She has also had lessons with her mother on Magical Theory, lessons with her father in History and Writing Composition, lessons with her uncle Nico in potions, and lessons with her uncle Plymouth in herbology.

Personality & Background:
The eldest daughter of Celandine Kettleburn nee Toussaint and Copernicus Kettleburn, Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn was born December 15 2075 in the Irish countryside cottage her parents had settled in as newlyweds. She was doted on and very quickly exposed to the nerdy pursuits of her Ravenclaw parents to the point where one of her first words was 'Pharaoh', and she had a collection of rocks before she was two years old. She wasn't the only child for long however, her brother Callum Kettleburn was born June 11 2077, and sister Chloe Kettleburn followed on March 21 2080.

When Chloe was a toddler, Charlotte put her in Zahra Kettleburn's trunk and attempted to send her to Hogwarts along with her aunt Zahra and cousin Michael Toussaint who were third years at the time. However the gig was soon up and Chloe's little adventure was cut short when Char admitted to their mother that she had sent her away to Hogwarts. She got in a lot of trouble but after that she began to warm up more to Chloe and became slightly more willing to share their very patient brother with her. When it comes to anyone else, she is fiercely protective of both her brother and her sister.

Charlotte lives with her family in the Kettleburn ancestral home, Roseacre, which is in the village of Grasmere in the Lake District, which her father inherited when she was just a toddler. When she is home she spends most of her time outside playing in the gardens.

Charlotte is a bubbly, friendly girl and in this way she often reminds people of her mother. However Charlotte is rather more of a whirlwind who tends to leave destruction and exhaustion in her wake as she has an abundance of energy and curiosity which sees her getting into all sorts of things. She's very smart and very creative, but she's also prone to wild flights of fancy and making up stories for fun. These stories aren't lies as she sees them, they are simply make believe because she is very imaginative by nature. She also is fairly impatient and impetuous, rather lacking in her attention span, and quite the fidget so that she rarely sits still. She is bold, enjoys exploring, and likes to be the boss. She is used to being heard and will always speak up if she has an opinion or a question.

Charlotte loves animals of all kinds, magical and mundane. She has nine pet snails (Marvin, Fester, Glen, Albuquerque, Mr. Mistoffelees, Herman, The Captain, Agnes, and Winona) and she paints their shells with all sorts of designs. Her family has a pet crup called Pip, and several abraxans and other magical horses in a breeding stable. She and her best friend David Truebridge once attempted to create frankenworms from regular garden worms and flobberworms by cutting them in half and attaching them together, which worked for about six seconds. Char is not afraid of getting her hands dirty and loves working in the garden with her mother, or digging in sand with her father who is a wizarding archaeologist.

Char is very close with her siblings, especially Callum. She at times resents her sister Chloe because she doesn't like to have to share Callum with her, or the attention of their parents, but really she adores her baby sister.She is also very close with her cousins, of which she has plenty. Charlotte generally is a very loving and affectionate girl with her friends and family.

While all Charlotte's grandparents are magical (making her a pureblood by the third generation rule), she has one muggle great grandmother on her father's side. The rest of her ancestry is as pure as it gets and also very international. Her heritage includes French and English on her father's side, and Italian, Russian, and French on her mother's side.
