Crimson Rhooba, the Crimson Drewman

Be Ruthless

Rank: A- (Major Character)

Character Bases

The Lady in Red

Crimson is cunning, cold, and above all, ambitious. She doesn’t suffer fools lightly. Her goals happen to overlap with the ICT crew, so yeah. She signed up. That doesn’t mean she has to like any of the schmucks working there.

Crimson is very conscious of the way she acts. Every gesture and expression exudes power and confidence. On the rare chance someone happens to catch her in a good mood, she’ll play it off. To everyone, Crimson is elegant and sophisticated.

Except her compulsive need to do the “noblewoman’s laugh” gesture. Nobody can explain that.

Fun Facts

Crimson is one of several characters to change names and colors in development. In her case, she started off as Hazel.

Crimson, building off of the above, was originally conceived as a more straightforward “queen bee” as a foil to the significantly more affable Skye. Eventually “Hazel” was scrapped entirely due to being superfluous. Skye’s meanness was significantly downplayed later in development to emphasize her “cool girl” aspects more, necessitating Crimson’s return and redesign. Ironically, Crimson is not only slated to debut before Skye, but she inherited Skye’s distinct laugh. No concept art exists of Hazel, and her name was recycled for an unrelated character. 

Crimson’s surname is derived from “rhubarb”.

Crimson’s name and color code was used for the prototype designs of Sage, Mallow, and Fuchsia. Unlike the latter two, Sage’s hairdo was overhauled as her old one was used for Fuchsia. Mallow stands out since she kept her current color before briefly taking up the Crimson’s. Crimson herself notably lacks the goth/punk/biker aesthetic Sage/Mal/Fuchsia had.

Crimson is the only S1 character to wear earrings or heels.

Crimson was partially designed as a foil to Violet, both being tall, purplish, named after their colors, ponytailed with hair spikes in front, and fond of power suits. Fittingly, the two are set up as rivals, another thing she inherited from Skye.

Crimson’s entire ordeal in ICT will be basically a reverse villain arc.

Crimson literally does that hand gesture EVERY time she laughs.

Character Bases

Development

Crimson was the final creation of the main cast. She was originally a scrapped minor character serving as a meaner alternative to Eloise (then named Skye), but Ellie evolving from “Queen Bee” to “just sorta aloof” necessitated her return and overhaul. Her presence in conjunction with Aziz, Scarlett, Tyler, etc., combined with Ingrid and Martin being far less virtuous in ICT also helps round out the gang as less goody-goody. Of course, becoming a lead meant Crimson had to become nicer…and far more theatrical.

Here’s for the girls since due to Tumblr’s photo limits: Cool musician Fuchsia, tennis jock Julienne, rebellious schemer Olive, country girl Georgia, gremlin child Marina, meek wallflower Crimson, spoilt princess Vera, mysterious goofball Bobbie, emotionless bookworm Zuri, and no-nonsense fitness nut Buffy!
