Scarlett Fox

Scarlett R.February 2011 comic Fox is a character from who is Ranger Rick's deputy in Deep Green Wood.
==Physical appearance==
In Alton Langford's first drawing of her, she resembled a red fox with orange and white fur, black paws, black ears, and a white-tipped tail. Her signature red scarf was given by Ranger Rick in the January 1984 issue. It simply looks like a red bandana with her initials "SF" embroidered in blue letters at the corner. In the 1980s, she would walk or sit on all fours like a real fox, but this has lessened during the 1990s.
Robby Gilbert's early illustrations of her simply resembled Langford's original, but her orange fur is more reddish. In 2005, he redesigned Scarlett by giving her a even redder fur and a different shaped face and eyes. In 2009, TheCharacterShop made a 3D design of Scarlett. Her signature red scarf was removed, and she was given a patch of white fur on her forehead and eyebrows, and was given eyelashes. The current version of Scarlett in 2D gives her a large tuft of fur on her head, a pointier nose, and a yellow backpack. Her red scarf has also returned, but it is now a generic red scarf without any designs.
==Biography==
==Personality==
Hailing from the Southern Appalachian Mountains, Scarlett Fox was originally portrayed in her first appearance as being calm, approachable, and hospitable to others. She was described as speaking with a Southern accent in early appearances, but mentions of this have faded away by the late 1990s. Much like the popular depiction of red foxes in popular culture, she is quick-witted, wise, and intelligent. Because of her ingenuity, Ranger Rick designated her as his deputy. This is also the reason why she has her own questions-and-answers section in the magazine called Ask Scarlett, replacing Wise Old Owl's Whoooo Knows?.
Despite this, she is also known to have a short temper, especially on Boomer Badger. This is likely caused by Boomer's naivety and carefree attitude. This "rivalry" with Boomer can be traced as early as his first appearance in 1984. In more recent comics, Scarlett's relationship with Boomer has significantly mellowed.
In , Scarlett's personality has also been changed into a smart, confident and social media-savvy conservation enthusiast. This makes her more like Boomer Badger in the comics. https://www.sourceofthespring.com/silver-spring-news/red-rock-films-teams-with-nwf-bring-ranger-rick-television/
