Charlotte Linden

17

IS Infinite Stratos—Charlotte Dunois

5 feet 9 inches (1.753 meters)

136 lbs (61.68 kg)

Charlotte Linden doesn’t really cut much of an impressive figure, at least, not an impressive figure for a warrior. However, she doesn’t really care about that as long as she can fight. She normally keeps her hair about halfway down her back and tied back with a simple hair tie. She wears a small cross (no powers, just jewelry) on a chain around her neck, and the Quincy Cross around her left wrist. She also wears a small silver braclet on her right arm that is made to help hide her spiritual pressure. She wears contact lenses to correct her slight farsightedness, but has a pair of glasses as well.

Having grown up in wealth, as well as being the youngest in her family by several years, Charlotte is very much a sheltered child. Despite being a Quincy, and taking great pride in that fact, she has never actually fought a hollow on her own before. In addition, a lot of the time, she acts very over the top, and will often go off on tangents about the supernatural/spirit world… or whatever manga she’s reading. However, despite her enthusiasm for these things, when it comes to actually doing any work, she is one of the laziest people in the world.

In addition to her Quincy bow, Charlotte carries two (2) Seele Schneiders.

A solid, completely silver reflex bow approximately 55 inches (1.397 meters) long. A small silver ring is held even with the middle of the bow by the string, and is used to draw and fire the arrows. Charlotte’s bow is meant to be held in the left hand, and was specifically designed for her usage. She can summon the bow in 1.4 seconds, and fire within 2.5 seconds.

A silver pentacle within a circle, the entire cross is all of 1 inch (2.54 cm). It hangs on a silver chain around Charlotte’s left wrist. Both the chain and the cross itself are undecorated. The cross is also unique due to the fact that is designed to mask Charlotte’s spiritual pressure.

Name: Donner
Item used: Bow
Type: Offensive
Cost: Moderate
Range: Short-Mid
Description: It appears as an overcharged arrow, about twice the size of her normal projectiles, but packs about 5 times the power of her standard shot. Further, upon impact with its target, the arrow explodes into a circular wave of blue spirit energy that extends out to a maximum of 2 meters (6.6 ft) in diameter. The wave front is uniformly as powerful as a single shot, and is capable of stunning hollows for a short period of time (generally 1-2 seconds). 3 posts between usages

Name: Panzer
Item used: Bow
Type: Defensive
Cost: Low
Range: Short
Description: Panzer allows Charlotte to temporarily reshape the energy that makes up her bow into two small shields that hover above her forearms. The shields are blue in color and are capable of deflecting most light attacks. She can deflect more powerful attacks if she pours more of her own spirit energy into the shields, but their power is limited. However, while using this technique, Charlotte has no offensive ability with her bow. 5 post duration, if untouched, 3 if used lightly, 1 if heavily used. 2 posts between usages.

Being born into the Linden family was really a lucky break for Charlotte. Besides the fact that the Lindens are one of the oldest pureblood Quincy families in existence, her father is also the CEO of Linden-Falkenrath Int’l, one of the largest corperations in the world. As such, Charlotte was raised in a very wealthy household, where she got nearly everything she wanted, either from her parents or her siblings, all four of whom were at least nine years older than her.

When she was seven, Charlotte began her training as a Quincy, being taught personally by her father and oldest brother. They soon found that while she was thrilled by the fact that she had “supernatural powers,” her excitement made it difficult for her to control her powers. However, despite her intense frustration with her difficulties in learning how control her powers, by the age of nine, she had full control over her bow and was almost perfectly accurate. Two years later, her father gave her a Quincy bow that was designed specifically to her specifications that she has used since then. The bow, however, was modified to mask her spiritual pressure so that hollows would not detect her, though Charlotte was not aware of that fact.

When she was fifteen, Charlotte became interested in studying abroad for a year, simply because she wanted to try something different. Both her parents and her four overprotective siblings all rejected the idea immediately, as they didn’t want their baby sister going of somewhere where she wouldn’t be protected by their family name and members. Charlotte was devastated and spent the next several months attempting to convince her family that it would be fine and that they wouldn’t have to worry. As part of this, she spent several weeks training to master Panzer so that she would have some means of defense. After several more months, she was able to convince her family, on the condition that she wear an additional seal to hide her spiritual pressure.

After obtaining the silver bracelet that would be the seal, as well as her own apartment in Karakura Town, Charlotte was allowed to depart, despite her parents’ trepidation.

Charlotte was less than thrilled with this turn of events. She had been so sure that her parents would have been thrilled that she wanted to travel, and learn another language, and study in another country. But apparently, they wanted their daughter to never leave Leipzig without a member of the family.

“But, Daddy… I really want to go to Japan!” She whined, giving her father her (patented) puppy-dog eyes, the ones that always won him over.

However, for the first time in years, if not ever, it didn’t work. He glared at her (glared! Why was this making him so mad?) as he launched into a list of reasons why she wouldn’t be allowed to go. Charlotte, too surprised at the fact that he’d said no, didn’t really pick up on any of the reasons, except until the end of his little rant.

“… and you’re not mature enough! Maybe when you’re older, in college, but right now you’re too young!” He finished, before straightening his shirt and tie. “I’m sorry Charlotte, but that’s final.”

Charlotte glared at him for a moment before turning and running up the stairs to her room and slammed the door behind her. Angrily, she kicked her desk chair twice before throwing herself on her bed. She didn’t understand this! The only thing she could think of was that her Daddy had had a bad day at work and would be fine the next day. Yeah, that would be it. She just had to accept it for now, and then ask him again, but with support from one of her siblings. The question was, which one?

Hmmm… Not Lukas, he’s too busy with that trip to New York. Franz? No, he’s still mad at me for that prank I pulled on him a couple weeks ago. So Anna or Kurt… I think I’ll call Anna, she’ll understand.

Nodding as she sat up, she decided it’d be best to wait until later on in the evening to call her. Now that she had a plan worked out, all she’d have to do is wait a few days and she would be guaranteed to get her Daddy’s approval. There was no way he could say no to Charlotte if Anna was fine with it (after all, she was the worst of them all, always freaking out over nothing when it came to Charlotte). Fixing her skirt as she stood up, Charlotte figured that she should probably get to work on her homework… but then again, it was only five in the afternoon. She’d have plenty of time later.
