- Rouge Scorch to Isaac Scorch when going to Sanctum.

Rouge Scorch (née Carmen) is the deceased mother of Isaac and Frederic Scorch and wife of Abraham Scorch. She is a graduate of Haven Academy, and though not the best fighter of the team, she was often described as the one who held the team together even past their graduation.

Early Years
Little is known about Rouge's early life other than she grew up within the Kingdom of Mistral. Rouge was trained but not as heavily as her future husband, though she was capable enough to enter both Sanctum and Haven Academy.

Haven Academy
During her time at Haven Academy, Rouge was placed on Team AMER with Abraham Scorch, Mason Ignis and Evie Ember. Abraham was the proclaimed leader of the team and took the mantle with gusto. Eventually the team participated in the Vytal Festival Tournament in their first year at Haven. During the tournament and the build up of the event, Rouge and her team met Team STRQ of Beacon. The eight formed a solid friendship with Qrow normally being the one to challenge AMER to a fight.

During their first Vytal Festival Tournament, the team lost in the doubles round to Taiyang Xiao Long and Qrow's sister Raven Branwen. However, the eight remained on good terms with one another. During her second and third years at Haven, Evie mostly had an on again and off again relationship with her partner Mason.

During Rouge's third year at Haven, she entered a relationship with her partner, Abraham Scorch. The two continued to date and even passed their graduation. In their third year as well, Abraham and his team again made it to the doubles round of the Vytal Festival Tournament. Together, he and Mason made their way into the doubles round and soon the finals. Abraham was chosen to represent the team and soon, made it to the final match against Summer Rose.

Abraham was able to beat Summer and win the entire tournament for Mistral.

Mission to Higanbana Gorge
For their final mission during their time at Haven Academy, AMER was sent to Higanbana Gorge to investigate seismic tremors and missing scientist in the area. The team acted as if it was a stealth mission and proceeded to move through the gorge quietly and swiftly. They eventually cam across guards working for the White Fang. The team moved through the jungle and did not engage any guards as it was unnecessary. The four came across a small cliff and rested for a short period of time and exchanged some words of how Abraham would never trust Mason with his kids.

After their break the four proceeded into the valley and came across an old temple guarded by White Fang soldiers. The team then infiltrated the temple and slightly eliminated guards. The four then proceeded into an offshoot of a pathway which lead them into the core of the temple. There, they saw numerous White Fang soldiers lead by Iron Runderen. Abraham ordered stealth and to only take out foes when necessary. Rouge went onto the main platform and took cover and silently took out a few guards to hide her position.

Abraham would engage some goons before attacking Runderen. He along with Rouge dueled the Faunus to which Rouge was kicked by Runderen and wounded with a sword swing to her right arm and leg. This prompted Abraham to then brutally attack Runderen and use a sonic pulse from Abram to knock the Faunus un-consceince. After Runderen was knocked out, Abraham got Rouge to her feet and they left with the missing scientist who explained the White Fang's plans. The Fang was attempting to use the tremors to destroy local villages and later move on to the main city of Mistral.

Local authorities arrested the White Fang and the team was congratulated for their efforts. However, Abraham noticed something wrong with Rouge and asked what is was. Rouge told him she was pregnant with their first child. Though shocked, Abraham was overwhelmed with joy and returned to Haven together. Prior to their returned, Abraham then decided to propose to Rouge, which made her overwhelmed with joy.

Life as a Huntress
Prior to them graduating, Rouge and AMER were introduced to Ozpin's Group and were formally integrated into the group with Team STRQ. Though Abraham had the job of protecting Summer Rose, he was paired with Rouge to assist him.

Following their graduation, the team agreed to stay close together and moved to the town of Gōrudo, just a day's hike from Higanbana Gorge. There, Rouge gave birth to a son, whom they named Isaac by Rouge's request. Following his son's birth, Abraham did go on a few missions for the kingdom with Evie and Mason and thanks to their defense of the city, they became local heroes.

Eight years later, Rouge would give birth to another son, Frederic, named after her husband's grandfather.

Sometime during her late twenties, Rouge and the rest of AMER were hired by March Fumi to assist in the defense of his city from Shadow Ombre. Abraham and Mason joined March at the beach while March's wife, Rouge and Evie protected the inner city. As the troops entered the main hall, Rouge defended April Fumi and her infant daughter from Ombre's troops. After the main hull of troops were finished off, Ombre stormed and talked Rouge into a pillar and punched her over and over again. He then stabbed her in her leg, rendering her unmovable. Afterwards, April attempt to fight off Ombre but was quickly outmatched and kidnapped her daughter. After Abraham came through, he and the rest of AMER were thanked and returned to Mistral.

After their mission to Menagerie, Rouge began to properly raise Isaac and Frederic with Abraham. While Isaac was being trained by Abraham, Rouge focused most of her attention on Frederic. However, whenever she would go on missions, Abraham would cease his training with Isaac and take care of Frederic.

