Born in Atlanta, Georgia, Scarlett was trained in the ancient fighting arts by her father and three older brothers, beginning at the age of nine years. By fifteen, she received her first black belt. Scarlett also graduated summa cum laude and passed her Bar Exams to practice law before moving into the military. Scarlett was one of the original members of the Joe team. On a mission into the Middle East, Snake-Eyes, Scarlett, Rock ‘n Roll and Grunt were sent to save George Strawhacker from Cobra. On the way, a helicopter accident forced the Joes to bail out, but Scarlett was stuck in the burning chopper. Snake-Eyes stayed behind to save her. He saved Scarlett, but a window exploded in his face, scarring him and damaging his vocal cords. The two became very close after that incident. Scarlett is a self-confident and resilient woman. She greets each mission with poise and calmness. Able to take a joke better than most, Scarlett is also quite a caring individual and will do anything she has to in order to protect her friends, family and teammates.
