Charlotte occupies a bit of a unique place in the Keepers in that she is neither WinterWidow inspired nor completely original. Instead, Charlotte's inspiration is Captain America. What superhero team is complete without a time-displaced World War survivor? Other pieces of her inspiration were the AP World History class I was taking at the time, in which we were talking about WWI, and my long-standing love of the flapper aesthetic. These disparate parts come together to form Charlotte, unashamed bisexual flapper out of time.

## Appearance

### Simple Appearance

Charlotte has a short, curly bob cut for her auburn hair. Her eyes are green and there is a thin stripe of brown in her right eye. Her fair skin is littered with freckles and she has a mischievous smile.

### Detailed Appearance

Charlotte’s auburn hair is styled in a short, curly bob, one of the few things that remain unchanged from her original time. The curls frame her face in a flattering way, each very bouncy and defined. Her hair has a natural shine and is well maintained. Charlotte has striking green eyes and partial heterochromia, a thin stripe of brown in her right eye. Her eyes are bright and expressive. Charlotte’s face lets her emotions be a completely open book to anyone who cares to look. She has fair skin littered with freckles. She has high cheekbones and a small but pointed nose. She has a mischievous smile and a slim, athletic build. Her unapologetic personality bleeds into her appearance in the graceful way she carries herself. Though she has begun wearing more modern clothes, Charlotte keeps a piece of 1927 with her in the form of her mother’s pearl necklace.

Charlotte of course favors clothing from her time period, but given how hard it is to get things from the 20s, she settles. She likes the bold colors and patterns of the 70s and 80s and has embraced thrifting with her whole heart. Her favorite outfit is a pair of acid wash jeans with a blue shirt and pale pink cardigan, frequently worn with a pair of Converse. She usually wears a headband of some kind, which was fashionable in both the 20s and the 70s, so it's extra appealing to her.

## Background

### Childhood

Charlotte was born on January 28, 1909, in New York City. She had an older brother, Samuel, who was four years older than her. Despite the age gap, Charlotte and Samuel ended up being very close. Her mother, Florence Edwards, was 26 at the time of Charlotte's birth, but turned 27 shortly afterward. Since their birthdays were only two weeks apart, Florence and Charlotte ended up doing something fun together in the time between them all through Charlotte's childhood. Her father, Franklin Edwards, was an electrician.

The family lived in New York City for all of Charlotte's life. There was almost always work for her father, since it was a big city, but he was occasionally given jobs a little farther from home to help spread the invention. Charlotte loved going down to the docks with her mother and brother and watching the ships. She always found the boats interesting.

Charlotte was five years old when war broke out in Europe. 1914 marked the start of World War 1, though it wasn't called that at the time. Despite Florence's pleading, Franklin volunteered to go join the Allied army in the summer of 1915. Charlotte was six years old at the time and didn't understand why her father was leaving, but he was certainly leaving and moreover, he was leaving on a boat. Charlotte still thought boats were very cool.
