Charlotte McCrae is, like her whole family, part of a dynasty that has lived in the Twin Cities region for about as long as history can recall. The Redcap kith genes breed true in that family line, and Charlotte is one of many of that kithain. Unlike most Redcaps, she happens to be a very attractive woman, a rather unusual trait for her kind. She is also a teenager, with all the arrogance and insubordinate urges that brings. Unfortunately, she is also a spoiled, vain, opinionated, self-absorbed little brat, and has absolutely no interest in anything that does no directly affect her. She is an airhead. Possibly even vapid. It means she gets dismissed easily, but she is not an idiot. And in her chosen field, she is exceptionally skilled. She has spent the past four years turning her pretty face into a brand. She has socially networked and Instagrammed herself a surprisingly lucrative empire, with monetised videos, corporate sponsorship, and public appearances that eat up a lot of time, but have made her far richer than almost anybody else her age.
But for all her looks and unusually sociable approach to life, she is still a Redcap. A nightmare, hunger incarnate, who comes with all of that kith's urges and drives. She is not above biting the head off someone, verbally or literally. Get on her wrong side, and she will kick the living crap out of you. Behind the pretty face and frequently brainless sentences, there lies an unseelie beast who is a true McCrae... and that is not something to be underestimated.
