, as, like a night light, he made it easy for her to sleep, he accepted his new name; partly because she could never get his real name right anyway.
The years rolled on; with Night Light's guidance Charlotte grew into a respectable girl (albeit with a fascination for aliens and sci-fi). Her family eventually moved to Paragon; as her father, a construction worker, could find a lot more(and higher paying) work there. There Charlotte attends Steel Canyon High School and things were relatively normal for her. Until one day, on her way home from school, she witnessed a mugging; Wanting to do something to help she asked Night Light what they could do. He told her how she could use his energy to help the woman. Shooting a blast of light energy Charlotte quickly dispatched the mugger, though she didn't wait around for the woman to thank her. Upon arriving home; Charlotte decided that she liked helping people, and with her power she should help those who don't have the power to help themselves. Night Light was against the idea, but could do little to convince her to do otherwise. Thus Charlotte Nelson registered herself as the hero Lightmare and begun helping the people of paragon!
Personality
Nice to a fault, Lightmare believes in the good in everyone, some see this as naivety. She has strong beliefs in what a hero should and should not be, and will clearly voice her opinions if she feels she needs to. Boy-crazy she will often be talking about a boy, boy troubles, or just be thinking about them; she has a tendency to fall for those she shouldn't; or have those who shouldn't fall for her. She's easily frightened, under-confident, and sometimes a whiner, though most don't hold that against her.
Powers
She has the standard Kheldian powers; minus the shape-shifting as Night Light believes it could have untold ramifications on a growing body. Other preternatural abilities include: The ability to have people be nice to her, the ability to talk to -anyone-, and what her friend Side-shift reffers to as: Special jail-bait powers.

- My Best friend, She has saved my life twice now. She needs some self-esteem though ... few more months with me and it should be pouring out of her! - Side-Shift
- Ah, Lightmare. For some reason, she claims to be "rubbish" out in the field..though I completely disagree with that. She had proven herself to me out in the War Zone that she can handle herself. Even if that wasn't true..I'd still think of her as one of my closest friends. - Aquila Hawk
- She's nice. - Zombie Boy
- When I first met Lightmare, I knew she was destined for greatness. I did not expect this "greatness" would mature as quickly as it did. I am, still to this day, proud of my decision to make her a team leader for the Palladium Sentry. Her lively hood, good nature, and unyielding persistence make her a strong leader and an even more enjoyable friend. - American Avenger.
