Scarlet Bell

**Scarlet Bell** is an elderly unicorn mare living in the Grittish Isles in the town of Hornbridge, and is the maternal great-aunt of Midnight Bell.

## Appearance

Scarlet Bell is an elderly unicorn mare with a faded red pelt, an average-sized horn, and a pale-gray mane and tail. When she was younger, her pelt was bright red, and her mane and tail were orange and messy, a trait shared her grandniece, Midnight Bell, but her hair color faded with time and age. When she was a student of Noble Grace, she wore a blue wizard's cloak. Her Cutie Mark is a ringing bell, representing her desire to bring joy to others, though her Special Talent has been interpreted as "whistleblowing" due to her actions with Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker.

After she was injured in a great school fire, her body was covered in burn scars, as well as almost half of her face, though thankfully, both of her eyes were spared the damage.

## Relationships

### Midnight Bell

Midnight Bell is Scarlet Bell's grandniece, born out of wedlock when her mother fell in love and eloped with an unnamed Earth pony stallion. Despite this, Scarlet Bell loves her like her own daughter and raised her like such in the absence of Midnight's parents.

### Crystal Prism

Scarlet Bell has been Crystal Prism's neighbor even before he Ascended to demi-godhood, and knew him as the unicorn colt Page Wheel

### Ink Wheel

Scarlet Bell became a neighbor of Ink Wheel and her husband sometime after moving to the Grittish Isles and settling down in Hornbridge, and is great friends with them. By extension, this would make her a friend of their son, then known as Page Wheel.

### Alicorn Ascendancy

Scarlet Bell is hostile towards the Alicorn Ascendancy for the horrors it has inflicted through Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker, and has been opposing the nefarious organization. She was enraged when she learned that the Alicorn Ascendancy was behind Patchwork's creation, as Patchwork is yet another victim of their madness. When members of the Alicorn Ascendancy traveled to the Grittish Isles and approached her for information regarding Crystal Prism's location, Scarlet Bell attacked them with a baseball bat before handing them over to the authorities.

## Skills

**Unicorn Magic:** As a unicorn, Scarlet Bell possesses arcane telekinesis that is common among those of her tribe. However, she mostly uses it to make tea for herself.

**Light Magic:** When she was younger, Scarlet Bell possesses a budding talent in light magic. She can create small orbs of light to help people see better at night and ease fears of the dark, and induce bright flashes that temporarily blind and stun enemies. Despite being an amateur mage compared to the likes of Noble Grace and Bubbling Beaker, Scarlet Bell was nonetheless able to best them by timing her flashes so her teachers' focus would be thrown off-balance. This resulted in her school catching fire when a distracted Noble Grace, in her anger, misfired a spell that caused an explosion.

**Above-average speed:** Scarlet Bell was a good runner when she was younger. Despite her understandable fears of getting caught and possibly killed, she was able to evade her teachers on the day she confronted them, including a pursuing Bubbling Beaker. She is still capable of running in her twilight years, but her old age means she has less energy to keep running as quickly as she did in her youth.
