Severe, regal and immaculate, Charlotte of Maillezais is the very epitome of a noble abbess. While not a tall woman, she is the sort who can still dominate a room when she wishes to, combining an obvious intellect with a strong, low voice with just a hint of musicality. Her features, as much as they can be seen, would probably have been called beautiful in her youth, but as age has begun to take hold, they would better be described as handsome.

In terms of her dress, Charlotte eschews the vulgar shows of wealth that some of her lineage and station might chose - dressing austerely in a dark robe and full gorget, she keeps her hair appropriately covered and her clothing unadorned with frippery or embroidery. Her fingers are free from rings, and her only accessory is a rosary of blackwood.
