## Personality

Although she would rather not, she lives in Liyue. To blend in she prays when she’s needed to but not to the geo archon, but the seraphim of Cosmo.
She hates the thought of bowing down to one of the seven after what the old gods did to their home. There really isn't much that she can do now in this strange planet with a false sky. gunna improve this later

## Apperance

She would have the same model size as Mona (although slightly shorter) and appears to be a 14-year-old female with blonde hair with deep red highlights at the tops and deep pink eyes. She wears a red rose in her hair(Pyro vision) and carries a bat choker(dendro crystal) everywhere she goes. Wearing a black t-shirt and a black miniskirt (with black leggings ofc). She has a dark grey lab coat with tears (unzipped or unbuttoned or whatever. Kinda looks like a cloak). The arms are ripped off (partially. Ends near the elbow. A little above) and there are holes in several locations showing years of use. The bottom of the coat is ripped up making it uneven. There’s a few pockets but not so many that it’s distracting (5 on each side). There’s a white crescent moon on her right side instead of a pocket (like on the left side). (9 pockets and 1 moon total)

 The skirt has red frills. Scarlet also wears a red “purse” and a dark grey dagger sheath at the thigh. The lab coat has some bloodstains. Not so many that it’s very noticeable tho.

 She appears to have no vision; however, they are carefully concealed in her bat choker and rose. Her cosmic vision is dendro while her normal vision is pyro. When her elemental burst is ready, her eyes flash red and the bat choker glows slightly green to show that the vision is there. The rose also changes color from red to a slight blue tint at the edges of the rose petals.

## Character Stories

### Character Details

In the city of Liyue, many strange people live here. There are adeptibeasts and archons living among the common folk. However, none know of the vampire living in Liyue.

While most people see Scarlet as a normal human she is indeed a vampire hiding. Waiting to strike back at the seven.

Although Scarlet simple adventurer. her past, and what happened to her friends many, many moons ago still haunts her to this day.

### Character Story 1

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2)*

Many, many moons ago, back when Celestia was newly vacated after the old archons died, Scarlet was newly born. She lived for about 400 years, following the cosmo archon, the only one still surviving, before the first of the new archons arrived to take over.

However, this isn’t about that time. This is about her life before that happened.

It was mostly a simple life. A life with no regrets. With friends who she hoped would live forever. With friends that sadly passed away… The other vampires and long-living races tried to console her but they all failed. It was an endless cycle of her making friends and them dying in fights or of old age.

A day many moons later an old vampire foretold the future that a new age of archons would arrive and kill them all. Nobody believed the old vampire and he left the city, shaking his head at the disappointment that this city would fall.

Only a few days later the archons attacked. They killed all the people they saw.

In Scarlet’s last moments she saw the old man shaking his head and walking away. All of her determination went into a rock that looked like a bat. This became one of the first visions, Although none knew about this just yet.

Thus her first life came to an end. The life where she had the most and least regrets. The end of her most human-like life.

### Character Story 2

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 3)*

This time Scarlet was born into the peak of human civilization; Khaenri’ah. Worshipping the god of time and the Seraphim of Cosmo she lived there for a century.

She had a rose garden and gave roses to her friends. There was one rose that she put all of her desire into, one that looked like it was made of blood. It never seemed to die in the hundred years Scarlet had lived, no matter what happened to it it never wilted. Even fire couldn’t kill it. Though fire seemed to make it stronger, grow more.

Every rose that Scarlet grew was filled with hope and desire. And every friend that Scarlet made and gave a rose to somehow became slightly stronger in one way or another.

But all good things must come to an end. While Scarlet was away hunting for more parts to enhance the field tillers and more ideas on how to grow her roses, the archons attacked once more. Whether it was because of them not worshipping one of the seven, or if it was because of the experiments Gold had been doing, they transformed all they saw into monsters of the abyss.

When she returned with the crystals she saw fire and smoke everywhere. For all she could do was grieve for her fallen friends. And thus Scarlet vowed to take revenge on the archons.

