Visual Information
- Eye Color: Dark marine blue.
- Hair Color: Black, bleached to blonde and dyed to a light brown. (?)
- Hair Style: Long, wavy and unkempt with layers.
- Skin Color: Pale, very slight tan
- Clothing: Dark red, moderately revealing dress, lightweight and easy to move in for more effective combat, hardened leather boots as well as gauntlets, and a plate vambrace on either arm. Leather and chain belt around her waist, also encompasses lower ribcage.
- Height: 5'8 (Not changed as she will grow to a maximum of 6'7 by 25 years old. Her growth was stunted due to lack of nutrition by slavers)
- Body Build: Ripped
- Weapon of Choice: Glaive.
- First Paragraph: Scarlet is a rather cool and collected character that can appear to have a complete lack of empathy for others at times. Having gone through her own fair share of struggle in her life, she believes that when others complain about seemingly menial things such as "I can't afford this" or "I can't do that" she deems that person weak, which can make her appear arrogant and cold. Scarlet often tries to make herself appear approachable to even those she deems pathetic, seeing how her life has gone has shown her that everyone can do something useful, they just have to find it.
- Second Paragraph: Scarlet is completely lacking confidence in herself and her abilities, she knows that she can do what she can and knows that she can do it to a decent degree, but it's never good enough. Scarlet has her sights set on the stars and will never settle with only reaching the moon. Scarlet's fear of men has plagued her since her rather.. eventful childhood as well, though it is fading as her confidence grows.
- Third Paragraph: Around family, Scarlet is very homely and warm, showing her softer, kinder side whilst also retaining a hint of her cold, brutal personality. She will go to the ends of the earth for those that she trusts and will push any wrongdoings by her loved ones under the carpet. Scarlet is often brash, and quite arrogant around her friends, but tends to use the arrogance towards a more comedic effect, as she recognizes that arrogance can be the last nail in a relationship's coffin.
- Fourth Paragraph: Scarlet can be seen as a vigilante in some aspects, if she sees a wrongdoing either big or small she will step in and investigate the matter. Her innate neutrality would drive her to take a purely advisory and investigatory stance on most conflicts however. Scarlet believes that the most perceivable opinion is always the correct one, and this also links in with her admiration of the Unionist Faith, as she has clear, physical evidence of the Emperor's existence.
- Fifth Paragraph (OPTIONAL): Scarlet is a rather devout Unionist, having learned each of the creeds off by heart and been forced into worshiping other Religions, namely those of her slaver's. She decided against worshiping other faiths and decided on the only one that she deemed to be true. Scarlet believes that the world is in need of fixing, and that the way it is just won't hold for long.
- Acrobatic - Scarlet, from her numerous fights in recent years has built herself a decent capability when it comes to physical movements, she is surprisingly agile despite her scar-laden body and can run at a relatively quick pace. Having been taught basic parkour by her mother she has only been working to bolster her natural capabilities in areas of physical agility.
- Quick learner: Scarlet, having been forced to learn many things at once by her slavers, as well as almost constantly trying to better herself during the times where she was free, has developed the ability to better herself at a much faster speed than most, her natural affinity towards physical combat aiding her training with a sword and above average intelligence aiding in her magical capability
- Lancyon: Scarlet has a natural capability when it comes to the use of weaponry and various arms in combat, able to use her Lancyon style very efficiently in combat situations. Through her rather rigorous training in this style, as well as an almost obsessive personal training regime, she has developed far in the style, earning the capability of a warrior level practitioner.

Life Story
Scarlet was born on January ninth, 287AC. To her parents Arian and Gordon in a small house in the corner of Regalia, just by a large bridge that led to the Ithanian district. Her mother, having died in Childbirth is a person unbeknownst to Scarlet , but she faintly remembers her father, but doesnt hold any affection for him. Or any feelings of loss when it comes to discussing him. She lived a rather basic life up until the age of four, having only just become even the slightest bit sentient by that time, she'd be learning her first few words as she was sold to a man named Eldar, an Avanthar slave trader.
She spent around five years with Eldar, he'd put her through near constant verbal and physical abuse if he even heard so much as a sound of resistance from her, ordering her to do menial tasks like a regular house servant, with more serious and brutal punishments for doing things wrong, which she often did, being a child. This would be where she'd develop most of her physical scars, most of them not having healed properly or not at all by the time she'd be sixteen.
The Avanthar would begin to abuse her slightly less as she reached nine years old. Using her for other desires before selling her off to an orc named Eirik, this would be where she met Iris, a lady who was pretty much a mother to her for the time where they were enslaved. There were two other slaves whom she learned modern Elvish and Tatsugo from, her natural intelligence allowing her to pick up the languages, along with common, rather easily. Scarlet learned Modern Elvish from a Varran named Laitha, who also imprinted with Scarlet a short time before Iris, Scarlet and Laitha made their escape.
