The Other Rose of Versailles

CHARLOTTE

Charlotte commissioned a mural depicting her victory over Amakusa. The
artist's brush flew, as if he was possessed, and painted the form of a
demon Charlotte had never seen before. "I must destroy Ambrosia,
afterall..."

B: "Has the evil king returned back?"
BM: "To protect the honour of my family, I'll never lose!"
AM: "In France, there is no impolite person like you. It's reasonable
I win!"
BV: "You imitate my distinguished family. I (will) never forgive you."
AV: "Protecting the honor of my family means all to me!!"
IJ: "Where'd you, evil king?"
"Japanese?!?"
F: "Where are you, evil king?"
"Ha!"

Notes: The "lines" that Charlotte draws with her AB slash remain lethal
a split-second after she slashes. Thus an opponent can be hit
if he moves into a slash immediately after she "draws" it.
Also, note that all of Charlotte's AB slashes can hit an opponent
nearby behind her.
Charlotte's standing and crouching ABs can be interrupted by a
Special Move, as long as the move has registered before she is done
drawing her triangle.

Ending:

After defeating Mizuki, Charlotte is standing in the forest. "Once again,
my motherland is safe!" she says. At this moment, Pierre flys to
her. She says "Pierre! What is it? Hey, he is..." Pierre flies off the
left of the screen, and Charlotte follows him. Charlotte runs to the place
where Haohmaru is lying on the ground, and looks concerned. Suddenly,
Oshizu enters from the opposite screen and cries, "Haohmaru!" Charlotte
reaches out her hand and whispers, "Haoh..." then runs off, embarrassed.
Haohmaru wakes up and shakes his head, with Oshizu by his side.
The scene shifts to where Charlotte is standing at the top of the cliff,
looking down at the forest. She says, "Love...makes me uneasy. I must
train myself more!" She then grabs her long hair, and cuts it, throwing it
in the air as Pierre flies off into the distance.
