FULL NAME:: Charlotte Jeanette Bellerose
NICKNAMES:: Lady Charlotte, Lady Lotte, Lotte, Charlie (never to her face)
GENDER:: Female
ACTUAL AGE:: 208
APPARENT AGE:: Late teens to early twenties
SPECIES/RACE:: Vampire
PREFERRED PRONOUNS:: She/her/hers
SEXUAL ORIENTATION:: Lesbian
FACECLAIM:: Natalie Dormer
NATIONALITY:: French
HEIGHT:: 4'8"
HAIR:: Blonde
EYES:: Grey; can appear green or blue, depending on lighting
SKIN:: White
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:: A small scar on her right cheek from where her husband backhanded her with his ring on. Two fang marks on her collarbone, from where she was bitten when she was turned. She's much shorter than average.
APPEARANCE:: The first thing people notice about Charlotte is just how small she is; she's been described as "teeny tiny", short in height and petite in build. The second thing people notice about her is that, despite how small and, let's face it, adorable she is, she is usually the most intimidating woman they have ever met. There's just something about her that lets them know that she means business, that she will get what she want, and that there's nothing they can do about it. Perhaps it's the fact that she's a vampire. Perhaps it's the fact that she looks killer in those heels. Who knows? Only her, probably.
She has shoulder-length blonde hair that could be described as "spun gold" and light grey eyes that are nearly silver, but can look blue or green depending on garb and lighting. Charlotte is never seen outside of a dress or gown of some sort, and then only the most high-class of those. In a single word, she's beautiful. In another, better single word, she's radiant. And she knows it. Confidence seeps out of her very pores.
She only has two scars: the one on her cheek, and the bite on her collar. Her turning was the only vampire bite she ever received, or she's sure she would have more.
PERSONALITY:: If her looks can be described as simply "radiant", her personality can be described as thus: "motherly". There is no doubt that Charlotte is a very maternal figure. Though she's young both in age (for a vampire) and in face, she takes on everyone as her child. Gavin is her true child. But everyone else can still be counciled, guided. She has a soft spot for beaten, broken things like what she used to be. She is one who always has a word of advice and a shoulder for you to cry on.
That is, if she feels you deserve that kindness.
Because of what she's been through, Charlotte is ruthless beneath the soft, friendly exterior. If you cross her or do something she deems "unforgivable" -- which is anything that falls within the realm of abuse -- she will not hesitate to tear you apart, both figuratively and literally. Most vampires are cats. Charlotte is a lioness. She is sweet to her cubs, but she'll claw the enemy lion that threatens them to bloody ribbons.
Charlotte is a very observant woman, and a very curious one, at that. She's learned the art of manipulation and cunning from the best. She doesn't like picking people apart at the seams, but she knows just how to, should the need ever arise.

RANK:: Seventh Full Moon and Head of the Vampire Council
POWERS::
WEAKNESSES::
HOMETOWN:: Bellerose, France, where her family name derives from
PROFESSION:: Head of the vampire council
PARENTS:: Jean Bellerose (father), Angélique Bellerose (mother)
SIBLINGS:: Several, all of which have been forgotten both by time and by her. There were at least five, and three were sisters. She was the eldest.
CHILDREN:: There were four human children. None made it. She considers her current vampire progeny, Gavin, her fifth and only living son.
EXTENDED FAMILY:: Some, all of higher status than her.
MARITAL STATUS:: Widowed by Ramsay Gerard Fairborn, currently single
HISTORY:: Charlotte was born to Jean Bellerose, an upjump lord with small holdings and smaller hopes for the future, considering the kind of atmosphere that was in France at the time, and his wife, Angélique. Her best hope was the marry rich or otherwise above her station and whelp a few children that might remember grandpa fondly and throw him a bone or two. And in the first requirement, she was lucky: when she was just fourteen, a visiting British lord by the name of Ramsay Fairborn took a liking to her. He was from a very rich and very old family, and he had not even squandered his wealth. It was only a fortnight before the two were betrothed, another couple of weeks before they were married.
And then, Charlotte's luck turned sour.
Their marriage was not happy by any means. England was new and somewhat strange to Charlotte, but that wasn't it. It was her new husband's... temper, along with his fondness for drink. It was small things, when she first got there. She would do something wrong, and he would frown, make a small remark that insulted her intelligence with a masque of concern. But then his reactions got worse. She might drop something, and instead of a simple insult, he would scream at her in a drunken rage. It built and built, until the first time he struck her, and after that, there was no turning back.
He impregnated the girl four times, each time taking her against her will, but it never stuck. She only carried one child to term, a little baby boy, but he was stillborn. She would have named him Jean, after her father, had she ever had the chance.
Charlotte eventually submitted herself to her husband, letting all her will and life drain out of her. She told herself it would be better off that way; that everyone would be happier that way. In those days, she never considered her own happiness.
But then, there was a small glimmer of hope.
A dark-skinned, perfectly beautiful woman named Ashanti came to her bedroom in the middle of the night. Charlotte's husband was off somewhere, drinking or gambling. Charlotte was not afraid of the stranger; she hardly felt anything, she didn't have it in her to feel fear. Ashanti saw this, and took pity. Instead of feeding, she befriended the woman. Then... then, they became something more. After a year, when Charlotte was seventeen, Ashanti offered her the Gift.
Charlotte slaughtered her husband after her turning, then she and Ashanti fled to America, never looking back.
Over the years, she sired one child, a man named Gavin who, though prone to sulks and sadness, is very good at heart. She was pulled onto the council some time after Ashanti, and now she heads it, trying to make sure to lead her race in the right direction.

LIKES::
- Gavin; he's adorable, when he's not in one of his sulky moods.
- Her follow council members.
- The vampire race in general, who she calls her "children", even if she is a very young vampire.
- Small children.
- Being a mother.
DISLIKES::
- When people get in her way.
- When people dare to underestimate her. She makes sure they learn their lesson thoroughly.
- Having to get her hands dirty, but she'll do it if necessary.
- Abusers. If she runs across them, she sees to it that they get what they deserve.
- Violence. But she will gladly partake in it if she must.
STRENGTHS::
- She's very good at being a good mother.
- She's a good listener and confidante.
- She's much stronger, both physically and emotionally, than she looks.
- She will take no one's shit. She is finished with that business.
- She is determined and almost always gets what she wants.
WEAKNESSES::
- Sometimes she can be too stubborn for her own good.
- "Curiosity killed the cat", as they say, and she is ever so curious.
- When pushed too far, she will lash out violently. Thankfully, this takes a good bit of pushing, so it almost never happens to people that don't deserve it.
- She has a weakness for fae blood, when she can get a hold of it.
- She has a tendency to over-analyze.
SECRETS:: She slaughtered her husband after she was turned for the crimes he committed against her. She did not "turn" Gavin herself; she found him drained to the point of death and gave him her blood to save him out of pity.
