Shadows whole deal is a bit mysterious. When they first showed up, no color at all was on them; he was simply shades of grey. He didn’t even have a name at that point. He wandered, lost and confused as to how he got there, until he spotted a Folly tree. Liking the color of the leaves, he plucked a few for inspiration later. He eventually joined Oceana, as he believed in Diansu’s plan for an innovation revolution. There he started to experiment dying his clothes, hair, anything on him to make himself colorful. He even used dyes from the folly leaves to dye his tie, jacket, and even his horns and tail.

His eyes didn’t change color until he used his enchanted bow for the first time. There he felt a surge of adrenaline run through him, and thus his thirst for blood was born. He’s not too confrontational, surprisingly enough, only fighting when asked or cornered. But his aim is impeccable, even if his combat isn’t.

His bow has Flame and Power 2 enchanted on it, and he plans to get better arrows for battle. He of course needs to have some of Diansu’s brilliant machinery on him, so they have the Cheirosiphen. The blue flames looked sick when Diansu was demonstrating the weapon. And in case of close combat, a scimitar that they made from hand. They wanted to build a sickle, but confused the two for some reason. Shadow loves eating apples and pumpkin pies, mainly for the taste.

So, Scarlett is the personification of grief on the server. She was always there, just never really had a body until Lux's death, of which she wound up mixing with the funeral ink (fitting) and forming that way. One of the first people she saw was RAT, and so she wound up following them to the cabin area, possibly due to how much he was grieving. [I'd imagine she'd have a slight pull to those who are mourning, considering she's the embodiment of grieving on the server.]

She never really left that area, making a spot in the woods nearby for herself, and considering how much she can blend in, wasnt really spotted aside from some moments, of which, considering her resembling an Inkling, sometimes led to being a reminder as to what happened.

She honestly doesnt really know that though.

Anyway little facts + headcanons:

Scarlett's outfit is based off of Lolita fashion and victorian mourning outfits (at least kind of)

When her eyes are open, theyre constantly leaking tears, of which at least resemble folly paint- however i dont know if it actually is.. thats up for interpretation.

Her ears are supposed to resemble a rat's, as i thought that was what the inkblot's had, but someone commented on the fact that they looked like cat ears and honestly thats adorable im keeping it

Her favorite color is red!

Her favorite food is probably anything red velvet based (cookies, cake, ect)

She's very prone to wandering off.

I dont think she'd speak often, if at all, overall she's very silent.

She really likes bows, but knows that it'd look cluttered if she wore a lot of them, but she does leave them around!

Aside from her, yknow, literally being the collective grief on the server, she's actually pretty friendly!

She doesnt have too much of a drive for violence, she will just smack people around if she finds it funny, however! All in good fun, she doesnt really mean to hurt anyone

Intentionally or not, however, she does often wind up emotionally hurting people. She's still grief itself, and sometimes that leaks onto others.

I'd imagine that if she got actually upset, it could work like blue diamond's ability, inflicting sorrow onto everyone in the area, but im not sure- i MAY be making this up as i go a bit
