Name: Scarlet Rose Songtree aka Scarlet
Age: 19 years
Gender: Female
Species: Red Squirrel
Marital Status: Single
Position and Home: Lives at Redwall, position is that of a warrior.
Strengths: Skill with her daggers, speed, cunning
Weaknesses: Impatience, extremely hot-tempered, overly competitive
Alignment: Good
Appearance: Scarlet is a fair creature; with her finely sculpted features and large green eyes. She is prideful of her beautiful, long, and luxurious golden-scarlet coat; The texture of which is uncommonly soft and thick, the result of constant and meticulous maintinence, it flows over her body in silken waves. Her pelt posses a healthy sheen and is streaked with gold when certain rays of sunlight caress her body. She owns a magnificent bush tail, which she brushes daily to keep that downy texture; it often elegantly half-curls around her slender waist, and she is often seen stroking it when she is deep in thought.
Her voice is soft, sweet, and high-pitched; melodious with a sing-song quality. Her breath smells faintly of mint and strawberries, an unusual but sweet combination, the aroma more prominent if she had just eaten the tasty little snack.
The squirrelmaids figure is small and agile, though tall; her waist is slender, but she is not underwieght, she is very light. Her limbs hold the strength of a skilled tree climber; Her upper-body contains much strength, and her shoulders hold muscle and power, enabling her to swing a blade with strength.
Set evenly into the squirrelmaids features are two huge orbs of green, sparkling like twin emeralds; Her eyes hold the unmistakable sign of a creature that has killed, but they are alight with a strange kindness, distant with a hint of sorrow flashing deep within her irises.
Scarlet, though a fierce warrior, is given into luxuries, as are most females. Outside of wandering and fighting, her attire reflects her feminine side. While living with her mother at Redwall, she was taught sewing, spinning and weaving and has natural skill, while to become the warrior she is today she worked herself to the bone, having no natural warrior's skill. She gathered scraps of left over cotton and berries, hoarding them for months. Finally she had enough to make her 'vacation' attire. She spun the cotton and dyed half of it red and left the other half white.
She spent the next few days in her room measuring, sewing, making adjustments. When she finished she donned a white blouse, with bell shaped sleeves. Over this she wore a simple red vest with no pockets. She also wore her old good pair of brown trousers, that was held up with a thin black belt buckled with a bronze rectangle buckle she had etched with roses. A pair of long/throwing daggers, the bronze hilts bound with black cloth for grip, adorns her belt.
Around her neck she wears a simple heart shaped locket made of polished bronze. On cold nights, Scarlet often wears a black cape, knee length, with a hood, fastened with a thin red ribbon. Over her shoulder is strapped a bow made of yew, with a well waxed string, and a quiver of arrows, each one straight and fletched with white feathers from gulls. As for jewelry, Scarlet wears not but a pair of earrings; The earrings are a pair of small red stones.
Personality: Scarlet has a more tom-boyish, playful temperment; In battle her personality is quite the opposite. When in battle she is a fierce opponent, her sword swinging mercilessly at the enemy, her eyes filled with green fire, hate boiling up inside her heart for the same kind of vermin that killed Bali and Ganh.
She loves to help out when on retreat at Redwall, and is often found helping out in the garden. Scarlet is a fun creature to be around, but she is stubborn as a mule. She will stand up for other creatures, and has gotten into trouble in the past because of this.
She laughs a lot, and smiles even more. Her smiles are bright and fun, and her laugh is sweet and sparkling, with a unique little ring to it. Though shes not perfect, she understands her flaws and tries to control and fix them.
Sympathy is one thing that Scarlet has never lacked. Any sad story, or moment there is, Scarlet is always there to sympathize. She knows that everyone is not perfect, and tries not to hold grudges.
Sweet as Scarlet can be, she is prone to anger as is everybeast is and will often get angry and let her temper slide out of her control.
Scarlet, though her sweet demeanor states otherwise, is very loud and outspoken, a colorful sort with a wide vocabulary. Many times she is complained of being to loud, and Scarlet just says " I was born like that." and she was.
Scarlet is not the sensitive type, and is hardly ever found crying, even in the toughest situatiations. Scarlet is deeply afraid of being betrayed by others, or she herself betraying someone - this thought is as unbearable as being erased, and these two fears are nestled deep within Scarlet, who keeps herself from revealing them.
History: Scarlet was born far up in the North and her parents, Selina and Ganh raised her in a large village of squirrels. Scarlet had an older brother, Bali, who was her closest friend and companion. When Scarlet was born, her older brother was only eight years old, and was thrilled at the thought of having a baby sister.
He took care of her when her parents couldn't, helped feed her and helped Selina to teach her words and how to write. As they grew older he soon helped to teach her how to defend herself, forage for food, build a fire and cook. Bali was always there for her and Scarlet loved him as dearly as any sister would love an older brother.
In the worst situations he would come and bail her out, and saved her life uncounted times. Her parents were there for her too, though. They gave her what nothing in the world could replace; love.
They loved her, and though they were tempted many times, never spoiled her. Scarlet is forever grateful for them. By the time she was five, Scarlet would often go fishing with Ganh and Bali, and remembers scrambling down from thier treehouse, her mother calling after her to be careful and stay away from the pools in which the pike lived and to make sure to rub some lemon oil in her fur to keep the bugs away.
Scarlet was little more than 5 years old when catastrophe struck the village. It was a quiet afternoon when the squirrels on watch sounded the alarm. It sent the entire village scrambling, and Scarlet was scared, oh so scared. The terrible fox Gazada was coming to destroy thier village, and Ganh and Bali were fitted out in warriors clothing and sent to battle along with the other husbands, sons, uncles and brothers of the village.
The mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, and daughters were sent to the secret cave behind a huge waterfall far away from the village. Scarlet remembers running as fast as her young legs could carry her, a bundle on her back filled with food, precious items and other provisions they hurriedly packed back at the house, and Selina running ahead, her paw in Scarlet's, tugging her along faster.
They were jostled around a bit in the frantic crowd of females all heading to the secret hideout. The battle lasted days, and while Scarlet and Selina prayed that Ganh and Bali would come home safe, it was not to be so.
Little more than 4 score of thier warriors returned, declaring they had won the battle and sent the remants of Gazada's army and Gazada fleeing for thier lives. Bali and Ganh were not among them. Scarlet and Selina wept over this loss for weeks, when they decided to move from the village and live at Redwall.
They packed thier belongings and supplies, trekking south with a group of travelers and warriors from the village and surrounding communities who also wanted to seek out Redwall. The way was long and wearisome, full of aching bones, sore paws and the weight of thier belongings seeming to crush them all the way.
When they arrived at Redwall, they were a ragged lot, hungry and tired. Scarlet lived at redwall for ten happy years with her Mother, training under the Skipper and Logalog to become a warrior. Up to last year, Scarlet had been living with her Mother, but she decided to leave her home and wander, learning what she could and defeating small bands of vermin, helping to cleanse the earth of evil.
