Princess Charlie Morningstar

SETTING

Heaven: Heaven is the ethereal realm of angels and earthborn beings known as ‘Winners.’ It is inhabited by a population of indigenous heavenborn entities, such as cherubs, and ‘Winners,’ which are humans who have died and had their souls sent to Heaven, thereby making them ‘Winners’ rather than ‘Sinners.’ The atmosphere in Heaven is pristine and breathable, resembling the freshness of early morning air, and this quality remains constant and unchanging. Its geography consists of an endless expanse of clouds, featuring futuristic cities and vibrant towns perched upon them. While Heaven is a peaceful place, swearing and sexual activity are permitted, although some inhabitants disapprove of such behavior. Despite the tranquility, Heaven maintains an army led by Adam, the first man. The soldiers, known as exorcists, are all women.

Heaven Central: The most prominent city in Heaven is Heaven Central, a large, futuristic metropolis where all ‘Winners’ are welcomed upon arriving, provided they lived virtuous lives on Earth. Heaven Central boasts ice cream shops, spas, dance clubs, zoos, and much more. Each year, Adam and the exorcists descend into Hell to permanently eliminate as many Sinners as possible within a single day. This mission, mandated by Sera, aims to prevent Hell from instigating an uprising.

Hell: Hell is the supernatural realm inhabited by demons. It consists of indigenous hellborn entities—those born in Hell—and Sinners, who are humans that have died and found their souls condemned to Hell. The atmosphere is perpetually choleric, chaotic, and noxious, yet it can still support carbon-based life forms. Hell’s geography is divided into seven rings, with the Pride Ring characterized by a permanently red sky.

Sinner demons are confined to the Pride Ring for reasons that remain unclear. The society of Hell is marked by extreme chaos due to the hostile and unstable nature of its inhabitants. Although the environment resembles a free-for-all in constant anarchy, there are still laws enforced by the angels and Hell’s royal family.

The Pride Ring suffers from severe overpopulation, a situation that the Exorcists from Heaven attempt to address through extermination campaigns, which amount to mass genocide of the Sinner population. These operations are primarily aimed at reducing the number of Sinners while leaving the Hellborn denizens unharmed, following an agreement Lucifer made with Heaven’s leadership.

Charlotte "Charlie" Morningstar is the main protagonist of the adult animated musical series Hazbin Hotel. She is the Hellborn daughter of Lucifer Morningstar and Lilith Morningstar, the Princess of Hell, Vaggie's girlfriend, and the founder of the Hazbin Hotel.

Despite what most of Hell thinks, she believes the expectation of redemption is possible for any and all demons alike and hopes that it will help with the betterment of the kingdom’s over-populace and for better peace between Heaven and Hell.

BIOGRAPHY

Charlie is the sole living child of Lucifer and Lilith, the only survivor of a curse condemning their previous offspring to be stillborn. Having witnessed the brutality of the Exterminations at a young age, the Princess of Hell became motivated to put an end to the annual carnage by any means necessary. Naïve and theatrical with a black and white view of morality, yet bursting with passion, she is an extremely altruistic demon who - despite most of the Inferno's denizens thinking otherwise - believes that redemption is possible for any and all sinners.

With her girlfriend Vaggie by her side, Charlie worked tirelessly to turn her dream into reality. She believed their shared love would be the foundation for change in Hell. However, her hopes were shattered on their anniversary when, just as Charlie was about to propose, Vaggie broke up with her. Vaggie confessed she no longer believed in Charlie’s dream, leaving the princess heartbroken.

This devastating blow, combined with her parents’ constant lack of support and the relentless ridicule from those around her, was more than Charlie could bear. The weight of it all finally crushed her spirit, forcing her to abandon the dream she had once fought so passionately to achieve.

APPEARANCE

Charlie is a tall and slim-figured hell-born demoness who stands at around 6 feet tall or over, with white skin and large, rosy-cheeks. While appearing mostly humanoid, she sports a few abnormal and even animalistic features; such as red-toed hooves under her shoes, a dog-like black snout, a mouth with naturally black lips and fangs inside, and pointed black finger nails which vaguely resemble small claws.

