**Charlotte Itzji** is an Inkling created and roleplayed by Ladybugfan77. After Grizz' defeat, she took to Grizzco as a side hustle to her job as a full-time student and nearly full-time private eye, allowing her to get ahold of a pair of Grizzco Dualies outside of wildcard rotations. She's a new hire in the Meep Team, so she's a little inexperienced, but her knack for solving cases make her, at least in her opinion, a welcome addition.

*"It's nice to meet you, fellas. I'll crack whatever case you throw at me."* - Charlotte, upon her entry in the SalmonFest thread

## Personality

Charlotte is, as her creator puts it, "what happens when you give a plucky teenage girl the speaking mannerisms, thought process, and curiosity of a 1920s private eye". She is plucky, optimistic, and often cheerful, and she uses this optimism to keep a clear head when tackling cases. This optimism, however, can allow her to be naive. She's often friendly towards others, including Cora, her counterpart on the Moop Team. This is especially shown with her bond with Harpy Neptune, whom she babysits, as well as Harpy's aunt Misty.

If she reaches her tipping point, however, she tends to lose her temper. She becomes loud, furious, and rude, hurling insults at whoever the source of her anger is. She sees red and is unable to focus on anything but whatever's angering her, and only an outlet of verbal rage will calm her down. She knows how nasty she is when angered, and as such, tries to be as tolerant as possible.

## Early Life

#### Pre-Inkopolis

Not much is known about Charlotte's life before heading to Inkopolis. She keeps the details of her backstory quite vague, saying that "every good detective needs to be mysterious". She will not say anything about her parents or family life, and it's implied that her family abandoned her at a young age on the streets. She was taken in by the employees of a local police precinct. Watching the work of the officers around her in the precinct sparked her love of detective work and her insatiable desire to solve crimes and mysteries.

#### Inkopolis Square

Charlotte moved to Inkopolis at 14 years old. She lives in an apartment provided to her by one of the officers she grew up with, and that's where she goes to school, and more importantly, does her detective work. She is a regular at Grizzco, especially following her role in taking down Mr. Grizz and stopping his plants to fuzzyfy the whole world, as she loves the aspect of collaboration. Her fights against Salmonids are not out of malice, however; she knows that Salmonids believe that their greatest honor is to die, so she believes that she's providing them that honor whenever they're ready. She also uses it as an opportunity to see a companion of hers. When she isn't doing that, she chats with and feeds the Salmonids, reading to them and showing them artifacts from Inkopolis Square.

#### Joining the Team

*"Charlotte Itzji, budding private detective, at your service!"* - Charlotte's introduction to the rest of the Meep Team

Charlotte was hired for her excellent investigative skills. She works as the Meep Team's detective, piecing together mysteries whenever asked and joining the Meep Team on missions.

## Appearance

Charlotte has somewhat light brown skin, olive eyes, and the Hippie hairstyle, which is neatly cut and brushed. Her ears are pierced, though she doesn't wear earrings except on special occasions. She wears the Bowler Hat, the Forge Octarian Jacket (which is ironed out every morning to prevent wrinkles), and the Black Trainers, as well as capri sweatpants. Her ink color matches the color Salmonids use, hinting to her bond with them.

## Trivia

* Her creator has to use a list of 1920s phrases and idioms when writing her dialogue. It's for period accuracy, y'know.

* Her companion is a Horrorboros named Torrent, after the thin jet stream of water.
* She has absolutely no idea that her companion's Salmonid royalty.
* Her name is a reference to the substance charcoal, while her counterpart Cora's name is a reference to coral.
* Her color scheme being mostly gray and black is a play on words; it represents her "film-noir" aesthetic.
* However, the little splashes of color on her design (the buttons and stitching on her coat, the gold on her hat, and the pink on her shoes) hint at her more colorful, friendly side.
* She's 17, goes by she/her, and is aromantic.
* Unlike the stereotypical detectives she's based on, she does not drink coffee. She prefers hot cocoa.
* Her favorite food is calzones.
