I would like to disagree. I'm going by the assumption of what we identify first with a champion when we think about them. So my personal opinions are..

For example, in Karma, the first thing that comes to your mind is her Mantra.

In Ahri case, the first thing I think about is her Orb of Deception. During then when she was first released, I believed she was the first champion to have a skillshot that utilizes true damage. Cause the rest of the true damage were single target clicks (correct me if I am wrong). The next thing I think about is her mobility.

Charm never really appealed to me. Reflecting on Riot's impression of her, she was first identified by her skillshots and mobility first. Sure, one can argue Charm is arguably the best cc (on paper at least). But there are more CCs that I'd like to regard as being better and far more reliable, like Suppression from Warwick's R. Or Malphite's AoE knockup, Amumu's ult stun.

That's just me though. Charm to me always appeared as a the cherry on the top of a cake. But what really makes the cake are the bases, which in Ahri's case, her skillshot Q + W, and Ult mobility.

It's like saying Anivia's known for her W/Passive, which is a wall when what she's probably better known for is her ult and massive suite of cc that she brings. I find things like defining traits very subjective. One can say what makes Ahri, Ahri is her charm and another could say it's her Mobility and Q.

I guess I can understand why Assassin Ahri players are so pissed about Assassin Ahri getting removed. But to me, like I said, Charm was the cherry on a cake and it fits the image of Mage-Assassin Ahri. More poking, more skillshots, less all-ins.
