| − | ==== The Beginning ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | :On the second sun of the third astral moon, year 1553, Rhotwyda Bleimoenwyn was born into a small, recluse clan on the mountains of Abalathia's Spine. Her family comes from a long line of traditional Hellsguard whose ancestors stood vigilant on the high, volcanic peeks to keep the spirits of the underworld from fleeing into the realm of the living. Two other clans of different specialities neighbored her own - those who traveled to Farreach to train in the ways of the warrior when they came of age and a trading clan who traveled to Ul'dah in caravans to trade goods. Scarlet's parents were notable elders in the clan, one of white magic - her father - and one of black magic - her mother. The elders were teachers in the clan, passing down their knowledge to their young ones so that they could take up the traditions as so. Scarlet, at first, started off headstrong with these ideals in hand, becoming her mother's understudy when she was eight. Not long after did the tiresome teachings and readings and scriptures and ceremonies and oh god, those meditations, became increasingly boring to Scarlet. It also became clear to her mother that no matter how many of these things she did daily, her daughter showed no sign of improving. A rareness, especially from one who came from two mage parents, but Scarlet held very little aether inside her and, on some occasions, would get incredibly sick when surrounded by too much of it. This led to a tension that grew steadily as Scarlet grew between herself and her mother. | |
| − | : At twelve cycles, Scarlet began her mild obsession with the neighboring warrior clan. She snuck over once or twice or a dozen times after excessively being told not to, and almost hitched a caravan ride to Farreach if her father hadn't found her hiding between the crates. She loved watching the warriors train, enjoyed that aspect of the thrill of the battle. Her mother disapproved of her wanting to train, but her father had different opinions. While disappointed with her inability to follow their clan tradition, he didn't feel it was right - and quite frankly a waste of time - to continue Scarlet through her training as a mage when she could barely produce the most simplest of magicks. At thirteen cycles, Scarlet began her training as a warrior. It was an entirely different experience, not only from a disciplinary perspective but also from a cultural perspective. This produced a far lesser approved idea in Scarlet's head. She wanted to leave Abalathia's Spine. This actually happened when she turned sixteen cycles, but before then it was an uphill battle fifteen malms through the snow driven mountains of Coerthas.
| |
| − | : Scarlet's uncle on her father's side worked in the clan that specified in the trading caravan services. On two occasions Scarlet successfully managed to tuck herself away in his caravan only to be found further down the road both times. Her parents were wary, her mother more-so than her father, of her newest disposition. She couldn't speak nor read Eorzean and she had no lay of the land past the mountains that were her home. A valid point, really, but her uncle remedied this. He spoke decent Eorzean and could read it even better, so he taught her after her lessons with the warrior clan. A friend of his, an odd hermit who lived by himself away from all the clans, came by to tell Scarlet stories of the whole of Eorzea, usually exaggerated but it made for good fun and experience. At sixteen, without her mother's blessing and her father's still wary blessing, Scarlet left Abalathia's Spine with what knowledge she took away from her home and hitched a ride on her uncle's caravan on its way to Ul'dah.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== The Middle ==== | |
| − | | |
| − | : In the year 1569, Scarlet started her new life in Ul'dah after having come down from Abalathia's Spine through her uncle's trading caravan service, and officially changed her name from Rhotwyda to Scarlet Willow. In retrospect, for about the first year Scarlet was beginning to think this was quiet possibly the worst idea she'd ever come up with. A culture shock, more so than anything, with the noise and people and language barrier. She found herself at a loss at what to pursue with her new-found freedom. At first, she tried mercantilism, like her uncle, but soon found herself a better haggler on the consumer side and more of an aggressive haggler on the selling end - it wasn't good for business. A somewhat steady job she did find after a while was working for the nobles of Ul'dah. A lot of lazy work - doing laundry, cooking, dishes, etc. - with a few exciting aspects such as working as a bodyguard. It was after one particular job that had gotten a little messy and ended in a bar brawl at Amajina and Sons Mineral Concern that the Platinum Mirage expressed interest. From there, she worked as a sellsword until the moon of Dalamund fell; escorting caravans across beastmen tribe infested roads and the threat of the Garleans imminent. | |
| − | : As the Empire gained notable threat, Scarlet was somewhat at a loss about what to do about them. The Grand Companies opened their doors in an effort to combat them, but oddly enough Scarlet didn't join. She didn't attend the Battle of Carteneau, but her whereabouts during that time period aren't known to anyone except herself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== The Continuation ==== | |
| − | | |
| − | : Since the fall of Dalamund, Scarlet has made her permanent homes in Ul'dah and, more recently, in the Sagolii Desert. She had been constantly looking for a stable job, one that was both relatively legal and not boring as all the seven hells. She seems content with a one Desert Moogle Consortium and in the grand scheme of things, she can see herself fitting in nicely. With promises of an airship, a collection of established friends, and adventure on the horizon, Scarlet spends her days going from the Desert Moogle base camp to Ul'dah and back again in preparation for what's to come. One can usually find her in the Steps of Thal or on her way to Southern Thanalan. Rarely is she ever in Limsa Lominsa these days, and even less so Gridania.
