History[]
Scarlett was born Myrtle Cramden in Teaneck, New Jersey. Her family moved to Atlanta when she was only three, and by the time she was 16 she had read Gone With The Wind 17 times. When the movie hit the silver screen, Myrtle attended the afternoon matinees everyday for the entire time the movie ran. Myrtle did more than watch the movie, she memorized every line of dialogue and all but lived the movie. She was never a beautiful woman, but Myrtle carried herself with the grace of a Southern Belle, and flirted incessantly. By the ripe old age of 22, she was married to one Brett Rutger and planning to live happily ever after. Instead, she found that marriage, like life, required work. Myrtle soon became disillusioned, growing more and more bitter with her husband, and finally suffered a nervous collapse at the age of 35. For several years, she went to a psychologist every week, popping various happiness pills and pretending that all was well when indeed it most assuredly was not. Finally, when she could not tolerate the thought of living with her husband any longer, Scarlett burned her husband, her house and herself in a fire that raged for over 12 hours. Before burning her husband, she made certain that he could not escape by shoving a knife through his throat.

Scarlett, like the other Scarletts, bears a powerful resemblance to Vivian Leigh. She is slightly older and a touch plumper, but otherwise looks remarkably like Scarlett O'Hara. Her clothes tend to look like tattered castoffs from the Gone With the Wind costume shop.
