==Biography==
===Invasion of Bugs===
She first appears helping Telma Furrel give birth to Kav Furrel, and the first to discover the mole contracted albinism.
Many seasons later, she remains at her post for Redwall-Abbey. One evening she watched Kav and Jala Furrel catch a fish for Bairdon Bardwing. She later took part in the feast, but it was interrupted when Wuya the Toxic shows up. The next day, Wuya decimated the guosim, and Scarlette accompanied Volkner Streamdog and his holt to the site, where Scarlette began healing the survivors. Wuya later struck at Redwall by tunneling under it, but was thwarted and Scarlette once again tended to the wounded, though she was baffled to find Kav mostly unscathed from fighting the centipede, who has the advantage of twenty-arms to wield weapons. Wuya however wasn't giving up, and struck again later in the day: Scarlette was in the orchard when it happened and doesn't take part in the defense. At night, she was seen drying Zonder Banksnout after he had his fun in the rain, and shook her head at Kav and Erinaceus Quill showing off themselves bare-chested in the rain.
By morning, the great tit Parus the Manipulator arrived at the abbey with Wuya's plan for her next attack, and Scarlette was in a meeting with Volkner and Abbot Giotto over it when Myotis chases Parus into Great-Hall: the bird had been caught looting from the dorms, though she drops it in Scarlette's hands. After Parus fled, Scarlette was in another meeting, this one involving Moledeep being Wuya's headquarters and whether or not they should scour it for confirmation. The meeting lasted until dusk, but Scarlette was agreed on when she proposed using the cover of darkness to their advantage, and even better, Myotis Bairdon and Jala intend to assassinate Wuya. While that was going on, Scarlette returned to her badger-mum duties, such as cleaning up Zonder having peed on himself. The next morning, she finds the assassination had been a failure as Wuya returns, still alive, for another attack. During the scuffle, Scarlette herself ends the life of Wuya's seer Tegenaria. Later in the day, Darovit, who had been missing for two days, returns alive and well, and Scarlette instantly alerted the abbey after hearing his voice. 
Unfortunately for Redwall, Darovit had sided with Wuya in the hopes to get rid of Kav: by dawn the next day, Wuya had taken over Redwall, and Scarlette was among the prisoners. While Kav and Wuya engaged in a fight to the death, Darovit redeems himself by setting the other woodlanders loose: it's unknown if Scarlette participated in the fight, but the abbey nevertheless emerged victorious again.
In the aftermath, she bandages up everyone's wounds including Kav's.
===Parus Rides Again===
She first appears trying to subdue Kav's daughter Freja Furrel and her friends Algot Muskar, Zootoca and Gjord, catching the dormouse.
Later that evening, she has Freja help her with gathering herbs for the infirmary, and catches her cheering that she'll be allowed to attend Kav's warrior-anniversary party, but only if she behaves. Scarlette attended the party herself, but it was spoiled by their old foe Parus returning, knocking everyone out and abducting Freja, Zonder and Ganner Grang. She was the fourth to wake up in the aftermath, but was shocked to realize not only the three children were missing, but Telma and Vakama Foeseeker were found dead.
The next morning, she and Koor find a grieving Jala at the pond. Koor suggested Scarlette talk to him, but the badger claims mental wounds were beyond her, and Koor was reluctant that she herself wasn't the right choice due to being a bird, but in the end they let Koga do it. One day, she loses track of the remaining three dibbuns Algot, Zootoca and Gjord, and asks the others. When she recalls seeing the trio scheming, Nomi suspects they've gone after Freja. Scarlette found it idiotic, but prays they'll come out of it in one piece. Later that night, she was putting the remaining dibbuns to bed, then bumps into Koga, who's confident the runaways will return with the abductees and the heroes. The next morning, she Nomi and Mareike were gathering more herbs for the infirmary, but noticed the mole was down and decided to give her time off, and tried to carry four baskets at once, which doesn't go well.
The next night, she was thinking about Zonder, suspecting he'd get a wet-dream by now, which sees seen happen in many newly sexually mature boys, but was more bothered that the kidnappers would not care about telling him about or keeping Freja from knowing it, and she relayed this to Bairdon. She isn't seen again until the end, where the heroes return with their targets, and then some. Some time after, her worries about Zonder wetting himself became true, but she happily educated him on it.
