==Appearance and Personality==
==Appearance and Personality==
Red is a woman with a slender athletic build and tanned skin. She has blue eyes and wears her dark grey hair in a high, messy ponytail and some of the fringe framing her face. Her features are angular and she is rarely seen without a scowl on her face. She also wears silver hoop earrings on both ears, as well as a metal choker around her neck with a ring on it. The majority of her outfit is colored red, like her namesake. She wears a red leather tube top with straps around her left shoulder, red sleeves held up by metal armbands around her biceps, red bikini bottoms, red leather boots that reach over her knees, and metal bands around her thighs. Around her waist, she wears a fur wrap that covers most of her lower body and a leather belt that holds her dagger in a scabbard. Her top and boots have various straps and buckles on them, however in some illustrations, the straps on her top are missing. In the 3DS version, Red's outfit is less revealing as she wears a pair of red short shorts instead of bikini bottoms--this is in accordance with changes made to the Japanese software ratings board CERO. As a playable character, she gains access to various costumes that can change her appearance.

Red is a domineering, take-charge woman who enjoys her life of crime and treasure hunting. She is a classic example of a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsundere tsundere] character, being a woman who maintains a harsh exterior towards most but shows a softer side for the people closest to her. This is most apparent in her relationship with Yangus: she will openly insult the former bandit in one breath and then demand that he take better care of himself the moment after. Red also warms up to the rest of the party in the 3DS version, and acts akin to an older sister to the group. She is also surprisingly level-headed in [[Party chat]], and will complain the least about any detours or sidequests the player may go on. Being a thief, Red will occasionally make shady remarks that most would take issue with, such as stating that certain well-off NPCs are ripe for pick-pocketing.

Red's largest issue is her inability to handle disappointment, which drove a wedge between her and Yangus for several years when he failed to retrieve a valuable jewel for her. She is also shown to be short-tempered at times, loudly berating her chief henchman for sitting her her rocking chair while she is adventuring.

Red buys [[Princess Medea]] and the [[Wagon]] from Dodgy Dave in [[Pickham]], only returning them to the party in exchange for a jewel, the [[Venus' Tear]], found in the [[Swordsman's Labyrinth]]. When the party gets the jewel, but before going back to Red's [[Red's House|place]], Yangus reveals that he tried to get that jewel earlier in hopes of impressing Red, but gave up due to the difficulty and this put a significant strain on their relationship.

When visited during the search for the [[Moonshadow harp]], Red mentions being unfamiliar with it, and suggests disappointment that Yangus only came to seek help.

Later on, when the party must find the treasure of [[Captain Crow]], they meet her with the same intentions.  They find their way through the [[Pirate's Cove]] and Red find herself face to face with Captain Crow, only to be knocked unconscious. The {{Hero 8}}'s party defeated Crow and won the Illuminated Sea-chart, which Red had no apparent interest in. She then left to return to her home southwest of [[Pickham]], but not before pocketing 10,000 pieces of gold she found in the cove. Before the party takes on [[Rhapthorne]], they can visit her to obtain the [[Flail of fury]]--loaned to Yangus on the condition that he return it to her after Rhapthorne has been slain. Everyone but Yangus picks up on the true meaning of the gesture, and when Angelo states the obvious Yangus and Red visibly blush.

Red's involvement in the story is the same as in the PS2 version up until the after Captain Crow's defeat.  She expresses disappointment with merely find a map, but then decides to join the party figuring that she'd find some real treasure along the way. The 10,000 gold she found is not added to the party's funds, going to her personal savings instead.

Whenever the party enters her home, Red takes the time to relax in her chair and is unable to be put into the lead while there. And while the dialogue is different to reflect her expanded role in the game, she still gives Yangus the Flail of fury after the [[Black Citadel]] rises.

====Stats====
====Stats====
Red is the fastest character in the game, and her innate resistance to [[Deceleratle]] means she almost always goes first in battle and the player should adjust their strategy around this consistency. Red is also resistant to [[:category:Army skills|army skills]], but this is less useful than her resistance to Deceleratle due to only a handful of monsters using those skills.

"You jumped up little... Who gave you permission to sit in my chair, eh? Eh? COS IT WEREN'T BLEEDIN' ME!"

Red (ゲルダ, Geruda) is a Thief who was an old mate of Yangus' in Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. An NPC in the original PlayStation 2 version, Red gets upgraded into a playable character in the Nintendo 3DS remake of VIII.

In combat, Red puts her skills in thievery to good use, stealing both gold and treasure from unsuspecting enemies, and can wield Knives, Whips, and Fans as weapons.

