Red is a thief and a pirate who was an old mate of Yangus' in Dragon Quest VIII. An NPC in the original PS2 version, Red as since been made into a playable character in the 2015 3DS remake of VIII.

Story

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, Yangus reveals that he tried to get that jewel earlier in hopes of impressing Red, but gave up due to the difficulty. Later on, when the party must find the treasure of Captain Crow, they meet her with the same intentions. The find their ways through the Pirate's Cove an 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, before the party takes on Rhapthorne, they can visit her to obtain the Flail of fury on the condition that he return it to her after he's defeated Rhapthorne. Everyone but Yangus picks up on the true meaning of the gesture, and when Angelo says it out loud, Yangus and Red visibly blush.

Red is also featured in the Japan-only game Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon.
