87. The ride home
Today was a short day, and Scarlet felt utter relief as the carriage swayed gently during its journey home. The morning had been filled with a few meetings, and while stressful, they had ultimately been successful. She had secured key business deals and opened a new line of business. All in all, it was a very productive day.
Scarlet had gone to great lengths to diversify her endeavors, avoiding the mistake of putting all her efforts into one area. This was the key to maintaining control. With her businesses so spread out, it would be difficult for her paternal family to wrest control from her. The extensive reach of her resources also allowed her to monitor any probing attempts from her family at her defenses. Though she was fairly certain she had them where she wanted, having even more leverage would help when the time came to take them down.
She watched as the scenery changed, her carriage entering 'Little Village'—a section of brownstone homes she had bought and refurbished. Scarlet had transformed this once dilapidated and dangerous area into a thriving shopping and residential space. A part of her felt proud of what she had accomplished here. The location was perfect, nestled between the aero port, train station, and docks. It had become a vibrant hub, close to everything.
The bottom floors of all the brownstones had been converted into a diverse array of shops, offering various goods and services. The second floors served as storage for the shops below, offices for clerical businesses, or as apartments. Having everything so close made the area convenient and bustling. She had ensured the neighborhood was well-guarded, deterring most thieves, and had included both public and private courtyards where people could gather—spaces for different groups to meet and enjoy themselves. If she’d had more experience back then, she might have acquired even more real estate, but for now, she was content with what she controlled.
Scarlet shifted slightly, making sure she was far enough from the carriage window to avoid being seen. She traveled in a plain carriage, preferring not to draw attention to herself on the way home. As the ride continued, she listened to the comforting sounds of the carriage wheels turning and watched the people going about their day. After a while, the sound of children’s laughter reached her ears, and as they rounded a bend, her home came into view.
She spotted her imps playing with the local children—they seemed to be playing cricket. Delighted laughter filled the air, and she felt the fatigue in her shoulders begin to melt away. She was home. She was with her imps, able to watch the neighborhood kids play. It was what she had always wanted for herself—a free, pleasant childhood without the burdens of the world—but if she couldn’t have it, she was happy to see others enjoying it. A soft sigh escaped her lips, and she murmured, "I'm glad someone else can experience this peace."

06:44 pm - 16.02.2023It's a Lion not a 'Cat'
I took a job from a Mr. Johannes Schwartz . He is trying to breed spider cats into pets... Which seems like a bad idea. Spiders, well certain spiders, are OK because if you leave them in a box and give them food they'll stay put. Cats like sitting in boxe...

I went to Rosebrier Hall to attend a fancy ball. The students got into a fist fight! This was even better than watching the crows gang up on those bastardous blue jays! Muse didn't look happy but they had a lot of friends that gave support. I went to go f...

06:55 am - 10.02.2023The list of amazing people following the adventures of Leticia Scarlet-Bloesembhel.
Social
Birthplace
Vesten
Current Residence
Eisen
Contacts & Relations
Not all of Scarlet's paternal family inherited the distinctive markings. Scarlet's grandfather married twice, his first batch of kids which included her father, had the 7 dots or stars between their ribs. All of the children from his first wife have perished, the only two that inherited the markings were Scarlet and her brother. The second marriage/round of children, her paternal uncles (her father's half-brothers) did not inherit any distinctive markings, or titles.
Honorary & Occupational Titles
Technically she's a Lady, but due to circumstances Scarlet has not let others know about her ties or even that she's a noble.
Due to her name not matching her fur type it usually means one of a few things: She's an orphan (born in winter-spring) and was found in the Fall, she's a bastard and was officially 'claimed' in the Fall (due to her fur being of the winter-spring variety), or in her specific case, she died and was reincarnated - but her new body didn't fully match the old.
Wealth & Financial state
Technically she hasn't shown any wealth and does have a day job.
OOC: She technically has access to wealth but absolutely all of it is being used/directed to assist her family. She lives off of peanuts/what extra income her day job provides that she hasn't sent back home.
Family Ties
Scarlet has 2 'Great Aunts', one of which was 'adopted' by their family; the one known as her Mentor: Sniffles (real name Thyme Padfoot)
Her Great Aunt Áskatla Hweit-Plóma, was the head of the family around 100-120 years ago. She never married but decided to step down and passed guardianship to Scarlet's grandmother, her great-great grand-niece. No one has seen her in the last 20 years. She was a Land Druid.
Scarlet's oldest Aunt Brana Verdant-Brómber (moon druid). Did marry her lover (Arne Padfoot) but never had children so passed on ruling to her younger sister, Scarlet's deceased mother Alfhilda Scarlet-fullt-tungl (Land druid).
Scarlet's youngest Aunt Kaðlín Wintruz-Currant was given access to Scarlet and her brothers inherence when Scarlet's father realized what his family had planned. Kaðlín managed to move ownership of Scarlet's money to Sniffles, who was successful in keeping it safe & managed the funds, but she was not fast enough for her nephew Jón Verdant-Kryddjurtir account.
*Additional note, Arne Padfoot is not related to her mentor Sniffles. He was a mole-kin, medium size, compared to the rest of the lot ^ which are all small sized.
Religious Views
Acts peaceful but if pressed will herald Rhodena wrath. She does actively but privately visit almost all the temples (except Tanith & Morwen). She's also smart enough to not invoke, piss off, flirt with, gain the attention of, or dismiss Tanith & Morwen.
Additional note (for anyone that would stalk her, I don't know why you would, she's boring): When visiting the Nicodemus she doesn't stay and will leave after her business finishes. With the rest of the gods (barring the two she doesn't wish to gain the attention of) she may loiter.
Social Aptitude
I mean... she knows how to act in 'polite society', which is why she avoids it most of the time. She will work with the nobility/her peerage due to necessity. Scarlet can most commonly be found rubbing elbows with the rabble since that's where the fun and money is to be made.
Mannerisms
She eats... almost all the time. You can find her snacking or her pockets are full of snacks.
When no one is looking she usually turns into an animal an 'hoofs it' around town. Scarlet burns a lot of calories when she moves about.
When under great stress/concentration she forgoes eating and may be prone to starve herself. If she's every underground/surrounded by stone walls (similar to the prison she was held in) Scarlet has a tendency to not eat and if she's traumatized or triggered may not eat for several days unless reminded/forced.
Hobbies & Pets
Speech
She doesn't have an 'accent' due to her traveling around a lot. But due to her traveling also has an accent?
(Think FL accent, it's not quite Southern but if you lived in the major cities the words you use could be from anywhere (northern, midwestern, pacific coast) due to it being a melting pot)
