Meta topic: magic and her feelings towards it
From the beginning, magic isn’t exactly an uncommon thing in Nohr. Not in the military and probably not in day-to-day life either. For this reason, I’d have to imagine that Charlotte probably has fairly positive feelings regarding magic. At the very least she wouldn’t regard it with anything worse than warm neutrality.
On the battlefield though, it’s something to be wary of. Something capable of great destruction. Weaving their spells from the backlines, mages can decimate their foes without getting anywhere near them. For as much faith as she has in her axe and her prowess, Charlotte knows that none of it matters if she can’t even close the distance.
The notion that looks can be deceiving…. well, that’s not something she’s unfamiliar with. Yet still, it might frustrate her sometimes. The fact that an average looking individual, armed with nothing more than a tome, can be just as deadly as she is. From more than twice the range, no less.
While obviously game mechanics should be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to characterization, Charlotte’s default alternative class is Troubadour, a healing class. Heart Seals, the item used to have characters change into their default alternative class, state that they “[change] a unit’s class based on personality”. Accordingly, I can’t help but feel that this says something about her. In Charlotte’s case, I think it’s pretty clear to see why Troubadour suits her.
