"The sweetest of words have the bitterest taste."
For her first five years of life, Scarlet's whole world was perfect. Until her mother developed Brief Psychotic Disorder. She would lash out at her daughter and her husband, going completly insane. Then in the next moment, she would be looking around, not knowing what happened. Then her father was killed in a car crash with Scarlet and her mother in the car. Durring one of her little 'moments' her mother freaked out, saying that her own daughter was the reason for the accident. She had covered her fathers eyes and caused him to crash into another car. In truth, Ell had just stood up for a second to gently brush off some dirt from her father's cheek. Still being young, she believed her mother. Her aunt (from her father's side) spread the word that little Scar had been the reason for her brother's death, and people actually believed the old coot. Ashamed and not realizing that it had been her that started the rumor, her mother committed suicide, leaving a note that blamed her daughter. It was shocking what cruel, ugly things people said to Scarlet. When people tried to stand up for her, they dismissed it saying, 'She's too young to even know what I'm saying. She won't even remember'. But, she did. It scarred her for life. Scar tried to act like nothing had happened, and moved in with her grandparents. But she never forgot how gentle her father's smile had been, and how enamoring her mother's laugh was.
