Body Type:
She has a sort of wider chest than most woman and a rather forced hour glass figure - with the help of constant wear of corsets.
Complexion:
Her skin is a little lighter than the signature Hispanic coloring and it is clear and very healthy looking.
Description:
Carlotta has full cheeks that are constantly bathed in a powdery blush, and the bridge of her noes is slightly curved more upwards than swooping down. She is also slightly pudgy but it is almost impossible to notice except a little in her face and arms because she wears very tight corsets to make her seem much thinner than she really is. But all in all, Carlotta is really a rather pretty Spanish young woman. Her brown hair is almost always put up or in curls but on the uncommon occasion it is down in a braid or even more rare, completely down in a mass of strong waves.
If there is anything anyone notices first about Carlotta, its her fur coats. Before and after shows, outside and inside buildings, with or without hats, she is almost always wearing a fur coat. She absolutely loves her fur coats like they were her own children. However, she of course only wears them in winter and fall, as much as she loves them, but wears them with a passion when it is cold enough. Carlotta would drain a person of every penny and respect for their name if someone were to accidentally spill something on her coats or do absolutely anything at all bad to them. And it wouldn't be the first time.
Carlotta normally wears more brightly colored Victorian dresses with the occasional hat. They range from wine red to pale yellow to sky blue to white. She has nearly every shade of color under the sun and hardly ever wears the same color twice in one week. She even has various things for her parrot, Franc, to wear and many different colors as well, though more darkly colored. There is also only one item, besides her corset, that she wears everyday and every second of the day and night and that is her necklace that has a petite silver chain and a dark purple amethyst stone hanging from it, the stone serves as power, protection, and healing. She wears it all the time because she believes it does protect her, shes superstitious that way.

Personality:
Carlotta is Carlotta. She feeds off of attention and requires it nearly every moment. She also requires compliments and adoration, which is also why she absolutely love audiences because they do just that, adore her. She also believes that since she is the diva, she could do most anything she wishes. And for the most part- she does get what she wants. Her determination and acting/flattering plays a large part that but most know that if she is being particularly nice, shes trying to get something but she is very convincing.
Carlotta can be a very mean and wicked young woman when she wants to be. However, this is actually a sort of front. Due to things in her past, it has taught her to be completely strong and outgoing and to keep everyone under her thumb. She started out weak and useless and grew up having to toughen up and learn how to get her way. So she acts strong and all high and mighty, but she has rare moments when she believes she is alone to break down and for every mean thought or gossip that reaches back to her that is about her, really hits her hard when she is absolutely alone but she looks like she doesn't care and almost enjoys it when with others.
Carlotta is not allowed to be wrong. She does not allow it. It is everyone else around her that must be wrong. She only allows to see herself in a sort of perfection way. She doesn't spill anything except to her favorite maid who knows absolutely everything about her and is the only one Carlotta can trust anything with, especially if it is personal. Her rather large group of 'friends' see her as everyone else does, bossy and arrogant but powerful and strong which is why they even stick around her and help her spread gossip. Her maid is her only real friend and kind of plans to keep it that way, as long as she is still obeyed and gets her chocolates and tea on time.

Biography:
Carlotta Lluvia Sabina Corazón was born to Lupita Marta Corazón and Arturo Gustavo Sandalio Corazón in Madrid, Spain. There she spent fourteen years of her life, learning from her parents in the heart of Spain and growing up with Teatro Real - Theatre real which was the main opera house of Madrid, Spain. Carlotta and her parents practically lived in Teatro Real which opened in 1850. Her mother was a famous Soprano opera singer there while her father worked there as a famous Tenor opera singer. Born into a family of opera singers, she was of course expected to sing opera as well.
Things were well for Carlotta until a few months after her tenth birthday when her mother died in a freak accident, involving crossing a street when something set off a carriage horse and plowed right into and over her mother, trampling her to death. This caused her father to resign from the Teatro Real and lost his love for music, but giving the chance for his daughter to go on by setting her up with the Teatro de la Zarzuela, the other opera house in Madrid, Spain the had opened in 1856. However, things continued to go down hill for Carlotta, family wise.
Arturo took up drinking after the loss of his wife and would often go into fits of hysteria. Even Carlotta was not safe at home anymore when he would suddenly turn angry and put is depression and anger out on Carlotta. The respect for her father began to drop around as everyone began to hear what had become of the famous Tenor. In order to save Carlotta from any more disrepair, he sent her to Paris, France when she turned fourteen. By then, Carlotta had to learn how to fend for herself, having to deal with her angry drunken father who only saw her in his rare sober state and study the world of opera with everything and every day she had.
Her parents having started very wealthy, gave her father the opportunity to give almost all the money he had left that he hadn't used on drinking his life away to his daughter. A year later and with his name just barely still intact, he pleaded for the Opera Garnier ,which had just opened two years earlier, to take in his daughter and give her the chance to become the opera singer that him and his beloved and sorely missed wife knew she could be. With the persuasion from the very heartfelt letter and a bit of money, they took Carlotta in and realized quickly that she would be quite the asset, being so young and already having quite the voice.
After that, Carlotta got a maid who would be able to help her keep a house and finances for a little while and received the news letter from Madrid, Spain once a month. For several years, she waited to see her father's name pop up in the obituary or in the headlines that the famous Tenor had died. However, nothing came up... her father seemed to simply be forgotten and she never found out what had happened to the now poor drunk. For the next six years, she quickly became the diva of the Opera Garnier. Everyone saw her as an agonizing little tyrant because she refused to let people see the softer side of her. She wanted her past to stay as past and for no one to find out. She grew up with the Opera Garnier.... taking it in as her home and her first time with independence.... here Carlotta Corazón becomes the wealthy and famous high Soprano diva of the stage.

RP Sample
RP Sample:
Six years.... she had been here for six years and she was the diva, the star, the true start of her career. She had been one and five years old when she came here and now as she stands here on stage.... she was the diva and she would keep her place as such. With being here longer, most everyone knows their place but with new singers coming in here and there, there is always some sort of a threat. And most recently... that threat has been Christine Daae.
Of course the young blonde was not as experienced and hadn't been there for long at all, she also did not have a voice at all like Carlotta's, she was still there and breathing which made her a victim of Carlotta's scheming mind. She would have to keep the young singer under check.... she wanted no slip ups from either side and made sure that Christine new from the start that Carlotta would always be the rightful diva of the Opera Garnier and there would be no trying to replace her. She went through this with every new singer, even some of the males if they seem like they are trying to compete.
So there, Carlotta stood on center stage, contemplating. There were very few stage hands still about, there was no performance or practice tonight but the stage was her second home, she spent more time here than at her real home. Her maid and friend stood on the side of the stage, waiting for the Spanish diva to finally retire for the night but Carlotta showed no signs of leaving for a while. She only stood and stared at the empty seats. Then she glanced up at the boxes and for a moment, her eyes froze at box five when she could have sworn a shadow had just moved. She huffed and finally left with her maid remarking with a proud air. "Those seats will be filled for me. Recuerda mis palabras."
