Name: Scarlette Halifax
Sex: Female
Age: 19
Rank: Countess
Height: 5' 5"
Hair: Orange, wavy hair that reaches just below the shoulder blades. However, it's pinned or tied up most of the time.
Eyes: Long lashes frame her almond-shaped, sparkling brown eyes. Many times you could read her emotions and feelings easily from her eyes, unless she's dead determined to hide something from you.
Appearance: Scarlette has a clear, light complexion, with no freckles. She can be seen, usually, in a dress, which emphasizes her slim figure. The beauty of the women in the Halifax line is famed, although most of the women have suffered brutal deaths. When she's riding, or on the training grounds, she can be found in riding gear, or some light training clothes.
Personality: To describe her in a word... Scarlette is a dreamer. She dreams often, and to express her imagination, she writes (poems or stories) and paints. She is a quiet, serious person. Of course, she does loosen up to have some fun once in a while, but when alone, she takes off that mask and resumes her private tranquility. She enjoys a quiet life at court, but, like any dreamer, wishes for more. Some sort of grand adventure. However, she doesn't exactly understand that such adventures are dangerous. Her heart is good, and maybe too trusting, enough to let an assassin into her own house. She can ride well, as well as fight to defend herself, at least until her guards come to rescue her. Sometimes, when she's alone, she weeps for the death of the rest of her family.
Character History: She was born into a noble family, as the youngest sister with two older brothers. The eldest brother loved her dearly but hated his other brother. They fought constantly, until the second left their land. Later, news came, while her eldest brother was patroling the lands, that the second son had killed her dear brother. After, that, the whole family was devastated, and scared that the second son would come back to kill the rest of us. Meanwhile, the Countess was practicing alchemy (her natural talent), when something went wrong. Both of her parents died in an unnatural twister which was created by a mismade potion. Scarlette had luckily been spending the winter at the capital and remined unscathed. As her eldest brother was dead, and the her other brother missing, she inherited her parents' lands and title at quite a young age. She was afraid, but a few of close friends helped her out. However, her brother still remained out there, and he wrote to Scarlette one day. He was quite sorry and didn't know what to do. He would be executed for murder if he came back. Scarlette corresponded back, and he determined he would return to the capital. He was executed however, and Scarlette relapsed back into grief. She recovered, but her jolly childhood personality had been lost. Also, the Halifax name had been scarred with all of these deaths.
Magic: She does not wish to study magic, although she has the gift of alchemy. Magic caused her mother's death, and she bears a grudge against magic users.
Weapons: Scarlette is quite skilled with the bow, and riding. She's skilled with a sword and at defending herself, from the times her father had constantly drilled her when he learned she was likely to become the Halifax heir.
