History DarthWiki / ScarletFleece

* TheSlacker: Sal starts out as an otherwise unemployed drug dealer who mooches off of her sister and brother in law. After her misadventure at the hands of Alpha's organization, she decides to find a legitimate occupation and live independently as a PrivateDetective.

* NewParentNomenclatureProblem: In a downplayed variation, Ryan Dunham-Wolfe calls his mother, Jess Dunham-Wolfe, "Mom"; and calls his stepmother, Bess Wolfe, "Mum".

* TheSpook: In a heroic variation, Rodney "Sparkplug" Lopez, García's trans, impoverished {{sculptor|s}} friend, is noted to be very secretive about his past, to the point that nobody even knows his deadname. In a deconstruction, Sparkplug's concealment of his entire past hinders any chance of identification of the motive behind his disappearance, with speculation ranging between Sparkplug being targeted as part of a [[TransTribulations transphobic hate crime]] to [[DisposableVagrant any of countless other reasons why the disenfranchised are usually targeted by criminals]].

* CowboyCop: Sgt. Angel Jiménez is not above performing morally flexible, if technically legal actions in the pursuit of justice. For example, he makes Scarlet choose between letting him arrest a butcher shop employee who accidentally let her into the shop in addition to herself, or testifying against whoever framed her in order to get charges against her dropped.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Scarlet's ex, Seth, fetishizes female sexual predators and considers male survivors "lucky" or "snowflakes". In contrast, Scarlet herself--a human rights and welfare activist--absolutely [[DefiedTrope refuses to abide]] by the notion that male targets of abuse don't exist, stating that "while women and girls in particular frequently find themselves on the receiving end, anyone can be sexually abused or harassed".

** In a more straight example, when Olena Vovchak is confronted by MDPD personnel including Detective Matthew Farkas-García, she refers to Scarlet Davarashvili-Caballero--who had survived being sexually abused by Olena herself in addition to Olena's prostitution racket--as an "especially disappointing conquest".

** In a reversal, Brick makes a quip at the expense of [=McTyre=] over Scarlet shooting the latter in the groin, or "show[ing] [[=McTyre=]] what a real man isn't" in retaliation for [=McTyre=] selling her into prostitution. Scarlet herself previously called her shot "a disappearing act" in an IronicEcho of what [=McTyre=] said when he sold her into prostitution.

* TheChanteuse: Brooke Waters is a coffeehouse singer who performs at the Bohemia Café. She notably performs a rendition of "House of the Rising Sun", foreshadowing Scarlet's captivity at the derelict Deauville Resort.
