Name:Charlotte Lachance
Age:19
Gender:Female
Appearance:Charlotte is a fairly average sized girl. She stands roughly at a fairly good height of 5'5", though she wishes she was taller sometimes. Physically speaking, she's not too impressive - she's more of a bookish intelligent sort, or at least she
attempts to be anyways. Her somewhat childish tendencies get in the way of that sometimes.
She has bright amber colored eyes and lush, long blonde hair that she keeps neatly cut to hang just below her shoulders. She says she takes great care in maintaining it, and uses her own personal blend of herbs and other things for shampoo and conditioners. Most of the time, she wears a purple and white dress that hangs just below her waist, with long black stockings that cover her legs. She can often be seen wearing a cloak, even in the summer as well.
Personality:Charlotte is mostly friendly towards others, though she can be rash at times and is a fair bit sarcastic. She can come off as a bit mean to those who don't know her that well because of it. Stubborn and willful to a fault, she has a hard time of letting things go, and if someone has wronged her in some way, she'll often make sure to get them back for it. Or at least try too. If she fails, she'll just keep going until she succeeds. Thankfully, most of her 'getting back at' is just harmless little pranks, like pour a potion that is supposed to turn someones skin blue into their tea. If presented with a challenge, she doesn't stop until she has succeed it. Often times, this can get in the way of her own health - staying up for days on end or forgetting to eat are just a few of the things she's forgone when extremely focused on something.
However, she is far from mean or being hateful - in fact, she likes to think she's a fairly open minded and caring individual. She'll help any who ask her for something, free of charge and without any sort of compensation on her end - well, unless she has some beef with you or something. Then you should probably apologize first - but even then if its something really important she'd likely help regardless. She likes being by herself mostly - just her books, her cauldron, and maybe some quiet company. She doesn't like loud, distracting noises. She often goes for walks into the forest, looking for things that could possibly help her become better at what she does.
She dreams of being a master potion maker, creating all sorts of useful things for everyone in any profession. She can make simple medicines and some relaxing herbal teas currently, but nothing ground breaking. She's come to Sugar Pine in an effort to change that. The forest and other natural climate will greatly help in her research.
Oh, and maybe if she could find a
test subject volunteer to help her, that'd be great too. She'll pay them, too!
she's gotta get rid of those duds somehow.Bio:Charlotte's life hasn't been a terribly interesting one. She was born in some small country town out in the middle of nowhere as the only child to a farmer and a doctor. She had a relatively quiet life growing up, and almost always spent her time reading books of some sort, mostly avoiding the other kids in the area - usually helping out her father on his farm, or her mother with her work. Not because she was shy, she simply would rather spend time reading or doing other things that she thought was more productive. Add that to the fact she liked spending time in the forest alone - often bringing back odds and ends from it.
This earned the young kid a bit of a questionable reputation. She wasn't hated, really, but rumors started and people started to avoid her. It was around when she was fifteen, a traveler got wind of these rumors and visited her. He claimed to be an alchemist, a traveling scholar of sorts. He could teach her to put her skills to use - her parents of course refused but being the stubborn brat she was, she started meeting this traveler in secret. He tutored her for a few years, until she was 18 until he simply upped and left one morning with nothing more than a note and a promise that if she became good at what she did, they'd see each other again eventually.
Packing up her things, she left home without a word to anyone and decided to move to Sugar Pine, where she could be closer to a lush forest with properties she thinks could help her achieve her goals.
Profession:Alchemist/Potion Seller. Runs the shop right out of her home, located close to Garlwood Forest. Most of the time she's there, or out in the forest collecting things.
She sells a variety of semi-helpful potions and medicines to people if they want it. Their effectiveness is often...questionable, however. She desperately seeks to improve her skills though.
Inventory:Usually carries various potions on her.
Surprisingly warm cloak.
Journal - contains research notes and sketches of interesting plants.
Other:- What is love?
Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more.Charlotte has no idea what the mystical concept of 'love' even is. One will need to be direct. Really direct.
That said, she's also probably not going to be too picky about someones gender, if she does in fact finally figure out this mystical force called 'love'.
- Can be quite childish at times.
She likes donning a mask and wearing her cloak to pretend to be a superhero sometimes.
-Would like to move to a city made of ice cream.
She loves sweets. Any kind, but loves cold sweet things.
-Philosophers stone, anyone?
It may be a long shot, but she has toyed with the idea of somehow making some sort of life extending elixir. What self-respecting alchemist wouldn't?
-Likes doodling.
Really, though she likes drawing sketches of things. She's far from an artist, but if she sees an interesting ingredient, she'll make a sketch of it. She plans to eventually catalog every plant, insect, fungus and everything in the forest.
-New in town.
She only moved into town in the last month or so, so she doesn't entirely know her way around yet, or that many people for that matter. Anyone who shows her around would probably get a lot of brownie points with her.
