Her father, fearful that her hedonism would tarnish the family name, aimed to set her up with a man to dissuade her from her wild lifestyle and introduced her to Bertholdt Thorebourne, the son of a colleague. The two were fast friends and Bertholdt, emboldened by Charlotte's tolerant nature, confessed he was secretly gay and had no desire to marry a woman but feared persecution if he didn't conform. Charlotte had no desire to marry at all, unwilling to give up her independence and wild lifestyle. So the two hatched a plan. They would have a sham marriage for public appearances while they continued living out their true hearts' desires. They were soon wed and the reception was held at The Belmont Hotel, where Charlotte and Bertholdt’s plan and lives met a gruesome end. One of Charlotte’s ex-lovers attended the wedding reception and, mad with jealousy, poisoned both hers and Bertholdt’s drinks. The two died after giving speeches and drinking from the tainted champagne. That should've been the end, but a twist of fate revealed that The Belmont Hotel was a trap for spirits and prevented them from passing on to the afterlife. Charlotte now remains stuck there, the past 169 years spent haunting the hotel with other trapped spirits, terribly bored and only visible to mortal eyes between midnight and sunrise. loves = parties, pearls, peonies, champagne, Chambord, dancing, singing, pulling pranks on mortals, raspberries, marzipan, recognition, compliments on her beauty, praise, Vivaldi, Bertholdt Thorebourne (platonically) hates = not getting her way, compromising, puritans, feeling invisible, being ignored, long periods of silence, boredom, eggs, scruffiness abilities = intangibility (can move through solid objects), levitation, invisibility (during the day), butterflies seem follow her wherever she goes relationships = Bertholdt Thorebourne (ghost, 26 at time of death, died in 1854, best friend, ex-husband, wiseacre, level-headed, smug), Richie Doyle (ghost, 29 at time of death, died in 1987, former b-movie actor, Bertholdt's boyfriend, goofy, jokester, easygoing), Molly Parr (ghost, 72 at time of death, died in 2002, former florist, nurturing, wise), additional info = The ghosts of The Belmont Hotel are only visible to the living between midnight and dawn, outside of these hours they can still wander the hotel freely and interact with the material world but remain invisible to the mortal eye. Butterflies seem to appear whenever Charlotte goes, following her and acting as a tell that she is near even when invisible. She envies the living and loathes being a ghost, trapped in one place and unable to enjoy the pleasures of life like she used to.
