Scoria Flint

Scoria Flint is a student from Atlas Academy and a member of Team TSCN. Her team originally consisted of Tyrus Niter, Adularia Chalk, and Nitro Gin; after Nitro's death during the fall of Beacon, the fourth place in the team was taken up by Tyrus's younger sister Nepheline.

## Character

“Rough around the edges” would just about begin to describe Scoria Flint. Growing up in the tundra outside of Atlas and Mantle as something of a nomad, every day was a fight to survive - and she was often left to fend for herself.

Scoria’s childhood leaves her somewhat gullible when it comes to life within the kingdoms, particularly around technology and entertainment – she believes that anime is based on a true story – but surviving where few others could left her with a sense of superiority; one that she shares with her teammate Adularia Chalk, with whom she is very close despite their obvious differences.

Though Scoria is not the smartest person academically speaking, she’s spent her life fighting to survive and honing her street smarts to get what she needs from others; valuable skills in her team’s roster.

## Abilities and Powers

### Weapon

Dust infusion is not a common practice, and Scoria’s method of utilising it is even rarer. Instead of dangerously injecting dust into her body, her tattoos are laced with it. This allows her to wield elemental powers while not suffering from the adverse effects that would come with stabbing herself with crystals.

### Semblance

Be it through exercise, dust-laced tattoos, or a blazing inferno, Scoria’s semblance allows her to get stronger the higher her body temperature is.

However, this does not negate the adverse effects of a high body temperature, so she must be careful with how she uses it.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Scoria alludes to “The Fire Fairy”, a Russian story about a female creature who can do a magical dance that reveals gold deposits.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Scoria" is a dark, volcanic rock
* "Flint" a sedimentary rock used to spark fires
Minor Characters/The Free Territories

The following is a list of **minor characters from the Free Territories** from across the connected stories within the "RAINverse", arranged categorically.

## Knothole

### Amarillo Lincoln I

*Appears in: RAIN*
   Amarillo was an ancestor of the present day Lincoln Clan who waged war against the Kingdom of Mistral and its Amaransu Dynasty.

Amarillo is Spanish for "Yellow."

### Amarillo Lincoln II

*Appears in: RAIN*
   Amarillo was the father of Lord Orion Lincoln and grandfather to Roderick, William, Robin, Marina and Lilliana, as well as great-grandfather to Maylis.

His practice as Lord was notably brutal, as Marina states he would outright execute Lincolns who unlocked the aura for fear of the results being catastrophic. His son was more lax, having only exiled those who unlocked their own aura.

### Garsea Lincoln

*Mentioned in: RAIN*
Garsea Lincoln is the younger brother of Orion, and father of Zephyr. Finch Vogel notes that he is currently located on the Island of Arbor, and the escapees from Knothole sailed there to take refuge with him.

"Garsea" is a medieval Spanish name, possibly meaning "bear," implying brown colours.

### Knothole Escapees

*Appears in: RAIN*
The Knothole Escapees are a group of five Lincoln Clan members who escaped Knothole along with Zephyr Lincoln and fled north to Arbor to seek sanctuary. They are;

* Berto, an orange-eyed man with short brown hair and a beard, who appears stern. "Berto" derives from the germanic element *beraht* meaning "bright".
* Cornell, a long blonde-haired man with green eyes, who appears jovial. His name comes from Cornell red, also known as Carnelian.
* Fern Vogel, the younger sister of Finch Vogel. She appears to be quite young, with dark eyes and dark hair pulled back, but with a braid hanging on her left side. Her name comes from the plant of the same name, implying a pale green colour.
* Munsell Vogel, the father of Finch Vogel. He appears quite old, with receding grey-brown hair and a shaggy beard. His name derives from the Munsell colour system.
* Rackley, an aggressive-looking man with shaggy black hair, a scarred left cheek and pale blue eyes. His name derives from Rackley blue.

### Zephyr Lincoln

*Appears in: RAIN*

Zephyr Lincoln is the niece of Lord Orion and cousin to Robin. She bears a strong resemblance to Robin, but with darker skin, richer brown hair and thicker eyebrows. She also maintains a more feminine appearance, wearing a white and lilac-pink dress.

She sent a letter decorated with love hearts to Finch Vogel, describing how she has sailed north to the island of Arbor to escape the fall of Knothole. It is assumed she has a crush on Finch.

