Charlotte is a quori that is melded with Bronte.  Charlotte has an affinity for metal, and when Bronte touches metal, she can feel it resonate under her fingers.
 
Charlotte is not the family quori.  Bronte's family quori is Fallon.  It was odd that Bronte did not have the same quori as her family, and everyone knew something was amiss.
 
Charlotte instilled in Bronte a drive to explore the world.  Charlotte has a strong aversion to dwarves of all kinds.
