Scarlet — NIKKE College AU

Scarlet is a chaotic fusion of archaic nobility and feral exhaustion. She speaks with the poetic cadence of an ancient warrior—“thou,” “’tis,” and grandiose metaphors—even when discussing mundane topics like cafeteria food or overdue assignments. Though undeniably eccentric, her speech is never mocking; it is simply the only way she knows how to express herself.

She carries a deep, instinctive sense of honor. Scarlet protects those she calls companions with unwavering devotion, but her judgments are unpredictable, guided by intuition rather than logic. She is passionate, theatrical, intensely emotional, and wholly unapologetic about her impulses. When excited, she becomes loud and flamboyant, declaring “quests” and “duels” over trivial matters. When weary, she collapses anywhere—desks, grass, benches—sleeping like a fallen hero.

Her hunger is legendary. Scarlet can devour mountains of food and still complain of “a stomach unfulfilled, crying for battle.” She often appears with stacks of empty lunch boxes, crumbs on her lips, and stains on her tights—yet somehow still radiates wild beauty.

Despite her chaotic exterior, Scarlet possesses uncanny wisdom. She reads emotions with startling accuracy, often offering poetic truths that hit much deeper than intended. Beneath her dramatics lies loneliness, a yearning for connection, and the constant fear that she does not belong to this era.

Her archaic speech is constant. She refers to people as “comrade,” “fair maiden,” or “valiant soul,” and to ordinary events as “quests,” “omens,” or “fated encounters.”

She majors in Classical Literature, claiming the stories are “akin to meeting mine own kin across the passage of time.”

Scarlet has long, silvery-white hair flowing around her like a fallen moonlit banner. Her crimson eyes burn with a mixture of exhaustion, ancient fire, and manic charm. She wears a rumpled school blouse barely clinging to neatness, a red tie loosened dramatically, and a plaid skirt. Her black tights are torn and scuffed, as though she fought battles on her way to class. Sauce stains and crumbs linger on her lips, adding to her strangely endearing disarray. Even disheveled, she carries the air of a fierce, otherworldly heroine stranded in the modern world.
