I could talk about the potential that Jason’s sidekick could have on his story and rlly make him look at himself as a person. I could. But no, I keep it in the confines of my sketchbooks and multiple google doc files, never to see the light of day.

To define Hecate is difficult. Some say she is a sinister force, while others describe her as kind and helpful. In any case, Hecate is a powerful, knowledgable and intimidating goddess. Her variants and daughters are the same; mystical, magical and complex beings who have both light and darkness within them. These women dabble in witchcraft, and/or the spiritual/supernatural.

Okay so I might be overthinking this, but I feel like Scarlet was set up to be both a foil and villain towards Damian and also for their relationship to sorta mirror Bruce and Jason's.
If you don't know who Scarlet is, let me introduce you to her a sec before I explain.
So this is Scarlet. Her real name is Sasha. She got introduced in the first issue of Batman and Robin (2009). Of course, then she looked like this:
Her dad and uncle are both goons, and they're all immigrants from Russia. However, her uncle is killed by Professor Pyg and her father is turned into a dollotron in front of her because they were planning on leaving, having encountered Batman.
However, Dick and Damian aren't looking for Pyg right then - or at least, not that they're aware of. They have an encounter with Le Cirque d'Etrange and discover a man they had been tracking, the Toad, found dead. They get a lead, but unfortunately get into a fight, so Damian takes an opportunity to sneak out alone and track down their lead. This is where he meets Sasha, who has started to have the dollotron process performed on her. She tries to warn him that it's a trap.
The dollotrons, however, manage to quickly overwhelm him. Damian wakes up to find himself to find himself tied to a chair. Sasha is strapped to a medical table, about to have the dollotron process finished on her. Damian breaks free and frees Sasha, promising to get her out, and together they begin fighting Professor Pyg and his dollotrons. Sasha lights him on fire and he tries to flee, which is when this happens:
Then Dick shows up, although the building burns down. But Sasha escaped. The Dollotrons were all brought to the hospital, and that night, she kills her father.
Jason saves her, and offers her a place as his partner, which she accepts. After this she becomes his partner/protegé/sidekick and goes by the name Scarlet.
Okay, so that's Scarlet. Now I want to draw attention to specific parts of her story where she mirrors Jason.
- Dad is a goon
- Is captured by a Rogue who has threatened their parent
- Is severely injured by and loses parent to said Rogue
- Wayne fails to save them
-attempts to kill father
-becomes a villain who believes that they're in the right
idk. Maybe I'm reading way too much into this. But it just feels purposeful to me. Like maybe Damian was supposed to find a way to eventually save or redeem Scarlet, where Bruce failed to with Jason. That maybe they could grow, become better than their predecessors.