A zephyr is a soft, gentle breeze, as well as a pinkish Pantone colour.

## Threshold

### Garrick Hemlock

*Mentioned in: RAIN*
Garrick Hemlock is the head of the Hemlock Clan. When Robin Lincoln and her friends arrived at Knothole, her parents were absent - upon their return her father mentioned that things with Lord Garrick had gone well, implying they were on a diplomatic venture.
Weapon

The **weapons** of various characters in the RAIN comic are used to fight enemies and monsters throughout Remnant.

Most often, they are based on real-life weapons, but they can be combined with other weapons or given additional features to increase their versatility and effectiveness in combat.

## Design

### Transformations

Though standard weapons exist, the majority of weapons shown in the comic are usually designed to be transformable. Weapons tend to possess two or more selected forms, and the wielder is capable of freely swapping between each weapon state depending on their needs. These weapons tend to have both a melee and combat state, though this is not always the case.

### Dust

Some weapons are shown to be fueled by Dust. By doing so, Huntsmen combine brute force with effects like object enchantment and elemental attacks such as weather and nature manipulation. It is implied that all "firearms" in Remnant use Dust ammunition.
Penelope Gate

Place of origin:

 **Penelope Gate** was the human creator of a time machine.

The first time she successfully used her time machine, she used a lightning strike to charge it up. She travelled to 1996 where she obtained a mutated Tzun battery. She used that to power her machine. Penelope met the Seventh Doctor, who took her back to her own time of 1883. (PROSE: *The Room With No Doors*)

Later in her life she would meet the Time Lord Ulysses, whom she married. She moved to Gallifrey. Unbeknownst to the High Council, they had a son together. (PROSE: *The Gallifrey Chronicles*)

Penelope and Ulysses became friends with Mr Saldaamir, whom they frequently went exploring with. Penelope, Saldaamir and Ulysses also associated themselves with Lady Larna, who was from their future.

When the Time Lord Marnal threatened to expose Penelope's and Ulysses's activities, they used the telepathic circuits of his TARDIS, which would later belong to the Doctor to wipe his memory and dumped him on Earth in England, 1883, to board with Penelope's mother. (PROSE: *The Gallifrey Chronicles*)

## Appearance

On Gallifrey Penelope wore an ankle-length skirt and prim white blouse, with long red hair that "hung wild to her waist". (PROSE: *The Gallifrey Chronicles*)

## Behind the scenes

The character of Penelope Gate's Time Lord husband Ulysses derives from Philip Segal's backstory for a proposed late 1990s revival of *Doctor Who* for which his television movie introducing the Eighth Doctor served as an unsuccessful pilot. The Doctor's search for his father would have served as a story arc for that series.

### Semblance

Carolina's semblance, Haywire, allows her to disrupt others' semblances causing them to lose control of them. This only works as long as she is maintaining physical contact with them.

	+ Her surname is Scandinavian, tying back to the Norse allusion.

Siphon

**Siphon** is Gardner Braith's semblance.

It allows him to drain the aura of opponents through physical contact.

## Description

Through physical contact, Gardner can drain someone else’s aura and add it to his own. A side affect of absorbing the extension of someone’s soul and personality allows him to read their emotions.

This said, the effect is so powerful that he tends to do damage to his own body in the transaction - such as tearing his cheeks open because he opens his mouth too wide. The surplus of aura will usually heal any damage, but some things remain, such as the scarring on the left side of his face.

As well as this, Gardner has a tendency to simply mill around, basking in the taste of someone’s aura, but this doesn’t mean he is vulnerable. Getting too close will make him retaliate, but if he is left alone he won’t actively pursue an enemy until he’s digested the situation a little.

## Trivia

* Siphon is reflective of Gardner's allusion to the sin of Gluttony.
	+ It is an ability that allows him to *consume* other auras.

## Appearance

While shorter than his teammates, Oxblood is still a fairly large man. He has slightly tanned skin, cropped red hair and dull red eyes. His eyebrows are fairly thick, and he styles his facial hair in a handlebar mustache which makes him appear much older than he is.

Oxblood wears mostly red leather armour with darker accents along with gold trim. His upper arms are mostly bare, but his lower arms are covered by elbow-length gloves.

