Charlotte

## Overview

Charlotte le Reine is the daughter of Aria le Reine and Crown Princess of the Queendom of Women. She is a Circle of the Moon Druid, with the ability to do partial transformations into creatures. Charlotte first appears in Session 1, where she is one of the first characters that the party meets on their adventure, saving them from being stampeded at The Church of New Beginnings in Koyoba. Charlotte would initially hide her royalty to the party, until Marshal Druis would reveal her identity to the party. Charlotte would join the party and Ren on their first mission, to disperse a bandit camp outside the city of Koyoba. She would later join the party on their journey to the Tiefling Archipelago and later The Free City of Legacy. She would provide her aid to the party in their fight against Inquisitor Monty, flying up to a glacier and, using bombs James had made, cause an avalanche, buying them time to escape. She would be ordered to remain at the 5 Phases Guild Headquarters during the events of The Battle of the Throne Room. Charlotte would soon after receive notice that she was to be recalled to The Queendom of Women, by order of her mother. This fact would dwell on her mind, feeling conflicted, having grown fond of the people she had met in Sernasso along with the friends she had made as an adventurer. During the grand ball to celebrate the victory over the nobles, Charlotte would attempt to mask her depression, quite literally holding back tears the entire time. It would be here where Serene would offer her a dance. In that moment, all her doubts and fears vanished, and she embraced who she was and what she would do. She would return home, but on her terms, not as crown princess, but as a member of the heroes party. She would soon after set off with Bishop Black for Medo, where they would once again meet up with Serene and the other heroes, aiding in their fight against the Antificer Terminator. She and Bishop would join up with the party after the fight, pledging their aid in bringing peace to Medo.

## Backstory

Born Charlotte Cassia le Reine, only daughter of Aria le Reine, Queen of The Queendom of Women, young Charlotte had everything she ever wanted, the finest clothes, the best schooling & enough servants to fill a small village. However, despite having everything, she desired to be free. She admired birds because of their ability to fly, seeing it as the ultimate form of freedom, she would long to be as free as them. She would also read stories of happy families, where the parents would be present in their children's lives, but not for Charlotte. Her mother always remained distant, focused on maintaining the stability of The Queendom of Women, she hardly ever made time for her daughter. At the age of 16, Charlotte would be awoken in the middle of the night by one of her servants, urging her to get dressed and grab what she could. Charlotte complied, and was spirited away into the night and out of the city. She was confused and scared, what was happening, why was she running? She would soon find herself in a port city, boarding a fancy ship bound for an unknown land. as she entered her cabin, there was a letter on the desk, written from her mother. It explained that The Gemini Imperator, one of The Immortal Warlords had laid claim to her throne and was starting a war that certainly would tear The Queendom of Women apart. For her own safety, she was sending Charlotte to the court of the new King of Sernasso. Charlotte would tear the letter to pieces. She refused to go to the court of some old man and once again be a pretty bird in a fancy cage. She would fly off into the night, crossing a great body of water. She would fly for what felt like weeks, following other birds. Eventually Charlotte would get lost in a storm and separated from the birds who were guiding her to land. The storm would violently throw her around and she would pass out, falling from the sky into the water. She would awaken on the shore of an unfamiliar land. Charlotte would walk, wounded, towards a large city in the distance. As she approached the gate, she would collapse, being helped to her feet by guards. Their leader would notice the signet ring on her finger, recognizing it as the sigil of the le Reine family. She would immediately be rushed to the cities healers, where she would spend several days recovering. When Charlotte was well enough to speak, the man who had brought her to the healers paid her a visit. He introduced himself as Marshal Druis, head of The Grand Army of Sernasso. He had explained that her ship was expected 2 months ago, but had never arrived. As it turns out, the same storm that had knocked Charlotte out, had sunk the ship she would have been on, killing all hands. Furthermore, she came to the realization that she was unconscious for 2 months. Emotions flooded into her, feeling guilt over not being able to save anyone. After a few more days of recovery, Charlotte was summoned before the King. Expecting some decrepit old man, gilded with the finest regalia, she was surprised to see a young man, not much older than her, wearing a military uniform, with a modest gold wreath atop his head. At his hip, a sword with a lion hilt. He introduced himself a Leopold Clause, and explained that as of that moment, she was free to do as she wished as his guest. It would be in that moment that Charlotte would vow to live as freely as she could, living by her rules, not others. Charlotte was no longer a pretty bird in a fancy cage, she now had her first steps of freedom, and she loved it.
