Description:

Scarlet has the appearance of innocence: large hazel eyes that hooded heavily and framed by dark lashes, a small button nose that is centered on her face and small yet full lips that have a strong cupid’s bow all aligned on her heart shaped face. Broad yet small shoulders tower over a slender waist while small breasts are greatly overshadowed by her rather stocky hips, giving her pear body shape slightly more definition. Standing in at 5ft, 9 inches (175.26cm), Scarlet can seem rather intimidating- especially since she has a very stoutly built- however because her face is rather innocent looking, she is often regarded as ‘harmless’ from those who do not know her or her set of skills well.
Due to her impatience with trivial things such as caring for long hair, Scarlet keeps her hair shaggily short and unkempt. Parted to the side or pinned up out of her face, Scarlet does not need to wear her hair up during work or while doing required tasks therefore she doesn’t style it much and only cuts it when it becomes a nuisance. Likewise, Scarlet is not one to decorate her face with makeup or spray perfume on her body unless it is mandatory for her to do so her skin is often clear, free of blemishes such as pimples or blackheads. However this does not mean her skin is porcelain. Scarlet has various scars that litter her body from fighting, training, or past skirmishes. One particular ‘scar’ that is noticeable to almost anyone who ever meets Scarlet is a grotesque mutilation that sits right above her neck, wrapping itself around her throat. To keep speculations or questions, Scarlet will often wear thick fabric chokers.
Clothes or fashion do not concern Scarlet in the least and she is often seen worn hand-me downs that drape off her body in an unsightly and unflattering way. Due to the way she dresses herself, Scarlet often looks larger than her actual size. However when fighting or on missions, Scarlet dresses to convience. Black clothing with lots of pockets and hidden compartments are worn as well as several weapon halters that is worn underneath and over her clothing, ready for use or for last resort situations.

Personality:
Scarlet is a very quiet individual who possesses a lot of self-control. Similar to the very dog she raised, Scarlet is extremely loyal person who does what is asked of her without a second thought with the intention of feeling needed and finding her own place within this world. This thought gives her a very warped idea of the world itself and other peoples’ lives including her own. In fact, the only life she considered valuable is her dearest Astros’. Perhaps it is because she sees herself in him that she wants to protect him so dearly.
Despite her resilient urge to protect what is dear to her, Scarlet will not allow such things to be used against her as she is a very hard person to manipulate. Hold her loved things hostage or damage what is close to her very soul and you may have a fight on your hands that you wished you had not started. Skilled in combat, both long range and hand-to-hand, Scarlet barely uses her magic ability and this is especially so since she is skilled in gunmanship and combat with handheld knives (although she is completely useless with weapons like swords considering that she treats it has a small knife. This often results in her own self getting injured more than the person she is fighting).
She does not fear death however Scarlet knows when to back out of a fight and she knows how to strategize relatively well therefore if the possibility of her dying rises above a 64.7 percentage and it is over something that is not in regards to her mission or a required fight, Scarlet will normally back down. She is not one to rush towards death without stable reasoning.
However, because Scarlet is still a living thing and no robot, she does have various weaknesses and urges which she will satisfy herself inconspicuously without the SCION knowing. These will often include night-outs to the bars to drink alone, long walks in the park, some high-end window shopping or one night stands with strangers whose faces she does not bother to remember. She is extremely careful while she partakes in such activities and will often wear restrictive tools that completely mask her abilities as self-control is often hard for her to do whenever she does participate in these human happenings.

Skills:
As stated before, Scarlet is extremely capable in combat fighting in general and has exquisite gunmanship as well as handheld knife handling.
Scarlet is also very proficient in keeping secrets or confidential information as she will often never speak about it again unless it is to the directed person which the information was intended for. There has been several situations in which Scarlet has chosen torture rather than talking.
Her magical ability however is something on a rather different level. Scarlet has the magic ability to control the living’s energy force. She can take away a person’s life force and add it to her own life force which allows it to somewhat ‘lengthen’ the years she is able to walk this earth. Scarlet also has the unique ability to manipulate such energy so it becomes a tangible and visible thing.


