## History

 *This section is incomplete. You can help improve this article by expanding it.*
Princess Charlotte's birth name is Ange. She was born from an unnamed father and unknown mother. Sometime before the London Revolution broke out, she was a poor and young pickpocket with barely the means to get by. It was then that she met the real Princess Charlotte, also known as the current Ange. The two girls became friends and spent a lot of time together. The then-princess taught the pickpocket all sorts of things, like how to read and write and play the piano.

On the day of the London Revolution, the two girls exchanged places with each other, but got trapped on opposing sides of the wall. Not being able to go back to her own life, and not being able to explain that she was not the true princess since that would have gotten her killed, Princess had to pretend to be part of the Royal Family of Albion. This was highly mentally and physically taxing for her, as she barely knew how to read or write. Nonetheless, she persisted and even ended up becoming one of the most acclaimed pianists in the whole kingdom.

Princess became a spy after joining Team White Pigeon. Her status as princess is very useful to the team, as it helps them gain access to secluded places and speak to people of high society directly.

## Personality

 *This section is incomplete. You can help improve this article by expanding it.*
Princess is a kind, humble and polite girl. She is talented in many different fields, such as dance, piano, and languages. She is popular with the public and a favourite of the Queen. To maintain this perfect exterior, she works and worked very hard, especially seeing how she was not born into royalty.

At times she also shows a mysterious side to herself: she joined a commonwealth spy team, the enemy of her kingdom, for her own goal to become queen and unify the nation.

Dorothy and Ange described her as quite menacing too sometimes, especially when she is angry.

#### Ange le Carré

Ange le Carré is Princess' close childhood friend. They met before the London Revolution, when Ange was still the Princess and accidentally switched places with each other during it. Before the revolution, they spent a large amount of time together playing. Ange had taught Princess how to read and write and play the piano. Despite the reversed circumstances they found themselves in, their reunion was heartfelt and the two continue to be close friends. Both of them are working towards the goal of unifying the country so that they can return to each other's side, and strengthen the bond between them.

It has been shown that after the reunion between the two, Ange seems incapable of lying to the Princess and is unable to refuse her demands. Other members of the White Pigeon team have also pointed out how Ange seems to have a soft spot for the princess, yet are unable to pinpoint exactly why, since they are not aware of their shared history.

When questioned in an interview about whether the girls had any romantic feelings for each other, director Masaki Tachibana said, "For that, I say we leave that up to [the viewer's] imagination. For Ange, she definitely feels friendship and strong feelings of trust. But we didn't interpret it as romantic when we were writing [the series]. However, to split everything into black and white… that's simply no fun. So, I leave that up to [the viewer's] imaginations."  Some staff members, such as animation director Eri Kojima, do ship Ange and Charlotte, as can be seen from their personal fanart.

Ange and Princess do not share the same birthday.  Beatrice once raised the question whether Ange and Princess Charlotte are sisters, which Ange dismissed.
