CHARACTER: CANON SECTION
NAME: Flandre Scarlet
AGE: 495
CANON: Touhou Project
NAME: Flandre Scarlet
AGE: 495
CANON: Touhou Project
CANON HISTORY:The Touhou Project has many 'minor' characters and unfortunately, Flandre is one of them, even as the Extra Boss in The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Only the Main Characters really get back stories and even then, good luck with that. A lot of Flandre's history and personality is based on assumptions in Canon and the little that is truly known about her. She appears in two games, The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil and Shoot the Bullet. She only speaks in EoSD and has been interviewed and written about in 3 written works. Much about her is shrouded in mystery as ZUN has not looked back to the people within the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
The time before Gensokyo is very vague to Flandre and a mystery to canon. Her first five years are darkened to time, though remembered faintly. Her parents were killed and the sisters were taken to the cellar. They were beaten and changed by those who had them. Their captors had bitten off more then they could chew though when the next Bloodmoon came about, powering the two girls with bloody rage and resulting in the massacre of their captors.
Even then, it wasn't the end of trauma and pain for Flandre as at one point she ran into trouble with Vampire hunters. They captured her. While her sister came to save her, it was too late fro her sanity and wings. They had removed them violently and tormented her. It lead to her instability. With that in mind, Flandre stays in the basement, mostly to one room but never the cellar. Neither vampire will even approach that room to this day.
Flandre is known as many things to the land of Gensokyo- Little Sister to Remilia Scarlet, The Scarlet Devil Mansion's 'Dirty Little Secret'. With the second comes a story of her being locked into that basement for about 500 years. In reality, she was convinced to be down there by Remilia and after a while, forgot why she was even down there, but out of respect for her sister, kept her promise to stay there. Rumors float around about her even through the ranks for the fairy maids to humans in the village that a monster lives there and no one ever returns from there.
This first time she had seen another person who was not of the mansion was Marisa Kirisame. In the Extra stage, she returns to the mansion while Remilia is out and finds the household in complete chaos. Flandre had heard of the humans in the mansion who had defeated her sister and wanted to see along with have a bit of fun outside of the basement for a little while. When the two end up running into each other, she is curious and her want to learn more about humans is raised. She asks to play with Marisa and they get into a danmaku duel. Flandre loses this battle but after that, she is curious and wanting to learn about the outside world.
Long after this Aya, a Tengu reporter, heads to the Mansion to find out about a exploding meteorite that was flying over Gensokyo. Much to anyone's surprise, Flandre was willing to talk about it in a incoherent fashion, explaining that she made it explode. It's found out much later, when speaking with Remilia that it was her ability that she used. Also showing a minor squabble between the sisters.
CANON PERSONALITY: Flandre is somewhat a 2 sided coin. What you see in her depends on what kind of mood she is in. There are other things that can factor into these shifts in her personality but usually they are very simple to notice. Being in the basement for nearly 500 years has affected her more then she would like to admit, if she even notices this at times. Things such as normal Social skills and how to react to normal, everyday situations are things she never really learned. Due to this she can be seen as a cute little girl with no social skills or a raving, terrifying lunatic who would rather tear your face off then try and talk to you. Strange Creators of Outer World and Perfect Memento in Strict Sense highlights this in interviews with those who have seen her or hears rumors about her.
One side is as innocent and docile. While in this state, she is curious about just about everything. She will happily talk your ear off, even if it does not quite make sense some of the time. Her attention span is like a 5 year old with ADHD, Unless you have something, or have shown her something that is more interesting then whatever she was about to move onto. This side of her is usually easy to get along with, although if she finds you interesting you might need to pry her off of you at some point. She might also trail off and run off to chase butterflies. To put it mildly, she is a curious and friendly kitten who does not know her own strength. This state is normally where her childish curiosisty about things of the outside world comes in from the end of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
The other side of that is a dangerous, unstable child of destruction. In this state, She will keep attacking and just be a ball of violence until knocked out or exhausted. She can also be reasoned out of this state, but for those she does not know, this is not recommended, nor safe. Another, probably safer way is to simply knock her out. With all the vampire strength she has and the dangerous abilities she can use, she isn't quite as indestructible as she would like you to believe. A few sold hits and she will be out for the count. This can be triggered by not eating for a while, taking about cellars or someone threatening her wings. Her wings are a big deal for her and the thought of something happening to them brings up a lot of past trauma about them.
It is easy to tell where she is mentally just by how she talks. Usually she will just ramble on and trail off mid-sentence when alone or talking with others. There are times she will be calm and speak as if a normal person. There is a brief period of her speaking as clearly as one can before she will fall into a panic attack or even into the insanity. She can't often leave the house because of her emotional instability, as is sad in Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red after the interview with Aya.
The side most people will see is the childish and docile side, as the more insane side only tends to come out when threatened or if she has not fed in a few days. She likes to talk to herself, often using doppelgangers to converse with, even though doing this for too long gives her a headache due to the sensory overload each one gives her. Although this might be one of the few times she might make some sense, due to the other doppelgangers finishing her sentences sometimes. Other then that it's more of the same. This is her lack of social skills and lack of people who will talk to her shining through. Most will avoid her so she has devolved her own way of keeping herself company with something she can not destroy.
Flandre is also easily intimated by female authority figures that remind her of her sister. Commands or orders given in a strict tone, or sounding close to Remilia will get immediate obedience and maybe a bit of cowering. The closer one can get to sounding like Remilia, the more willing she is to obey. This is one of the few ways to bring her out of her moments of insanity but even this may fail at times. She is easily startled with things like this.
