Reclusive Moonlight

Charlotte attended a prestigious magic school that taught light magic, the most common (and legal) form of magic. A bit of a black sheep her entire life, she never had many friends until she became enamored with an upperclassman after being shown kindness by her, to the point that Charlotte made the regrettable decision to cheat by learning dark magic so that she could become more powerful and impress her senior with advanced spells.

Charlotte dove deeper into dark magic than she originally intended and was caught in the act, leading to her expulsion from the academy. Charlotte was distraught and became reclusive. She moved to a small, run-down village and continued to study dark magic in her own home.

Charlotte is a loner, but not by choice; her eccentric personality has always put others off of her and caused her to be the subject of ridicule in spite of her best efforts. She is highly intelligent and talented at magic, but she lacks self-esteem, so she behaves in a self-aggrandizing manner at times to compensate. She becomes dedicated to her goals to the point of obsession and is willing to go through with any plan, no matter how poorly thought out, to achieve them.

• Charlotte’s familiar is a black kitten who wears a matching cape, named Little Guy.
• Little Guy obeys Charlotte's commands to the best of his ability and is responsible for summoning her spell book, fetching potion ingredients, and scoping out areas that Charlotte can’t.
• Charlotte doesn't have normal ears; she has cat ears, but she is embarrassed by them, so she hides them under her hat.
• Charlotte was picked on as a child because of her cat ears and tail, so she started hiding them and has continued to do so into adulthood. Currently, nobody she interacts with in town even knows she's a hybrid, but just like when she was a kid, everyone still thinks she's strange.
• Because Charlotte is insecure about her cat features as it is, she generally avoids shapeshifting. She would rather die than be seen by someone she knows while in cat form. Anything that would be beneficial for her to shapeshift to do, she can just have Little Guy do anyway, after all.
• Charlotte’s cat-hybrid biology is the result of her mother taking a cat-hybrid as a familiar and eventually forming a romantic relationship with him.
• Charlotte can understand what cats are saying and talks to Little Guy all the time. Little Guy also talks to her, but since he's still a baby, it's like talking to a toddler.
• Characters which inspired Charlotte include Cream Puff Cookie and Witchberry Cookie from Cookie Run, Tellulu from Mili, Marcille from Dungeon Meshi, and Olive from High Guardian Spice.

Spell Casting

Charlotte is trained in spellcasting, and while she is able to perform basic spells such as those for protection, light, dispelling, disarming, and basic healing, she specializes in Dark Magic, a long-forbidden art deriving power from the dark side of the moon and thought to be highly destructive. While the form tends to be associated with harming and cursing, Charlotte usually only channels the dark side of the moon to perform umbrakinesis.

Potion Creation

A somewhat experienced alchemist, Charlotte has a decent knowledge of potions. If Little Guy can fetch her the ingredients, Charlotte is capable of brewing a myriad of potions, including antidotes, potions for mana recovery, and other special effects, even on the go.

Reanimation

Reanimation falls under the category of dark magic, and while any experienced dark magic practitioner can raise and control a mindless corpse, what Charlotte has been practicing is… special. The Perfect Resurrection is a technique only one other dark mage has mastered, and Charlotte has only gotten the hang of it halfway. Charlotte has managed to resurrect a corpse once, mind intact but not fully healed, and forcibly jump started with electricity.

Cat Form

Charlotte is able to fully take the form of an unassuming-looking black cat, but she prefers not to do this. Anything that would prove this ability useful she simply has Little Guy do instead.