## Personality

Oxblood seems to be vaguely more mature than his team partner Horace, offering support when the hurt is offended by Akane's words, but still shares in his brash showmanship, developing short rhymes based on their names to introduce themselves.

Viorel Braith/Behind the Scenes

Overview
**Behind the Scenes**

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Viorel Braith alludes to the Deadly Sin of Pride, following their family's theme of the Seven Deadly Sins. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:

* Viorel has a prideful and narcissistic streak - they refer to Team RAIN as ‘children’ despite being younger than they are:
	+ “I think I’m marginally above playing board games with children, or whatever it is you’re suggesting.”
* They refer to society at large as 'ants’.
	+ *“…he can use it to find his way to Atlas or Mantle or Capstone or wherever else the damn ants live!”*
* They also believe themselves to be above murder, but expects people such as Viola to commit such crimes, suggesting they have a low opinion of their siblings.
	+ *“That was your idea, thinking we were so-o-o above murder”* - Viola Braith.

## Emblem

   Viorel's symbol is a combination of the Venus and Mars symbols, the symbols of female and male genders, in the shape of an infinity symbol. This reflects the ever-changing nature and fluidity of Viorel's gender.

## Production

* Viorel's signature colour was originally white, and they were named Akira.
Leonardo Lionheart

Professor **Leonardo Lionheart** is the headmaster of Haven Academy.

## Details

*See Leonardo's page on the canon RWBY wiki.*
## Role in RAIN Comic

After their initial run in with the Braith Family on Silva and the disappearance of Nyssa Noirette, the remaining members of Team RAIN head to Mistral and inform Professor Lionheart, their headmaster, of the threat the Braiths pose.

Professor Lionheart is unable to aid the team thanks to issues presented by recent Grimm attacks that call for all hands on deck, so he decides to leave the Braith threat under the jurisdiction of Team RAIN. When the students question this decision, he tells them he only expects them to keep track of their enemies and report back to him.

## Abilities and Powers

### Weapon

Leonardo arms himself with a buckler shield/palette known as Stalwart, which allows him to combine and fire different types of dust.

### Semblance

Once a more resolute man according to Ozpin, Lionheart’s semblance, "Overlook", allowed him to passively make foes forget some of their abilities.

In his prime Leo would throw himself into fights with the Grimm and force them to forget their unique powers - he was a shoo-in for any fight against the Apathy - making the playing field much more manageable for his allies.

Unfortunately, Overlook is also useful against humans. One might ask “Why didn’t Ruby use her semblance to get to Jaune and Cinder?” Overlook is the answer. With Lionheart in the room, many of those at the Battle of Haven were often prone to forgetting abilities or weapons in their arsenal.

## Trivia

* Given that he is in league with Salem during the point in time he appears in the comic, it may be that Leonardo assumes the Braiths are tied to her and intends on having Team RAIN killed off to diminish any threat.
* Lionheart does not have a canon semblance in RWBY. His semblance in RAIN, "Overlook", comes from Neopoliitan's "Unknown Semblance Headcanons" post.

## Trivia

Donovan Lundie

**Donovan Lundie** is a member of the Vacuan criminal gang unofficially known as the Crazy Bunch. His weapon of choice is a heavy-duty machine gun that slugs explosive dust, known as Big Augur.

During the Battle of Unsei Ridge, he is killed by William Lincoln when the latter unlocks his semblance.

## Appearance

Donovan is a tall, heavily-built musteline faunus in his mid-to-late thirties. He has a square jaw and a wide nose, with dark brown hair and green eyes. Running horizontally across his face he has a patch of fur matching the common marking of a ferret. He wears a brown cowboy hat with a lighter brown stripe around it.

He wears dark grey trousers and tall brown boots with metal toe caps.

## Personality

Donovan does not seem easily impressed, as he glares at the state of Zenith while Gilroy Flanagan speaks with Kamala Braith. In combat he shows little care for the seriousness of the situation, as he can be seen taking swigs of alcohol while firing randomly with his weapon.

## Death

**Killed by:**

* William Lincoln

Donovan firing his explosive dust rounds at Akane Amaranth triggers Wil's aura. When stabilised by Marron Armona, Wil gains his semblance - and in a rage he vaporises Donovan with it.

ZRCN/Bianca Rossi

## Bianca Rossi

**Bianca Rossi** is a key antagonist in ZRCN. The second of Alden Rossi's daughters, she is the elder sister to Belleza and Calantha Rossi.

