I have a theory that Scarlet could be based on Ne Zha, another chinese diety. The legends describe Ne Zha as a boy who often wears red clothing and has fire based magic powers, also he has the nickname "Hong Hai'er" which literally means Red Child or Red Boy.

As Ne Zha was a chinese diety, he does fit Team SSSN's profile of having its characters based on chinese gods and demigods. There was also a part of the legend where he interacted and fought against Sun Wukong.

Ne Zha famously wielded a pair of magic gold hoops and a red ribbon as weapons. The red cape on Scarlet's shoulder seems to reflect on the ribbon, and perhaps his weapons (when they are finally revealed) will be gold hoops or similar (Chakrams maybe?)

Anyone else support this theory?
