Charlotte was a mortal woman, born on the LaFollette Plantation outside of New Orleans about 1787. At the age of about 12, she and her brother were sold to the Immortal, Captain Morgan Walker, who had them trained as house slaves. After she was assured that her brother was recovering, she made a determined effort to flirt with, and seduce the doctor: "I used to watch you sometimes, in the marketplace. I saw how those women used to look at you." The good doctor was more than happy to follow her lead, calling her efforts "Lovely."