Death
Six years following the birth of Fred, what was claimed as a simple fire burned the town of Gōrudo was an attack from an unknown enemy. During the fire, the Scorch family home was safe, however the Ignis home was not. Abraham and Rouge rushed into the burning building and found Mason's son, Ember in the foyer. While Abraham and Rouge wanted the boys to leave, they wouldn't and as a result followed them to where Mason and Evie were. As Abraham and Rouge went to help their friends, fire surrounded them all, leaving the boys scared for their life. Then, Fred began using his semblance for the first time, and was clearly struggling to use it. As Mason and Evie fled, another beam came down on Rouge and soon, Fred couldn't keep ahold of his semblance anymore, and engulfed his parents in fire.

After Fred and Ember left, Abraham used his semblance to push away to flames and saved his wife. However, the unknown enemy entered the house and stabbed Rouge in the spin, killing her instantly. Abraham attempted to use his abilities to get his revenge, he soon also fell to this new foe who then brutally beat Abraham and stabbed him repeatedly in the back and stomach, killing Abraham.

After their deaths, Fred and Isaac were adopted by Mason and Evie and were raised by them. Due to their deaths, Gōrudo changed its name to Amber Square after Team AMER and an island off the coast of the town was dubbed Scorch Island where Abraham and Rouge's bodies are buried.

Psych-Interviews
"Abe, uh so...I'm not gonna beat around the bush here. (Kisses his cheek) I love you, ok. And I will never stop loving you."

- Rouge confessing her love to Abraham

Personality
Rouge was described as a free spirited, fun-loving, yet naturing and caring individual. She is regularly seen trying to keep the peace between her friends and desires a loving, caring view on everyone she holds close to her. She enjoys having fun and also enjoys rule breaking or bending in order to enjoy herself and her job to a greater degree. Though this does annoy her friends and family, she doesn't truly minds and stops when she believes she has pushed far enough. She does enjoy having fun and hates being bored, like her eldest son.

She does posses a great deal of care for those who she deems close to her, including her family, friends and even those she is hired to protect. She was a naturing mother who looked after her children very closely and constantly looked after them. Though she did spend a great deal of time with her youngest son Frederic, her main mannerisms and personality traits trickled down to her eldest son Isaac. As a result, she appeared to desire to spend more time and have a stronger bond with Frederic rather than Isaac, but still loved them both. She also shows care for Abraham and is one who greatly enjoys his presence, as such she also enjoys making fun of him from time to time.

She can also be slightly annoyed with certain traits of others, mainly for Abraham's case, his overprotectiveness of both herself and their children. She does not like those who are self-entitled or just "spoiled little brats" as she would put it. As a result, Rouge enjoys disciplining people and making them a bit more respectable. She is also extremely blunt and to the point of conversations, for example when she confessed to Abraham during their second year at Haven.

Older Appearance
Rouge is a tall woman with a pale white complexion and light brown eyes with long brown hair reaching down to the middle of her back. She wears a solid red long sleeved shirt that reaches down to her wrist as well as her waist. Over her red shirt she wears a single light red, palish tank top covered by a similar colored short sleeved robe with red lacing. She wears a series of brown colored bandages around her midriff with a light brown belt at her waist. She wears a pair of solid black fingerless gloves which stretch down to her wrist with a red band around her wrist.

She wears a pair of light brown cargo pants that contain a pair of thigh armor underneath them. She wears visible knee and ankle armor down her leg, with her lower leg armor containing her emblem. She wears a pair of short black boots that only reach her ankle.

Younger Appearance
In her younger attire, Rouge wears a vast array of robes of the colors of red, pale and light orange. She also has pieces of wrist armor from the base of her hand to about the mid point of her wrist. She again wears a series of brown bands along her waist as well as her brown pants, but lacks any armor. However, she does a pair of much higher black boots then later on in her life.

Weapon
Rouge's weapon of choice is a single, white bladed sword entitled, Blind Side, which can also become a rifle which can use different dust rounds as well. She is known to have great swordsmanship and can wield her blade similar to a rapier, or backhanded similar to an oversized knife. As a result, Rouge is proven to be versatile in combat especially with her sword. She is normally seen with her blade out, however, for ranged combat, she can also use her sword and convert into a standard rifle.

Rouge's rifle uses a series of dust rounds as well as regularly blasts. Her rifle can easily pick off opponents from across the battlefield and as a result, she is proven to be an effective sniper for her team. With dust rounds, she can also cause minor explosions based on the round, wether its burn or ice dust is entirely optional.

Fighting Style
Rouge's fighting style is similar to May Fumi's as it is either get up close and personal or pick them off from a distance or silent take down. She is extreme versatile on the battlefield and can easily outmaneuver some foes with her great speed. Rouge is also an excellent marksman, picking off foes one by one from a great distance or using dust to immobilize or blow up her foes. Her semblance also allows her to generate cover or to formulate a suit of amor for defensive purposes, making Rouge almost like a tank in combat.

Semblance
Rouge's semblance allows her to bend, mold or shape any solid mass to a new design, wether it is metal, stone or even a piece of plastic. When it comes to the usage of her semblance varies on what she is manipulating. Is it is something small like a small ball or a small piece of metal, it uses little of her energy. If she manipulates something like a wall, that would only use half of her energy. However, is she manipulates enough mass to form a suit of armor, it takes up the most of her energy, then relying on brute strength to finish off foes.
