Name: Carlotta Regina Guidicelli. (The ‘Regina’ is on my own accord)
Age: 30.
Gender: Female, stupido!
Height: 5’6”.
Weight: 130.
Appearance: Carlotta’s hair is usually either a dark brunette or red, but then again, she may dye it another color, but prefers to stay at darker shades to contrast the slight alabaster colored skin she has. As for the figure she has, Carlotta looks extremely slender for a woman her age, but is not very muscular at all (aside from her vocal chords). Her lips are slightly flat, but then again, she adds a lot of makeup to her face to compliment her wardrobe. Overall, Carlotta is slender in size, almost giving her body the appearance of a young woman in her late teens.
Personality: It is most certainly unsafe to say that Carlotta is not your sweet little angel. In fact, it’s the direct opposite – she’s the devil in disguise. A ticking time bomb waiting to explode at the worst moments, Carlotta’s not afraid to explode on anyone, at any time. It is possible that she could be sincere and kind, but with her being well suited and adjusted to being both a prima donna and spoiled “queen” (she’ll never admit it), she just wants it her way or it’s the highway for whoever crosses her the wrong way.
Aside from this, Carlotta is stubborn and believes her voice is from God himself and that no one can be better than her. If anyone tries to be, her instinct is to backstab, manipulate, contort the truth, and try to expose weaknesses in the person as well as acting immensely hurt to make sure that anyone in the Palais Garnier that are important, such as the Managers and Monsieur Reyer, will try to get her to come back.
Wealth Status: Assumed to be of the upper class, but likely is of the upper part of the middle class.
Occupation: The Prima Donna of the Palais Garnier.
Personal Posessions:
-A full wardrobe filled with all sorts of outfits, each for the lady’s needs.
-A chest containing items for to keep her voice intact and sounding marvelous.
-Various books containing any performance that she has been in.
-A journal that holds to her the true nature of what she really is.
-A proposal ring given to her by Ubaldo Piangi that remains kept in her treasure box.

History: The story begins in Verona, Italy, in the late fall of 1851. Carlotta Regina Guidicelli was born to respected Regolatore [Governor] Stefano Guidicelli and his wife, Catarina, along with a brother named Valente. Within the first few years of her life, Carlotta was pampered and treated like a royal, especially when three more siblings were born. Carlotta loved and adored her older brother, Valente, but as for the other three, she loved them but not nearly enough as the others. Carlotta grew to learn that the world was hers for the taking and if she showed weaknesses, people would trample upon her and cast her away. It is safe to say that is a main reason she treats others this way and that it is a perspective view on life that she carries.
As it came time for studies, Carlotta was sent to the finest that her parents could afford and it was during this time that she began her studies as a singer after her parents realized their daughter had a voice of an angel. As she finished all the necessary schooling, Carlotta became a singing performer for Verona’s own Arena at the age of fifteen until she turned twenty-four without any problems while there. While at the Arena at her last year there, Carlotta was recognized by two individuals on travels from Paris to Italy. These two men were Managers Poligny and Debienne, owners of the famed Parisian Palais Garnier. During her performance in “Orfeo ed Euridice” (Orpheus and Eurydice), Poligny and Debienne seemed to enjoy her performance and moved enough to inquire whether or not she would like come with them to Paris. Her family was thrilled to say the least as was her supposed ‘lover’ at the time: Ubaldo Piangi. Accepting without a moment’s hesitation, Carlotta left Verona with Ubaldo at her side and soon arrived in Paris.
Carlotta found it much different than the luxurious and breathtaking Verona, but then again, Paris was a dream that had finally come true. Little would Carlotta know, but she would soon be targeted by something that would be known as the ‘Phantom.’ Almost immediately, she had a patron who supported her every whim and need, even in his death three years later when she was twenty-seven, as he gave her his lifesavings, wishing her in his will to continue singing forever. After his death, Ubaldo proposed to Carlotta – she was surprised, naturally, but dismissed the idea of marriage and simply let him know that she wanted to be a singer, not a wife, so their relationship stayed as that.
