Description
Before the global petrification event in 2019, Charlotte Bony was a member of an elite unit within the American military. She enlisted in a civilian aerobatic team in 2013 and was later scouted for a special forces unit due to her exceptional performance in a simulated aerial combat exercise. She was under the command of Captain Stanley Snyder and was present at a scientific conference in America's Painted Valley National Park when the first petrification beam struck the Earth, turning her to stone for over 3,700 years.
Charlotte is a young woman of above-average height with a slender build. She has light-colored hair cut in a short bob with spiky ends, and her straight, thin eyebrows frame half-moon shaped eyes that tilt slightly inward, often giving her a bored expression. Her petrification scars are two symmetrical lines located under her eyes, resembling the painted tears of a mime. Her standard attire consists of a black, skin-tight latex unitard with a turtleneck collar and a zipper down the back, complemented by a wide belt and large gloves similar to Stanley's. She originally wore tasseled armor over her unitard but later added the standard zigzag-patterned uniform of the American colony after a seven-year time skip. Upon being revived a final time, her petrification scars disappeared.
Charlotte's most defining personality trait is her extreme dedication and loyalty to Stanley Snyder, whom she idolizes almost completely. She mirrors his behavior and mannerisms to a highly convincing degree, a tactic that proves useful for deception. She is generally serious and rules-oriented, but she is not without a sense of bravado and is confident in her own skills, believing an opponent foolish to challenge her. However, she can become frustrated when her abilities are surpassed, as shown during her dogfight with Ryusui. Despite her fanatical loyalty to her commander, Charlotte is not entirely unsympathetic. Unlike some of her comrades, she begins to hesitate when ordered to shoot all enemies on sight after a young member of the Kingdom of Science saves her life.
Charlotte's primary motivation is her admiration for Stanley Snyder. She follows his orders without question and sees him as a perfect, godlike figure whose talents are unmatched. Her role in the story is initially as an antagonistic force. She serves as a skilled pilot and a decoy for the American Colony, using her resemblance to Stanley to mislead the Kingdom of Science. After the resolution of the conflict and a second global petrification, she is revived and ultimately joins the Kingdom of Science. In the final chapters, she is hired by Ryusui to work as his personal pilot, a testament to the skills she demonstrated in their aerial battle.
Her most significant relationship is with Stanley Snyder, her commanding officer. She refers to him as Captain Stanley, praises his godly sniping abilities, and can mimic his voice so accurately that it fools her enemies. Her loyalty is such that she accepts any mission he assigns, including acting as a decoy in a dangerous aerial fight. She also shares a notable bond with Suika, the young scout from the Kingdom of Science. After Charlotte is bitten by a venomous Brazilian wandering spider in the jungle and collapses, Suika abandons her cover to save her life using a nitroglycerin-soaked swab. This act of mercy causes Charlotte to hesitate when later given orders to kill their enemies, showing that the kindness shown to her had a profound personal impact.
Throughout the narrative, Charlotte develops from a zealous soldier blindly following her idol to a more nuanced individual who can question orders based on her own experiences. Her encounter with Suika is the primary catalyst for this change, proving that mercy can bridge the gap between warring factions. This development is subtle but significant, as it shows a crack in her previously unshakeable fanaticism.
In terms of abilities, Charlotte is an exceptionally skilled pilot. Her flying skills are comparable to Stanley Snyder's, and she is able to perform incredibly difficult maneuvers even with the limited technology of the stone world. Her piloting abilities are formidable enough to give Ryusui Nanami, a natural-born genius, a genuine challenge in a dogfight. She is proficient with firearms as a result of her military training, but her shooting skills are not on the same elite level as Stanley's, a fact she readily admits.