Weaknesses:
However powerful her ability may be, such a power will surely have a far greater cost. Scarlet, when using this ability will not only eventually lose her life (that is, if she overexerts too much at one time) but she will also end up losing her humanity, her entire being as well as the memories and sanity she has obtained. This power will literately leave her as a pile of somewhat conscious rotting flesh that allows her to feel only pain. This in itself is enough to scare Scarlet enough to restrict her usage as extended or prolonged use of her own magical ability will cause such an occurrence. The so-called scar on her neck is the leftover of what could be and if Scarlet is reckless enough to overuse her own ability, the scar will deepen or spread and pain will engulf her entire body.
Another weakness one could say that Scarlet has is her complete loyalty she has towards the SCION or those who gain her trust. Because of this trait, Scarlet can easily become a lapdog to any agency she is willing to follow.

Brief History:
Born as an orphan who fell into a dark magic occult which specialized in underground assassination, Scarlet has been training hard to control her powers from before she could even remember. The practice of the magic occult included eternal silence which meant that children who were able to progress into the clan’s adulthood would have their tongues removed. Although the sound of having your tongue removed is quite the fearsome and gritty thought, it was considered the highest honor and something all the children and lower-status occult members wished for- even Scarlet was yearning for her tongue to be removed.
Assigned underneath a higher clan member, Scarlet began her training to control her unique magical powers and to gain physical combat skills. She trained with five other children and although she was below average with her fighting skills, Scarlet was particularly well known due to her unique magical ability. She was praised by the high ordered- the only members of the occult who was permitted to speak- and given the tittle of Cardinal before the final test was even administrated. At the age of what appeared to be year fifteen of her life, Scarlet and her training comrades entered into the final test that would determine whether or not she would have the absolute honor of removing her tongue.
However the test given was something Scarlet was unable to do- to execute her fellow occult members whom she trained so hard to do. Despite her own discomfort, the other children seemed unfazed by the final test and went away with butchering each other. This led Scarlet half dead and abandoned on the streets of the world above- a world she had never once experienced before. Those within the world of which she was refrained from where much friendlier than those who had previously thrown her away. Listed within the local city news as the “miracle child who was brought back from the dead after a ‘brutal mugging’”, Scarlet gained attention from all sorts of ends.
One particular interest she gain was a man with name of Noel. He was similar to her, having a nearly identical magic ability. By pure chance, he confronted her and soon after adopted Scarlet, taking her underneath his wing as his own daughter and further teaching her about her own abilities. The grotesque mark that slowly began to appear on her neck was something he was unfamiliar with although with time and knowledge, it was soon discovered that Scarlet’s abilities was that of a double-edged sword. She was prohibited to use her abilities around him or at all.
He taught her the basics of controlling it, of hiding it which allowed her remain normal for the short amount of time he was with her. However he never taught her how to use it to her own advantage in combat but merely deepened her knowledge of physical combat. Despite their attempts to try and hide the magical power, Scarlet’s scar slowly got deeper due to her inept ability to listen to him whenever she was alone.
Not long after what seemed like her twenty-first birthday, SCION formed once again as an independent establishment and Noel slowly began to become ill. While Noel had not the same physical side-effect of Scarlet’s power, he his power (like Scarlet’s) was not free. Shortly after the formation of the establishment, Noel passed away peacefully in his sleep and left with nothing else, Scarlet joined SCION. She has been servicing them with her abilities as their fighter ever since.

Other:
Seemingly always by her side, Scarlet has a medium, white dog that she picked up named Astros. Scarlet found Astros as a puppy abandoned on the streets. He is currently three years old and from what Scarlet can guess, is a Samoyed-Husky mix. He is an extremely faithful and loyal dog who will even venture out on missions or fights with her and is known to be extremely aggressive to anyone but Scarlet. Another added plus Scarlet found about Astros was that he is immune to any kind of mind altering or controlling magic (the reason for this is unknown, even to Scarlet herself).
