Name: Charlotte “Lottie” La Bouff
Movie/series: Princess and the Frog
Year/Position: Dance teacher
Non/Speaking Animal/Companion(if any): None~
Powers: The amazing ability to the most eligible and ineligible bachelorette at the same time?
Canon history: Here~.
AU history: Lottie was raised in a spacious, elegant, and well-maintained antebellum mansion in New Orlean’s Garden District. Her father, Eli “Big Daddy” La Bouff, a man of old money, inherited the La Bouff family’s sugar and cotton plantations, and is well respected by the rest of the upper class, businessmen, and political figures within the city. Due to his influential status within the community, constant income surplus, and to the death of his late wife, he had the will and the way to spoil Charlotte rotten from youth. He encouraged her from early childhood to wish on stars for her dreams, supporting her fantasies in any way possible. So when Prince Naveen of Maldonia rolled into town, she was instantly blessed with Big Daddy sending him an invitation to their annual Costume Ball. This was her chance to meet, fall in love, and marry a prince!
She had asked her childhood friend, Tiana, to cater the party, hoping her friend’s wonderful cooking would help convince the Prince to court and marry the young debutante. Woe was the poor blonde when her Prince didn’t arrive on time! However, she quickly perked up and acted the part of southern belle once he rolled in.
Unfortunately, Tiana’s clothes had been spoiled in an accident; unable to see her friend looking so miserable, she took Tiana upstairs into her room and offered one of her own dresses. While Tiana was changing, Lottie went back out onto the dance floor to continue her flirting amiable conversing and dancing with the “prince”.
However, two vile frogs hopped down the back of her dress and humiliated her not just in front of the prince, but the entire city! She retired for the night shortly after that, embarrassed and miserable beyond belief. If her hysterics kept her out of the public and the prince’s eyes until the next day when she finally regained her composure; however, when she went to invite Prince Naveen to lunch out under the veranda, she found that he was... well, nowhere to be found. Up and left in as much haste as she left for her room the night before.
Now that her chances of becoming a real princess were utterly tarnished, not to mention that gossip was no doubt already making its way around the young adults of New Orleans, Lottie felt the need to do something to not only regain her dignity, but also mend any aspect of her reputation.
Lucky for her, she soon received a letter of invitation to Walt Disney Academy, and eagerly packed her bags (all twenty of them), gave Big Daddy a great hug and kiss, and headed out to make her mark on this prestigious Academy.
...Well, not too much of a mark has been made; she’s tried to pursue a college career with little success. In hopes of still being able to make something of herself in a place where her social status and family ties did little to further her along, she started teaching dance (which is by far working out much better for her than history and science).
While the Academy was evacuated into Traverse Town, Lottie, in her haste and excitement for a new line of Chanel clothing to be delivered to the Court of Holidays boutiques, got on the wrong tram; instead of going to the sister island, she was taken down to the mainland. Needless to say, she got a little lost wandering around and has just now been able to make her way back to the Academy.
Personality: Despite often coming off as shallow, Lottie has proven at times to be anything but. While she is indeed constantly worrying and caring about her own life, if anyone she considers a friend is in need, she gives it 110% to help them out and is more than willing to be the first one to come to their aid. Granted, that’s if she knows they require help. Otherwise, she’s typically off in her own la-la land.
Lottie is quite energetic and excitable, though this is multiplied by hundreds if a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself (such as Naveen’s arrival in canon). While still bubbly and hyper, she’s a tad more mild and reserved when life goes about normally (based on her attitude and mannerisms before Naveen and after Tiana’s and Naveen’s marriage). Don’t let her bounciness fool you, though. She knows how to be elegant when need be (as seen with the expertise and the “masked” visage she wore she danced with fake!Naveen). However, she needs to consciously focus on being refined; if something takes her by complete surprise, such as frogs down her back, she can quickly lose that cool.
Charlotte also shows that she knows how to play hostess and give out proper southern hospitality, no doubt taught and implemented by Big Daddy and the era (she apologizes to fake!Naveen for the frog fiasco in lieu of complaining or rattling on about it, as well as provided him with room, food, drink, and board).
