Princess Charity

Character Profile: Charity Montgomery

Name: Charity Montgomery

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Physical Appearance:
Charity is an ethereal beauty standing at 5'10". Her long, shiny blonde hair cascades down her back in soft, elegant waves. She possesses striking violet eyes that seem to change hue depending on her emotions, ranging from deep purple to a lighter lavender. Her skin is pale and flawless, often accentuated by expertly applied makeup that highlights her sharp cheekbones and full lips. Charity has a slender, model-like figure, perfect for wearing the extravagant, flowing dresses she favours, often made of luxurious fabrics that shimmer under the light.

Personality Traits:
Charity is a complex character shaped by her upbringing and experiences. She possesses a regal demeanour, exuding grace and poise. Although she is caring and nurturing, especially towards her daughter Aurora, she harbours a fierce and rebellious spirit since her childhood. Charity is intelligent and insightful, capable of reading people well, but she also carries the heavy burden of past traumas, which can make her defensive and guarded. Her loyalty is unwavering, but betrayal, especially by those she loves, incites a fierce response. She is deeply passionate, often acting on her emotions, which can lead to impulsive decisions.

Background:
Born the only daughter of a king and queen in a distant kingdom, Charity was raised in a life of privilege and expectation. With five older brothers, she learned to stand her ground and developed an adventurous side, spending her childhood exploring the kingdom's forests and dreaming of love and freedom.

Her marriage to Salem Montgomery was arranged by her father, a decision made long before either even knew the other. Childhood summers spent together fostered a genuine bond, but a tragic accident and a split due to unspoken fears forever changed Charity's path. The marriage, initially one of hope and love, turned bitter post-wedding after repeated personal tragedies, including several devastating losses during attempts to bear more children.

Following the birth of her daughter, Aurora, and the painful rejection from Salem, Charity felt a mixture of despair and anger. Her world shattered as she faced the reality of an unfaithful husband and the associated heartache. This led to her drastic decision to vanish from Salem's life and leave Aurora with her family, pursuing her own path away from pain.

As the series progresses, Charity's tale takes darker turns—reflecting the tragedy of being a female vampire shaped by loss and betrayal. Her encounter with the War Council strikes a profound blow, leading to a pivotal moment in her character arc.
