242,666,666,336 DEAD LIVERS Carbon Tetrachloride (Carbon Tet for short, or Tetrachloromethane, named herself Katharin Martin) is a major character in Chemical Culture. She is mostly known for being a former firefighter and Chloroform's sister. As of 2023, she is 203 years old making her one of the oldest Organochlorides, C. Tetrachloride is 10 years older than Chloroform and 19 years older than her brother Dichloromethane. She lies about being 8 years younger than Chloroform. C. Tetrachloride fakes being French.

Personality and relationships
Carbon Tetrachloride has a dark sense of humour and is seen making jokes about controversial topics and eating people's livers. She never gets angry and is very calm. Often seen calling people and other Chemicals "degenerates". She refuses to use the name "Tetrachloromethane" because she thinks that IUPAC is like "the Illuminati for Chemical folks". She does not want to be organic and her father Carbon Disulphide is responsible for this.

Carbon Tetrachloride pretended to be nice and protective toward humans when she was a doctor and a firefighter because she wanted to be a nice Chemical. It was, again, C. Disulphide who made her accept herself and stop "trying to be who she cannot be". C. Tetrachloride threatens everyone with stealing and eating their livers when they slightly disagree with her. She fakes being French, speaks French with a British accent and calls herself random French names.

Her brothers (Dichloromethane and Chloromethane) meant nothing to her while Chloroform was her "whole world" due to being both her younger sister and her mother. C. Tetrachloride even threatened Chloromethane. She has been called "Carbon Tit(s)" by DCM. Chloroform calls her "Necatorina". Chloroform defends her more than anyone else. Unlike Chloromethane, DCM and even Chloroform, she did not like Methanol, she called Methanol a "cougar" for DCM. She has called her brothers "degenerates". Despite being a former dry-cleaner and a pioneer in dry-cleaning, C. Tetrachloride despises dry-cleaners. She is much kinder to Tetrachloroethylene whom she spent her early life with.

Appearance
Carbon Tetrachloride is a tall woman with very long, straight dark blue hair and dark red eyes. She has a very pale skin and unusually muscular build for a Chemical. She smells sweeter than Chloroform and is proud of it.

C. Tetrachloride wears work-appropriate but sometimes kind of revealing clothes. Her uniform coat is red unlike her siblings' dark blue coats. Most of her clothes are taken from Chloroform's wardrobe and restyled to fit herself. She styles her hair into 4 braids, just like Chloroform has done for a longer time.

Early life and career
Caebon Tetrachloride was first appeared in 1820 and named "Protochloride of Carbon". She worked as an anaesthetist/doctor around the 1860s under the name "Chloride of Carbon", after seeing her sister Chloroform killing too many patients during anaesthesia. C. Tetrachloride was successful and stronger than her sister, she told Chloroform to quit anaesthesia several times for the sake of the patients' safety. Her work did not gain enough attention and eventually she left the field a short time later. In the 1920s, C. Tetrachloride also had another very short but successful career in veterinary medicine which she rarely talks about.

C. Tetrachloride became a firefighter in 1910 and worked as one until the 1980s. She was forced to retire because she "accidentally" killed many humans during duty. She also had a short career in refrigeration like any other person in her family.

Carbon Tetrachloride has worked in textile and general cleaning industries under the name "Benzinoform" and opened her first dry-cleaner in the early 1920s. She was very successful in this industry and introduced Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene into dry-cleaning. Then C. Tetrachloride entirely retired from this industry in the 1960s. C. Tetrachloride made lava lamps and sold them.