That being said, she’s still ridiculously spoiled. It’s not often she can’t obtain something she wants, and when she doesn’t, it can send her into a tissy. Although, she doesn’t usually have too much of a problem when it comes to material possessions; after all, she can write up a check here, drop some clams there, and it’s all hers. But if her heart’s set on something and she can’t get it (usually a little less material and a lot more fleshy), she becomes incredibly discouraged and disheartened (going into a pouting tantrum when Naveen doesn’t show up on time).
She doesn’t care about society’s views on the Jim Crow laws or segregation in a racist and traditional southern culture. While one may think Tiana is the exception and not the rule, she readily swoons over Naveen, who is clearly of a different ethnicity. This begs the conclusion that while she may be subject to believing certain stereotypes due to the era (which does exist in canon, with Mr. Fender’s statement, “...A little woman of your status...”), she doesn’t let it stop her from looking inside her friends and seeing the good in their hearts and their true personalities (or their potential for helping to make her dreams come true).
However, almost ironically, she does judge books by their covers... at least initially. She has an eye for people who are aesthetically pleasing and will usually attach herself to them before she does so with someone who isn’t as keen looking. First impressions are huge in her book (which is why she put on such a production with lights, the perfect pose, over the top get-up, and glitter for Naveen’s first glimpse of her). First impressions of others will last with her for a long time, for better or for worse, until something happens to replace it.
Charlotte’s also not always roses and sunshine. She’s more than able to give the cold shoulder and does so without a second thought. Granted, she usually wouldn’t be so outright rude to a stranger or to an acquaintance (unless they’ve caused someone else she knows or cares about grief, such as the Shadowman). With people she’s more familiar with, she’s more than ready to risk being off-putting if being a little mean will get them to leave her alone (such was seen with Travis in canon).
While that “cold shoulder” comes in handy for dissuading certain folks from pestering her, she doesn’t always use it on people that should be receiving it. This is because Lottie is unequivocally naive and trusting. She prefers to assume people are generally good (this is most likely a result from living such a sheltered and lucky life as the daughter of the most prestigious and arguably powerful man in New Orleans). She will, more often than not, ignore signs that something’s fishy about them (such as fake!Naveen, since he acted outright suspicious many times throughout the movie before his reveal). She’s blinded by the light her own rose-colored glasses and typically can only recognize evil if it’s blatantly revealed.
Greatest Fear: She’s terrified of finding herself alone and on her own in the world, for one reason or another. She doesn’t do very well without constant support and acceptance from her friends and family (which, back in New Orleans, due to her position in society, was never an issue). She’s always relied on her father’s wealth, on her friends’ kindness and goodwill, and on her peers’ respect for her in order to measure her own value and success. Without all that, she’s nothing and she knows it. She’s not bright academically, and her sporting skills are nothing to applaud. Sure, she can cut a rug like no one’s business, but that won’t get her anywhere in life, and if she hasn’t learned it yet, she will eventually.
In other words, to be abandoned by others intentionally or unintentionally would devastate her to the core, since she would never wish to abandon those she cares about, much less want to. Likewise, permanently losing people close to her heart would have the bring about a similar devastation.
Has your character been at the Academy before/ does your character remembering being at the Academy before?: Yes, she has and for the most part her memory has been unaffected. She only wont remember certain people if their muns decide to bring them in fresh and wish for her to have no memory of them.
What are you plans with this character?: I want to continue character development with her. There’s so little that happens in canon that I’ve had to use interactions, plot, and player-plot to explore her and help her grow.
Previous players with returning characters from disney_academy only:
How has the Black Mist affected your character’s memory, if at all?: No, it has not for the most part. As stated earlier, if someone brings in a character fresh and wishes for her not to recognize them, I’ll hand wave those memories as having been compromised. Other than that, it’s unaffected.
Are there any noteworthy events that happened to your character in the previous game?:
-Failed dream training
-Took over Naveen’s dance classes when he dropped from the game
-First Academy boyfriend (Rameses II)
-Who failed to rescue her from being Mistnapped; she has no memories of him because of it
-Experienced adverse effects from the Mist due to the curse and the fail!rescue. Due to the fail!rescue, heavy exposure to the Mist or to Strangelings brings back brief flashbacks from the rescue, as well as phantom pains.
-Plot with Facilier to remove a curse he put on her; we never got to see it through because of the closing of the previous game. This has been dropped due to a lack of Faciliers wandering around.
