Background
Charlotte "Lotte" Shadeflower is the daughter of Halanaestra Torynore, a well-known brothel owner in Andarr. Her father could be any of the men who paid her mother the most attention and weren't hitting on her.

However, Lotte doesn't care about her biological father, as they were never around. The one she considers her true father is Captain Bartjan of the City Guards, who might also be a Grey Dirk. He taught her how to defend herself with a rapier and assured her that she didn't have to follow in her mother's footsteps if she didn't want to.

Prostitution

Of the many kinds of whores in Andarr; Lotte was a harlot. Like her mother and grandmother even; possibly further back and that. In Andarr, like Stalwart (City of Pleasure) some forms and ways of prostitution are not only seen as need employment but even respectful employment. That is to say, she worked in well kept and honestly ran, respectable brothel named 'Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic' which her mother owned and operated. She wasn't on the streets or working the alleyways like the hustlers, painted boys, or the trollops. Nor was she working the various inns of Andarr like a 'red lady' or 'fancy girl' looking to get by or possibly more if they wanted to change location.
All brothels had gimmicks. Madam Torynore's Emporium of Fine Delicacies, Treats, and the Exotic was no different. Always in a dress or gown that was picked out for them by Madam Torynore herself. All the women dressed there dressed they very and were versed in the affairs of the day or matters of life. Down the way was the 'The Bards and the Bees' where all the girls dressed as boys and the boys were painted up like girls. Then the 'The Layflower' at the end of the way is where the girls wear nothing at all. At all the brothels, the local healers were always welcome and would proclaim the 'house' and its 'staff' clean with a mark on the door. Harlots like Lotte, Maddy, and others who worked in brothels could easily get in upwards of 1,000 coins for their 'time' per guest. As they are all about seduction and pleasure; quality over quantity. Where your trollop is lucky to get more than a few coins for whatever act was performed in an alleyway or the 'fancy girls' looking for just a bit more or her room billed paid.
Lotte and Maddy did dream of being courtesans but neither of them had the beauty or the grace to achieve such. After meeting a few courtesans decided that was to much work and preparations they do and all for one person. But they were very envious of how courtesans were adored by their one person.
