Lyse Hext, the anime. For those, who do not know, she is a character from Final Fantasy XIV, and she is a pugilist. You can see her in Stormblood trailer, she is the girl in red there. The personality is vastly different, though, as far as I can tell.

Aside from that, this is an OP "villainess", that solves things with punches. Those punches are animated in quite satisfying way, but I do not feel much behind them. I mean in the show in general, and not Scarlet's character. Although, she is kind of "I am reserved and mostly emotionless, because I am holding back my anger" kind of character. And she also has a prince, that teases her as if he was Nagatoro's relative or something.

Will give 3rd episode a chance, but overall the transitions in the narrative felt a bit forced so far (almost "just because we said so"), so unlikely to stick with it.

Episode 3:

I don't get it. If the guy wanted the beastkin, why was did he leave with the girl? Why did they need to come back later to "turn him over"? But regardless of that, I feel like they are padding the runtime by trying to move both the slavery plot and relationship between Scarlet and the prince. At least, it feels like focus is switching too often and little progress happens in either. It probably would have been better if they let Scarlet completely loose instead of her holding back and punching once per episode. Make it into a pure-bred comedy. As is  it feels kinda undercooked to me.
