Biography
Pre-Desideratum: Blood Bonds
Scarlett Moffat was born in Portland to parents that originally came to the city during the grunge movement. As the pair got older, they gave up a more turbulent lifestyle, and decided to start a family. However, they were very lackadaisical in their approach as parents, attempting to be friends to their daughter Scarlett rather than parents. Because of this, Scarlett had very little structure. In some ways, this allowed her to express herself. In others, it caused her to lash out and be selfish with little empathy. In school, she became friends with Absinthe Van Gothen, Tobias Nguyen, and Sylvain Eriksson. They all played music in Scarlett’s garage. After graduation, they met a girl named Fawn Everett, and together they formed the band- Absinthe and Arsenic. Though famous in the Portland area, the band was rather obscure. However, the band- Scarlett included- mysteriously disappeared. Ironically, once they vanished, their music suddenly became popular around the world as people wondered what had happened to them.
Desideratum: Blood Bonds
In Desideratum: Blood Bonds, Scarlett is one of the members of Absinthe and Arsenic. Absinthe Van Gothen had encountered Brone Lorcan, a nosferatu in service of Lord Ivor. Abby had become fused with the blood of Vlad Țepeș, creating the Blood Suit. After that night, the band had a target on their heads. Ivor sent the Jiang Shi twins to bring the band back to the Shanghai Tunnels, and they did. With her bandmates captured, Ivor suspected that the fiery monster hunter would come for them. However, the Night Stalkers, Roy McCoy and Jacques Lombar, convinced Absinthe not to go into the trap. Ivor, however, did not count on the Countess Elizabeth Báthory’s treachery. She bit the mortal band members and raised them as her loyal minions, ordering them to either convince Absinthe to become a Nightbred like they had or else to capture her. Absinthe turned the band down and tried to convince them to fight the evil, but her former friends obeyed their new mistress.
However, in the struggle, Tobias Nguyen broke free of the Countess’ power because of his deep love for Abby. This gave the monster hunter the edge that she needed and she slew Fawn Everett, Scarlett Moffat, and Sylvain Eriksson. Afterwards, she thanked Toby and he asked that she slay him too. Absinthe grudgingly obliged and this caused her to grow so angry at the Nightbred that, momentarily, Vlad almost gained control of her, but Brone arrived and managed to stop the corruption. Because of that night, Absinthe wanted revenge against the Nightbred and she forever regretted the way that she had treated her friends. This caused her to become closer to the Night Stalkers and grow into a more mature, kinder person.
