**Charlotte Edwards**, also known by her nickname **Little Wolf**,is a main character who was born after the outbreak in *The Walking Dead by EDStudios* and returning as an adult main character in the '*New Age*' Extension. She is the older sister of Dominic Edwards and the first-born child of Harry Edwards and Bethany.

Raised in a privileged and yet demanding life in AAFB, Charlotte grew up inspired and protected by her father. Like her brother, she was taught how to defend herself from a very early age but took on a stance focussed on peace and diplomacy rather than violence and war, unlike her brother. During the war with the Fear, she hardened quite considerably. She decided to become more proficient with weapons with aspirations to fight alongside her father despite her young age. Her life was changed shortly after her father returned from his year-long imprisonment on the USS *Abraham Lincoln*when she was kidnapped by Marco and his band of cannibals. Although her father found her, Charlotte committed her first murder, losing her innocence forever.

After the fall of the Government, Charlotte was kidnapped by Antony Eden and saved her father's life during his battle with the evil President, becoming famous for delivering the killing shot herself.

In the next eighteen years, as her brother started his own family, Charlotte discovered she could never have children. In her late twenties, she completed her mandatory service in the military and decided to become a diplomat to the west. When war broke out against the New Buckingham Corps, Charlotte became the leader of Prescott, charged with safeguarding the New North from attacks by the Corps.

## Overview

As a youth, Charlotte is shown to be inquisitive and acts far beyond her age.

## Post-Apocalypse

### Season 19

#### 'The White Wolf'

Edwards climbs up to the roof of the control tower, where Bethany is watching over the community. The two embrace and Edwards says that, with a piece of his own past dead, he is more aware than ever how short life can be, how quickly the end could come, and he isn't sure how much longer they have together and he wants to make every second count. He then places an engagement ring into her hand, and she happily says yes. Bethany then says that she has a surprise for him and places his hand on his stomach. Edwards stumbles back in shock, before chuckling with happiness.

### Season 20

Charlotte was born during the 10-month time skip between *Season 19* and *Season 20*.

## Relationships

### Harry Edwards

"*You see, Little Wolf? The dead ones can't get to you. You know why? **Cause daddy is gonna protect you**. And cause you're gonna be **stronger** than them, **smarter** than them, **faster** than them. I'm gonna protect you by teaching you to protect yourself. You're gonna be a total badass,*"
—Charlotte's father to his newborn daughter[src]
Charlotte is very close to her father and idolizes him; he affectionately calls her "Little Wolf", a nickname used by her entire extended family. She likes to hear stories from her adoptive aunts and uncles about her father's life in the apocalypse's early days, which he largely refuses to tell her. She further grew close to her father as she herself hardened to the world around her.

### Dominic Edwards

> *"**You're** my hero, sis,"*

As brother and sister, Charlotte and Dominic have a good relationship, although Dominic holds some minor resentment towards her for how differently their father treated them: Charlotte received the more caring, closer part of their father, while Dominic received the colder, ex-military side.

### Alex Junior

Charlotte and AJ are not seen interacting much, sharing only a few scenes together. However, it is shown they are close and care for each other.

### Carl McKenzie

### Drew Stanton

"*You're strong, Little Wolf. Stronger than any of us. Stronger than me. Maybe even your papa. [...] I know you're not afraid. I think I am. But at least I know you'll be back here protecting them,*"
—Drew to Charlotte before the Battle of the Capital[src]
Charlotte and Drew have a good friendship, with Charlotte considering him an uncle due to his close relationship with her father. In her early years, however, Charlotte barely knew Drew, mostly due to him living in the wilderness during her formative years. She even appears frightened of him when he returns to the Capital.
