Charlotte Aulin

Charlotte Aulin (ja. シャーロット・オーリン) is a sorceress from the Konami video game Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin for the Nintendo DS. She is one of the two main, playable characters. She also appears in the cross-over game Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

Character history
Charlotte Aulin is a descendant of the powerfully magical Fernandez/Belnades clan. Like many of the women from this bloodline, such as Yoko Belnades, Charlotte is affiliated with the Church and can cast complex magic spells; the young woman can even transform herself into animals.

As a child, Charlotte was raised alongside Belmont descendant Jonathan Morris and the two formed a strong, platonic friendship. In 1944, Aulin aided Morris in an effort to foil the plot to destroy humanity by the vampire artist Brauner and his twin vampire daughters, Stella and Loretta.

Charlotte's great magical powers have made her a possible "final weapon" in the fight against Dracula, hinting at a possible involvement in the Demon Castle Wars (she would have been 71 at the time of the war). She's intelligent and relies heavily on her booksmarts (she once notes that a certain situation is unlike any that she has read about before). A running gag in the game is Charlotte frequently being referred to as a child, much to her dismay. The only person not to do this was Brauner. Charlotte is 16 years old and she was born in 1928.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Charlotte's main ability is the ability to use spells. These take time to use, but can be charged for a more powerful effect. Her main attack weapon are Tomes, which summon forth weapons. She has the ability to switch places quickly with her partner Jonathan Morris or fight side-by-side with him.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair

Charlotte no longer needs to charge her spells in this game. She gains more spells by blocking enemy attacks with her Book of Binding. This book is the only Tome she is able to use in the game, and levels up in strength with each spell she gains (including duplicates).