| |
| − | : Scarlet hasn't been back to Abalathia's Spine since she left it, and fights with an inner conflict to stay away least something horrible had happened during the fall of Dalamund or brave it and go anyway just to know the truth. With constant company, however, the thought doesn't sit heavy in her heart, rather she's found a new family that is steadily growing. She's activity apart of the Grand Companies now, having seen the wreckage and destruction the Empire caused the first time, and holds an officer's position in the Immortal Flames. She doesn't, however, hold a seething hatred for them like most of Eorzea, but she doesn't entirely like them either; exceptions are ex-Garleans who are approached with caution until proven otherwise friendly.
| |
| − | :For now, Scarlet is living out of the Desert Moogle base camp hidden within the Sagolii Desert. She travels from time to time to other city states, but this is a rare occasion as of late. A plan is brewing, opportunities rising, and Scarlet is willing to take them head first, even if it leads her down a treacherous road.

| − | ==== Habits ====
| |
| − | :Scarlet's biggest habit is probably humming. She'll hum for a multitude of reasons, but if she isn't talking, eating or drinking she's probably humming. Her father used to sing a lot of songs to her as lullabies and around the house, and the songs have stuck with her even away from home. Occasionally she will hum tunelessly if she's forgotten how to say a word in Eorzean, or before she speaks when she's thinking on how to word it correctly. If she's talking quickly or with heavy emotions, in place of humming she'll click her tongue against the roof of her mouth to keep herself from saying something in her native tongue. Her secondly predominant habit is drinking while she's in a good mood. Scarlet will never drink unless she's in a good mood, she doesn't want to make a bad habit of it. Oddly enough, she'll drink spiced tea in place of alcohol if she's in a bad mood. The oddest habit she has is treating friends who are younger than she is as siblings. This stems from Scarlet being an only child and secretly wishing she'd had at least one. Another reason, this one she won't admit to, is that she misses her homeland and family. It isn't obvious unless someone sees the pattern in her behavior towards certain people; she suspects [[Zin Jaeger]] has spotted it after he called her Momma Bear one evening. Another odd, albeit amusing habit is that she likes to adopt chocobos and other small animals. Not taking into account that most of what she adopts will grow up to be bigger than she is and considered dangerous, Scarlet will take up most anything that isn't a Tonberry or Mandragora. She's biding her time to tell [[Misaio Imella]] if she can keep her lot at the Sagolii encampment because she suspects that the Quicksand Inn keepers are starting to suspect something. When Scarlet develops a crush on someone, she tends to be unbelievably clumsy.

| − | ==== Family ====
| |
| − | :'''''Pale Moon''''': Bleimoen - Scarlet's father; a man who has great pride in his work. He is one of three respected leaders of Scarlet's home clan and keeps vigil watch over the mountains. Despite having a difficult time accepting Scarlet's numerous tradition breaking fiascos during her life at Abalathia's Spine, he supported her throughout her life. His name comes from being born at night and that his skin is much paler than most Hellsguard Roegadyn. | |
| − | :'''''Yellow Oak''''': Fhileyha - Scarlet's mother; a woman who is as strict as she is respected. She teaches the young ones in their home clan the art of magic. Her and Scarlet are never on the same page and in some ways, in Scarlet's opinion, is seen as overbearing and controlling. Unlike her husband, she doesn't agree with Scarlet's path in life and it's left a lot unspoken between the two. Her name comes from a home clan tradition; taking a tree's name and a color of the mother's choice. | |
| − | :'''''Old Mountain''''': Ahldberk - Scarlet's uncle; Pale Moon's brother, he is the only one in the family who leaves Abalathia's Spine for cycles to trade with the other city states. He is actually to blame for Scarlet's desire to leave Abalathia's Spine having told her stories of the capitals as a child. Like his brother, he supported Scarlet's decision and even took her with him to Ul'dah on his next journey. His name comes from being first born, therefore being oldest and strongest.
| |
| − | :'''''Moon Breaker''''': Moenbraena - Scarlet's friend; a bit of a looney hermit who lives away from the home clan. He's a storyteller to the children of the home clan. Supposedly, he got his name for breaking a moon with his cries when he was born although no one really believes him. With this thought in mind though, it's believed that he went out to fight with the rest of Eorzea when Dalamud was falling to "break the moon". He is presumed deceased.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Scarlet's family, with the exception of Moon Breaker, are presumed living. She hasn't been back to Abalathia's Spine since she left seven years ago and she's unsure of how it faired after the Calamity.

