Charlotte Randolph was born on [[Bamber Isle]], the lands of her family, on 22nd July 1995. The eldest child of [[Frederick, 4th Baron Bamber|Lord Frederick Randolph]] and his wife Maisie. Frederick Randolph, the 4th Baron, was a naval officer and Lady Maisie spent to majority of her time at [[Court of Saint Romulus|Court]]. Charlotte, therefore, was educated at [[Lord Chaffway's School]] in [[Earldom of Richmond|Richmond county]] as a boarder. She then attended college at [[Falscraf School|Falscraf]] but did not stay for higher education, instead studying Combined History and Politics at the [[University of Central Gestoria]]. At university, she played association football for [[Conriston WFC]] and for the university team. Charlotte graduated in 2017 with honours and, in September of that year, her father Frederick Randolph died and she inherited the Barony. | |||

Upon inheriting the family Barony, Charlotte entered the [[Diplomatic Service]] and was assigned to the Colonial Bureau. From 2017 to 2019 she was Chief Aide to the Deputy Secretary of the CB, [[Sir Desmond Allens]]. After this she served for 4 months as the first [[Under-Secretary for Colonial Sports]], helping to set up this new section of the Colonial Bureau. Despite her lack of experience as a resident diplomat, she was added to the [[Ambassadorial Roll]] in November 2019 (allegedy thanks to the influence of her mother).

Charlotte remained in charge of the Kenega Desk until the [[Ellers Scandal]] of June 2020. [[Sir Martin Ellers]], serving as 9th Governor-General of Kenega, was indicted for corruption and embezzlement. It was found that Ellers had siphoned diplomatic funds and over-received expense payments into a Kenegan bank account and fraudulently purchased Kenegan bonds. Ellers was saved from imprisonment by the influence of several important friends and relatives and agreed to give the bonds to the [[Imperial Treasury]]. In order to keep Ellers out of public view for some time, he was appointed Ambassador to Kehrahn, a generally unimportant posting which Charlotte Randolph was being considered for. After much deliberation in the upper echelons of the Diplomatic Service, Charlotte was picked to replace Sir Martin Ellers as Governor-General. | |||

On 20th July 2020, Lady Bamber flew out to Kenega to be sworn-in as its 10th Governor-General.

During the [[San Rositan invasion of Kenega]], Lady Bamber was initially reported killed along with Kenegan Prime Minister [[Kendal Devarnum]].

Eventually, however, Lady Bamber's party at the rear of the column fell behind on a damaged road and came under attack. Rather than abandon her party, Lady Bamber remained with them and was captured.
