"Well, this is new to me."

- Charlotte

Charlotte Cerise is a student of Shade Academy and a member of Team APCT. She is also the partner of Tynan Obsianus.

Appearance
Charlotte is a young girl with above-average height and build, long, flowing, crimson hair, and lilac eyes. She possesses a very lean figure, with long, slender legs and a slim waist. She dons a scarlet sweater, white crop top, ripped denim shorts, ripped black leggings, and scarlet trainers. Her symbol, a butterfly spreading its wings, can be seen on the back of her sweater.

Personality
Charlotte is an adventurous, carefree individual who doesn't know too much about society and its standards, as her parents sheltered her from the world. She is never afraid to try something new, and is always willing to learn. Although she can seem incredibly awkward in terms of socializing, she means well and just wants to make new friends. She is also incredibly ticklish, something she never knew until she joined Team APCT.

Weapons and Abilities
Charlotte wields Free Spirit, a pair of scarlet rollerblades with sharpened wheels capable of slicing through steel. They provide her plenty of mobility, allowing her to avoid attacks and retaliate quickly, and, when combined with her semblance, can be used to scale cliff faces and perform complete loops. The weapons also possess a launching mechanism that fires disks that are either bladed, explosive, or simply concussive.

Semblance
Charlotte's semblance, Defiant, allows her to defy natural laws. She can pass through solid objects and can move while completely unaffected by gravity and friction. This, in combination with her rollerblades, can allow her to skate on walls or even upside down. This, in turn, makes her movements incredibly unpredictable.

Background
Charlotte was born and raised in Atlas. Her parents were of high social status and pampered her. However, whenever Charlotte asked them about the outside world, they refused to tell her anything about it. She was their only heir, so it was pivotal to them that they protect her from outside forces, such as the White Fang. However, this left Charlotte unable to socialize and make friends, as she was always surrounded by bodyguards. However, after several years of constant sheltering, she managed to run away from home without anyone noticing her disappearance. Wandering about Remnant, she eventually eventually came across Vacuo's prestigious Shade Academy. Desiring to become a Huntress and see the world, she immediately enrolled.

Trivia

 * Charlotte's given name rhymes with scarlet, hence her color scheme.
 * Her last name, O'Haire, refers to Rapunzel, as they both have long hair and lived sheltered lives.
