Scarlet

Scarlet is a Corollin who was first met by the party in the Renewal Prologue arc. They joined the party briefly when Enid was reprogrammed by the Bloom Brothers. They were gifted cleric abilities by the corollin's Guardian Spirit (despite their reluctance).

## Design

Scarlet is a monochrome corollin with dark mauve hair with dark streaks and horns, deep red eyes, and a red core with gold trim. Their horns point upwards, and the left has a broken tip. Their core has a noticeable crack through it. They tend to wear dark clothing with loose fits and long sleeves/pants/skirts.

As Jupiter, Scarlet wore mostly shades of yellow and orange, with naturally red hair and orange horns. After their escape from Arakyne, Scarlet started dyeing their hair and changing their appearance in accordance with who they wanted to be.

## Biography

### Early Life

Scarlet was born as Jupiter, a planetary corollin with augmented abilities provided by The Bloom Brothers. They specialized in secretary work, including record keeping, typing, scheduling, document management, and dealing with potential clients.

About a year prior to the events of the campaign, Scarlet had a falling out with the other planetaries, wanting to leave, while the others refused to abandon Mars. Scarlet decided to stage an escape, taking as many of the city's corollin with them as they could. Though a lot were injured or killed in the attempt, over 100 people were able to be freed.

Scarlet was stopped on the roof of the watchtower during their escape, where they were attempting to disable the weapons firing at the fleeing Corollin. Mars, in a rare instance of leaving her post, was seen fighting with Scarlet on the rooftops. In the battle, Mars hit Scarlet's core (though she alleges that this was accidental, and she never meant to seriously hurt her opponent).

### Renewal Prologue

With their injury, Scarlet fled the city, wandering from place to place without any real direction. All of that changed when they discovered the Children of Winter fortress and met Enid for the first time. They warned her away from the fortress so as to protect her from the horrible pit of discarded corollin bodies and cores within, but Enid insisted on going. Though they claimed not to care what happened, they ultimately went back to try to help her, the first of many times they'd end up lending her their aid.

## Relationships

### **Enid**

Scarlet met Enid when the latter was traveling North toward Keterburg. They attempted to warn her away from the body pit at the Children of Winter Fortress, but were unsuccessful. Enid's insistance on going was the first time anyone had ever talked to them that way, and they were intrigued by her determination to do what was right, as well as her seemingly boundless optimism. Though they wouldn't admit it, they admired Enid's ability to stay strong in the face of adversity, and have hope despite overwhelming negative odds.

After everything, Scarlet trusts Enid (though good luck getting them to admit that out loud). They feel very protective of her, and are willing to even risk encounters with the Bloom Brothers in order to keep her safe.

### **Horse**

Scarlet isn't sure how Horse ended up following them around, but they haven't shooed them away yet, so...

In truth, they probably like the company. They've ended up being pretty protective of Horse, often gently guiding them out of danger, and trying to teach them skills they'll need as they go.

Horse is one of the few people who knew Scarlet's real identity, but they didn't think it was important, so they never told antone.

### **Mars**

During the prom, Scarlet refused to go near Mars, claiming to her face that they don't like her. Mars didn't seem to know them.

In reality, Scarlet did their absolute best to make sure Mars never saw their face, turning away immediately, or covering their face with their hair, so that she'd never figure out that they were once Jupiter.

Scarlet has said on Mars that some part of them still loves her, and would forgive her for the fight. However, the cracked core obviously really hurt Scarlet both emotionally and physically, and they don't feel ready to reopen those old wounds.

### **Nimbra**

Of all the party members (besides Enid), Scarlet is most trusting of Nimbra, admiring her down-to-earth nature and practicality. A conversation in an apparel shop in Grand Chokmah was the start of placing Scarlet on the road to trusting her.

Nowadays, Scarlet is comfortable enough to joke around and even relax in front of Nimbra. They like her goth aesthetic-- crows are cool.