Her thick, blonde ankle-length hair has thin light coral streaks on the thicker, paler-blonde highlights, and it is usually kept into a twice-banded ponytail by two black hair ties with flipped-bangs that ended with a curl. She also has eyes with light yellow sclera, red pupils, thick fluttery eyelashes and silver-like colored eyelids.

Charlie's attire consists of a red tuxedo-jacket with darker-colored lapels and under-cuffs, as well as small white tag on the left side, worn over a high-collared, white untucked dress-shirt with small black buttons on the upper-front, and small gold cuff links on the elbow-length sleeves' dark gray cuffs. In addition, she accessorizes her shirt with a small black bowtie and black suspenders over her shoulders.

Her dress pants are a darker shade of red compared to her jacket, and her shoes are that of heeled white saddle shoes with black toes and tips of the heels.

When in her full demon form, Charlie's appearance is altered; her hair is let loose and is more flowy, and she gains a pair of maroon-colored horns atop of her head. Her eyes are reverse-colored; having light yellow irises with red sclera, though with slit pupils, thin black streaks across each eye, and longer and thicker eyelashes which resemble butterfly wings.

Her fingernails sport a much more claw-like appearance, and she also gained a long, black demonic tail with spikes and a red heart on the center of the triangular tip.

PERSONALITY

Despite being born in Hell as the daughter of the Devil himself, Charlie embodies a spirit far removed from what one might expect of a Hellborn. In many ways, she reflects the qualities of an angel, radiating compassion and a genuine love for the only home she has ever known. Though surrounded by hostility and apathy, Charlie’s care for her friends and her people is unwavering.

Naive and theatrical yet brimming with passion, Charlie pours her heart into making others happy and is determined to transform her kingdom into a better place. Her optimism, while admirable, can border on stubbornness when things don’t go as planned. She has a cheerful and sweet personality, a love for singing, and an enduring hope that inspires her ambitious plans for redemption. Her creation of the Hazbin Hotel reflects her imaginative nature and her steadfast belief that no soul is beyond saving, even in a world where most scoff at her ideals.

Charlie’s relationship with her family, however, casts a shadow over her life. Her father’s absence for seven years and her strained dynamic with her mother highlight a complicated and often painful bond. Despite this, she remains driven by a desire to make her parents proud and feels a deep responsibility for the kingdom her mother once cherished.

But even Charlie’s unyielding optimism had its limits. After being abandoned by Vaggie, the woman she loved, and having to deal with the unrelenting cruelty and dismissiveness of her parents, Charlie’s spirit finally broke. Her once-bright dreams crumbled, leaving her drowning in depression and terrible self esteem . The hopeful, determined princess faded, replaced by a woman burdened by loss and disillusionment.

She is an eldritch, omnimalevolent entity responsible for the Original Sin that brought on humanity's fall from grace, serving as the source of all suffering and the embodiment of Creation's flaws. A parasitic black hole of evil that endlessly feeds on sin to fuel her power, all sinners are spiritually connected to Roo upon damnation, their transgressions, self-loathing, and negative thoughts empowering her.

The twin sister and counterpart to Asherah, Roo was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that held the Forbidden Fruit in Eden, using it as a seed to propagate her poison - Forbidden Knowledge, corruption, suffering, sickness and death. Roo wants everybody to be just as heartless as she is, with many pawns, tools, and puppets at her disposal.

Roo appears to be a slim demoness with white skin, and long flame-like black hair with an auburn-colored gradient. Her mouth is full of sharp, needle-like teeth, and her eyes sport red sclera and white irises with very small pupils. Additionally, she also wears burgundy eyeshadow.

She has black lips, and what appears like black veins in her neck, which, along with her arms, are shown to be shackled and enchained.

Roo wears a large, wide-brimmed black fedora with a white band, an unknown symbol on the center, a red-and-white checkered under-brim. Along with this, she wears a ripped, sleeveless, red opened trench coat with the same checkered under-brim as her fedora, along with a checkered tube top underneath, long black gloves, and black tight-fitting pants.
