Scarlett Jane Hallewell
the basics
full name ♦ Scarlett Jane Hallewell nicknames ♦ Lettie, 206 age ♦ nineteen birthday ♦ February 14, 1999 occupation ♦ Tech Support at Duval Tech. She’s also a hacker, but she doesn’t consider that a job since it’s more of a hobby. school ♦ Primrose Academy species ♦ Human ability/power ♦ Technopath how the ability works ♦ Scarlett can create, shape, and manipulate technology, as well as things like robots, computers, hardware, etc. This means that she can control the flow of the machinera, assemble or disengage programming at will, and operate most technology at a distance. However, where her gift truly shines the most is when she’s working on a coding project. It’s very much like she thinks of something and the coding language that she’s working on jumps in line, meaning that a broken code is a rarity for her. This part of hre ability is certainly more developed than the inventing side, though she is working on changing that, because that part does intrigue her as well.
There are a number of limitations to Scarlett’s ability. First of all, the piece of technology that she is looking to operate or manipulate must be within 100 feet of her. She also cannot control purely mechanical objects that have no electronic or metal components. Whenever she uses the ability for too long, she tends to become charged with just a little bit of static electricity, meaning that she has a tendency to shock herself on the next thing that she touches. With her luck, that’s usually a person. The more that she uses her power without taking a break, the emotional part of her brain pretty much shuts off, and she will react and think based solely on logic. It’s lead to more than a few callous, and borderline cruel, moves on her part, but it’s not something that she can really control. gender ♦ Cisgender female | She/her(s) sexuality ♦ Bisexual
the appearance
face claim ♦ Lana Condor height and weight ♦ 5’3” | 103 lbs. identifying features ♦ An accent that nobody can seem to place, because it’s mixed between Vietnamese, Japanese, and British, and even she doesn’t know which accent is going to show up. overall appearance ♦ Though she only stands at about five feet and three inches tall, Scarlett Hallewell is not someone who is easily overlooked. It might be the jet black hair that falls nearly to her waist, or the intense brown eyes that are so dark they look nearly black, but something about her seems to draw people in, and it’s not something she’s complaining about. Another thing that people usually say about her is that she has this innocent look. Maybe it’s the roundness of her face, maybe it’s the fact that she always has a smile stretched over her lips, but a lot of people see her as this little sister figure in their life, and it’s lead to them wanting to protect her. As far as her dressing style goes, she tends to be on the chic side of things. She does prefer a mix of darker clothes and bright, vibrant colors. However, she also tends to lean on the edgier side of the fashion world, mixing cute floral prints with a leather jacket, or shorts with knee-high socks and her trusty combat boots.
the personality
likes ♦ -Hacking and coding -Video games -Rain -Her adoptive family -Old movies-especially horror movies -Accents dislikes ♦ -People making fun of her accent -Math (and people assuming she’s good at it) -Whiny people -Getting mistaken for Bash’s girlfriend instead of his sister -Authority figures -Her code breaking and her not being able to figure out why strengths ♦ -Coding -Charming -Kind -Energetic weaknesses ♦ -Math -Naive -Temperamental -Dislikes massive change dreams ♦ -To hack into a major information database. Not even because she wants information, but because she wants to say that she can. -To develop an OS that actually makes sense, most of the existing ones have pointless addons and she hates it. fears ♦ -Her biggest fear is easily that her family will disown her and she will return to nothing. -Getting caught hacking into something that she shouldn’t be. The last thing she wants is to go to jail. overall personality ♦ Despite the fact that her older and younger brothers are pretty much the definition of posh, entitled little rich boys, most people that come into contact with Lettie seem to really like her. She is charming, and seems to always know what to do or say in moments of stress or upset. There’s this kind of magnetism about her, and something that a lot of people have said about her is that she’s someone they just genuinely want to be around. She’s also very witty and intelligent, something that she’s sure a few people don’t necessarily appreciate because her humor tends to go over their heads, but she tries all the same.
However, Lettie is also somewhat naive, particularly in regard to her brothers. When it comes to them, she has a tendency to think that they can do no wrong, and those who say otherwise are not the kind of people that she wants in her life. This naivety extends to her brothers’ friends as well, and since she is incredibly loyal and trusting, she has no problem abandoning other friends who try to drag her brothers’ names through the mud. Over the years, Lettie has put up with a number of racist comments, and she has gotten to the point where it doesn’t even make her that angry anymore, she’s just resigned to the fact that people suck and every single white person she comes in contact with is going to assume that she’s really good at math, can’t drive, and does martial arts. None of these things are true, but there are times where she’ll play up the stereotypes just to get those people to leave her alone.
the history
father ♦ Arthur Hallewell, 52, CEO of Riverbend Technology mother ♦ Lucille Hallewell, 49, socialite siblings ♦ Sebastian Hallewell , 20, Brother Prentice Hallewell, 17, Brother important people ♦ Le Hue Linh, 68, owner of an orphanage in Vietnam hometown ♦ Hanoi, Vietnam overall history ♦ Ngyuyen Bian Hoa When you were born, you were given the name Nguyen Bian Hoa by your mother, a seventeen-year-old girl who had been thrown out of her home by parents who refused to support a pregnant daughter. She knew that you didn’t have a chance if you stayed with her, so she did the one thing that she thought would help you survive: she gave you up. You were raised in an orphanage, and you took a shine to one staff member in particular, the woman who owned the place. Le Hue Linh. This woman treated you like a daughter, though she never adopted you, and it was her that recognized all the signs of greatness in you. It was her who fostered your intelligence and taught you how to speak English as well as Vietnamese, sometimes switching between the two in the same breath. She wanted for you all the same things that any parents would. She wanted you to be successful, to be happy; so she gave you all the tools that she could to ensure that happened.
