OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Charlotte is not considered a handsome woman, her eyes are large and very light blue which has the tendency to unnerve people, she's quite thin, somewhat underfed, short and more often than not, quite shabby, making her look unstable and very unapproachable.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS:
Charlotte can wash clothes, cook a little, she enjoys walking and has found it useful in delivering messages for extra coin if she can fins someone willing to trust a poor, single woman to deliver their messages. Also, if given the materials, she's a natural artist, and, despite her usually very surly demeanor can see the beauty in things if she's drawing them.
MAGICAL SKILLS:
n/a
WEAKNESSES:
She's neurotic, obsessive, she's too hard on herself and her own sex. She's hot headed and cold, tends to make snide remarks which is out of her place. She'll get herself into trouble without a second thought and has suffered lashings for it more than once.
STRENGTHS:
She's strong and brave (although, on occasion, verging on complete idiocy). She is unexpectedly kind, especially seeing as she hasn't the means to give charity, She's a revolutionist, and believes in the power of upcoming technologies, but also loves magic more than anything. She'll take risks and lives without fear or regret. Charlotte also loves wholly and feircly, those whom she is close to.
QUIRKS & HABITS:
She bites her lip, especially when she's got something in mind she knows she shouldn't say, she rolls her eyes, very often when exasperated or frustrated. Charlotte is always completely fascinated by books, though if caught looking at them she becomes angry and embarrassed because she was never taught to read.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION:
She's extremely full on, she's opinionated, stupid at times, prideful and has a fierce drive to survive and be heard. She's a hard worker but isn't afraid to draw a line (even though she should be).
She's a romantic at heart, she loves art and stories, she loves to learn and to know things, she'll wear her heart on her sleeve and lets herself feel everything as it comes and completely.

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Charlotte grew up in a small, poverty stricken mining town with her mother and father. Her father is a coal miner and her mother runs a laundry for the wealthier members of the town. Her younger sister Elizabeth was arranged to be married to the son of the wealthiest merchant in town, and became the bell of their family, Elizabeth, taller and prettier than Charlotte was always a selfish and cruel creature.
It became, as Charlotte got older, evident she had no desire to marry and she became a strain on her family financially, at seventeen she was put on the streets and very nearly starved to death.
Living off handouts, she was taken in by a young miner named Peter, who helped her even though he was struggling too, but she earned her keep and in time he proposed to her.
Peter was a wizard, one of the reasons he was able to live and support himself. It was eight months before her trusted her enough to tell her about magic and she fell in love with magic on the spot.
Charlotte accepted his marriage proposal, and they set the date quickly, two days later a mine exploded and he was killed.
Charlotte was driven out of the property by his older brother and put to the streets again, she left the town, her lengthy stay with Peter was highly inappropriate and she wasn't respected at all in town, she was penny less and utterly heartbroken and she hitchhiked to the city to find work.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
Charlotte had forgotten the heartbreak of Peter's death. It was years ago now, seven, actually and she'd been through so much in that time. She'd had to do things, terrible things for food and passage to get to the city. She'd taken beatings, been strung up by her wrists and lashed for her sharp tongue, publically humiliated, skipped town again. Find a job where your knuckles knock against the washboard twelve hours a day and all you can afford for dinner is stale bread and some cheese, maybe, if she kept her mouth shut and her head down like a good servant should.
Charlotte lied, Peter's death still heart the most, she just liked to pretend she'd forgotten. When acking, bruised knuckles and horrid twisting hunger pains were the only pains she felt it was a good day.
There was no worse sound than bones rattling across a washboard. Her knuckles were sore and red and swollen from the abuse they took six days a week, you didn't work Sundays, was the Lord's way, of course Charlotte resented any man that told her what to do.
It was the biggest bit of the reason her back was tight from thick, rope-like scars, why these cheap laundries were the only jobs she got, why she couldn't stay in one place for long, Charlotte was not what one called 'high society'.
