Charlotte in Cursive

Start with the capital C: one curve that starts with a small loop at the top and sweeps round to the baseline. Its tail runs straight into the h, so the pen stays down. The h is a tall loop, then a hump drawn from the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the a. The a is an oval closed at the top, then a downstroke on its right side that exits at the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the r. The r is a short upstroke to the midline, a tiny shoulder to the right, then a downstroke to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the l. The l is a tall loop that returns to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the o. The o is an oval closed at the top with a short exit stroke at the midline; it hands over to the t with a short bridge at the midline, so the t starts high instead of from the line. The t is a short upstroke and a downstroke back to the baseline, with its crossbar added later, and the double t is written as one movement. The second t follows without a lift and runs from the baseline straight into the e. The e is a small loop drawn from the baseline up through the midline and back down, and its exit stroke finishes the word.

When the word is finished, go back and cross the t. A common slip in Charlotte is skipping the shoulder of r, which turns it into a stray upstroke.
