As a young child, she was known for shunning dolls or other toys in favor of books. Scarlet never had any interest in fiction, but the family had quite a collection of books about history. By the age of ten, she had abandoned laymen's texts altogether, and was reading historical reference books and archaeological dig reports.

To make up the failed history grade, Scarlet was given a remedial summer assignment, a challenging history paper she was to complete and hand in the following year. Scarlet chose for her topic the Slayer Dragons, and went well beyond the scope of the assignment, digging very deep into reference materials and making insights that were impressive for a seasoned researcher.

Hobbies and Interests

Scarlet is an extremely voracious reader of historical texts. She has no interest in novels or fiction of any kind, but is heavily obsessed with history.

Up until the age of 12, Scarlet played soccer and swam on teams run by the local recreation center near her house. Her team was somewhat infamous for never having won a single game, and Scarlet herself was never particularly adept at the rules. She quite the swim team and stopped swimming all together sometime in 6th grade and did not sign up to continue playing on the soccer team in 7th.

Scarlet was a regular attendee to the "Dragoon Lancer Fantasy Day Camp" run by the Gudersnipe Foundation, which hosted sessions every summer starting when she was 8. She is a military fangirl and liked to dress up in fatigues and memorize military trivia. While she did gain several opportunities to fire weapons at camp, her favorite activity was knife-throwing, which she practices avidly all year round.

Scarlet is also a collector of action figures, the one toy she ever showed any interest in. Specifically, Slayer Dragon action figures, of which there are thousands.

Starting at sixteen, Scarlet took up target shooting and trick shooting with a Pendragon Special auto-revolver. At seventeen, she accidentally joined her school's concert band and began to play the clarinet, later switching to flute after graduation.

Quest for the Sword

At the age of 13, while on a school field trip, Scarlet stumbled into the tomb of Eieber, wherein she was hit with the realization that the sword carried by Conri Jason Jusenkyou at the beginning of the Age of the New Day was not the original sword of the Pendragon.

Personal Equipment

As Pendragon, Scarlet felt the need to be exceptionally well-armed. In addition to Echbalder, she is known to carry: an enchanted collapsing quarterstaff, returning throwing knives, several larger knives, a short sword, a .44 calibre revolver, a machine pistol, and if there was even the remotest possibility of combat, a couple of hand grenades. All these are stored in 'pockets' of bent space, which follow her everywhere.
