Biography
Scarlett Lowe was the second child of John and Alex Lowe, and their only daughter. She was the younger sister of Holden Lowe. Alex once reminisced about how she never quite felt the same connection with Scarlett as she did with Holden. Around the year 2010, Scarlett and Holden were playing at the beach. A video was taken of them, which Alex would look at years later. In 2015, five years after Holden disappeared, Scarlett had a surprising reunion with him. She befriended a boy named Lachlan Drake at the Hotel Cortez, who brought Scarlett down to an empty swimming pool, which contained several glass coffins. Holden was inside one of the coffins, appearing no older than he did when he was abducted. Scarlett followed Holden to a playroom where she tried to encourage him to return home, but Holden told her that he was home. Scarlett tried to take a selfie of Holden and she, but her brother's image appeared blurry in the photograph. She told her parents that she had seen Holden, but they didn't believe her. At a family council session, Scarlett again spoke about seeing Holden at the hotel, but Alex thought she was saying this merely to hurt her. Scarlett was later removed from John's custody when he fired his gun around her in an attempt to kill Bartholomew, the infant son of Countess Elizabeth that sneaked into his luggage. Once Alex, Holden and John left the Hotel in order to rekindle their lives as a normal family, Scarlett was puzzled with how they would explain Holden's appearance as he was the older sibling yet still resembled a baby. She also wondered how Alex and Holden would eat since they were vampires. Scarlett later learned that John Lowe was a serial murderer dubbed The Ten Commandments Killer. After satisfying his pathological need to take victims who violated the Biblical commandments, John was shot and killed and became a ghost - forever trapped in the Hotel Cortez. Only once per year, on Devil's Night, could he materialize before the living.

Each year, Scarlett would visit the Hotel Cortez for a family reunion with John, Alex, and Holden. She continued this practice as late as 2022.
