Charlotte Dunois

Charlotte Dunois is a 1st year transfer student at the IS Academy In Class One and is the IS Representative Candidate of France. She is the fourth heroine to be introduced to the Infinite Stratos series. Being sent as a spy by her father, her appearance is that of an male with long, straight, and spiky blonde hair that is tied into a low ponytail. She has purple eyes and wears the same IS Academy uniform as Ichika. While Charlotte has been described as being a cute girl, she has also been noted to look good even in guy clothes, much to her dismay. In episode 8, when she decided to re-introduce herself to the class as "Charlotte" Dunois, she wears the slightly modified IS Academy female uniform with a skirt which is a bit shorter than normal, and red-and-white sneakers on her bare feet. The IS Training uniform she wears also changes into the female version, with orange edges, and it has changed from a two-piece to a one-piece suit with stockings that cut off at the feet. In volume 3, she received a silver bracelet from Ichika and started wearing it on her right wrist. Her IS in standby mode takes the form odd necklace¨. Like Houki Shinonono and Cecilia Alcott, she is well-endowed, but she has a smaller bust than them. Even if her true purpose at the academy was to spy on Ichika, discover how he is able to pilot an IS, and acquire data from his IS, Charlotte is a very calm, friendly and kind-hearted girl, always maintaining a polite demeanour towards everybody, unlike the haughty Cecilia, the cranky Houki, the aggressive Lingyin, the ruthless Laura, the flirty Tatenashi, and the timid Kanzashi. She has an inherent dislike of lying to anyone, as she mentions that she is relieved that she was able to tell Ichika the truth after he discovered her true identity, and even apologizes for having to lie to him all the time. She acts the most nicely to Ichika out of girls which loves him. Charlotte is one of two girls that does not have a 'Tsundere' attribute; the other being Laura, after their fight in the tournament. It is also noted that unlike the other girls, who primarily focus upon making Ichika fall in love with them, Charlotte instead prioritizes making Ichika happy. Due to this, Ichika views her as the kindest girl among the five, even going as far as describing her smile as 'the smile of an Angel/Goddess'. The only two problems are that Charlotte, even when angry, tends to keep this facial expression (with the addition of the usual protruding blood vein mark), which he refers to as 'The smile from the Angel of Death'; and this, ironically, makes her the scariest girl to anger. Though as a whole, she still has some form of romantic interest in Ichika because she stated that she felt like she was wanted by someone for the very first time. While she is not one to flirt in order to gain Ichika's attention, unlike everyone else, she has had him hold her hand, hugged him from behind in the Boys' Grand Public Bath while making skin contact (which embarrasses Ichika) and tried to have him kiss her while she tried to feed him a cookie she placed in her mouth. She can also show jealousy at times, as she was among the girls who attacked Ichika with their IS when he was about to kiss Houki. In later volumes, Charlotte has grown increasingly bold in trying to get closer to Ichika, including trying to sneak into his room when the 1st years went to Kyoto. Charlotte had a very close relationship with her late mother and has many fond memories of her. Chief among these are all the times they went shopping in the market together, which she is reminded of when the group go shopping during summer break. By contrast, her relationship with her living father is incredibly distant, to the point that they have only met in person twice and have talked for less than an hour. This is most likely the reason why she didn't hesitate to abandon her mission once Ichika discovered her true identity. While Charlotte has been shown to be quite mature, she doesn't mind being girly or childish, such as getting Laura and herself cat pajamas and even teasing her with them (although she became very embarrassed when Ichika saw her in them the first time). She can also be very impulsive, usually creating very awkward and embarrassing situations for her and Ichika, only realizing what she's doing (or has done) when it is too late, such as when she brought him into a changing room to hide him from the other girls, only to start changing her clothes anyway. While Charlotte will quickly call Ichika a pervert for minor reason and simple accidents, she has a bad habit of causing them between her and Ichika. Well she tried to prevent her and Ichika from changing in the same room when she was pretending to be a boy, she would start trying to change in the same room as him after he learned she was a girl (this also reversed Ichika's position of trying to change in the same room to wanting to avoid changing in the same room). She even almost told him she's fine if he wanted to stay as she changed her clothes. During the World Purge incident, Charlotte's ideal Ichika would be very perverted with her. Even through she was embarrassed by 'his' actions and requests, she still did them anyway.