## Appearance

Bianca is seemingly of average height, with pale skin, long white hair and piercing red eyes. Like her sisters, she wears a bright red piece of jewellery - in this case, a bracelet over her right wrist.

She wears a beige turtleneck with a white cape over one shoulder, along with a knee-length skirt and black boots which reach just below the knee.

## Personality

Bianca is easily the most level-headed and business-like of the three Rossi sisters. She is the peacekeeper in their family, keeping her two sisters from getting distracted, and where Belleza seems to risk their goals in order to cause more harm to others, Bianca does seem to have an honest endgame in mind.

Unlike her elder sister, Bianca displays some degree of actual connection to her sisters - particularly Calantha, whom she is somewhat protective of even after the latter's defection.

## Abilities and Powers

Though she has not been shown in combat, Bianca has the command of multiple underlings who are extremely capable. Unlike her sister Belleza, she does not seem to command as much cult-like loyalty from her followers.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Belleza alludes to Regan from King Lear.
	+ Like Regan, Bianca is the second of three sisters.
	+ While Goneril and Regan are considered villains, Cordelia is not - much like how Belleza and Bianca are considered villains, but Calantha is not.
	+ Like Regan, Bianca has an elderly father.

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Bianca " is an Italian cognate of the name "Blanche", meaning "white, fair."

* Rossi derives from the Italian "rosso", which in turn derives from the Latin "russus" meaning "red".
Elysium Academy

Elysium Academy is a primary combat school of Mistral, located in Tsubaki District at the base of the city.

## History

Just before Nyssa Noirette reunites with her Team in Tsubaki district, she remarks that Elysium Academy is nearby. Nanako Amaranth remarks that she is confused as to why her older sister Akane elected to study at Elysium Academy rather than Sanctum Academy in Argus, dubbing the school 'Ewww-lysium' and saying it is 'for suckers'. In response, her three teammates all note that they studied at Elysium, prompting Nanako to realise they were friends there before they even knew her - and that she's the 'sucker'.

## Former Students

* Akane Amaranth
* Jin-Shi Pan
* Isambard Nihtholt
* Petra Redwood

## Trivia

* As seen with Haven and Sanctum, Elysium continues Mistral's trend of naming Combat Schools after places of privacy, safety and refuge.
ZRCN/Belleza Rossi

**Belleza Rossi** is a key antagonist in ZRCN. The de facto leader of her family's operations, she is the elder sister to Bianca and Calantha Rossi.

## Appearance

Bianca is seemingly of above average height, with pale skin, short white hair and piercing red eyes. Like her sisters, she wears a bright red piece of jewellery - in this case, her earrings.

She wears a long red jacket with a white fur collar, over a black shirt with a low neckline. Her trousers are light grey, and held up with a white belt, along with knee-high brown stiletto boots.

## Personality

Belleza is the most erratic and sadistic of her siblings, easily irritated and turned to violence. It appears she has little concept of morality, as she shows no remorse for her actions.

While she claims to be protecting her family, she shows precious little bonds with her sisters - continuously arguing with Bianca, and instantly turning on Calantha when the latter defects.

Belleza's haste to turn to violence makes her unpredictable, but also displays a lack of self-preservation, as she has no unlocked aura.

## Abilities and Powers

Though she has not been shown in combat often, Belleza has the command of multiple underlings who are extremely capable - and even the undying loyalty of some of those, such as Miho Ryuzaki.

### Weaknesses

As she has no unlocked aura, Belleza is extremely susceptible to sustaining damage in combat.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Belleza alludes to Goneril from King Lear.
	+ Like Goneril, Belleza is the eldest of three sisters.
	+ While Goneril and Regan are considered villains, Cordelia is not - much like how Belleza and Bianca are considered villains, but Calantha is not.
	+ Like Goneril, Belleza has an elderly father.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Belleza derives from the Spanish for 'beauty'.
* Rossi derives from the Italian "rosso", which in turn derives from the Latin "russus" meaning "red".
Phoebe Lake

**Phoebe Lake** is a student from Anvil Academy and a member of Team JSPR. Her team consists of Jasper Sarlatova, Asagi Sarikaya, and Khloris Rhodes.

## Appearance

Phoebe is a girl of average height with sweeping white-blue hair which she keeps tied in a tight ponytail. She has dark, round eyebrows and yellow-orange eyes.