You were only six years old when she was contacted by a couple hoping to adopt you, but you were able to spend one more year with the children who had become like siblings, and the workers who had become not quite parents, but relatives all the same. It was a short year, in which you endeavored to learn English better so that you could communicate with your new family. You met them a few times, the parents at least. Your new mother seems nice, your new father… well, you aren’t sure about him yet. There’s something about him that seems off. Stiff, like the pressed and starched collars of his shirts. For the paperwork, your new mother asks you if you want to change your name, and you do. Nguyen Bian Hoa is a name that belonged to a little girl without a family, being raised in an orphanage with no less than thirty other people, and that is not who you are anymore. All three of you discuss it before settling on a name, one that feels right no matter how many times you had to learn how to say it and make the words fit in your mouth the right way.
Scarlett Jane Hallewell You kept staring at the name on the United Kingdom passport, a smile on your face. It felt right, and you’d finally learned how to say it, practicing the accent that didn’t belong to you until it felt as natural as Vietnamese. Well, maybe not as natural. It was what both of your new brothers called you, and from the moment you met them, you were attached and knew that you would love them unconditionally. They were family now, and that was what family did. They weren’t quite as sure about you, though. You were an outsider, and the differences between you two were sso obvious. But you were a Hallewell now, and you were determined to earn the name and make them feel like you belonged there. So you spent more time with them, learning their interests and finding ways to share them. You learned that Sebastian loved football, and since the boys at the orphanage had taught you how to kick, you were happy to play and let him beat you over and over again. History fascinated you, so talking about things like battle strategy and ancient wars with Prentice was something that intrigued you as much as it did him, though you felt like it was a little odd for someone so young to know so much about it. It wasn’t until much later that you realized it was your father’s influence in his life that had him fixated on that particular subject.
Your father was the only person in the family who didn’t really seem to warm up too you. Prentice was his favorite, you knew that immediately, and it was like he saw you as competition for the unconditional love of his son. It was ridiculous, you wanted to shout at him so many times, Prentice could never love you the way that he loves his father. You knew it would do no good, so instead you tried not to cry when he verbally tore into you, making you feel like you were an inch tall at most and wishing for something, anything, to catch his attention so he would turn away from you. Time went on, and he did get distracted, but there were other ways, more subtle ones, that he let the rest of the house know you weren’t exactly living up to expectations.
And then it happened.
In the beginning, it started small: an alarm clock that you could turn off without hitting the snooze button, setting off the doorbell as a distraction to pull the attention of your father away. It wasn’t until just after Bash had shattered the windows of the living room that you figured out what was going on with you. Maybe you had found the right family for you, after all.
The only name on your entrance forms to Primrose Academy was Scarlett Jane Hallewell, and somehow it felt like an erasure of you she were. It isn’t that you’re attached to your name, it felt clunky and common at best, but it was like those seven years didn’t matter at all. Somehow it made you feel a little bitter.
Lettie The first person to call you “Lettie” was a boyfriend, even your brothers had stuck with “Scar” or “S” before that. Unfortunately, it was a nickname that stuck, and though enough people have called you by that name that the sting of it has faded, there is still a part of you that thinks about it whenever it catches you off guard. That particular boy had broken up with you, solely because you wouldn’t sleep with him. You were pretty sure that Bash had punched him in the face after that, but you have also never really asked, because you honestly don’t want to know. What you won’t tell anybody is that you’ve hacked into his social media, just once, after he broke up with you. The amount of messages ranging from filthy to flirtatious that he had sent to other girls throughout the entirety of your relationship had made you want to puke.
Now, even some of your teachers call her Lettie, and it’s become just as much of a part of who you are as your full name, and you’re pretty sure that the day people stop using it is the day that you’ll be confused about your own identity for a while again.
You’ve never really liked the name “Lettie”. It sounds so cutesy, and while you tends to radiate this aura of innocence, you’re far from cutesy, and can be downright snarky when you want to be. Part of the problem is that you have never had someone in your life who’s come up with a nickname that actually catches on, but you hope that someday soon people have a reason to stop calling her Lettie, or god forbid, “Little Lettie”.
206 206 is not a 19 year old Primrose Academy student named Scarlett Hallewell. 206 is nameless, a coder tag that is common for people to come across scrolling through the internet. It’s also a coder tag that a certain group of people are afraid to see, because it means you’ve successfully hacked into their system and are about to royally fuck up everything about it. 206 is someone who lives in the shadows, where all of your fears are cast to the side, and you can push yourself to be better, to realize the full potential that comes with your power and your talent. 206 is someone that you are looking to explore, and you’re trying to figure out how best to do that.
