  1. How I envision Charlotte:
  2. - Fairly mentally well at the beginning, if obviously constantly troubled by something or seeking "something" out. While her patience does slightly erode, it's Feb/Jan's development that truly "unlocks" a potential that she wouldn't have entertained and endorsed otherwise. In a sense, it's a sort of sanity handled through impossibility, or bumblebee logic - you can't chase after dangerous thoughts if you didn't know they were possible at all (because, time, really?)
  3.  
  4. - However, even though she does stay at an apartment littered with plants, this doesn't mean that she stays often in it. If possible, we can have toggleable BG elements that can slowly be added during Charlotte's route to show it being more "lived in" - a book, a radio, etc.
  5.  
  6. - Diana's laziness ("The thing is, he took a good long look in at Erik's mind, and decided he seemed high maintenance. Just a bit. And thirty-year-old Charles was rather...well, rather lazy.) can be taken as a subtle rejection, both from a normal human, but also likely Charlotte being blinded by Diana's potential and elevating her even though she's not exactly saintly and makes no indication to be so besides being generically kind/polite. While incel-ness should be avoided, she likely views it more like a teacher views a student. With Charlotte already being on the edge of dangerous self loathing and the potential to do something about it, she rolls with the punches too quickly. Thus, quick to assume, and always quick to believe.
  7.  
  8. - So she's likely the most gullible of the cast this side of Madison.
  9.  
  10. - Due to Robin keeping an eye on her regardless of route, he likely makes sure that she's at least somewhat accounted for. While he can't force her to keep a job, he can likely offer one at his cafe, or - if we can afford it - a florist. (we can double the bg use with ev!!) Depending on the route and her mental state, her attendance is questionable. Thankfully the owner is surprisingly lenient. It isn't because she's mentally incompetent, but she still has some sort of business or yearning to handle. However, I also see her as fairly disciplined, so she'd at least serve her shifts - especially if the owner is a Nice Old Lady.
  11.  
  12. - While she can be intentionally intimidating and unapologetic like MADISON, her heart is still in the right place. However, while Madison has more qualms about collateral damage and dragging others into a mess, Charlotte is quicker to justify the means for the end. Unlike Madison, she has trouble channeling her ambition, similar to DIANA. While she does inevitably achieve what she wants, I can assume a sense of panic to her.
  13.  
  14. - Distanced from the other characters, similar to FORREST. She isn't fond of vampires yet being one herself, although while Forrest has yet to tap into his "potential" Charlotte likely has many grand deeds in her history. However, this concept of "reaching full contentment" has yet to occur, leading to likely a future in the flower shop only attainable during her route. The Hunter likely doesn't even realize she lives there.
  15.  
  16. - Taste in who she bites: ??? Could likely take it as a form of vigilantism, judge, jury, executioner. That might be hard though, so I could see her hanging around dive bars and such.
  17.  
  18. - While YVONNE tends to focus on flower language and the act of sowing "social" seeds while cultivating both that and an appreciation for beauty, Charlotte is about enjoying a calm activity that has no moral judgment associated with it. Less of a metaphor and more of a small way to find peace and reliability without having full control of them, since I view full control as something she'd disdain. Even her grasping of "control" is focused more on her own agency, even though by the time of April's main story confrontation