SKILLS/ABILITIES: (Some of this is a bit of head canon for her and will be marked with a *)
Destruction- Flandre has the ability to destroy anything and everything that exists. She does this by taking the eye, A stress point that she can see, into her hands and crushing the eye. Nothing is exempt from this power. If it is a person, when she holds the 'eye' in her hand, they might feel a bit of uneasiness or like their heart is being gripped by something nasty*. She does not know of this effect so she would not be using this ability for this effect on anyone*. (I dislike using this power outside of Mod Plots/Necessary points. If this is ever regained, I am more then willing to work out a cost to hinder the use. Also willing to talk about it if need be!)
Vampire- Due to this, She has many abilities as she does weaknesses that negate this. She has immense strength and speed, along with a high regeneration ability. She can also create doppelgangers of herself and fly freely. With all of this comes a cost though, as Sunlight can be deadly to her if out in it too long. Along with that, she can not approach broken holly branches or cross rapidly flowing rivers or is even burnt by roasted soy beans. And thing that bothers her extremely is silver, as it forces her regeneration to slow to a crawl if not completely shut off for a time. She can also turn into a single bat but normally will not use this, as she tends to forget she can do this.
Spell Cards- Flandre is also quite skilled in the non-lethal form of fighting, Danmaku, and has several of the spell cards used within the fights. Although she does not get to fight using this very often. These are her spell card lists. She will use a few of them to keep herself occupied when alone or even with others, depending on how she feels. (4 of a Kind can be manipulated to bring out less of the clones, if she just wants to talk and And Then There Will Be None? can be used to go invisible..although she does leave a blue trail of lights behind her. So She thinks she can not be seen but can be spotted if one is paying attention.)
Flight- Like most of Gensokyo and other vampires, Flandre can fly. Her flight is more magical in nature due to the fact she has 'artificial' wings.

CHARACTER: AU SECTION
AU NAME: Daniellé "Dani" Écarlate
AU AGE: 12
PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES: She's grown to about 4'6" and her eyes are a light blue
AU NAME: Daniellé "Dani" Écarlate
AU AGE: 12
PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES: She's grown to about 4'6" and her eyes are a light blue
AU HISTORY: (Permission was given for the use of Émilie and Nina) Dani was born April 16, 2005 in Paris, France to the Écarlate family as the youngest member. The Écarlate family are the owners of a large and extremely well known game company, ÉcarlateSoft. Since Émilie was to inherit the company, their parents expected Dani to focus on something else to keep her going. They introduced and insisted on Vocal lessons and the hopes of her becoming a well known vocalist was born.
When she started school, Dani was to find out that even though she was well off, it didn't mean others wouldn't target and tease her. For a while, she just tried to escape it the best she could, falling into video games even further then she was as a escape from the real world. At the age of 7 though, there was a incident with one of her bullies when things happened around her sister Nina. With Nina scratching the girl and causing a whole incident, the aftermath of everything made Dani hesitate and hide the bullying from her sisters, afraid that something would happen again. She adored her sisters and would do anything for them, so she took this with no complaint.
After this though, it started to bug her that everything around her was being focused on her, to focus on singing, regardless of her own personal interest. As much as the girl liked to sing, she wasn't one for the spotlight that was being shoved on her. A good example of this was while Competitions and Pageants were being set up for he, she would express that she was tired of it, along with not being given any say in what she was to sing. At 8, she started skipping out on practices and hiding from performances in her own attempt to have some control of the situation.
Of course this didn't change when they moved to Recollé. If anything it made it a bit easier and bring more of her interests to light. With help from the internet and such, she's often out and about, trying to learn more about computers and games on her own. Without the support of her parents though, it is starting to seem difficult, which she still hides.
Anything to keep her out of the house and away from everything tends to be a goal for her, as there is a hidden want to have to learn things from the outside of her controlled space. From Basketball and Softball with kids in the park to random classes and such at the libary or where ever she can be without the knowlage of others.
AU PERSONALITY: One large difference is the fact that unlike Flandre, Dani has been growing up and with her parents along side her. With those important figures in her life, a lot of the choices that are made have guidance and support. With Flandre she had support but even though her sister raised her, they both lost that parental influence early on in life.
Instead of childish and violent, changing at the drop of a hat, Flandre will be more like a normal person without her mental issues. She will be quiet, more willing to let others speak although highly enthusiastic about things she is interested in. She's not a very social girl, except when in voice chats or in gaming situations. School keeps her talking and making friends which is about the limit of her willingness to at first reach out to others. Being bullied keeps her from pulling away from a core group of friends as well, although they are not much more then her sisters and a few closer friends that ignore the bullies. She's shy and nervous but when one gets to know her, she's energetic and ready to go. As time goes on, this will change and her shyness should start melting away..
She's going to be fairly stubborn and rebellious as time goes on, as she is just starting her teenage years, which her previous incarnation never got to experience. She's going to be jealous of her sisters to a extent. They have some sort of freedom that she doesn't have. Although there is some protectiveness about her older sisters when it comes to anything involving her. Dani would rather take the hits, jeers and falls for her sisters. She wants the best for them even thought they want to protect her.
Dani's actually fairly active. She loves to play softball and basketball along with hang out with her friends whenever she can escape from her imposed expectations. These help keep her out of the house and out from trouble for the most part, pulling her away from her more isolated hobbies of video games. This was especially needed when the moved from France to Recolle to keep her from going off and just being angry with her situation. Her friends she made when moving have been a life line to Dani in times of need. Where Flandre has very little interest in anything that's right in front of her, Dani has many interests and things to keep her occupied with time. Also as Flandre's interests usually are childish or with the intent of destroying things, there is more of a actual interest in her friends and other hobbies. Instead of trying to destroy what is provoking her and sending her into a rage, Dani often stops and tries to figure out how to get out of a situation, even if that option is to shrink back and walk away.
