Quick Charlie Question

(Sorry, non-HP people, another public Harry Potter post.)

So I was reading some Charlie Weasley fanfic, and I realized that a lot of the time, Charlie is portrayed as either:

- An Adonis.

- A sexaholic.

- Both.

Am I the only one who sort of sees Charlie as a bit like a younger Hagrid with more common sense and less alcoholism?  I mean, I do see his job as being in a very rugged, busy atmosphere where there was more time for lust than actual love, so I'm sure he's not Mr. Committment, but I'm not sure where people get Sexy Dragon-Lovin' Adonis Player from. Bill, I can see, but not Charlie.

How do you see Charlie Weasley?

Truthfully, I never gave Charlie THAT much thought, but always sort of pictured him as the rugged outdoor type. Not super smart, no... but with an earthy wisdom that comes from working with animals and outside. Like a rancher or a farmer or something. I never really thought of him as a sex machine, but that said... who wouldn't take a turn with a well-muscled guy who knows his way around a dragon?

Very true.
