Charlotte Mearing
- Charlotte Mearing is a human from the live-action film series.
Not everyone can be as pleasant of a bureaucrat as Theodore Galloway. But the United States's Director of National Intelligence Charlotte Mearing does her best to live up to his legacy. But where Galloway was spiteful and confrontational, Mearing is overbearing, controlling, and impatient. She demands that every last operation, decision, and piece of intelligence go through her before anyone else. She especially doesn't take kindly to people going over head, no matter how long their list of heroic deeds may be. Just calling her "ma'am" is enough to get on her bad side and earn yourself one of the most intense staredowns you'll ever experience. Mearing's no less demanding and exacting towards her hapless assistants who have to lug around dozens of high-priced handbags and accessories she'll demand at a moment's notice with little to no specification.
If Mearing has any redeeming qualities, it's that she at least sees the big picture. When confronted with a problem bigger than her, she loses her condescending and snippy attitude and tries to work with her colleagues. The Autobots are also able to remind her of her place if she ever tries squaring off with them. Mearing seems to understand the importance of NEST, but they better do things her way.
She also had one-time fling with Seymour Simmons, but she (understandably) doesn't like it brought up. But that doesn't stop him from trying to (unsuccessfully) rekindle old flames.
