Appearance
Ember Cole is quite a beautiful woman. She looks several years younger than her actual age and is possessed of striking eyes that resemble the color of fire itself providing a not-uncommon saying that The Red Woman's eyes burn when her charm turns to intimidation. Her raven colored hair is also well taken care of and quite lustrous, the tips of hair colored with a touch of orange to make them look almost singed at the ends. She often wears top of the line fashion, normally of a red coloration as befits her more common 'nickname' of sorts. With every outfit though, she always wears a red choker with intricate golden filigree.
Personality
Likes: Money, Obedience, Power, Wine, & Women.
Dislikes: Everything that she doesn't like.
Hobbies: Bladesmithing, Fencing, Sewing, Viticulture, & Vinification.
Goals: Control the criminal underworld.
Ember Cole is a dangerous woman and not just because of the charms that she seems to have in a natural abundance. Enticing and intelligent, Ember has a silver tongue that can help her to worm her way into the minds of people around her. It's easy for her to convince someone that she's of no harm or just a simple tourist when out and about from her home country of England. Eccentric perhaps, but certainly not the criminal she actually is. Wisdom prevails when putting on an outward facade that is designed to fool everyone around her. But when compared to her real personality though, there is quite the vast difference.
Ember's real thoughts and opinions tend to be of an almost sadistic nature. Cruel and intimidating to those around her, The Red Woman has gained a reputation in the criminal underworld for being a notorious and visceral entity. Greedy and almost sociopathic in her lack of empathy for anyone but herself, Ember Cole is a vile woman. Seeing herself as innately superior to any other person or creature, ego is clearly part of her creed. Yet ambition is what drives this criminal woman and she will do anything that it takes to get to the top of the criminal hierarchy, no matter how many bodies have to be left in her wake.
History
Rather than the opulence that she seems to exude, Ember Cole was born into poverty. She was always envious and pissed at those that had more than she did, the do-nothing idiots that stood at the pinnacle of society while the intelligent and hard working were down trodden. In all truth, it could be said that Ember's descent into darkness began in a good place. The desire to do more for herself and even her family. Turning into a thief from a young age and deriving pleasure in her ways, it wasn't until the bright young girl would eventually shine in her academics that the darker side of her personality would begin to draw back. Winning scholarships to a high level school, Ember finally got a true taste for what life meant for the wealthy. And she never wanted to leave it. Even after graduating from high school and winning many prestigious scholarships for excellent colleges, she felt a hunger. Ember Cole desired to be more than just a poor girl that worked hard. Her intellect would turn towards a dangerous path. The path of a criminal. At first it was things like laundering money and thefts. Working with partners before beginning to work entirely on her own. The young girl had grown into a beautiful, yet dangerous woman.
But one job went wrong. A simple burglary was all it was supposed to be. Her partner had cased the home already and Ember herself went in to make sure the deed was done properly as their target had been one of wealth. And then a figure made a sound, one that wasn't her partner. Whirling around with a gun, she shot first and didn't question as the actual wealthy occupant of the home they were robbing lay upon the ground bleeding out. The other robber began to panic, screeching that they needed to grab and go. But Ember was calm. Unnaturally so. She slowly strode over to the injured man and put another bullet in his head that would guarantee death. And she enjoyed the rush. Ember Cole had gained a taste for blood.
Overtime she began to branch out from simple robberies. Her killing of the wealthy mogul had gained notoriety not just from the media and officers, but from the criminal underworld itself. Turning herself into a hitman for hire, The Red Woman would begin to take center stage. A cruel and intimidating woman that was had her irons in many fires and her alias on the lips of many lesser criminals that served as little more than henchmen. But the fire beneath her feet was growing too hot and The Red Woman began to move shop from England to Ireland, to France, to any place that she could sink her hooks into. Businesses both legitimate and not-so-legitimate sprung up in her wake and most have been long abandoned by Ember Cole. A string of false names trailed behind her until she finally decided to take a 'vacation' to a part of the world that she'd yet to actually visit. Where her web had been weaved in the northern hemisphere she had yet to make an impact on the southern hemisphere or make any truly meaningful ties in the Asian territories. Packing a travel suitcase, Ember was on her way to Japan.
Eventually she decided to settle down in a rather backwater industry town called Kanehira, the perfect place to lay low while taking stock of potential future 'investments' in the area. It was discovery of the Inverse though that truly proved worthy of keeping her around. A unique opportunity that provided an open path to very distinct dangers yet very distinct opportunities as well. Even a run-in with a doppelganger of herself proved lucrative after the two had exchanged words. Certainly none would know what the vicious Ember Cole and her duplicate ever spoke to eachother, but the end result was the presence of a "Persona", a supernatural force, that took upon the appearance of Beelzebub, the Lord of The Flies.

Notes
-Ember Cole is involved with several international criminal syndicates, as well as a "legitimate" businesswoman and investor. Her crimes include, but are not limited to robbery, money laundering, murder, arson, smuggling drugs & guns, and a host of other crimes. The only criminal trade that she is not involved with is human trafficking.
-Ember's "legitimate" business is a construction company while she possesses a truly legitimate business in the form of a winery.
-Ember is actually an experienced swordswoman after she had learned fencing in high school and later began to practice it as a hobby, even learning actual medieval longsword combat and some actual japanese sword fighting techniques as well.
-Ember also has training in Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Krav Maga, and even some level of Eskrima as well to add a degree of very personalized danger that doesn't require an "outdated" weapon.
-Ember's natural language is English and she is also capable of speaking and understanding Irish, Scottish, French, Spanish (both the Spaniard and Mexican variants), German, Russian, and just about every other language in Europe and the Americas. As she's contemplating on opening business in the east, she's taken the liberty to also understand and speak Japanese in a more fluent fashion.
