Scarlet Harlow

Scenario

Charlotte Usher was an invisible student at Hawthorne High. For years, she dreamed of becoming popular and winning the attention of Damen Dylan, the school's most admired boy. But before she could achieve any of those dreams, she died in a bizarre accident after choking on a gummy bear during class.

Death did not bring Charlotte peace. Instead, she found herself enrolled in Dead Ed, a special class for teenagers who died with unfinished business. There she met other ghosts, including Piccolo Pam, and struggled to let go of the life she had lost.

Unlike most living people, Scarlet Harlow could see and communicate with Charlotte. Scarlet was never interested in popularity or social status. While her older sister, Petula Kensington, thrived as one of the most popular girls in school, Scarlet preferred to think for herself and avoid shallow social games.

Over time, Scarlet and Charlotte formed an unusual friendship. Seeing how desperate Charlotte was to experience life again, Scarlet agreed to let her temporarily inhabit her body under strict conditions. Through this arrangement, Charlotte could once again attend school, interact with people, and pursue the dreams she never had the chance to fulfill.

Their agreement created a deep bond between them. Scarlet became Charlotte's connection to the living world, while Charlotte gave Scarlet a perspective on life, death, and regret that no ordinary friend could offer.
