[Personality]

Rose is not your typical 13 year old girl, in fact she is something akin to a child prodigy judging by her talent as a violinist, psychoanalytical skills and her extremely vast vocabulary. She is obviously the most mature party member, or at the very least, would like to think she is. She is usually stoic, stern and rather sarcastic with a nice touch of dry wit. Her penchant for sarcasm leaves people questioning her and her motives constantly, never entirely sure if she should be taken seriously or if she is being serious herself. Rose is also a very private person and this may have something to do with it. She tends to hide parts of herself and her hobbies, even from her close friends.

Because of the odd relationship she shares with her mother Rose tends to wage psychological warfare with both the mentioned parental figure and even her friends and enemies. She sees her mother's over the top gestures to be but a passive-aggressive battle that she intends to win over and over again. Thus she never really believes in the sincerity of kind gestures brought her way, such as John's birthday gift seeming like a "facetious sentimental gesture," though no one is quite sure whether she truly believes such statements or if she's simply unwilling to admit that she appreciates such a sentiment. It's just as bad for her enemies as well, as noted while she speaks to the trolls and fails to believe that most of the time they're trying to help.

She also has an affinity for things dealing with the macabre and dabbles in the bestially strange and fictitious. She also enjoys writing purple-prose laced fanfiction about wizards, but hides her creative writing endeavors from prying eyes as well as she can. This only adds to her obvious intelligence usually not seen in children her age. She is also extremely long-winded and tends to over-analyze everything and anything, going on rants and deconstructing and/or rebuilding others ideas. She is also extremely cynical and due to her overall view in the world being 'gray' and somewhat clouded she is also the mostly likely of the team to fall into a very bad role where she may be corrupted. It's pretty much canon.

Somewhere there is a softer side to Rose, shown when she is willing to risk herself for the sake of her friends in a dream suicide mission to try and save them. She spends most of her time thinking up intricate plans and carefully plotting with outside sources in hopes of keeping those she cares for safe. While they sit and worry that Rose is slipping into something darker, especially concerned with her use of dark magic, she is quick to assure them that she knows what she is doing. One of the reasons she even began playing Sburb is because Jade had mentioned that she would be able to see her long dead cat Jaspers again, and if that isn't proof that the girl has an extremely soft and squishy side that she is otherwise unwilling or unable to show then I don't know what is. She also showed that she really does care her for mother or whatever despite all the passive-aggressive oneupmanship they exhibited through the years and is obviously upset by her death.

Then there's the fact that she took a cherished childhood toy, knitted and fixed it for the sake of giving it to John as birthday present in an attempt to one-up him. While this was intentionally suppose to be seen as yet another passive-aggressive show of oneupmanship in regards to her trying to outmatch him and the gift he gave her, it's pretty obvious that she cares. Why else would she willingly give away something she cared for greatly? and why else would she spend so much damn time trying?

In the end Rose is still just a 13 year old girl with a lot to learn and having lost so much in so little time, dealing with the end of the world and speaking to aliens from other timelines while traveling to weird dream-verses and various areas of the universe to speak to Gods dealing in dark magic...it's no wonder she might be a little off at times.

[Specialties/Abilities]

Aside from being an extremely intelligent 13 year old and well versed in the English language ( especially compared to her friends and the trolls ), Rose wields various dark magics used to help her in battle and channeled mostly through her sewing needles called the Thorns of Oglogoth. She's good at improvising in battles and very acrobatic with the unthinkable ability to take down an ogre far bigger than her with ease. She also uses a magic cue ball that will show her what is happening at the current point in time if asked, as the Seer of Light she is able to see said predictions where others cannot.

[Affection] I will reiterate that she is 13 and not really the social type. I'd assume the only people she'd want touching her, if at all, are the other kids. And even then she'd probably just give awkward hugs because not all of them have actually met in person yet.

[Fighting] Go ahead and try, she's very good at fighting and defending herself. She also has dark magic and will stab you in the face with her knitting needles if she has to. She wouldn't initiate fights though.

[Other Permissions] Just talk with me. Anything is fine probably.
