Born and raised in the Backstreets of District J, the most that she will tell you is that she has had no parents. This isn't entirely a lie; her parents were brutally murdered shortly after she was born, before her captors had abandoned her to one of the orphanages. Foster care was not kind to her, and so, when she was old enough to work, she did so at small jobs and saved what meager funds she could gain.

When she was a young adult, she began to gamble in District J. Her gambling had its ups and downs, but nothing truly terrible hit until after the White Nights and Dark Days; nobody knows why, but she had Distorted. This caused her hair to fall out, her teeth to sharpen, and her eyes to look like sunken holes. However, this also had the strange effect of improving her gambling skills.

As you can see, Manager, she is now not a Distortion. How she returned to normal? Well, she won a jackpot, of course.

Using her winnings, Charlotte set up shop in a very dark corner of the Backstreets, taking assistance from workshops who were willing to work with her odd orders. A machine that could rejuvenate the patient even after being shot several times, a contract-signing machine that carried pre-printed copies of a non-liability contract, and others such machines. Some of these workshops were then able to patent better versions of these machines, as part of her dealings with them.

For a time, she gambled in all sorts of games, but her favorite was the deadliest: Russian Roulette. It was not uncommon to see members of her staff dragging a corpse out of her establishment, yet another loser in her twisted game.

One day, though, a tall and dark stranger entered the establishment. They beat her at her own game, leaving her behind with the suitcase full of ahn that was promised.

Of course, the Dealer was still alive. She was no fool, and had plenty of backup plans. However, her ego was greatly bruised. For the time being, she put up one of her trusted employees to be the owner of her shop for the time being, before searching for the stranger.

After that...Limbus Company had found her.

Headcanons:

• doesn't care about pronouns from others, but uses she/her for herself
• (isn't above using he/him to further intimidate others.)
• Even undistorted, Charlotte loves her appearance, even actively shaving all of the hair off her head once in a while.
• I also picture she has a real guffaw of a laugh and slaps the nearest person's back when she laughs.
