[ooc] Application
YOUR NAME: Mori
YOUR LIVEJOURNAL: ritzablitz
AIM SCREENNAME: forestofsleep
HAVE YOU ROLEPLAYED BEFORE?: Duuuur :B
CHARACTER'S NAME: Rosario Ferrari
CHARACTER'S LIVEJOURNAL: themafiatrap
AGE: 12
BIRTH DATE: 31st December
HOMETOWN: Verona, Veneto, Italy
OCCUPATION: Student, future mafia boss.
GRADE: First year middle school
CLUBS: N/A
SEX: Female (pretending to be male)
LEVEL: 1 (not yet awakened)
PLAYED BY: Czeslaw Meyer from Baccano!
WEAKNESSES: IS TINY. Therefore she is physically weak in comparison to most, as well as having a shorter reach. In spite of her maturity, she’s still a child, with all her personal insecurities and missteps and with many lessons yet to learn. She’s still vulnerable to fits of immaturity, as much as she dislikes it. She doesn’t trust easily, considering placing too much trust too soon could be the end of her one day. Rosario is rather insecure about her gender and how it may affect her role as future boss, and will go to great lengths to keep it hidden. Tries to be self-reliant, like she was raised to be, but at times it’s just plain stubborn pride that she doesn’t want to admit.
STRENGTHS: Because she’s a bit small, she moves pretty fast and particularly tall people might have to adjust their attacks to actually hit her. Especially for her age, Rosario is very level-headed and calm dealing with most situations, even the subject of death and killing doesn’t affect her as much as some kids her age. She analyzes situations and people fairly quickly, though preciseness tends to be slightly inaccurate, especially when it comes to people. She’s fiercely loyal to her family and people she trusts, as few as they are.

PERSONALITY: Rosario isn’t really much of a child. She wasn’t much of one to begin with, actually. Growing up surrounded by (uh, mostly) serious men in pressed black suits kind of does that to you. Most people will know her as a polite mellow young boy, though one who can be rather serious even about normal things. After a while, people notice she’s surprisingly mature and calm for someone her age; she tries to not let many things rattle her. It simply wouldn’t do to lose your nerve when you have to make some important judgments, after all. Still, she’s young and while she doesn’t like it Rosario can get her feathers ruffled by other people. It would just take something particularly serious to her for it to really show.
Truth be told, Rosario doesn’t really know how to be a child. If she had a childhood, then she can’t really remember it being much of one. For as long she can remember she knew was going to be someone important, and that what her “family” was involved in was largely…unsavory. That sometimes, people she know today might be gone tomorrow if they’re unfortunate. One could say with this kind of upbringing her mind matured far earlier than strictly necessary to handle it all. She doesn’t really regret anything, despite all that. It’s simply how life is to her. And besides, amid all that seriousness there are some nice, pleasant memories, so it wasn’t that bad to her either. She’s more used to dealing with grown men as opposed to kids her age, so she can’t easily connect with them.
She’s smart, though admittedly somewhat sheltered. She hears things from her father’s men, but doesn’t have much in the way of actual experience. Rosario’s the kind of person who catches on very quickly, thankfully. She’s got morals and standards. Okay, so they are kind of skewed from her upbringing, but she values loyalty and family above all else. There’s also honour and dignity somewhere there, but most people would find them…questionable. Secretly, she thinks that being a girl in a world dominated by men; she wouldn’t be respected as much. It’s not that she feels she was born wrong, but more of feeling that as long she is seen as a girl, she wouldn’t really be suited for the role of a mafia boss. Fortunately she’s still young so she can pull off the male disguise, but it’s only a matter of time before she can’t.
BACKGROUND: Born in the city of Verona, Rosario was born to the boss of the Ferrari mafia family and a nice young lady. Beyond that, a name and an old picture, she doesn’t know where or how her mother is. She had asked her father once, when she was very young, but his only answer was that the lady had left. Rosario never asked him again. Her father was a busy man, so while she did see him and spent time with him, for most of the part she was with tutors and under the care of a bodyguard. She was only seven when she was told about the mafia and some of the business the family was involved with, and she was raised to be capable of being the next boss. The following year, she was brought along to meet the executives. Some of them. They were…well, mostly nice men. In a way. They were the only family members she saw with any kind of regularity, if it could be called such.
This was her childhood. One may say it isn’t much of one, but she doesn’t mind.
She got a little older. Slowly, she realized the lack of any real…females in her life. There were some of the members’ wives, but she never saw them often. After a while, it made her uncomfortable. She never really thought of it before then, but realizing that the mafia consisted largely of men, she was beginning to doubt whether she’d be able to command as much respect as her father when she became boss. After some thinking, Rosario cut her hair and started acting as a boy. Her father thought it very strange, but if this was what his daughter…“son” decided, then there had better be a good reason. (Secretly, he hopes she’s just going through a stage of her life and she’ll get back to being normal. Normal by their standards, anyway.)
WHY IS YOUR CHARACTER HERE?: Considering her overall maturity, Rosario’s father decided to see how she would cope with being relatively alone in a foreign country. He thinks that it’d do her some good to actually get out and experience another culture for a change too, albeit with surveillance. Rosario is more or less is fine with it, surveillance not withstanding. She’s not entirely fluent with the language, but she knows enough hold a decent conversation. Reading is an entirely different matter.
She has yet to experience the Dark Hour, but she’d try to keep herself out of the factions involved. It’d complicate things, definitely, and when it comes right down to it her best interests lies with her family, and she’d rather not get anyone of them involved in it either.
