Scarlet

Scarlet, also known as Yue Jiang, is the main protagonist of I'm the Grim Reaper and one of Satan's three reapers. She was affiliated with the Red Spades before becoming a reaper, and seems to have been called Ante Nora when she was alive. She was sentenced to the Ninth Level of Hell, but made a deal with Satan to escape it. Scarlet has to kill one sinner a day in order to save herself from her eternal sentence.

Appearance
Scarlet has apricot skin, unevenly-cut black hair with a red underside and bright red eyes. Although initially her hair was bobbed and short, currently it is knee-length. According to Satan, it looks like it’s been stuck into a wood chipper.

Her torso is dotted with small scars, which may have to do with her occupation while she was alive. One of her most prominent features is a small X shaped scar on the left corner of her lip.

Her outfit is designed by Satan, with the primary colors being red and black. It consists of a white long-sleeve shirt with a large red X (the mark of a sinner) in the middle, although the Sinner’s Mark on her outfit seems to only be part of her shirt. On top of that, she wears a cloak that bears an arrow-like pattern on its sides. Scarlet also wears a red scarf and black combat boots.

As a reaper, Scarlet has two small horns that look like tufts of hair (as Chase notes in Episode 35) and a long black tail, with a spade-shaped tip (most of the time, her tail is hidden underneath her clothes).

Her pupils are usually circular, though at times they become sharp and feline-like. Once she starts to use the powers of a Grim Reaper, she has two pointed horns on her head that grow in size as the demon inside her take control. This can also happen when she is emotionally unstable. Scarlet has a scythe as well, for reaping sinners, although she can make it appear and disappear by will.

When Scarlet’s demon takes over, her head becomes a large, red, shapeless blob, bearing a resemblance to a pair of jaws. Her hands also become big and pointed, like a demon’s. Her tail, which is normally hidden, grows longer and thicker. All of these new attributes are black with red outlines. Scribbly red eyes fleck the demonic features.

However, when Scarlet takes control of her demon, it forms as a black wolf with red outlines. it has nine red scribbly eyes and its mouth appears to tear apart when it opens.

Personality
Scarlet is a secretive individual, except with trusted people. She is sincere, but also gives away her emotions easily. Over the course of her time as a reaper, she has chosen her emotions over logical decisions, contrary to what the former leader of the Red Spades thought. She developed a bleak view of the world and its inhabitants. She is driven by frustration and fear of her sentence in Hell, but also her attachment to Chase, which often gets her into fights. After spending time with him, she has a more vulnerable and warm side.

She has past affiliations with a criminal organization called the Red Spades. As a human, she was "the worst of the worst", sentenced to the 9th circle of Hell. Not much is known, except for several scars everywhere on her body, and the former leader of the Red Spades presenting a human heart to her.

Trivia

 * In a trivia session with the author, GRAVEWEAVER, on Instagram, the following were confirmed:
 * Scarlet feels indifferent about her real name because it is merely the name of someone who used to inhabit her body.
 * Her thoughts on Chase's cat Lightie is that the cat scared her at first. She thinks Lightie is a very caring cat and convenient that the cat doesn't cough up hairballs.
 * She thinks that it's "unreal" how much people sleep each day, and usually messes around with Chase's computer when he's asleep.
 * While Scarlet does have the ability to change her clothing, if transported back to Hell, she'd automatically be dressed in her reaper clothes.
 * Chase is unaware of the scars on Scarlet's body.
 * At the moment, Scarlet seems to like Brook for getting her out of the ninth level, thanking him around 15 times.
 * Her tail does not have the ability to do anything, it just thrashes around.
 * When her demon takes over, she feels as if asleep. She can faintly hear the outside world, but is unable to respond.
 * According to character profiles:
 * Scarlet's age is revealed in Episode 50 when Chase's mother reveals her name and appearance. Scarlet was age 28 at the time of death.
 * Her name is derived from both her reaper color (red) and the scars over her body and face.
 * Unlike sinners who are alive, her x is just a red design on her shirt.
 * Her sleeve patterns are actually a derivation of a Leviathan Cross.
