Scarlet (BS)

This is Scarlet prior to her being a member of Pioneer and during her heydays as a member of the Melee Squad and later the legendary Goddess squad. Unlike most Nikkes, she and her sister Rose were modified mass-produced Nikke specialized in melee combat. Contrasting the laidback wanderer she would later become, Scarlet at this time is a serious, no-nonsense woman. Improving her strength and swordplay are the first and last thing on her mind, plus everything in between. She also used to despise alcohol, seeing it as bitter swill that only eccentrics (including her sister Rose) enjoyed the taste of. Though Scarlet comes off as having a bit of a thrill-seeker (constantly asking for duels, getting into fights with Dorothy, etc.), a good chunk of it stems from her personal tragedy, of forging wrought-iron bonds with her old squad and her sister, only to have it all turn to dust, partly by her own hand. She has yet to come to terms with Rose's philosophy, of accepting that nothing in this world is eternal, for good and for ill. Perhaps one day, Scarlet will finally learn to let go of what has transpired, jagged edges and bared steel giving way to a flower that blooms briefly and beautifully. Until that day, she will strive to fulfill the wish her sister made in her last moments; that she'd become strong enough that none but her would decide her own fate.
