Etílis Mae Johnson has enemies on both sides of the border.
Known across the West as the Red Fire Doe, the impulsive gunslinger has left behind a trail of blood and made dangerous enemies of the O'Driscolls and the Del Lobos.
With a bounty on her head and nowhere left to run, she flees into the frozen mountains of the North, hoping the cold will bury her name and give her the one thing she has always wanted: a new life, lived alone.
Then she finds her cousin Sadie's ranch in ruins.
Unable to abandon the only family she has left, Etílis is drawn into the path of the Van der Linde gang. She intends to stay only until Sadie is safe, but the gang's loyalty, chaos, and impossible dreams soon begin to feel dangerously like home.
And then there is Arthur Morgan...He is guarded, stubborn, annoying, protective, and far too loyal to a life that is slowly destroying him. She is reckless and sharp-tongued, determined never to need anyone again.
Their reluctant alliance becomes friendship, and friendship ignites into something neither of them can afford, forcing them to question the lives they have chosen and the people to whom they owe their loyalty.
But the O'Driscolls are still hunting Etílis, the Pinkertons are closing in, and the Van der Linde gang is beginning to fracture from within.
Now, she will have to face her past too, if she has any hope of saving the family she never meant to find.
NOTE: This story describes a lot of missions in game, starting at the beginning in Colter and ending after the final mission of Red Dead Redemption 2. It is an adaptation of the game Rockstar created, with my added OC on it. I hope you enjoy my take on RDR2's story, and how my character and Arthur develop throughout.