| − | :[[Orion Aveline]]: ( WIP )
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Friends ==== | |
| − | :[[Abaigeal Causland]]: Scarlet's little desert flower, she's a dancer and bartender at Soliloquy. She absolutely adores her cheery attitude and can't wait to meet her outside the bar.
| |
| − | :[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]]: A co-worker and fellow Roegadyn, his pink shirt caught her eye on the market strip of Ul'dah. She likes his attitude. He's the only one who calls her by her given name.
| |
| − | :[[K'tahrl Tamirr]]: Scarlet met him, and a few others, unintentionally at The Coffer and Coffin. She sees him as a hard worker, if not a risk taker, and a generally proud Miqo'te.
| |
| − | :[[Kari Illderthane]]: After a rather unfortunate mishap with a man, a poster, and a filthy Ul'dah noble, these two quickly became friends as they escaped a job gone wrong. Although Scarlet isn't quick to trust Duskwight, she trusts Kari, despite her smile of a thousand mysteries.
| |
| − | :[[Lainseworth Ravencry]]: On occasion, Scarlet wants to chase this little Lalafell down and shake him until he's dizzy. He's spooked her once and tricked her twice with faux alcohol. Generally, though, Scarlet finds him to be a good man and would trust him at her back during combat.
| |
| − | :[[Misaio Imella]]: This little firecracker was also at the Coffer and Coffin with K'tahrl. Scarlet likes her attitude, but feels the need to keep her from bashing teeth in. She's a great drinking buddy, but not competitor. Scarlet loves her to death and would do most anything for her.
| |
| − | :[[Pripyat Ivanenko]]: Scarlet found this furry tail lost at the Sagolii camp and treated her to something to drink and a bit of company. She's a spunky one and Scarlet really enjoys having her around.
| |
| − | :[[Rio van Rosch]]: Misaio's comrade, Scarlet finds her a little too obedient for her own good, but generally thinks highly of the Miqo'te regardless. She likes her carefree style, even in the most dire of situations.
| |
| − | :[[Ryuki Minami]]: "Bright Eyes", Scarlet mistook him for a pervert and publicly scolded him, before sitting down and talking with him. She considers him a close friend now, a comrade in arms, respectable, but she still likes to playfully punch him in the arm from time to time.
| |
| − | :[[Souyo Xander]]: A strangely close friend to Misaio, Scarlet doesn't know what to think about Souyo. As a friend of Misaio's, she trusts him, but after a confusing fiasco concerning himself, [[Vash Ashford]], and [[Paradyme Capellago]], certain things that were said makes Scarlet wary of his presence. Recently turned into an Elezen, once Miqo'te, concerning magical properties Scarlet doesn't understand. This prompted a rather obscene fight between him, [[Rio Van'rosch]], and herself leading Scarlet to distrust him further. Misaio's trust in him is the only thing keeping Scarlet from putting him on the same level as Paradyme.
| |
| − | :[[Vash Ashford]]: The "Robin to her Batman", she met Vash once at the Crescent Cove Docks and then again at The Hermit's Hovel. They have a great time together and she sees him as a younger brother. They almost got into a fight with [[Vairemont Sarassin]] for stealing their gil pouches. Scarlet has a hard time being angry with him for any length of time, even after he stabbed her unknowingly. She won't hesitate to hurt anyone who threatens Vash, likewise making him a viable weakness.
