Anya’s governess Charlotte is a quirky woman of few words. She carries a gun and performs parlor tricks such as card tricks, ventriloquism, and illusions; despite her ability to brighten a room, though, Charlotte harbors a great inner sadness. The orphaned daughter of circus performers, Charlotte is stateless, and doesn’t know where she was born or how old she really is. As a servant whose life is dedicated to the well-being of others, she has no one to talk to about her own problems and must instead focus on keeping everyone else around her happy and comfortable.
