Charlotte

**Charlotte Leonold** is a potential character in *Universal Rides* and *Adventure Squad*. She is Carmen and Seymour's fraternal triplet, and later succeeds Ella as the second user of **Mechanobeast 10**.

## Biography

Charlotte, like her siblings, was born by complete accident, Lysander having built her body simply to practice building technology. She only came to life after an equipment malfunction resulted in the same conditions that gave birth to Thomas, scanning the Lavern family's remaining human DNA as part of the mix. While the triplets were welcomed and accepted as part of the Sudrian community, Tom and Lysander elected to hold off on giving them identifying features until they properly developed as individuals. As such, they were only referred to by their signature eye colors. Charlotte was later named for her far more mature nature, and was later given her current labels. After Ella's demise, Charlotte replaced her as the user of Mechanobeast 10, and as the alpha of the Mechanobeasts.

## Personality

Despite being what can only be called a newborn, Charlotte is notably mature for her age, acting very much like an adult at times. That being said, however, she is very much an infant by technicality, and as such still remains as childish as her siblings and peers.

As technically the eldest of her siblings, a status she shares with Tori, Charlotte is very protective of them, and the both of them are similarly laid-back. She also very much looks up to him and his siblings, and much like them she can be violent and brutal when prompted.

## Appearance

Charlotte is based on a six-ton 0-4-2 crane tank built by the Vulcan Locomotive Works for the now-defunct Oudh and Rohilkund Railway in India. She has numerous modifications in comparison to the real design, in that she has a different set of coupling rods, she has guard irons on her bufferbeams, she has a set of tanks between her driving and trailing wheels, her cab is fully enclosed, she has a central column where her crane is mounted, she has a well tank, and she has a more robust trailing truck. Most notably, Charlotte is standard gauge, unlike the real locomotive, and she is an oil burner, meaning she has a tall set of fuel tanks behind her cab surrounding her crane, which is a hydraulically-powered telescoping model instead of the real locomotive's short and fixed-distanced steam crane.

Much like Carmen, Charlotte has complete heterochromia; her left eye is purple, which she shares with her siblings, while her right eye is yellow. While her eyes retain these colors under normal circumstances, Charlotte at her angriest will instead sport "Killer Eyes"; her pupils become purple, her irises become all black, and her scleras turn yellow with red bloodshot veins. Unlike her default eyes, the "Killer Eyes" affect both of her eyes in the same way, making her eyes symmetrical.

When she was born, Charlotte was painted a plain grey with a red bufferbeam and footplate and silver coupling rods. After receiving her name, she was painted charcoal black with royal blue lining surrounding colored panels, painted in yellow. Her footplate and wheels are also painted black, while her coupling rods are now red. Her crane itself is painted yellow with a black wheelhouse and blue side bolts, while a blue stripe can be seen on the side of all three segments of her crane arm. Her hook is painted royal blue, while the NWR lettering on the side of her wheelhouse uses the same shade over a red drop shadow. She has silver nameplates in the center of her side tanks, while her number is painted on the side of her cab in royal blue with red trim.

## Mech

Carmen's Guardian of Nature mech is the exact same one used by Ella, though it was overhauled as part of the transfer.

## Notes

* Much like her siblings, Charlotte's colors and number are references to *Kamen Rider W*, the former representing three of the titular hero's main 4 Joker forms (HeatJoker was omitted to avoid overloading the family's already extensive list of red-colored members) and the latter representing the series' numerical statistic within the franchise. In Charlotte's case, her yellow and royal blue colors evoke the LunaJoker and LunaTrigger forms, while her number represents the series' status as the 11th *Kamen Rider* television series of the Heisei era.
