## Biography

### Early Life

[...]

Scarlett and her twin brother Tyler grew up without a mother. Their father was killed when they were only eleven years old. When Tyler decided to join the ranks of Aurora Legion at New Gettysburg station when they were thirteen. Scarlett originally didn't want to join but did it anyway because she didn't want Ty to go alone and lose him in the process.

This mindset showed up in her training, as she only ever did okay on her exams, while she could’ve been good if she tried. But she hated the rules, hated the routine, hated the station. So Scarlett chose to escape in different relationships to keep her mind off the Academy.

### Aurora Rising

Though Scar is an exquisite Face, she refused to be picked during the Draft, just to become a member of Squad 312 under the leadership of her brother. She gets to meet her new squad members Zila and Finian. Together they are talking about their first meeting on the next day. Shortly after, Tyler tries to break up a fight between five Tanks, only to get drawn into another fight with Kaliis Gilwraeth, who Scarlett announces to be the squad's tank.

Their first mission turns out to be a supply run to Sagan Station. The group is greeted with suspicion due to the hostility between the Syldrathi and Kal, as a member of the Warbreed cabal. Still, the refugees agree to the help of the squad, under the condition of Kal keeping to the port area to unload medical crates while the rest of his squad offers to help in the station. Shortly after the Station is attacked by The Unbroken, the followers of the Starslayer. Scar tries to keep the intruders off with the help of her brother, Kal, and the refugees when a ship from the Terran Defense Force interferes. Tyler then tries to convince Auri to go with the TDF while she pleads to them about not saying anything about her. She reveals that de Stoy told her to flee, but the squad is undecided whether to believe her or not. It is revealed that the TDF is accompanied by five members of the GIA, who tell Auri they are there to escort her home. None of the squad interferes, so they take Auri onto their ship. Still, the squad is ushered onto the ship as well. Only when Cat arrives they learn that the whole Station was decimated.

In the holding cell, Tyler starts a fight with Kal after everything becomes too much for him. This is quickly broken up by Scar before Zila tells them via their uniglasses about her assumption that the GIA will kill them as well. The squad then decides to break out, with Tyler and Kal taking care of Aurora, while the rest of them tries to take back their Longbow. They meet with the squad and escape into the Fold.

When Scar takes the first shift to keep watch over their ship, she encounters Auri, who broke out of her sleeping chamber and allegedly sleepwalks through the ship. Scarlett soon discovers that Auri is in a different state as she uses Telekinesis to keep Scar in check while changing the course of the ship. Ultimately Zila arrives, stuns Aurora, and thus rescues Scar. Afterward, the squad discusses what to do with the unconscious Aurora. They realize that Auri changed the course to Sempiternity when Auri herself wakes up again. They decide to return to the Academy when Auri again uses her power to stop the spaceship until Tyler agrees to follow her course.

The squad arrives at the World Ship and immediately splits up to gather clothes, information and find a place to lie low. Scar takes Zila to shop for new outfits for the squad so that they can go undetected. When the two of them arrive at a bar to meet up with Auri, Ty, and Kal, they discover not only a group of Unbroken, but arrive just in time to see a shipwide broadcast of a picture of Auri, showing her to be a fugitive. Together they flee to the den of Dariel, a distant cousin of Fin. There, the squad settles down and tries to come up with a plan for the following days. At night, Scar realizes that Fin struggles with his exosuit and the effort of the past few days, asking him whether he needs help or not. Afterward, they talk for a while longer before finally going to sleep. While asleep, Auri's powers overcome her again, letting her paint a strange figure over and over again on every surface in the room they share. With the help of Dariel, they identify it as an artifact of the Eshvaren Empire that was a part of an exhibition of the Bianchi Museum. Auri then admits that she heard about the Eshvaren in her visions, causing the squad to discuss whether they should keep going or not.

Both Tyler and Scar leave for the museum later, trying to gather information about the statue, only to find that the statue is now a private exhibit in Casseldon Bianchi's collection. They also learn about a Masquerade to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the World Ship. Later on, Scar convinces Cat to go on a date with Declan and Lachlan, two security guards, while the rest of the squads waits in a cheap hotel until they are unconscious after Scar sedated them. Kal and Ty steal their uniforms to get into the Security area of the ship, helping Fin to hack into the video system.

Back at Dariel's den, the squad collectively takes a look at Bianchi's office, trying to come up with a plan on how to break into it and steal the statue in the process without getting caught. Auri then mentions that she had a vision about a masquerade ball. They remember the Masquerade about to take place and make a plan on how to go through with their heist.

Scar provides her brother, Auri, Cat, and herself with outfits for the Masquerade, which they visit together, while Zila and Kal break into the security system. The original plan fails after Fin doesn't reply over comms anymore and when Scar branches off to go back to the den, Auri, Cat, and Ty detonate the bomb, destroying the gravity system of the World ship in the process. Back at Dariel's, Scar discovers that the GIA stormed it and is already awaiting her. It turns out that Cat supposedly sold Auri to the GIA, but instead told the squad all about it use the GIA operatives as means to fulfill their plan. Together with Zila, Scar masquerades as GIA. They supposedly arrest Ty, Cat, and Auri in Bianchi's office but then flee to the Longbow, with which the squad leaves Sempiternity.
