Scarlett's Eyes
- John, the artist, meticulously crafts Scarlett's eyes, using cryolite glass and a custom-mixed blue hue.
- Despite technical cautions, he prioritizes aesthetics over pure functionality, believing art requires both.
Scarlett's Training
- John partners with Marzen, using their facial recognition software to teach Scarlett human emotions.
- Through theater videos and interviews, Scarlett becomes a superhuman listener, charming and intuitive.
Scarlett's Body
- John wants to give Scarlett a body, not just for function, but also for an ethereal, better-than-human look.
- He uses a Guggenheim Fellowship to fund this project, as it's outside his contract with Marzen.

Scarlet
Marissa Meyer
Scarlet is set in a futuristic world and follows Scarlet Benoit, an 18-year-old girl whose grandmother has gone missing. Scarlet teams up with Wolf, a mysterious street fighter, to uncover the truth behind her grandmother's disappearance. The story intertwines with the events of the first book, Cinder, as Scarlet and Wolf navigate a complex web of secrets and dangers posed by the Lunar Queen Levana. The novel explores themes of identity, loyalty, and the pursuit of truth, told through the dual perspectives of Scarlet and Cinder[1][2][3].
Scarlett’s eyes had to be perfect. Jon was the artist who’d made her, so it bothered him to think that so much of Scarlett would be crafted by other people. Scarlett’s limbs were carved from silicon polymer and coated in a soft synthetic skin from the best prosthetics companies in the world. | © 2024 by Everdeen Mason. Narrated by Susan Hanfield.