Appearance and Personality

Red is a woman with a slender athletic build and tanned skin. She has blue eyes and wears her dark grey hair in a high, messy ponytail and some of the fringe framing her face. Her features are angular and she is rarely seen without a scowl on her face. She also wears silver hoop earrings on both ears, as well as a metal choker around her neck with a ring on it. The majority of her outfit is colored red, like her namesake. She wears a red leather tube top with straps around her left shoulder, red sleeves held up by metal armbands around her biceps, red bikini bottoms, red leather boots that reach over her knees, and metal bands around her thighs. Around her waist, she wears a fur wrap that covers most of her lower body and a leather belt that holds her dagger in a scabbard. Her top and boots have various straps and buckles on them, however in some illustrations, the straps on her top are missing. In the 3DS version, Red's outfit is less revealing as she wears a pair of red short shorts instead of bikini bottoms--this is in accordance with changes made to the Japanese software ratings board CERO. As a playable character, she gains access to various costumes that can change her appearance.

Red is a domineering, take-charge woman who enjoys her life of crime and treasure hunting. She is a classic example of a tsundere character, being a woman who maintains a harsh exterior towards most but shows a softer side for the people closest to her. This is most apparent in her relationship with Yangus: she will openly insult the former bandit in one breath and then demand that he take better care of himself the moment after. Red also warms up to the rest of the party in the 3DS version, and acts akin to an older sister to the group. She is also surprisingly level-headed in Party Chat, and will complain the least about any detours or sidequests the player may go on. Being a thief, Red will occasionally make shady remarks that most would take issue with, such as stating that certain well-off NPCs are ripe for pick-pocketing.

Red's largest issue is her inability to handle disappointment, which drove a wedge between her and Yangus for several years when he failed to retrieve a valuable jewel for her. She is also shown to be short-tempered at times, loudly berating her chief henchman for sitting her her rocking chair while she is adventuring.

Appearances

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (PlayStation 2 version)

Red buys Princess Medea and the Wagon from Dodgy Dave in Pickham, only returning them to the party in exchange for a jewel, the Venus' Tear, found in the Swordsman's Labyrinth. When the party gets the jewel, but before going back to Red's place, Yangus reveals that he tried to get that jewel earlier in hopes of impressing Red, but gave up due to the difficulty and this put a significant strain on their relationship.

When visited during the search for the Moonshadow harp, Red mentions being unfamiliar with it, and suggests disappointment that Yangus only came to seek help.

Later on, when the party must find the treasure of Captain Crow, they meet her with the same intentions. They find their way through the Pirate's Cove and Red find herself face to face with Captain Crow, only to be knocked unconscious. The Hero's party defeated Crow and won the Illuminated Sea-chart, which Red had no apparent interest in. She then left to return to her home southwest of Pickham, but not before pocketing 10,000 pieces of gold she found in the Cove. Before the party takes on Rhapthorne, they can visit her to obtain the Flail of fury--loaned to Yangus on the condition that he return it to her after Rhapthorne has been slain. Everyone but Yangus picks up on the true meaning of the gesture, and when Angelo states the obvious Yangus and Red visibly blush.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (Nintendo 3DS version)

Red's involvement in the story is the same as in the PS2 version up until the after Captain Crow's defeat. She expresses disappointment with merely find a map, but then decides to join the party figuring that she'd find some real treasure along the way. The 10,000 gold she found is not added to the party's funds, going to her personal savings instead.

Whenever the party enters her home, Red takes the time to relax in her chair and is unable to be put into the lead while there. And while the dialogue is different to reflect her expanded role in the game, she still gives Yangus the Flail of fury after the Black Citadel rises.

Though her presence has minimal changes to the story elements from the original, several moments play out differently in her presence:

  • She (along with Morrie) avoids capture by Marcello after the fall of Sir Leopold, and help able to locate the party at Purgatory Island.
  • It is Red rather than Jessica who discourages Yangus from following The Hero after his departure from Savella Cathedral during the ending cinematic.
  • She joins Yangus during the first part of the ending segment to greet the Hero in Castle Trodain, with her commenting that Yangus wouldn't stop talking about the "Guv". Red also tells the Hero not to keep Medea waiting as women hate that.

Stats

Red is the fastest character in the game, and her innate resistance to Deceleratle means she almost always goes first in battle and the player should adjust their strategy around this consistency. Red is also resistant to army skills, but this is less useful than her resistance to Deceleratle due to only a handful of monsters using those skills.

Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon

This Japan-only game takes place 20 years prior to the story of Dragon Quest VIII and explores Red's relationship with Yangus during their youth.

Dragon Quest Rivals

Red was introduced in the fifth card pack as a rare playable card, eventually becoming an alternate leader character in the second card pack after the game was changed to Dragon Quest Rivals Ace, representing the Thief Vocation alongside Erik.

Trivia

  • Red is the oldest female playable character in the series, barring characters whose ages are never given or outright stated.
  • Red possessed no concept art during the development of VIII, leading Level-5's staff to use Aishe as a basis. This is why Red wears such a similar outfit to the Roamer.
