When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: Blonde
Height and Weight: 5'5", 135lbs
Other Distinguishing Features: Her hair can frequently be found tied back into a bow.
Overall Appearance:
Charlotte stands at about 5'5" and weighs approximately 135 lbs. She's shorter than her brother, but is certainly able to keep up with him nonetheless. her blonde hair falls down to her mid back, and she usually wears a bow in her hair, often a purple or red color. Her clothes vary with the times, with her usually following the fashions of the time (with the exception of when she fought in wars in the past and had to disguise herself, of course).

Strengths:
Headstrong - Charlotte is very headstrong about her beliefs when she sets her mind to it. Obviously, she can't do things that she literally can't do, but she'll try her hardest to accomplish what she can do.
Loyalty - If she feels loyalty to someone, you can bet that she'll stand by them to the end. Thus far, though, Gage is the only one to earn this uninterrupted, though others have built it up over the years (and one person in particular built it up, lost it, then built it up again...I think we can all guess who).
Well-mannered - As with most of her strengths, this is to a point. If she feels that you deserve it, she'll give you a nice slice of Southern hospitality. If not? well, she can get quite vicious, but we'll get to that later.
Weaknesses:
Cigarettes - Charlotte is addicted, specifically Camels, which are produced in her state. She's cut down recently, but she still smokes about a pack a day, and shows no sign of stopping any time soon.
Petty - She's the type to hold grudges and not let them go for years. She still holds grudges against several of the northern states, especially one green-haired female. Much like her brother, really.
Bad sense of direction - On a less serious note, Charlotte is extremely bad at giving and following directions. She's not the one that you want to leave with a map. She already lost one settlement. =P
Fears:
Losing her brother - Charlotte never wants to lose Gage. She's not afraid to take a different course than him (sticking with the union for nearly half a year after her brother seceded, only seceding when she was called on to attack him), but she never wants to actually lose him. It would be devastating for her. There's a reason why the two of them together are called the Carolinas.
Hurricanes - She's been hit by enough hurricanes that she knows NOT to look forward to them whenever they come her way.
Secrets:
She's fought in plenty of wars, like most of the states, but ever since flight came into play, she's insisted on joining roles in the military that involve flying. Most think it's a coincidence, but it's not. And, of course, until recently, she disguised herself as a male.
Any Quirks/Habits:
- Smoking, as mentioned before. If she's feeling particularly uneasy about something, she'll be even more likely to start puffing away
- She likes picking fights sometimes for the sake of picking fights
Overall Personality:
The Carolinas are a duo, and it shows almost immediately. The two do have a lot in common. They both have issues with authority, a tendency to hold grudges, and a penchant for causing trouble. It's also pretty clear that they both care for each other, and feel a certain loyalty toward the other.
That said, they do have their differences (other than the obvious gender ones and the fact that one is North Carolina and one is South). While Gage tends to be more rash in his decisions, Charlotte is more likely to sit and stew until she's pushed to the breaking point or makes a decision one way or the other. Both are hot-headed, they just express it in different ways. That said, her brother is extremely important to her. If she feels that someone is after him, she'll step in in his defense, and she expects the same out of him. When she puts her mind to something, she can be a fierce competitor, and can step into the leadership position if it's called for. There's a reason for the saying "First at Bethel, Farthest at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and Last at Appomattox," after all.
