02Appearance
Scarlet Valentine is a slim woman with long dark hair kept tied into a ponytail with several rings. She wears a dark bodysuit partially quilted on the legs and bearing several crown symbols on the arms. Over that bodysuit, Scarlet wears a short sleeveless dress with a multi-layered heart motif on the chest.↗
03Personality
Scarlet is a strong and ambitious woman. She is not shy, having no trouble talking about her husband even when she is seducing a woman, and often takes the initiative. Scarlet follows her impulses when in a relationship. She is bisexual, as she shows affection towards her husband, but also desires intimate contact with women. One of her fetishes seems to be facesitting. She also prefers to be berated during sex according to her husband.↗↗
Scarlet's personality also has a violent side. As soon as she discovers Lucy Steel trying to infiltrate her husband's bedroom, Scarlet draws a gun without hesitation and tries to kill her, insulting her profusely as she shoots the girl. Moreover, Scarlet seems to become sadistic when pushed, as she declares that she will have Lucy tortured for daring to use her, and also stirs a nail driven in Lucy's leg to make her suffer.↗
04Story

Background
Fifteen years before the Steel Ball Run, Scarlet met Funny Valentine at a house party in her hometown while she was a student. The two danced together, which was when she discovered he could walk without making footsteps and play Mozart on mandolin with his feet. Coupled with this, she fell in love with his sharp, but warm-hearted personality. The two eventually married, and following Valentine's presidential inauguration, she became the First Lady of the United States.↗↗
Despite outward appearances, it seemed their marriage was far from perfect. The couple was never blessed with children, and it appeared that the First Lady was also discreetly interested in women. Nevertheless, she remained by his side and accompanied him throughout his trips from state to state. Although the demands of the Steel Ball Run race divided Valentine's time with her, he and Scarlet would still occasionally drink tea, play music, and unwind together.↗↗↗↗
Scarlet eventually crossed paths with Lucy Steel at a party, though it would be much later before they began a proper conversation.↗
Steel Ball Run
Scarlet finds her husband in Chicago. While walking in a park, Scarlet sees Lucy Steel, recognizing her as the wife of the Steel Ball Run promoter Steven Steel. Lucy is reading "The Sign of Four", the newest installment in the Sherlock Holmes series. Scarlet has just read it and is still enthusiastic about it. Lucy accidentally falls on Scarlet and sneakily pinches her nipples and then licks her neck. Scarlet takes the hint.↗
In the presidential compound, Scarlet has tea with Lucy and explains to Lucy her past with her husband Funny Valentine. However, Scarlet changes subject towards Lucy. Growing bolder, Scarlet asks Lucy to shout her name and sit on her face, but suddenly falls asleep. In truth, Lucy had tricked Scarlet and put a sleeping agent in her tea.↗
Later, Scarlet wakes up and looks for Lucy, only to find her in the Presidential bedroom. Realizing she is an enemy of the State, Scarlet draws a gun and shoots at Lucy, who tackles her into the bathroom. Scarlet manages to pin Lucy as the guard dogs approach and wiggles one of the nails Tubular Bells has created in Lucy's leg to make her suffer.↗
Scarlet is subsequently disguised as Lucy and thrown in the Fox River by Hot Pants in a ploy to allow Lucy to pose as the First Lady.↗↗