Phoebe wears a white dress shirt with the left sleeve rolled up, over a blue tube top. She wears a dark waist cincher, to which she attaches suspenders and a half-skirt with a feathery trim.

Her high-waisted trousers fall somewhat baggy, and she keeps them tucked into her mid-calf heeled white boots. She also wears short blue fingerless gloves.

## Character

Phoebe was only young when her elder brother, Baccara, was tragically slain in his third year at a huntsman academy, but she understood the effects it had on her parents all too well.

Her parents only wanted her to be safe after their eldest child’s demise, but their eternal emptiness and overwhelming caution only drove her further towards the path her brother had once taken. She knew she didn’t belong - she wasn’t just their second son, she was someone brand new, and breaking away finally made her happy.

Unlike her team-mates, Phoebe doesn’t talk much. She keeps herself to herself, and only pitches in when she has something worth saying - but that won’t prevent her from becoming flustered when she gets to do something she’s never experienced or has always wanted to do.

Phoebe despises the Grimm more than most - not only because they took her brother, but because his demise turned her parents into fearful husks. She wants to rid the world of them - but she won’t let that quest take priority over experiencing everything she missed out on as a child.

## Abilities and Powers

In comparison to her teammates, Phoebe values light precision strikes over brute force. Her pistol-sword hybrids come in handy, and make her the most maneuverable member of Team JSPR. Eyrie was once Baccara’s weapon set of choice, and now they live on with his sister.

### Semblance

Phoebe’s disdain for Grimm runs so deep and so personal that her semblance developed to keep enemies focused solely on her. She can forcibly pull a target’s focus onto her, making her the only thing they can pay attention to, creating openings for her teammates.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Phoebe alludes to the fairy tale of the Ugly Duckling.
* Much like the events of the story, Phoebe was finally happy when she found who and what she was meant to be - and this extends not only to her role as a combatant, but also her gender identity.
* An eyrie is also the nest of a bird of prey, circling back to her avian allusion.
* Swans are considered glamourous animals, hence Phoebe's eye-catching semblance.

### Colour Naming Rule

* “Phoebe” is a Greek name meaning ‘bright, pure.’
* "Lake" refers to a large body of water.

### Miscellaneous

* Phoebe is transgender.

## Caspian Oxford

**Caspian Oxford** is a member of the Oxford Family; the son of Gorman and Nerissa, and the brother of ZRCN protagonist Neela Oxford, as well as Mira.

## Appearance

Caspian is a young man with pale skin and light blue eyes. His dark blue hair is short but somehwat shaggy, with a parting just off-center.

He dresses smart but somewhat casually, with his white collared shirt unbuttoned somewhat. Over his shirt he wears a blue collared jacket. His left ear is pierced.

## Abilities and Powers

Caspian is noted to be proficient in combat, but allegedly not to the extent of a huntsman or huntress.

### Semblance

Known as "Buoyancy", Caspian's semblance allows him to walk on water.

## Trivia

	+ Asterion is often closely linked to Inachus and Cephisus, two fellow river gods who are mentioned in the same myth.
		- These gods are also the allusions of his friends Clinton and Nerio, tying them altogether.

Blaine Besart/Behind the Scenes

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.

## Character Basis

Blaine Besart alludes to King Midas of Greek Mythology. This allusion has had the following influences on the character:

* Blaine's semblance is named "Gold Touch", which lets him apply a damage amplifier to any target he touches and gives them a golden sheen. This references how King Midas had the power to turn anything he touched to gold.

## Emblem

Blaine's symbol is a hand holding out an alchemical symbol for gold, furthering the reference to the King Midas myth.
Amaretto Alvarado

**Amaretto Alvarado** is a student from Shade Academy and a member of Team BASL. His team is led by his twin sister Brandy, and consists of Sherry Rosalia and Arioch Lundie.

## Character

Amaretto is the second half of the Alvarado twins. The illegitimate son of the outlaw Gilroy Flanagan, Amaretto bears more than a passing resemblance to his absentee father, to the mild consternation of his family.

The constant underlying comparison to his father has instilled a gruff aggression in Amaretto. Nowadays it’s best to leave the topic alone entirely lest his anger boil over, leading him to disappear and curse to himself in a cornfield.

