SCARLET DUBOIS ( SCOOBY DOO ) crossed over into the human world as a TWENTY-ONE year old ALEXIS REN lookalike and now works as a PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR with NONE of HER memory. i can tell they are from SCOOBY-DOO due to their LOYAL and kind of COWARDICE ways; i guess that’s why they remind me of FINDING THE BEST BURGER IN TOWN, HORROR MOVIE MARATHONS and LAUGHING WITH BEST FRIENDS. 

Heyyy-ooooo boys and girls,

I am Ellie and this is Scarlet, aka - Scooby

I like long walks to the fridge and being pop punk trash is my brand

ANYWAY, onto Scarlet-

Ever since she could remember, Scarlet was afraid of everything and anything. From butterflies, to going to school for the first time - it was all so stressful and difficult for her to adapt. While everyone has a long list of ex lovers, this girl’s got a long list of phobias that kept her in the safety of her own home.

For as equally as long as Scooby can remember, she loved food. Not any kind of food (yes, any kind of food (I lied)), but bar food. In short: Take her to half apps, and she will love you almost as much as she loves her boneless chicken wings and burgers, K? K.

When she was 7, she was at her grandparents’ house. Her cousin kept her locked out of the play room because at the time, it was ‘boys only.’ Due to this, she was stuck by herself in the hallway until her grandparents’ door slowly creaked open. Her curiosity lead her inside, and when she found the room to be freezing and her grandfather to be asleep in the bed, she was cautious upon getting closer. Shocked, she had to press her ear to his chest in order to be sure, and it only made the hairs all over her body stand on-end when indeed she heard a heartbeat. When Scooby told her mom and grandmother about her experience, they were quick to deny any truth of it. But, she knew what she experienced and no one was going to tell her she was wrong.

Her friends at school started calling her ‘Spoopy’ due to the story and her fascination with the supernatural following the event. It was thanks to one classmate that heard the nickname wrong, that she was coined as Scooby. Though, the nickname stuck and is still used to this day. For some reason, she’s always felt a resonating connection with the nickname Scooby, and prefers to be called Scooby.

Her mother, Margaret Dubois was a stay at home mother who used to be a part of the child study team within the school system. Though, she retired when she couldn’t save a child from their own mind. Scar’s father, Stewart Dubois, is a well-known mystery novelist who she always felt passed down her love for puzzle-solving gene, along with her undying curiosity. The only difference between the two was that he was so brave, and she was so timid - there was always a blockade between them cause of this. It only worsened with her silly ramblings of ghosts that her father was quick to have her suppress.

Scooby was 13 when her mother’s guilt cut her life short, and that’s the true foundation of what drove her to actually reach out and start building a bond with her father. Instead of being able to mourn the death of her mother, her father pushed her to fake-it-’til-you-make-it, telling her in order to become stronger - braver - you must falsify the feeling and then the genuine mood will follow. Her father started to get her involved with his work more, bouncing off ideas and also utilizing her as a mental sparring partner in the sense of strategy games like chess. This is the point in her life where she truly felt a pull towards solving puzzles. 

Scooby started to gravitate more and more towards mysteries and crime solving, thanks to her father. She found herself dropping in on his Law & Order marathons, and became unable to put down a mystery novel once she picked it up. But, the memory of seeing her grandfather’s ghost was always at the back of her head. It engulfed her mind, soon plaguing her dreams. Her curiosity soon got the best of her and she started to hoard cryptozoology books and anything she could regarding the paranormal. She was at crossroads; Her mind pulling her towards the crime-solving route, but her heart yearned for uncovering the unknown. Her father believed she was just majoring in criminal justice, when really she was dual-degreeing and also majoring in cryptic/occult studies.

She was 18 when she found out her parents weren’t really her parents. Just when she thought her fake bravery was becoming real; all the nights out trespassing in abandoned buildings, finally gathering up the courage to say ‘hi’ first to someone in the hallway. All of that came crashing down when, during her biology lab, she found that her blood type did not match either of her parents’. This made Scarlet’s progress nonexistent, causing her nervousness to be so extravagant that she had a problem speaking. 

Deciding to drop out of uni due to her anxiety getting the better of her, she started to see a therapist who helped her a great deal. They pin-pointed her problem to be PTSD that was stemmed from an unknown trauma from her birth parents before she was adopted at the mere age of 2. Everything was suppressed, and she felt that there was a good reason for that - not wanting to find out the details or dwell. “You can choose love, or you can choose fear.” A line her therapist told her on the daily, causing her to authentically start swallowing her pride and living her life. She didn’t want to go around turning the lights off in the world - she wanted to radiate light. 

She isn’t returning to uni for the time being, trying to catch up on a whole 21year’s worth of experience she missed out on. She’s become a paradox in a sense, claiming she’s fearless when she’s not. Loving horror movies, when they petrify her. Traveling, though she doesn’t feel safe until she’s in her own bed. Being a paranormal investigator and hellbent on proving her experience to be authentic, when the mere thought of running into a spirit has her wanting to scream. Crying during romance films, even though she doesn’t believe a word of it. Acts like she has her whole life figured out, but has no clue what she’s going to do the next day. She’s starting to place the pieces together: Courage isn’t the absence of fear, but acting despite those fears. 

Scoobs is basically a light-hearted goof. She loves conspiracy theories, and intelligent conversations at mere hours of the morning. She acts impulsively in order to keep her anxiety at bay. She leaves pieces of herself in everyone she meets and everywhere she goes; though no one is aware of her past because she’s rather mum on the subject. She does have trust issues because of her parents hiding the fact she was adopted, and it’s why she doesn’t really let anyone in. That, and she doesn’t want people to think she’s a liar or is looking for attention. She’s very comical and a great friend to have around if you’re having a bad day. But, don’t be surprised if you don’t hear from her everyday- she’s so touch-and-go. One minute she’s hitting you up to get milkshakes at 12 am, then you don’t hear from her for weeks. She’s emotional, being a Cancer in her own right.

A couple plot ideas I have:

The “You know, being your friend is going to kill me one day,” friendship

A hardcore crush who she can’t even talk to. She becomes a stuttering and stumbling mess and becomes super quiet and red around them. She’s bisexual and biromantic so I mean, hit me with anyone?

An adventure buddy who joins her at diners when it’s like 2 AM. Lit their pastime is just finding the best food in town. They just get one another and joke around - ya feel?

SOME PARANORMAL INVESTIGATING PEEPS. Ghost Busters 3.0, anyone?

Maybe someone who can’t stand Scoobster? Maybe Scooby rubs them the wrong way, or maybe there’s jealousy of some sort? 

Someone that could’ve been very important to her, but she blew it due to her cowardice trait? Like, she never spoke up when she should have, she never put in enough effort, ect.

ANYWAY, I’M DOWN FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. JUST LIKE THIS OR HMU. THE MORE ANGST - THE BETTER TBH, I LOVE THE DRAMMMAAA.
