Biography
Charlie Wheeler is a paleontology professor who first meets Ross (one of the show's six main characters), in Central Perk, alongside Professor Spafford. After this encounter Charlie becomes aquatinted with Ross, and further gets invited to Joey Tribianni's party on the roof of their apartment building. At the party, Charlie begins talking to the group and mentions her former boyfriends, including multiple Nobel Prize winners and a singular winner of Genius Grant. After this party, Charlie becomes close with Joey, and they begin to date; after this, she continues as a regular in the show, being included in the next nine episodes.

Joey Tribbiani
At Joey's rooftop party in "The One With The Soap Opera Party", Ross's confidence was lost after hearing about Charlie's former relationships, as he was interested in Charlie. Joey, with no intention of screwing Ross, sees Charlie and instantly makes a move on her. The two then dated for a couple of episodes, but it quickly runs its time as Charlie is very smart and sophisticated, while Joey struggles to understand majority of the words Charlie uses in normal sentences. The tipping point was during Charlie's keynote speech; Joey is in the crowd and laughs at the words "homo" and "erectus", shortly after the speech concluded, the two realized they were not a match, and Charlie broke up with Joey.

Ross Gellar
After Charlie and Joey broke up, Ross had thoughts going through his mind as he had feelings for Charlie since the day they met. While Charlie and Ross are on the run from other paleontologists, they hide behind a large plant to get away, at this point, Charlie admits that she has feelings for Ross. Ross feels the same way but wants to talk to one of his best friends, Joey first. The two dated for a few episodes until Charlie discovers that her old boyfriend Benjamin still has feelings for her.

Benjamin Hobart
Prior to already having a relationship with Charlie, Ross, Charlie's new boyfriend, is up for a grant, and the administer for the grant is Benjamin Hobart. Charlie is confident that this would not obstruct Ross' plans, so she arranges a dinner for the three of them. After Charlie gets up and goes to the restroom, Benjamin admits to Ross that he is still in love with his ex-girlfriend and tells Ross to break up with her, and in exchange, will give Ross the grant. After declining the offer, Ross interviews for the grant, and Benjamin starts asking him ridiculous questions that have nothing to do with paleontology. Ross tells Charlie everything, and she does not believe him, so they go and see Hobart together. Benjamin then confesses his love for Charlie and on the spot, the two kiss, ending Ross and Charlie's relationship and sparking back up Benjamin and Charlie's.
