Scarlette was the owner of the Henrietta Street House. She wore a totemic piece of glass on a cord around her neck. In 1782, she used her Mayakai training to help the Eighth Doctor coordinate a defence against a new danger from outside the conscious universe. She married the Doctor in a ceremony designed to symbolically bind the Doctor to Earth and allow him to participate in its defence; however, over their time together, the two actually fell in love, the ceremony developing a deeper meaning for both parties.
