[indent][b]Appearance[/b]: 

Charlotte is a decently attractive woman, her expeditions and adventures leaving her with a slim and fit body. She has light brown eyes and straight darker brown hair that turns auburn if the sun hits it right. Her skin is tanned and she has faint lines around her eyes (Fainter than in the picture) showing her time often spent in the sun plus her years subtly making themselves known. The Union Jack is tattooed on her right bicep, in the form of a tattered flag. She often wears whatever is most appropriate for the environment she is in, Charlotte is nothing if not prepared. For the flight and her trip to Hong Kong to meet with some Chinese professors, she wears a business dress, slightly open at the blouse with a sleek coat. While it would be more proper to wear the coat closed and the blouse fully opened up, Charlotte was never one for proper. She has a simple extra outfit packed in her bag consisting of hiking boots, khaki trousers, black tank top, and khaki safari like jacket. In case she ever needed to get dirty.

[b]Background[/b]:

Charlotte May Summers was born on May 7th, 1933 just outside of London, England. Her family was rich, to put it mildly, owning over 500 acres of land and with a giant mansion to boot. Charlotte was the middle child of three, her older brother and the oldest, Henry, was two years older than her. Her younger sister and the youngest, Liza, was three years younger than her. Her father was an accomplished author and political figure and her mother was a meek, timid thing, though the prettiest woman Charlotte had ever seen.

Growing up in a mansion with a distant father and a coddling mother, proper manners and ladylike etiquette being constantly shoved down your throat, all you'd want to do is get away. And that's what Charlotte did, often escaping into the various gardens or the hundreds of acres of land to explore and interact with the tenants. But it always ended the same, she was caught by either her mother or father or a servant and marched back home. She and her brother were very close growing up, both having dreams of escaping this dull monotonous place to exotic locales and daring adventures. Of course the monotony was broken up at times by World War Two. All Charlotte could do was watch in horror as London, the only city she had ever been to and a quite fantastic one in her opinion, was sent up in flames. Several of those living on her father's lands received explosions as well, taking out several families. Luckily, nothing seemed to hit the mansion, but the horror of seeing people she had known her whole life gone and their homes destroyed would always stick with her.

As a teenager, Charlotte often escaped to the city to hang out with the poorer kids, going to the pool, smoking while sitting on porches, just generally having a grand time. Which annoyed her parents to no end, coupled with the fact that her brother often helped her get into the city. But as with everything in her life, it came to an end, but not by her parents finding her, by her sister snitching on her. For some reason, Charlotte and Liza had always been at odds, even as children. Liza was much like her mother, meek, obedient, ladylike, beautiful, insufferable. Mother's favorite. And while Henry was father's favorite that was a given, but Charlotte still loved him. They were too similar not to be friends. But Charlotte and Liza never got along. So Liza would see Charlotte leave and would tell their parents ( most likely in a jealous snit, as Charlotte would say.)

Charlotte attended college in London in 1951, with her father's money and influence no one could oppose her and she could do anything she wanted. Her love of adventure and interest in history led her to getting a degree in Archaeology and soon she found a job with the very university she studied at, giving her free rein to study and explore around the world. She went on countless expeditions and got wrapped up in some pretty crazy adventures, more than a few fights, and even a war with a treasure hunting group. By 1960, Charlotte was a common name in the archeological and even scientific community. She spent a few years teaching at the university and earned her masters in Archaeology. Then, in 1963, Henry now an officer in the army, was murdered. Confronting a drunk and deranged soldier wielding a submachine gun, Henry tackled the man off a building to prevent him from killing anyone and killed them both in the action. The man had already wounded three people and killed one. He died a hero.

It was a sorrow filled funeral and Liza blamed Charlotte for not being at home more, for neglecting their brother. When their father stepped in, Liza slapped Charlotte and shouted it should have been her and stormed off. An hour later, Charlotte kissed her parents goodbye and left, heading with a heavy heart for her next expedition. Charlotte made some pretty huge discoveries in Asian history as of late, Japan and Indonesia harboring some valuable artifacts. She traveled to Anchorage to present them at the museum there and hopefully get them transferred to a larger museum for display. The university was obviously very pleased with her findings and informed her she was invited to attend the convention in Tokyo, where she would be honored and congratulated among other respected archaeologists. She boarded flight 707 with a light heart and the promise of happy days ahead.

[b]Personality and Outlook[/b]:
[/indent]
Charlotte is the type of person that goes with the flow. She's an adapter, improviser, quick-thinker. She doesn't have anxiety, stress is minimal, if it bothers her, its really bad. She's intelligent and street smart. But she can come off as selfish, uncaring, arrogant to those who don't know her. She can't stand people she classifies as stupid and is not afraid to let them know it. She's honestly blunt and brutal, she's not concerned with sensitivity or tact. She's friendly enough to those she doesn't know and those she likes, but can quickly turn nasty if she doesn't like them. She's big on politics and is quite savvy to international political and social problems.

She is a massive supporter of human rights and she regards various rights activists with admiration. However, she's a bit cynical to the peace and love approach, not so to the point of Malcolm X, but enough to know that won't change the hearts and minds of generations raised to oppose something or someone anytime soon.
