The Trial for Kestrel | Wings of Fire

Scarlet was majestic and strong, with dark orange scales and narrow, slitted & lidded bright yellow eyes that were as sharp as talons, often full of flames, and contained a glimmer of menace. Her orange wings were enormous, and their top side had diamonds and rubies embedded around the edges. A row of tiny rubies and diamonds were also embedded between the scales over each of her eyes. She had a serpentine grin.

She was slightly bigger than Clay, but smaller than Kestrel and Dune. She was usually wreathed in white smoke that emitted from her nostrils in a steady stream that would coil thickly around her horns. She also had a purring, lilting, deep, slithering voice and a laugh like a high, strange, hollow cackle. She spoke clearly and coldly, with iron and ice in her voice.

During her reign, she wore a fine coat of golden chain mail, hung with rubies and amber drops, around her torso, as well as a circlet made of gold and diamonds, medallions around her neck, and rings on her claws. Occasionally, she would also wear a diamond-studded vest with small black chain links. She glowed like a poisonous orange.

After being severely injured by Glory's venom and being imprisoned by Burn, all of her earlier ornaments were gone except for the rubies above her left eye. The other side of her shimmering orange face was melted into a hideous dark mess of a scar that misshaped her snout and revealed a glimpse of her jawbone underneath. One eye was pulled down and out of proportion with the rest of her face.

Scarlet became thin and ragged after she escaped Burn's clutches, but began adorning herself with jewelry again once she briefly managed to regain the SkyWing throne. She remained alight with fury, like a cold flame that would never go out. Her entire body radiated fury and vengeance, and she had strong wings capable of powerful strokes that were slow and majestic.
