Scarlet



Scarlet is an antagonist in Final Fantasy VII. She is the Head of Weapons Development in the Shinra Electric Power Company. She is ruthless and will use any means necessary to fulfill her goals. She has a characteristic laugh ("kya ha ha!"), much like her colleague Heidegger. The two often work together, despite feelings of mutual contempt.

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

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Scarlet is mentioned briefly in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- by one of the scientists in the Materia Room. He claims that Scarlet wanted to close down their department and was humiliated at the next board meeting.

Final Fantasy VII
Years before the start of the game, Scarlet was the one who gave the order for the Shinra soldiers to attack the town of Corel, due to sabotage at the newly built Mako Reactor, which she blamed on the residents. She managed to shoot both Barret and Dyne in their arms, rendering the arms of both men useless.

Scarlet is first seen in the game when the player party storms the Shinra Headquarters in their attempt to save Aeris. Scarlet takes part in the executives' meeting on Sector 7's state and the plans for Neo Midgar. Scarlet is again seen later in Gongaga, where she is seen searching for a Huge Materia in order to build an ultimate weapon.

Scarlet is next seen on-board the Highwind with Rufus Shinra and Heidegger on their way to the Northern Cave. After the Meteor has been summoned, she tries to publicly execute Tifa in a gas chamber at Junon, but this scheme quickly fails when Sapphire Weapon attacks and gives Tifa a chance to escape. Scarlet ends up in a slap fight with Tifa on the Sister Ray before being overwhelmed. Tifa escapes onto the Highwind as Scarlet watches helplessly from the cannon with her soldiers.

After Sephiroth erects a barrier around the North Crater, she makes plans to move the Mako Cannon from Junon to Midgar, hook it up to the Mako Reactors, and unleash its mako-powered energy at the crater to destroy the barrier. She dubs this new cannon the Sister Ray (even if the name was previously seen written on the cannon in Junon). After Diamond Weapon is destroyed and Rufus presumed dead, Scarlet and Heidegger proceed to take over the company and have Reeve Tuesti arrested.

When Cloud and the others return to Midgar to stop Professor Hojo from overloading the Mako Reactors, Scarlet and Heidegger reveal the ultimate in weapons technology; a huge robot called the Proud Clod. Scarlet's plan fails, the Proud Clod is defeated and explodes and finally having finishes Cloud's revenge on Scarlet for what she did to Tifa at Junon. It is unknown if Scarlet and Heidegger died in the blast, but as she is neither seen nor heard from again, it is a likely conclusion.

Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-
Scarlet 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.
