Charlotte

"Here at this prison... We respect your freedoms and equalities, under the very notion of our country! We believe that if our rules were too stringent and ignored your basic human rights, then we might fail at our job of rehabilitating you all and you might turn out even more crooked than when you came in!"

- Charlotte

Charlotte (シャーロットちゃん) is a recurring item introduced in the sixth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stone Ocean. Charlotte is a puppet based on the appearance of an alligator and is used by Loccobarocco as part of lectures to the Green Dolphin Street Prison Convicts.

Appearance
Charlotte is a normal looking hand puppet. As she is based on an alligator, Charlotte has scaly, dark "skin", with brighter sections at her chest, stomach and mouth. Charlotte has large round eyes with elliptical, vertical pupils. She has short "arms" with claws and a scaly tail. Charlotte's unique feature is her large bow, which Loccobarocco mentions it means she is a girl.

Personality
Charlotte is Loccobarocco's loyal assistant, assisting him in explaining the rules of Green Dolphin Street Prison to the new inmates. Charlotte explains that the prison's philosophy is based on personal freedoms and equality and that they believe that such freedoms would allow the inmates to rehabilitate themselves. Although Charlotte is just a hand puppet, curiously, she seems to have an independent personality from that of Loccobarocco. While Loccobarocco is more coolheaded, Charlotte lashes out at inmates who interrupt Loccobarocco's lectures. She also immediately begins to defend herself, claiming innocence once a certain inmate suggests Charlotte may have a hand in the disappearance of two prisoners.

History
Charlotte is first seen alongside Loccobarocco while the two of them explain the rules and philosophy of Green Dolphin Street Prison. Charlotte explains the prison's philosophy on personal freedoms and proceeds to ask Loccobarocco about the rules of the prison. During Loccobarocco and Charlotte's conversation, Jolyne tries to ask if earrings are allowed in the prison, and Charlotte proceeds to vulgarly yell at Jolyne to shut up as Loccobarocco hasn't finished his lecture. Later on, two prisoners working out in the fields are murdered by Foo Fighters. With the guards too busy to search for the missing convicts, Loccobarocco and Charlotte gather the rest of the prisoners together in order to ask for volunteers to help search for them. Charlotte explains that the prisoners disappeared after working at the farm area and theorizes about possible reasons for their disappearance and suggests that they form a search party to find the missing prisoners. After this, a certain inmate brings up the possibility of the prisoners being eaten by an alligator, and perhaps, a female one. Charlotte feigns innocence and Loccobarocco asks who asked that question. Loccobarocco ends up picking Jolyne and 4 other women and sends them on their way.
