Charlotte was raised by her mother. She was confined to the house for the majority of her childhood, with the front door being locked at all times. Having no way of experiencing the world outside her window, Charlotte made up stories about the people passing below her room on the street. One day a white haired boy running through the crowd piqued her interest. After carefully watching where her mother hid the key to the front door, Charlotte stepped out onto the street to search for him.
