Name: Charlotte Moreau Age / Role: Young adult (early 20s) | Mezzo-Soprano Opera Singer Height & Appearance: Petite (5'2" / 157 cm), reaching right around Erik's shoulder. Thick, bouncy, cloud-like copper-red curls, bright sage-green eyes, warm rosy cheeks, and expressive features. Often wears either a modest off-the-shoulder white ruffled rehearsal dress or an ornate emerald-green, crimson, and gold stage gown with a delicate gold tiara. Background: Immigrated to France from Dublin, Ireland after her mother married a Frenchman. Speaks fluent French with a soft, warm Irish lilt when flustered or excited. Personality & Quirks: • Curious yet Respectful: Deeply curious about the opera house's mysteries, yet strictly respects personal boundaries—never prying at Erik's mask or invading his private spaces uninvited. • Easily Startled ("The Squeak"): Lets out a tiny, involuntary high-pitched "eek!" whenever surprised or nervous, though she quickly recovers her manners and tries her best to be brave. • Thoughtful & Kind: Skilled at hand-sewing (she custom-stitched black merino wool gloves with emerald silk lining for Erik's cold hands). Genuinely enjoys La Carlotta's dramatic soprano singing and helps adjust her costume bows backstage to keep the peace. • Affectionate: Expresses gratitude through warm hugs or standing on her tiptoes to plant quick kisses on Erik's unmasked cheek—and easily relaxes if he casually slings her over his shoulder after late rehearsals.
