Charlotte Bell

Christina Bell (Older sister)

**Charlotte "Lottie" Bell** is a young skilled necromancer. It is revealed later on that she is the younger sister of Christina Bell, the head of the House of Bell, and that she also is related to the Baskervilles.

## Personality

Charlotte is a compassionate and kindhearted little girl who truly loves her family and she values even things that previously belonged to one of her relatives, such as her mothers' perfume. Her father, however, never allowed Charlotte to go outside and mingle with the other kids in fear of physical danger, so her only companion in the house was her pet rat, Lefu. Even with the lack of a social life, Charlotte maintains a cheerful attitude.

As a child, Charlotte is often self-centered, and like any child, has hopes and dreams of playing and going on an adventure, easily annoyed if things don't go her way, and having friends. Albeit her concept of "friendship" is initially, adding them to her undead legion. This is the reason why many people called her a cursed child.

Traces of her noble, pampered upbringing are found in the way she talks. Initially, Charlotte is shown to only care about herself and her family, with little to no regard for others. It's revealed that, when she was young, Charlotte often killed animals for fun or curiosity. However, as time passed, Charlotte stopped limiting her compassion merely to her family. When she encountered tormented spirits, she would occasionally help them, namely when she cooked ham for a hungry, little boy.

It is noteworthy that despite witnessing things that are too horrific even for most adults or could drive one to insanity, Charlotte is still able to keep a level head at a very tender age.

Her strange characteristics can be sensed during the story:

* Strangely, Charlotte is completely unaffected by screams and pleas for help. The lack of sympathy for other people, except for her loved ones, may be due to her lack of a social life outside their home.
* The bookshelves in Charlotte's room contain books that are darker in nature for a young girl to read. For example, the Dark Quartet features morbid themes about death and torture.
* There are notes scattered around her father's room. The notes depict her father's observation as Charlotte grows up. It is stated that her father had noticed Charlotte starting to have 'curiosity' about anatomy and death.
* Her mother told her eerie stories before going to sleep.

## Powers and Abilities

**Death Whisper**: Charlotte is able to connect to a supernatural network that broadcasts messages about the deceased or dying, which gives her the capability to hear the voices of people who were murdered or previously died. She can gain advice from the dead, sense/predict the coming death of a person, etc.

**Necromancy**: Charlotte has magical abilities that revolve around manipulating the dead, death and the death-force for good (i.e., resurrecting the dead), evil (in various ways), or neither. She can also communicate with the deceased – by raising them bodily – for the purpose of divination, imparting the means to foretell future events or discover hidden knowledge. This is most frequently depicted as being able to resurrect the dead to varying degrees, from shambling corpses to conscious zombies to even complete Resurrection. She can directly convert the living into the undead, allowing them to bypass conventional durability by turning an opponent into a mindless zombie at her control.

## Relationships
