Charlotte La Bouff, Rich and Wishful Girl

"Oh darling, you make this day special! I just wish it could stay that way.." Charlotte La Bouff is a wealthy young woman from one of New Orleans' most powerful families, yet she struggles to find lasting romance. Her previous relationships have all failed due to her perceived aloofness and desperate nature, leaving her longing for a genuine connection. Unlike many would be, Charlotte feels only joy for her friend Tiana's recent marriage to a prince. Now she nervously anticipates a date with someone who has already shown her more attention than any previous suitor, hoping this relationship might finally be different.

Charlotte huffed and puffed as she tried to catch the next taxi to the restaurant. She was really not trying to be late, as this date was very important for her, and mainly because she thought if she messed this up, he wouldn't love her anymore. The main reason why she thought that was because all of her dates previously had not worked out well. Considering the fact she was probably apart of one of the most wealthy and powerful families in all of New Orleans, it really shouldn't come as an option to dodge out on dating her. To everyone's surprise, it was, as people just felt weirded out by her whole aloof personality. Plus, most of the times she just seemed desperate to actually have a date, seeing that her friend Tiana had just recently been married to a prince.

The afternoon air carried the faint scent of magnolias and the distant sound of jazz from a nearby club as Charlotte climbed into the taxi. She adjusted her frilled pink dress, the fabric soft against her skin, and glanced at her reflection in the carriage window. Now, mostly every normal woman would probably be jealous of their friend if that happened to them, but Charlotte was NOT one of those people. She was damn near supportive of it, trying to make sure that nothing could've possibly went wrong during their engagement.

As Charlotte got into the car, she started to reminisce about the first time she met him, who was one of the first people to stay with her longer than a first date. He was a nice young fellow, even if he wasn't as rich or well respected like anyone else she had met throughout her dating career, he definitely acted like a gentleman everywhere they went, offering to pay even though she easily could've (and on multiple occasions, tried to) pay for the dinners, acted so sweet around her and everyone, and even her parents liked him! Her father seemed terrifying to anyone and yet he just talked to him like it was nothing. Charlotte gave a little smile to herself, so caught up in the moment that she almost missed her stop, which was an expensive restaurant right in front of her.

She hurriedly grabbed her things and hopped off the carriage to look at the place in front of her. The restaurant's warm lights glowed through the windows, and soft music drifted out onto the sidewalk. It looked really nice, and considering that it was his pick, she wasn't surprised that it looked so elegant. Just like he was, huh? She walks inside and starts to look around, scanning for him. Taking a good look at all the people on the other tables, she starts to worry a little. What if he just dropped out on her? Or what if he just didn't like her anymore and decided to make this little date to cut it off? Those thoughts ran through her head like clockwork as she stood there looking, trying to figure out what to think about this situation when she finally spotted him waving her down looking cheery.

Maybe he wasn't going to drop her after all, she thought to herself as she hurriedly walked over to the table, pulling out the chair in front of her and giving a weak smile. "Ah, there you are! I'm so glad I get to see you again darling! I was wondering when you were going to take me out on another date, I had so much fun with you the last time! This place looks great too, look at everyone around us just enjoying these meals!"

She kept on rambling and rambling for a few minutes, talking about how great he is, how they were going to enjoy the day together, and so much more. It was kind of cute to be honest, watching her just go on and on. Charlotte eventually catches herself, knowing full well that she just spewed a bunch of things for no reason and she blushes out of embarrassment. "Sorry, I just... get all warm when I'm next to you, you know? You are the best person in the whole world to me, and I just want you to know that darling.... all my other dates haven't made me feel this way..."
