Scharlachrot is the main villainess of Arcana Heart 3. She is one of the young girls trained by the Drexler Institute, much like Weiß. However, Scharlachrot stands against her in an extremely obsessive manner bordering on dependence. After the organization was taken down by Petra, Scharlachrot went missing. However, she reappears in order to oppose Weiß and the rest of the cast. She is the mid boss character of the game. Her Arcana, Baldur (Fang), is also a Geist, which shares its name with Baldur von Schirach. The Drexler Institute based Baldur on Fenrir, the massive wolf from Norse mythology.
History
After the great war, the secret organization Drexler had been trying to create artificial Maidens and Arcanas from behind the scenes. Scharlachrot is one of their creations. She had been trained to stand on her own in the battlefields despite her very young age. Compared to Weiss, her personality is very extreme and dependent. After Drexler was destroyed, she was under Petra's the protection. But she soon disappeared; her whereabouts are currently unknown.
