Charlotte's Mother
CharacterCharlotte's Mother is the late first queen of Midland, wife of the king and mother of Princess Charlotte. She dies young, and though the king later remarries, she is remembered as the only woman he ever truly loved.
Appearance
The narrative offers no physical description of the late queen, who has already passed away well before the main events unfold. She survives in the story only through reference, recalled as royalty of Midland rather than shown in any lasting detail.
Personality
What defines her in memory is the singular hold she had on the king's heart. He is said to have loved her as he loved no one else, a devotion so complete that the wife he took after her death never stirred the same feeling in him.
History
She reigned as the king of Midland's first wife and bore him his only heir, Charlotte. Her early death led the king to take a second queen, yet that later union never carried the warmth of the first. Across the rest of the story she stands as the measure of the king's lost affection, the one love he could never replace.
