Personality

[/b][/color] Carlotta is Carlotta. She feeds off of attention and requires it nearly every moment. She also requires compliments and adoration, which is also why she absolutely love audiences because they do just that, adore her. She also believes that since she is the diva, or at least was the diva, she could do most anything she wishes. And for the most part- she does get what she wants.

And because she thinks she could do what ever she likes, whenever she likes, if she ever has a dream or sees what she believes is a sign of a bad omen, she would sometimes call in sick. However, if there is something that she wants to be done somewhere, no matter what, she will do all that she can to achieve or complete whatever it is that she wants done. Carlotta also has one picky little habit that Carlotta has.. which is messing with her clothes. Except for on the stage of course. But if she is not on the stage, she frequently may adjust her dress or plays a bit with one of her earrings.

The Past

[/b][/color]

Father: Juan Corazón
Mother: Maria Corazón

History:

Carlotta was born in the heart of Spain where she lived as an only child with her mother, Maria and her father Juan. Both of her parents were fantastic singers and so they raised Carlotta as the same. She grew to have a very good voice, her parents continuously made her work and work and improve her voice. However, one thing that was not helpful was that they would sometimes over use her voice and send her to bed with a sore throat and cotton mouth, not getting quite enough water during their singing practices.

When Carlotta was twelve, she and her parent's moved to Britain to get their daughter to get a little more culture, other than her own. In Britain, she learned to speak English and the young talent with the beautiful voice became well praised. It was by this time that Carlotta felt that she needed the praise and the audience for more than just to boost her confidence and self of esteem, but also to make her feel as though her parents were proud of her. However, her parents were never fully satisfied since she wasn't right away as good as them.

Tired of having to constantly be fussed about by her parents, she moved to France when she was 15. Her parents had made such good money that they gave her enough money to buy her own home with a few maids and servants. It was also in her good fortune that her parents knew the owners of the Opera Garnier. They talked them into giving Carlotta an audition. They did so and quickly accepted their daughter into singing. She quickly made her way into the lead parts with the help of her beautiful and fined voice... and her parents.

Carlotta cut herself off from her parents after a year of living in Paris, France. She did just fine making money, especially with her new pet named Franc, who would yell "CASH" every time someone walked into the room. Everyone admired Carlotta's voice, and she greedily loved all of the attention. Deep inside her as well, it told her that the attention meant that her parents would have been happy but would want her to have worked harder and sing better. So even though her parents were gone, their constant disapproval was still always on Carlotta's mind.

Carlotta was about 18 when Christine Daae came working at the Garnier. However, when she heard her voice, although it was pretty, she knew that she would never take her place as the most loved diva at the opera. The little blonde kept to her small parts and Carlotta continuously stole away the leading roles. Success after success. And although her little house in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, had gotten her the home, Carlotta stayed in it, enjoying her little home and her lovely life style.

It had been a while since miss Daae had been working at the Garnier. And one early afternoon, she had her maid bring her all the letters which had been sent to her. And one out of the few that had been sent to her, stood out with lazy, strange, red, hand writing. The demand on the paper was strange to say the least and sort of frightened her. It told her to stay home and that the managers already knew that she would be staying home after 'getting attacked by bronchitis'. At first she thought this was a joke... but when did as the letter said and found out the results... she was anything but amused.

Oh no...no, no, no. Carlotta heard all about little Christine girl. Though she knew... they dare not say that she might have actually out did Carlotta. No! It had to have been a fluke of some sort! She had heard the little sapo sing! That toad! How is it that she could have been such a... such a success?! As if suddenly cured, Carlotta went strait to the managers in a fit. Christine Daae had then become Carlotta's target, and she was going to give that little Daae girl what she deserved.

The next time she received a strange note, Carlotta was in bed and had her maid bring her the mail. Her eyes stared at the note that held the same messy, red ink handwriting as the first one did. And when she read this note, it was much more threatening then the first one she had received. If you appear tonight, you must be prepared for a great misfortune at the moment when you open your mouth to sing...a misfortune worse than death. At reading this, Carlotta no longer felt hungry for breakfast.

"We shall see." Carlotta said after standing up from her bed. No, she was not going to let Christine take such a triumph again. That little toad was trying to take everything way from her, her stage, her audience, their love for her! No, she was trying to steal it all for herself. Of course, the girl must have been jealous of her. When Carlotta looked out of the window, she immediately spotted a hearse. The note and the hearse both meant that tonight, she would have to tread carefully, but she would still go!

Then came her time to sing. She was reassured by her friends being in the audience, looking out for her. No, she was not going to let Christine sing tonight, thus her victory was already assured! Carlotta sang her part as Margarita and got the approving applauding from the audience. Her heart fluttered, she was just fine and she was going to win them over! The act then was over, no incidents what so ever. When they had gone into the next act, Carlotta was more alive then ever!

It was then when Faust and Margarita were singing. It had started off just fine... until the strangest thing happened! "Co-ack!" Carlotta's eyes widened and she didn't understand what had happened. Surely that noise hadn't come from her! Surely that noise was just a terrible illusion, a trick of her ears. "Co-ack!" She tried again. Oh, what misery! What a horrid illusion! She heard Richard's voice tell her to go on, but Carlotta did something a bit different. She would not be made to look like a fool!

Carlotta started again, but though she did this, the croaking continued as well! Oh what a horrible nightmare! Then suddenly, everyone's eyes went to the ceiling just as hers did when the grand chandelier suddenly came down on the audience. Carlotta gasped and watched in horror as the chandelier brake onto the audience. In that moment, she felt that her dreams of becoming the most loved and adored diva had shattered along with the chandelier. And ran off the stage, crying. She went to her room where her best friend was at, Franc. And cried and sobbed as she told him all about what had just happened.

RP Sample

Carlotta flung herself into little room of the opera house where her bird, Franc, screamed "CASH!" She sobbed and put her hand out for Franc to climb onto while she sobbed and sniffled. "Oh Franc, it was terrible. La peor noche de mi vida!" She sobbed to her pet as she sat down on a little silvery and green chair. Her bird stared at her, almost as if he were an actual concerned human being.

"I croaked Franc! Like a little sapo! Toad! Oh I will never get to reach my goal. Oh I have told you so many times mi corazon, Franc. You know my dream, it is just one... dream.... and of course its one I cannot have! All because of that little Christine Daae! I don't know how she didn't... I don't understand how she could have done it. Oh why would anyone want to do such a thing to me?" She cried.

"CASH!" Franc cried out. Carlotta sniffled and looked up at Franc. "Hey! Tienes razón! Your right! I could always get back at that little toad..." She said, slightly feeling better. "But I am not singing again! Oye... I really am feeling sick... what a horrible nightmare..." She said, carefully hugging Franc to her chest as if he were a teddy bear. Franc a long time ago learned not to struggle and only managed to squawk a little. "CASH!"

Well, I certainly do adore your Carlotta! It was a very enjoyable app to read. I love that she's slightly a bit bratty and naive, though still scheming. Most Carlottas are rather old, and yours being younger gives her a new dynamic! Excitement! (also I got a little excited when you mentioned Érik's handwriting! Glad you remembered! Poor baby is dyslexic... T.T)

Anywho, great job! Happy posting!
