Scarlet

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Scarlet (スカーレット, Sukāretto) is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy VII. She is the Head of Weapons Development in the Shinra Corporation. She is ruthless and will use any means necessary to fulfill her evil goals. She also has a characteristic laugh ("kya ha ha!"), much like her colleague Heidegger. The two often work together, despite high feelings of mutual contempt.

[edit] Storyline

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

[edit] Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-

Scarlet appears in Before Crisis, working under President Shinra as a Shinra Executive. She is the one ordered to capture Verdot after the Turks refuse to take in their commander, and is then ordered to assassinate all of the Turks. She leads the army against them, but fails in her mission.

[edit] Final Fantasy VII

Years before the start of the game, Scarlet was the one who gave the order for the Shinra soldiers to attack Corel, due to some sabotage at the newly built Mako Reactor which they received the blame for. She managed to shoot both Barret and Dyne in their arms, rendering the arms of both men useless.

When WEAPON begins to activate, she makes a plan to move the Mako Cannon from Junon to Midgar, hook it up to the Mako Reactors, and unleash its mako-powered energy at the Northern Crater where Sephiroth resides. She dubbed this new cannon the Sister Ray. Although, this name was previously seen written on the cannon at Junon.

She tries to execute Tifa in a gas chamber at Junon, but this scheme quickly fails. She ends up in a slap fight with Tifa, before she escapes.

When Cloud and the others return to Midgar to stop them, she and Heidegger both reveal the ultimate in weapons technology; a huge robot called the Proud Clod. However, her plan fails, the Proud Clod is defeated, and explodes. It is still unknown if they died in the blast, but as she is neither seen nor heard from again, it is a likely conclusion.

[edit] Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-

She is mentioned briefly in Dirge of Cerberus, with her old files being Reeve's primary source of information on Deepground. She was one of only three Shinra executives to know of the secretive Deepground project, and presumably outfitted them with the high-tech weaponry they use.