Eventually, the day did come when Carlotta first met with the entity known as the ‘Phantom.’ Everyone at the Palais Garnier had been practicing for the show “La Gioconda” and as Carlotta had been practicing with a girl (who she had an utmost loathing for) by the name Christine Daaè along with everyone else in the main cast. As Carlotta began to sing her piece of music, the backdrop began to crash downward towards Carlotta. Luckily, Ubaldo saved her from the untimely death, but it was evident: This ‘phantom’ did not like her performing. In her ever evidence of fury, Carlotta demanded to know who had done it, casting hateful glares around the opera hall and even questioning Madame Giry, Monsieur Reyer, even Managers Poligny and Debienne. The managers quickly reassured her that it was likely one of the stagehands and they would take action to ensure it never happened again.
Unfortunately, the managers were unable to do so. Within the tenure of Managers Poligny and Debienne, the ordeals grew worse, as did both Carlotta’s voice at times and her shrieking/screeching at everyone around her, causing distress and alarm among the troupes as well as her constant threats of leaving the theatre and going back home to Verona where no ‘Phantom’ would threaten her life. As of course, Poligny and Debienne gave into her wants and needs and made sure that Carlotta did not leave.
So, the story is in the present day. Carlotta is indeed getting older, but believes her voice will continue for all time, even in death because no ‘Phantom’ will ever knock her off her high and almighty pedestal. With now Poligny and Debienne leaving the Palais Garnier, Carlotta is anticipating with much malicious glee to get what she wants out these new ones: Andre and Firmin. As for Christine Daaè and the ‘Phantom,’ Carlotta is determined to not let anyone stand in the way of getting what she wants, when she wants and not caring who gets hurt in the way.
Participate in the story of the Phantom? Never, because then I would not have to worry about my voice, dahlings. . . Yes, I will have no choice but to participate!

[[This is from another site. . .hope that’s okay]]
Gabrielle chuckled at the thought of sending her a curse in a box. Boy, would Umbridge have a field day trying to figure out who exactly had sent it. After all, she had ways of making sure that the toadstool woman would never find out. As Gabrielle heard Aurora's remarks about Marcus while petting Janus, her smile was still evident, but not as strong as it had been. Of course she had been a complete fool, there was no denying that -- she knew that now, unlike when she hadn't heard a single word from him prior to his return.
"I admit, yes, I should have waited like you suggested, Ror. I do feel remorse about it all, that's no lie, but then again, everything is beginning to work out between us. I just. . .Jack. . ." Gabrielle groaned briefly as she reclined her head on the back of the couch, waiting a while before continuing. Keeping her eyes closed and head still on the back of the couch, Gabrielle spoke up. "Jack was and is a family friend. I didn't expect to fall in love with him. It's just, you know. . .younger men are attractive to me, but then again, I like older ones too. I suppose I was putting him in the place of Marcus in the sense I wanted, no, longed to have someone in my life. I feel foolish now that I have done it. It's like I'm a bloody Helen of Troy and they're fighting, or were over me."
Pulling herself back up, Gabrielle stared at Aurora. She really had never talked to anyone about these true feelings, not even to Quincy who she trusted more than most family members since he wasn't personally interfering with her love life. "I know the two of us have suffered many a loss, there's no doubt of that, but, Aurora. . .I'm afraid to let anyone aside Le Feys or Ogdens in about my past. I know Marcus would understand, I don't doubt that at all, but I never really open about it. Marcus' Auror buddy, Alex, had a small taste of what happened to me before I choked and then resigned to watching to a movie to hide the feelings away again. I hate having secrets hidden from me, but I despise myself for not letting Marcus know. Is it my stubborn nature or my foolish pride that's keeping me from telling my husband my darkest secrets? All the hurt and pain. . ."
