Charlotte Weathers (30) - Charlotte¡¯s mother died when Charlotte was 3.
She was raised mostly by household staff. Her father, a surgeon, loved
her but just didn't know how to interact with a child. She became
interested in medicine at an early age and wanted to become a surgeon
(or at least a doctor) but her father said that was no career for a
woman. Charlotte did the next best thing and became a nurse. Charlotte
married a doctor, Robert. He was a field surgeon during the war and was
killed near the end of it. Charlotte spent a lot of time taking care of
soldiers, so she¡¯s seen some horrible stuff. They had been married only
5 years when Robert was killed. Much of their marriage was spent apart,
since he was helping on the battlefields. Her father died a few months
after she was married, so she feels very alone now. Since Robert's
death and the end of the war, she's sort of been adrift. She has
visited and stayed with various relatives, not finding anywhere she
feels comfortable. Charlotte uncle, Thomas, her father¡¯s brother, owns
a hotel in Four Corners. It's taken quite a bit of convincing on his
part but she's agreed to travel west to the town.
Charlotte carries a secret with her. Since she was young, she would
have visions and see spirits. She told her father about it once and he
told her it was impossible and to never speak of it again. Since then
she's never told anyone of it, even Robert did not know. The visions
of the dead soldiers she tended to during the war nearly drove her to
madness. She hopes that this new place so far from the horrors she saw
will cleanse these memories from her.
She has long auburn hair which she always wears up. While it's been
more than a couple of years since her husband died, she still thinks of
herself being in mourning and therefore sticks to dark colors, primarily
dark gray and dark navy.
