Name: Roselle Aiton
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Title: Middle class commoner
Home country: France
Description: Fair skin, hazel eyes that often seem more green than brown, long brown hair that she ties up when she’s “acting.”
Personality: Head strong and fiercely independent, Roselle doesn’t take any unnecessary… ahem… crud from anyone. She’s protective of those close to her and has a wicked tongue.
History: Roselle’s mother (second daughter, third child of a low-ranking nobleman) died when she was young, leaving behind a husband, Roselle, and two younger sons. Her father owns a bookshop and believed education to be very important. He sent his two sons to a good school as soon as they were old enough, but taught Roselle himself. (He couldn’t find a school for girls that would meet his expectations.)
While her brothers were away at school, Roselle was introduced to the other side of the law. Her father tried to keep it from her (for safety reasons) but she eventually stumbled upon a hidden cache of illegal books. After months of spying and poking around, Roselle stumbled upon a secret back door in their basement that ran under the streets. Her father and his fellow conspirators found her, and she managed to convince them to let her help. She became close friends with the smugglers, and they taught her hand-to-hand combat and how to fight with knives as well. Whenever she goes out with them she disguises herself as a boy and answers to the name Rosaire.
Weapons: Knives
Misc.: Her mother’s family doesn’t like her father very much, because he converted from Catholicism to Protestantism. They think he’s leading their grandchildren away from the true faith. Roselle tends to side with her father; if he hadn’t converted, she never would have gotten such a wonderful education. She can speak several languages including English, Spanish, and bits and pieces of other European languages.
Aside from the smugglers and her family, Roselle has very few friends, and none of them her own age.
NOTE: Please ask before "seeing through" Roselle's disguise. Part of the fun for me is that she gets to dress up as a boy and pretend to be someone she's not, and it won't be as fun if all the other characters on the board know that the boy called "Rosaire" is actually "Roselle" in disguise.
The only exception to this is Marie, who saw through it before I posted this.
OOC: thought I'd introduce myself, since I know most of you already (I think =P) I'm Swan at THW, Ryu at Damarna, uh... well, those are pretty much the only two I'm active at right now. *waves* ^_^ So if you need anything, yell for Swan.
