Scarlet’s family are in a long line of gypsy descendants and her family are very fixed on the gypsy  lifestyle. She  loved her large extended family but longed to attend  normal public school rather than being taught irregularly by her parents in their caravan. at the age of 12 her parents gave in to her wish for a normal life so now she and her parents live in a house and she is attending public school although due  to her early childhood she is  massively  judged at her school  because of the towns issues with gypsy in the past. she strives to have a different life from that of her parent and have a stable non hectic family life. now aged 15 she has lived in the town for three years she has become friendly with 14year old hugo because of how close they live to each there

Her mother works at a flower shop in town and her dad is a door to door sales man although her parents work they have little qualifications to be able to earn a well paid job so the family rely on benefits from the government too keep their family on their feet. scarlet also has a part time job washing the dishes for a pub down the road she feels like she should also provide for the  families welfare