Brandy is the brains of the twins’ operation, and Amaretto is the muscle - it’s better that he’s told what to do, as he’s somewhat accident-prone when left to his own devices. He keeps quiet most of the time, preferring to let his sister do the talking and wait to see if things get physical.

His inspiration is that of Jack from ‘Jack and Jill’, complementing the ‘Jill’ of his twin sister, Brandy.

## Abilities and Powers

### Weapon

Amaretto is a sturdy combatant, and his weapon reflects this. He wields Broncbuster, a double-barreled shotgun. While it technically only has one form, Amaretto isn’t afraid to get up close and personal to batter people with the stock.

### Semblance

In contrast to his sister, Amaretto possesses the ability to sober others - specifically, he is able to erase dizziness, nausea, and fatigue in others.

Unfortunately (for someone born in the alcohol capital of Remnant, at least), Amaretto’s semblance leaves him entirely unable to get drunk.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Amaretto's inspiration is that of Jack from ‘Jack and Jill’, complementing the ‘Jill’ of his twin sister, Brandy.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Brandy is a dark orange alcoholic drink.
* Alvarado: from Spanish Alba; “white”.
Chrislaure Charbonneau

**Chrislaure Charbonneau** is a student from Haven Academy and a member of Team MOCA. Their team consists of Miyuki Yamasaki, Oren Ashworth and Aurelia Besart.

## Character

Chrislaure is the most vocal and social member of Team MOCA - often going as far as to speak for both herself and her girlfriend, the aloof Aurelia.

Chrislaure is almost always active, unless she’s asleep. To stop herself going stir crazy she’ll end up out on the prowl looking for trouble, which has earned her a fair share of disciplinaries from both the Haven faculty and Aurelia.

She was raised mainly by the Sisterhood, an underground organisation that takes in stray children from Mistral and trains them to defend themselves. This thankfully prevented her from being indoctrinated into the White Fang’s affairs, and resulted in her being much more well-adjusted. Many children from the Sisterhood join a Huntsman Academy when they come of age, and Chrislaure is no exception.

## Abilities and Powers

### Weapon

Chrislaure fights with Wyvern Wing, a weapon resembling a "bat’leth" that can split apart into two individual swords.

### Semblance

By focusing her semblance, Chrislaure can visualise soundwaves. This combined with her keen sense of hearing means that she can easily detect the most miniscule of sounds from a notable distance.

## Trivia

### Allusion

* Chrislaure is based on the concept of Gargoyles, folkloric creatures based on an architectural element often depicted with batlike wings.

### Colour Naming Rule

* Chrislaure - From Greek *Chryseos*; “Golden”
* Charbonneau - From French *Charbon*; “Charcoal”
Rouge Carmine

**Rouge Carmine** was a member of the Vacuan criminal gang unofficially known as the Crazy Bunch. She was hinted to be in a relationship with Mason Harlow. During the Battle at Unsei Ridge, she wielded a pistol-knife known as Painted Lady, presumably looted from Kiiroibara.

## Appearance

Rouge was a woman in her late twenties with black hair, thick eyebrows and green eyes. She wore a red jacket secured with a brown belt over a white button-down shirt and black-brown scarf.

She also wore sandy yellow trousers and black-brown cowboy boots with silver spurs.

## Personality

Rouge was smug and aggressive, mocking enemies such as Lilli Lincoln. She would also do anything in self preservation, even holding a toddler at knifepoint.

## Death

**Killed by:**

* William Lincoln

Following Sterling's maiming at the hands of Robin, the tables turn on the Crazy Bunch and Rouge planned to flee with Maylis Lincoln as a hostage. Holding the child at knifepoint, she warned Robin Lincoln not to make any moves, but was taken unaware when William Lincoln shot her in the head with his crossbow, killing her instantly.

## Abilities and Powers

Rouge presumably had some amount of competence as a criminal and mercenary, as she was not apprehended while at large for 'years'.

## Trivia

### Colour Naming Rule

* "Rouge" is French for Red.
* "Carmine" is a general term for a deep red colour.

### Miscellaneous

* Rouge was killed by William Lincoln in a manner that reflected his allusion. William Tell is known for shooting an apple off of his son's head; Wil shot a crossbow bolt over his niece's head to save her.
* Rouge was presumably in a relationship with Mason Harlow, as Gilroy introduces them as 'the couple'.
