Mademoiselle Charlotte is a loa who manifests with the commonly perceived personality traits of a white woman in Haitian Vodou. [1] Appearances in Voodoo ceremonies are rare, [1] possibly as a result of her non-African origin. [1] According to tradition, both Mademoiselle Charlotte and Dinclinsin came to Haiti with the colonists and only began appearing in ceremonies at that time. [1]
Mademoiselle Charlotte prefers the strict observance of all the niceties of ritual protocol. [1] She generally speaks French [1] and will grant the ability to speak that language to a "horse" with no knowledge of it during the time in which she manifests. [1] Mademoiselle Charlotte is served in a manner similar to that of Erzulie. [1] She enjoys sweet rose-, blue-, white-, or cream-colored beverages, water sweetened with syrup, any type of non-alcoholic liqueurs, clairin, and acassan (a drink consisting of boiled cornmeal sweetened with highly refined cane juice). [1] She prefers the tender meat of young chickens as her ritual food offering. [1] Her color is rose. [1] Her services are difficult to obtain as she only works for people to whom she takes a fancy.
