Personality

Morals don't exist to her. Scarlett stopped believing in those a long time ago and she's not looking to start investing in any of them now. Why should she abide by somebody else's rules other than her own? And who are you to say what's wrong and what's not? She's tired of conforming into the standards of other people, trying to be accepted. Too much effort spent on too many people who actually don't matter to her in the long run. She's focused on herself and what she wants, she doesn't much care about other people, as long as she's happy, everything's fine in her world.

She's the type of girl who will sleep with a girl's boyfriend for the simple fact that she's bored and he just happens to be there. It's not wrong to her if she's not the one who initiates it first -- it's the guy's fault. Scarlett is all about technicalities. She never does anything to hurt anybody out of spite -- she doesn't try to hurt anybody, period. It just happens. She doesn't think of anyone else's feelings before her own, and she doesn't try to be cruel. She isn't intentionally cruel, not without reason.

Scarlett is independent, she relies on herself and isn't afraid to stand up for herself. She doesn't let guys treat her like shit without her given consent, hell no. She's no feminist but she definitely hates to be pushed around for being a female. She'll show you just how strong she is, how strong she can be, and she won't let you forget it. Whether you like it or not, Scarlett is going to make you remember her name.

Love is a subject she doesn't dwell on or believe in. If love existed, everywhere or at all, it would be shown to her and she just doesn't see it, in anyone or anything. She has definitely tried before, she's tried to hold out hope for it and it's all ever turned to shit, and she hates it. She has sex to replace the lack of that feeling, though she isn't conscious of it. She pushes a guy away the second she senses any feelings emanating out of him towards her. She has no time for that and she'd rather lay it out straight that she doesn't want that the second she thinks it's going to happen. Why waste time on feelings if the last thing you're going to feel is hurt?

History

She wasn't always so dark. Not until her mom died.

Scarlett was always close to her mother, they would dance together, sing along to the radio, bake goods with each other in the kitchen. Scarlett looked up to her, wanted to be just like her. Her mother was her role model. Her parents weren't together when she was born. Scarlett's father was supportive, of course, he would visit every so often and watch his daughter whenever Elena needed him to, sent money to them... though Scarlett never was exactly close with the man.

When Elena was diagnosed with breast cancer when Scarlett turned six, the little girl found herself spending more and more time with her father. It wasn't long before Elena had to stay at the hospital, and Scarlett had to move in with Jackson. Everyday she'd make her mother cards, draw her pictures, write letters to tell her how her day went, anything to keep her mother updated with her life, to try and put a smile on her face. She would visit the hospital four times a week, five whenever Jackson had the day off. He was more just caregiver than a father, really. He was there for Scarlett to drive her to school, make her lunches, take her to visit her mother, but he never showed an inch of affection. Scarlett didn't remember seeing him smile once.

It wasn't for another few months before Scarlett's seventh birthday that it became clear that Elena wasn't going to get better any time soon. She had nobody else for her. Even with her father around, there was no one to comfort her, no one to bring her hopes up and make her believe everything was going to be okay... Elena passed away February 11th. A month before Scarlett's birthday.

Jackson did nothing at all to comfort her daughter. Not because he didn't love her, no. He was a man who didn't know affection. He himself grew up, having been taught to try and be tough, not to cry, so he sort of pushed that onto his sensitive, little girl. It hurt Scarlett. She resented him and would at times yell or pick a fight with the man. He wasn't a father, he wasn't even a parent. He was her guardian and therefore owned her, in a technical sort of way. Growing older, Scarlett just grew to be more like him. Cold, unloving... though she'd always be searching for something to fill that emptiness in her heart that formed when her mother passed.

Physical Appearance

The first thing you'll notice about Scarlett are her big, piercing blue eyes. They're the prettiest thing about her face, she believes. Her nose is sharp, her face is narrow, and her lips are downturned. She's a skinny 5'6", and has light, porcelain skin. Beneath her eyes are noticeable dark circles due to the lack of sleep she gets from her insomnia.