While fighting the monsters her friends had become, a rogue field tiller ended up killing her. And thus her second life came to a close. The last thing she saw was her prized rose go up in flames and lose its color; still alive but without the desire of its master

### Character Story 3

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4)*

When Scarlet was reborn in Liyue, she asked about what happened to Khaenri’ah after it was destroyed. After she heard that the (7) archons warned the people to not do the same she got angry.

Since 500 years had passed since she died and Khaenri’ah was destroyed, the chances of her friends being alive and part of the abyss order was practically nonexistent. Though she still regrets it to this day, she started to kill the abyss mages and the “ruin guards” as the people have started to call them.

And this marks the start of Scarlet’s 3rd life.

### Character Story 4

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5)*

Much like any other day Scarlet was wandering around Liyue for lack of any commissions to be done. Though there were some rumors about her having lived a strangely long time or being reborn, Scarlet wasn’t troubled by these (for some reason). A wild funeral parlor owner decided that the rumors were true and decided to try to get the jump on Scarlet. Though it seems she hadn’t had practice catching real people in a while and fell on her face. Scarlet wasn’t sure what to make of the funeral parlor owner and just decided to leave her there.

While Scarlet was walking away she heard the girl talk.

“Are the rumors true…”

Scarlet merely walked off, leaving Hu Tao with more questions than answers.

Of course, this isn’t all that happened. A few days later Hu Tao tried to send Scarlet into the next life. This attack didn’t work… for Hu Tao.

This was one of the first times Hu Tao was struck with fear, something she had never felt before.

Scarlet merely said one word and Hu Tao fled. “Leave.”

### Vision: Pyro

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 8 and Complete "Scarlet's story quest add link later")*

One day after killing just over 20 ruin guards with just a dagger she decided to head over to Mondstat to see what was happening there and if the abyss had started to attempt to gain control. While the abyss was trying to destroy Liyue, in Mondstat, they might want to take over Stormterror.

While she did make it to Mondstat, it seemed that the abyss didn’t have any immediate plans and they were left alive. Though the rise of new leadership was troubling, in her mind, it wasn’t a major event that needed to be taken care of.

When exploring Mondstat some more, she found an island not marked on the map with nothing on it other than a machine making hundreds of ruin monsters, modified by the abyss to make them have an urge to kill all humans it sees.

With sheer determination, Scarlet was able to wield the flames of her anger of the gods and the monsters the people of Khaenri’ah had become and used it to destroy the entire factory and the island.

When the dust settled, a flaming vision was left there for her to claim.

Before Scarlet could pick it up to claim it or throw it into the sea a single plant was right below the vision; a single gray rose. Filled with life but with no desire. It grew and absorbed the vision into itself, returning to its former glory from 500 years ago. The brilliant blood-red rose of hope and friendship; Rosa Ignis, *The Rose of Fire*.

### Vision: Dendro

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 8 and Complete "Scarlet's story quest add link later")*

Many years after Scarlet joined this group an “archon” came to visit. He was tall wearing only black with a black hat. Scarlet was instantly on guard, something she hasn’t had to do for a while.

The man introduced himself as the “cosmo archon”, confusing most of the people in the city as they had never heard of such a archon. Though Scarlet and the old man (who Scarlet later found his name to be Sky), who had heard of him and worships him as their “archon”, decided to let him speak.

Mostly what understood was that the archons were getting close to finding this place and destroying it too, and wanted to save them by offering them a new place to live; his city, Eusebeia.

Many of the people were outraged at this suggestion but Sky and Scarlet weren’t opposed to it, considering they haven’t gotten visions to unleash the full power of their desire. They settled on a single condition, everybody in the current city gets a form of vision that brings out their hidden power, their greatest desire, whether they know it or not.

The man agreed and gave everybody a vision except Scarlet, giving her only a small green gemstone. He left a map to the city and left. Some of the residents were upset that Scarlet only got a small green rock but she assured them that it was fine and that they should start heading to their new city.

For Scarlet knew, this was the same rock she held in her hand moments before she died the first time. One of the first man-made visions, one of the only blessed by a seraphim.
