'''Note''': シャルル is literally the katakana version of the French pronunciation of "Charles" but シャルル is a girl fairy, so I went with a female variant that is as close to the katakana as I can get it. "Cheryl is also an English form of the French, German, Dutch, English, and Scandinavian name Charlotte." Which is, of course, the female version of Charles.
