The character is a young girl with magical healing capabilities who travels with a company of mercenaries called the Scarlet Briars. They got their name specifically from her, as her name is Scarlett. She's got other oddities, like a red gemstone that is the body of God (think the body and blood of Christ in Eucharist) imbedded in her skin and, on account of that, dark red hair. Her name being Scarlett is unique, I think, but it beats you over the head with the red theming, which itself is important to the narrative overall as it relates to the alchemical reddening and the Philosopher's Stone, as well as Jung's process of individuation.
To keep the theming, I was thinking of naming her Rose. To move away from the theming and to make her less of an OC donut, I was wanting to call her Catherine. Both of these names are better than Scarlett, but I can't decide. I'm leaning more towards Catherine however.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Rose is delicate and hints towards her nervous tendencies, whereas, to me, Catherine is a rather intelligent and studious name, which fits her as well. It's also somewhat inspired by the 15th century writer Christine de Pizan, who I misremembered as being named Catherine.
