Choose your weapon…
Drawing different versions of Clue characters and giving my opinions/headcanons on them! Here’s my take on Miss Scarlett, as portrayed by the 1949 UK board game.
Firstly, here’s some canon info on this version!
She’s mid-20s, the youngest of the suspects in this version (she’s usually the youngest, so this makes sense, seeing as it’s the first official Cluedo game, unless you count Murder!).
The Cluedo fandom wiki lists her ethnicity as French + Italian, although I’m unsure if this is confirmed!
Her hair in this version is styled into victory rolls, a curling method most popular from 1940 to 1945!
I’ve given her the lead piping as a weapon, which was introduced in this game, and did not exist in Murder!
While her name is spelled “Scarlett” in this game (and its US equivalent), it will change to the spelling “Scarlet” by the next installment.
And, my own headcanons on 1949 UK Scarlett…
She’s a cis woman, and heterosexual. English and German ethnically, American nationality-wise. Her name in my mind is something like Catherine, but she goes by Kitty.
I like to imagine she’s an actress, advocating for the usage of the Transatlantic accent in film and radio. I picture this version of the game taking place in 1939, 10 years prior to release, making it set the same year as the theatre release of The Wizard of Oz. I think this movie is Scarlett’s favourite for its ingenuity and beautiful imagery, despite it not having a lot of popularity as a film in its first year.
I think this game’s Scarlett has a crush on this game’s Mustard. She probably finds height attractive, since she’s a tall woman herself. I imagine 1949 Scarlett dreams of settling down with a strong patriotic “man’s man”, unlike most other Scarlett variants (this idea of mine is mostly fuelled by her victory rolls, I confess). He’s definitely oblivious to her affections, but that’s okay. She’s also attracted to dumb men.
Her signature weapon is the lead piping, because it has no recoil, and no sharp parts to worry about accidental self-injury. She’s very particular about her weaponry, when she’s the killer. She also hates mess, and if she can give someone brain damage or bruising with minimal external bleeding, that is certainly preferable.
If she existed in the modern day, rather than the late 30s / early 40s, her go to song would be “Wildest Dreams” by Taylor Swift (Taylor’s version, of course. Scarlett isn’t an animal).
My first proper fan art of the Clue movie.
treated myself to a few minutes of personal work, and this is how I squandered it
