## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Remilia Scarlet**, the vampire noble head of the Scarlet Family and owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is the mistress of Sakuya Izayoi, Hong Meiling and the fairy maids, and the older sister (and guardian) of Flandre Scarlet. Though her appearance (and often behavior) is childlike and seems nonthreatening, she has fearsome magical powers and a reputation to match, being known throughout Gensokyo as the dangerous "Scarlet Devil". Due to being a vampire, she usually appears at night, indoors or under a parasol when the sun is out, as she is photosensitive and weak when exposed to sunlight. She is seldom seen without a parasol on a sunny day outdoors. In fact, she typically remains inside her mansion, which has few windows to prevent light getting in. While she is naturally known to drink human blood, her light appetite means her victims almost never die from their wounds.

While her behavior is usually self-centered and somewhat bratty, it is possible to befriend her, however, humans and youkai alike prefer to avoid her. Her name, appearance, house, and clothing all indicate she is European in origin and emigrated to Gensokyo many years ago though her reason for why she did is unknown. She claims to be a descendant of the world's most notorious vampire, Count Vlad Ţepeş Dracul, but this is a bald-faced lie.

### Appearance

Remilia has red eyes, short light-blue hair and a light-pink mob cap with a red ribbon decorated with white stripes. She wears a light-pink dress with a red ribbon on both sleeves (is seen with red trimmings in depictions), a large red ribbon behind her waist with white stripes and a necklace featuring a Caduceus-like centerpiece. She also has a pair of large black bat-like wings on her back with a wingspan wider than her height. At some times, she is seen without the necklace. She is said to be about as tall as a girl in her early teens (10 to 14 years old).

Her alternate outfit has her dress red instead of pink and her hair blond. This color scheme looks similar to her sister's, Flandre Scarlet.

### Personality

While she tries to cultivate the image of a mysterious and frightening vampire aristocrat, Remilia is as childish as her appearance suggests. However, she is surprisingly polite. Her long lifetime has only served to make her prone to boredom and as a result she prizes anything she finds novel. In Silent Sinner in Blue she allows herself to be manipulated by Yukari Yakumo, simply because the alternative would have been boring. The other residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion spend much of their time catering to Remilia's odd whims (including numerous parties), though she does make an effort to appreciate and respect their patience.

Remilia is respected by most youkai of Gensokyo and so she's said to have a charismatic personality. However, in reality this is only because of the fear they have for her kind. While she can act in an overblown and grandiose fashion, she usually only does it during incidents or for important matters. Otherwise, she tends to exhibit childish behavior. She enjoys novel things and isn't above playing along in silly games or allowing herself to be manipulated if it means staving off boredom.

Her behavior may be due to the fact she actually has the wisdom of a 500 year old being with the personality of a bratty child. Yet, it remains to be said that she has an overflowing and charming personality that even makes most fairies stick around as employees despite their freedom to leave at any time.

## Abilities

### Other Skills

Like most vampires, Remilia has the power of shapeshifting at her disposal and can change into a bat. However, unlike most vampires, her wings remain visible even when she is in human form, making it impossible to pass herself off completely as a human.