| |
| − | :[[Zeraia Reynard]]: An enormous flirt, she's teaching Scarlet how to broaden her reading and writing skills. She's a bookstore owner in Limsa Lominsa. Zeraia has taken a liking to using Scarlet's lap as opposed to sitting on a chair. Scarlet tends to get really clumsy and flustered around her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Enemies ====
| |
| − | :[[Paradyme Capellago]]: Scarlet just generally dislikes this man for a multitude of reasons. It started out in pursuit after [[Misaio Imella]] asked for her help to rough up the man who had been outstandingly rude to her, and ever since - rather it coincidence or poor timing - whenever something bad is going on, Paradyme seems to be present. His magick makes Scarlet uneasy. She really doesn't agree with keeping him at the Forgotten Springs dig site, but given that it isn't her call, Scarlet settles for ignoring him when she can and manners thrown to the wind when spoken to.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :[[Vairemont Sarassin]]: After getting off on the wrong foot with one another from the beginning over a dead Wildwood Wood Wailer, things really got heated when he stole Scarlet and [[Vash Ashford]]'s gil pouch at The Hermit's Hovel. After being asked several times about it, he admitted to taking them but only returned the empty pouches. Scarlet and Vash pursued him with the intent on fighting, but another Duskwight Elezen came and calmed the tensions. The gil was returned, but Scarlet doesn't like the feeling she gets from Vairemont. | |

| − | === Abilities ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---- | |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Discipline ====
| |
| − | :Scarlet practices in the ways of the Warrior and Pugilist. She's wholly dedicated to the ancient practice of the Warrior, having first started her training when she lived in Abalathia's Spine, and will continue with it until her training is deemed complete. On the side she studies the art of the pugilist, but due to her lack of aether touch she hasn't continued on as a Monk. It's more a hobby than anything anyway, to keep herself in shape. | |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Fighting Style ====
| |
| − | :'''''Warrior Fighting Style''''': | |
| − | The way of the warrior is Scarlet's passion, and it seeps through in her fighting. For the most part, Scarlet is a wall, an immovable object so that she may protect the one she cares for. It's more defensive than anything, tiring her opponents out before she moves in on the offensive. She is borderline wild when she swings her axe, a woman driven by power although she's careful not to let it consume her. The only red she'll see is that of the blood from her enemies as she wipes it from the blade of her axe.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :'''''Pugilist Fighting Style''''':
| |
| − | In a hand-to-hand combat, Scarlet will most likely use her legs as an offensive tactic rather than her actual hands - which she'll use more for a defensive strategy. What she lacks in speed, she makes up for in strength. She likes to keep her opponents at arm's length, getting in close only for a quick, disarming jab before reeling herself back. Scarlet prefers a crouched fighting position, tucked in and cautious.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Scarlet acts very much like a pacifist when it comes to fighting - not to be confused with a committed pacifist. Scarlet won't fight without reason, and refuses to kill a human being. She believes it isn't her right, or anyone else's, to take a life of another.

| − | ==== About Home Clan ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''Disclaimer!''' The following is based upon the loose lore of Abalathia's Spine and ancestral Hellsguard, plus my imagination, and is subject to change should Square Enix give us more lore for me to gnaw on like a rabid animal that directly conflicts with what I've written. Thanks for understanding!

| − | ==== Rumors ====
| |
| − | *'''What You Might Hear'''
| |
| − | :"I'd say she be a lush, but that Twelve-damned woman outdrank the drunkard in the corner and only tripped once on the way out." - someone who probably lost that bet
| |
| − | :"I've seen her sneak animals into her room in the Quicksand. B-But don't tell the Inn Keeper!" - someone who is observant to Scarlet's not-so-sneaky animal smuggling
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''What You'll Rarely Hear'''
| |
| − | :"I heard those weird Hellsguard who still live on Abalathia's Spine worship a Primal. Say they have the fire of Ifrit in their blood." - someone who is probably both ignorant and paranoid
| |
| − | :"She'll speak bad things about you in her native language." - someone who probably caught her speaking to another Hellsguard
| |
| − | | |
| − | *'''What You Might Say'''
| |
| − | : "I heard her scream in delight when she was trying on a dress it's rather....cute." - [[Kari Illderthane]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Collections ====
| |
| − | *Flyers and posters she finds around the cities. It helps her practice reading, and she also enjoys the fancy parchment.
| |
| − | *Books, despite her inability to read most of them well enough to understand the context. Someone told her mysteries were pretty enjoyable, so her collection consists of mostly those. A select few have pictures in them of bestiary; Scarlet will carry those around with her adventuring on occasion.
| |
| − | *Paper - a lot of paper. Probably too much paper. She uses it to practice the Eorzean alphabet and her handwriting, but lately she's taken to drawing rather than writing. It's easier and frustrates her less.
| |
| − | *Shards and crystals. Her affinity with aether as a whole is little, so she not only keeps them for crafting purposes but just-in-case situations that would require a magick touch.
| |
| − | *A pocket chain for her gil pouch [[Vash Ashford]] gave to her after she made him a new one.
| |
| − | *Small creatures and chocobos; she absolutely adores animals but her continuous habit of adopting strays is beginning to become a problem. So far she's been trying to smuggle them into the Desert Moogle camp, most recently her wolf pup Frydhaerz. His name means "heart of peace" or more directly "peaceful heart" in her native tongue.
