Overview
Carlotta Montelli is a Glacio-attribute Resonator from Rinascita in Wuthering Waves, featured in her special outfit Splashing Summer. As the second daughter of the prestigious Montelli family, she balances her public identity as a refined art investor with a secret role as the family's shadowy executor who disposes of dangerous underground complications.
Appearance
Carlotta has long white hair styled in a half-up fashion with M-shaped parted bangs, long side locks, and a hair ornament featuring a large bow and white flowers. She has blue eyes. Her Splashing Summer look consists of a red one-piece swimsuit decorated with gem-encrusted chains wrapped around her waist.
Personality
Carlotta exudes elegance and high culture, yet she refuses to be constrained by rigid rules or social decorum. She possesses a keen instinct for recognizing value, approaching both investments and personal ties with a practical mindset centered on mutual benefit. Beneath her sophisticated demeanor lies a bold, calculating individual capable of handling covert operations with absolute composure.
Abilities
Carlotta channels the Glacio element using dual pistols and her Forte, Dimensional Reshaping, conjuring crystalline structures during battle. Her standard attacks transition into enhanced strikes named Necessary Means by consuming Malleable Crystals. Her Resonance Skill, Aesthetics of Violence, temporarily immobilizes targets with Variegation before following up with Show Me Brilliance. Upon activating her Resonance Liberation, New Wave Era, she enters the Gunflower Dance stance to unleash repeated crystal shots via Death Omen and conclude with a powerful finisher, Death Unto the End, while bypassing target defense through the Dissolution status.
Background
Born as the second daughter of the Montelli family in Rinascita, Carlotta grew up under the guidance of her grandfather Francis Montelli and uncle Coppola Montelli. Operating as both an art investor and the family executor, she procures specialized concealed weapons to hunt down traitors. After meeting the Rover, she forms an alliance to expose the false miracles fabricated by the Order. When confronted by the Order, she cleverly faked the Rover's execution by collapsing a wall to hide them safely. During the carnival festival, she starred in a public stage play alongside the Rover to secretly defeat invading Echoes and Floro of the Fractsidus.
Relationships
Carlotta shares a strong bond of mutual trust with the Rover, having uncovered secret history and performed together on stage during the carnival. She relies on her subordinate Zani for evidence preservation and logistical support. She exhibits deep devotion to her family, working to rescue her uncle Coppola Montelli when he was taken hostage under the headship of her grandfather Francis Montelli. She stands opposed to Floro of the Fractsidus, who sought to destabilize the festival.
Trivia
The name Carlotta stems from an Italian word meaning free person. Her family surname, Montelli, derives from Italian roots signifying hills or mountain dweller, mirroring the location of the Montelli family's Everard Vault built upon a mountain. Splashing Summer represents her specialized custom summer attire.
