Character
General
Scarlet Snow is originally from Ishgard, her mother being Elezen of unknown name (Elowen is rumored to be her name) and her father (Tristan Snow) an old time adventurer who settled down with a smith shop after becoming a father. Scarlet's past was always full of joy growing up with Tristan from playing with her father to learning and helping him with his shop. Thought her life seemed simple and loving, her thoughts always wondered off about her mother and why they lived outside of Ishgard. As Scarlet grew up, she met with an Ishgardian warrior with an irregular name (Akashi) who she befriended, and later they became more. Scarlet’s tragic incident washed away her past and gave way into a new one, the only thing connecting her to her past is a sword she carries and fragments of memory that occasionally are triggered by current events.

Personality
Scarlet is a very friendly and gullible person always believing a bad person will change for the better even when the signs say otherwise. Scarlet often shies away from a conversation, but if you get her going in a conversation she will talk your ear off. Scarlet has a Strict Code of honor that she has modified and followed ever since training with Master Cota (Rafael Cota), and it is the only thing she believes should be followed by everyone. She constantly nags at Master Cota (Rafael Cota) for breaking his own code and getting her into trouble.
Combat
General
In her past while she shared her life with Akashi, Akashi would teach her how to gracefully swing her sword. Later in her life, after her tragedy Akashi lessons became her fighting instinct but forgotten as to how she learned. Master Cota (Rafael Cota) later rescued her and bestowed upon her years of knowledge in the art of swordplay. Scarlet's fighting styles derives from two branches of style the Samnite/Murmillo in which she evolved for her own, and adopted a Venator style in which she use a lance or spear. Scarlet never derives from her Code of honor and if the opponent can be spared she will give her 110% to save the person life. Scarlet believes the sword is a tool to protect and not to be used to take life even if other would not agree. Despite her young age for an Elezen/hyur. she is very collected when a battle can’t be avoided, Scarlet is very collected and analyses the situation before attacking or defending, thought her physical strength is not her key strength she is able to use her opponents skills and own strength against them. Scarlet always tends to analyze everyone skills while they are being used just if fate demands they be enemies in the future.

Scarlet and her father lived in Haldrath’s March where she lived most of her childhood. Scarlet's past was always full of joy growing up with Tristan from playing with her father to learning and helping him with his shop. One day while Tristan was out, Scarlet was taking care of the store on her own, an ishgardian warrior with an irregular name. The warrior came in with the intention of having his shield and sword repaired, Scarlet did not normally do the harder jobs around the store, but something told her, perhaps fate, to help the warrior. Time passed and the warrior frequently visited the store, with time Scarlet befriended Akashi and eventually the couple became more. With Tristan’s blessing Akashi visited more and more, but with every time Scarlet me this intriguing man she became more and more curious to what he did even went as far as to ask him how to dance with a sword. For many months they shared days full of training and nights colored in love, but Scarlet did not realize her dream would soon come to an end.
On the 20th sun of the 3rd astral moon Scarlet’s life would change forever, leaving her life to be a faded memory. On this night a group of passing bandit set eyes on their shop. While Akashi was called in on a last minute notice the bandits raided the shop, breaking in making their presence noticed Tristan a very sturdy adventurer on his days picked up a sword to protect Scarlet and himself, he swung his sword parrying as many attacks as he could but this adventurer time had long passed he was cut down in front of Scarlet. Scarlet panicked seeing her father slain in front of her, she picked up a sword scared to the last fiber of her being she swung the sword left and right up and down trying to repel them away wishing they would leave, but life is not always beautiful, one of the bandits was able to repel the sword with his own then striking Scarlet with his fist knocking her down to the ground. Hurt and humiliated Scarlet was dragged by her leg out to the front of the shop, Scarlet came to her senses again and as she noticed she was being dragged somewhere she started struggling again kicking and screaming, the bandit who got tired of her struggling decided to hit her again but this time he would have some fun with her.
Akashi who was coming back from his duties came upon the scene and without a thought the warrior unsheathe his sword, the bandit fell to the ground almost instantly, Akashi position himself between Scarlet and the bandits to protect his love one, one…two…three bandits fell before Akashi sword, Akashi promising Scarlet that he would protect her, Scarlet starting feeling at ease…almost safe, she watched as Akashi defended her and moved around the bandits with skill and grace, but just when Scarlet thought it was over an arrow was shot from behind her and struck Akashi from behind the knee, almost immediately kneeling him to the ground. Akashi knowing the situation turned his head to Scarlet and left her with a 4 final words, “Be strong…I lov……” and before Akashi could finish he was slain in front of her. Scarlet was world was totally shattered in one night, she was shocked scared and paralyze with fear. Soon after they finished Akashi the remaining bandits turn there gaze at Scarlet, seeing her as to much trouble they used her, played her and force themselves on her…When they were done, they left her for dead with a stab wound on her abdomen and made away with everything they could.
Scarlet with the last of her strength dragged herself over to Akashi, where Scarlet laid her head on him waiting for her life to end. One…two…four…hours passed it is uncertain how much time passed a passing Free company investigating a sudden anomaly happen to cross the tragic scene. A member of the Free company clad in black armor approach the site, Scarlet came thru from her state of unconsciousness and noticed everything was covered in snow for except her immediate area, there was Red snow all around her, she then noticed the mad clad in black approaching. With barely any strength and convinced it was the bandits she grabbed Akashi’s sword and sprinted towards the warrior, but collapsed right at his feet.
Scarlet fell in a coma for 6-7 months, while her body and mind recovered the calamity was set in motion, and while she dreamed about events passed the moon finally fell...
