Plot

The virgin and repressed Charlotte Hawthorn joins the university from a Catholic school with a scholarship for participating in the fencing team. She shares the room with Nicole and tells her that her mother died and she is alone. Charlotte has thalassemia and is forced to use medicine. She gets a job working as a waitress in a coffee shop owned by Christians. Soon she meets the fencing coach, Professor Cole, who is also responsible for the literature classes, and her mate Eliza becomes jealous over his treatment of Charlotte.

Reception

Reviews praised visuals and set location but criticised characters, plot, mythology premise, abrupt ending, limited portrayal of Victor Webster, and over-reliance on female nudity/sexuality, noting it as weak compared to the original and over-similar to the Twilight film series, with Hinnendael possibly plagiarising Kristen Stewart. It has received an aggregate score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.[1]

gollark: I mean, OC's got chunkloader upgrades, you should be able to make it portable.

gollark: Well, if the server has dynmap (does it?) you can actually gather the data from that.

gollark: Ah, chunkloading might be an issue.

gollark: Also, if there's a sensor you can add to turtles, that could also work.

gollark: If there's some sort of sensor or scanner or something you could put on them that would work.