Iris, Scarlet and Laitha made their escape when Scarlet was fifteen years old, Iris telling Scarlet to run whilst she held off Eirik, who would proceed to kill Iris, after losing an eye to her. Scarlet has a memento of Iris in the form of a small dagger. Laitha actually turned the other way as Iris was being pommelled, also escaping into the city.
Scarlet would be taken in by Amarn as she wandered the streets of Regalia, having caught her getting into a fight with some rabble who had just come up from the sewers he decided that the rat that she was needed to be fixed, and thus began her first year of training in the Lancyon style. She trained vigorously through the year and grew by vast proportions thanks to her keen knack for learning, as well as her already slightly obsessive desire for self-improvement. She took every one of Amarn's arrogant mockings and turned them into her own form of self encouragement, always seeing that she could be better than she was.
Once Scarlet was sixteen, she'd leave the tutelage of Amarn, him having to leave the city as the Lo's took over, he left her with the dagger and her Bo-staff, made of wood with intricate carvings on the Steel tips. Through the occupation of the Lo's, Scarlet mostly stayed underground in the sewers until the collapse, where she suffered an injury to her shoulder that set back her training for about two months. After the collapse of the sewers she decided to reside overground, taking shelter in places that would give it for free or for voluntary service, namely smaller blacksmiths and Inns that needed staffing. For about three months prior to the sewer collapse, Scarlet lived as such, before returning to the new sewers.
Scarlet stayed with the group of vampires for a rather short length of time, having formed a close bond with their leader, Umredd, Ben Sykes, before his departure of the group.
Scarlet would now move away from the group of vampires, not too keen on the multitude of deaths she saw when she was around them. And the fights that she got herself into. She would be adopted by Achranack Shade and his wife Cormil Duvain, and is now living rather happily with them, learning and growing. She also managed to continue her training in the Lancyon style on her own, and from instruction tomes left for her by Amarn.
About two months after Scarlet's 18 birthday, she set out to live on her own once again, wandering the streets of Regalia and turning to a somewhat loaned way of living, taking residence in Inn's and Taverns that offered work in exchange of temporary steading, saving the money she managed to earn until she managed to purchase herself a small hovel in the poorer district of Regalia. During her time in this home, she met Ben Sykes once again, and now being much more grown up than she once was, she begged for his tuition in the Lancyon combat style, seeing the use of range as a much safer way of combat, and alas, he agreed to tutor her. He has been doing as such for three or so years, and is still teaching her in the current day.

Summarised Life Story:
0-4 Years of age.
- At this period of time, Scarlet was born, and raised, in a poorer part of the city of Regalia, born to her parents on January 9th, 287 AC.
- She began to learn about the world from a young age, already beginning to study both the common and Modern Elvish languages by the age of three.
- Scarlet was sold into slavery at a blackmarket dealership at about her fourth birthday.
- Scarlet had begun her time as a slave to Eldar, a fellow Avanthar and a slave trader who took a liking to her appearance, and thus he kept her for himself.
- Scarlet was taught more in her studies of the common and Modern Languages, this study was more forced upon her than actual voluntary study.
- Scarlet developed most of her mental and physical scars during this time, recieving rather rough and harsh punishments for even the slightest error in menial tasks, hence her perfectionism.
- When Scarlet turned nine, she began to get rebellious, and thus, Eldar wanted to see no more of her, selling her off to an Orc by the name of Eerik, who also owned several other female slaves, namely the Varran: Laitha, Cielothar: Iris, and Chien'ji: Atsuko.
- During whatever time they had off-duty from doing their variety of work as slaves, and during times where they weren't being borrowed or punished for something or other, the four got to know each other, and even learned from each other, Scarlet got her basic understandings of Zcorr here, being taught by Laitha.
- Scarlet, Iris and Laitha began planning their rebellion against Eerik when Scarlet was 12, and the plan was carried out when she was fifteen, after Scarlet had imprinted with Laitha as more of a memoir, as Laitha died at the hands of Eerik on the day of the escape, meeting the same fate as Iris.
- Scarlet was taken in by Amarn, a practitioner in Lancyon combat that caught Scarlet fighting with sewer rabble, and took note of her heightened reflexes, and took a liking to her eyes. He took her under his wing and provided her with tutoring, and a house for the year.
- Scarlet lived the best year of her life so far here, she broke out of her shell little by little, but even now it stands strong. She worked several different jobs, laborious tasks, the more hard work the better, as Scarlet had now developed an almost religious dedication to her physical training, and a literally religious dedication to Unionism.
- During this time, Scarlet was also adopted by the L'araignee family. She continued her studies in the Lancyon style.
- Scarlet left the L'araignee household at 18 years old, leaving out on her own to find a place for herself, training and practicing with her arming sword and dagger, until she came upon an old friend from her short time of freedom at age 12, Ben.
- Scarlet managed to reunite herself with Ben and convince him to teach her in the ways of Lancyon combat, and he has done as such for the past three years, but she has not attended the school officially as of yet. She intends to become a sellsword in Regalia so that she may fund her education whilst doing a service to the city and it's people.
