She was dropped from the series after *Samurai Shodown II* but, like Tam Tam and Jubei Yagyu, she returns in *Samurai Shodown IV*.

## Storyline

### Biographies

In chronological order.

* **Samurai Shodown V:** *Charlotte boards the Japan-bound ship, part of a group from France sent to scout the prospects for gaining ground in Asia. But Charlotte's reasons for beign on board are basic: she simply wishes to broaden her view of the world around her.*
* **Samurai Shodown '19** (prologue): *Having survived the chaos in Japan, Charlotte is returning to her troubled homeland of France when she hears that Japan has once again become paralyzed by the blight of evil. Charlotte believes that the cause of the disturbance in both lands is one and the same, and decides to return to Japan once more in oder to bring peace to the benighted countries.*
* **Samurai Shodown:** *A female fencer from France, she's strong-willed and absolutely fearless with a weapon in hand. She roams the French countryside to investigate a series of calamities and put her abilities to the test. In spite of her noble background, she's most at home among the peeps.*
* **Samurai Shodown II:** *The painter of the picture of the battle with Amakusa, as if possessed by something, suddenly starts to produce a picture of a malformed being never before seen in this world. Charlotte surmises Ambrosia has a hand in this, so she sets out to settle things once and for all with the goddess.*
* **Samurai Shodown IV:** *Sensing her homeland's at threat, Charlotte once again heads for Japan to investigate the peril.*
* **Samurai Shodown Sen** (alternative timeline): *France was in political disarray and consumed by the rebellion. Warring parties struggled against each other until the royalist faction finally gained the upper hand against the civil army with the aid of a mysterious group. As a fighter in the civil army, Charlotte undertook a mission to uncover the nature of the secretive group and the information she discovered was startling. He sources pointed to a small island in the East as the location of the group, so the blonde swordwoman took up arms and departed for Japan...*
