Carla

Carla is a white-furred Exceed who acts as Wendy Marvell's partner and caretaker;[ch. 133, 145] her name is Charles (シャルル, Sharuru) in Japanese, spelled "Charle" in Funimation subtitles, which was changed to "Carla" in countries where readers would interpret "Charles" as a male name.[vol. 27:184] Years before the series' present, she is evacuated to Earth-land as an egg along with Happy and 98 other unborn Exceed when her mother, the Exceed queen Chagot, has a premonition of their kingdom's destruction; to prevent a panic, the queen conceals the evacuation as a mission to kill Dragon Slayers.[ch. 198] Carla is born with the unconscious power of precognition inherited from her mother, which causes her to misinterpret visions of Chagot's ruse as her real mission;[ch. 198] despite this, Carla decides to protect Wendy. Although annoyed with Happy's obliviousness to their mission, Carla reconsiders after he ignores the Exceeds' orders.[ch. 165, 169 , 177] Eventually, after realizing her precognitive ability, Carla practices to consciously control her visions and, during her one-year membership with Lamia Scale, assumes a humanoid form to further hone her powers.[ch. 198, 201, 421]
