Character Information

Personality and traits

Scharnhorst is a proud and honourable Belle. She is loyal to Prussia rather than showing deference to her country's current regime.

Tombstone quotes

Heroic	Of course she took her killers down with her.
Tragic	Even after she fell, the Morganas kept their distance, afraid she would somehow rise again.

Character Trivia

• Her tactic is named "The Ugly Sisters" as a reference to the nickname given by the British to her and her sister, Gneisenau.
