Because you're not a Japanese person, the correct way of writing your name is by using katakana.
your name: シャルマイン
You can learn hiragana and katakana by viewing the writing lessons in your premium course :)

Alternatively, you can find your name's etymology, then find suitable kanji, but it can be quite confusing to get a good reading. Derek-san did something similar iirc.

I had a Japanese person translate my name into Kanji. She struggled and came up with four for me to choose from. Each one seemed to represent a different personal trait so I chose the most flattering - I think!
