Spoiler
Rosalie is a slim young woman in her mid twenties, 26 to be precise. She is fairly short, not even five and a half feet and slightly built with it, barely reaching 120 pounds. She is lightly muscled from working in a church as a maid for so long, and has a light farmer's tan on her face and arms, from working in a garden. She typically wears a robe of pure white with a sun emblem on it and keeps the hood down, to keep her face always towards the sun. Her face is round and holds a beatific smile most of the time, it almost never slips.. Her large blue eyes are sometimes covered by her long hair, blonde, but not often, and she tries to keep it out of her face, without binding it. Her hands are surprisingly rough from her hard work, but to those who understand the sun tattoo on her upper back, it is no surprise. Female acolytes of Isohel must work hard to earn their respect.

Personality:
Rosalie is a wonderfully sweet person and she expresses it through the way she handles the people that she meets. She always has a smile on her face and openly greets many of the people she encounters. She likes to strike up conversation with random people around her, especially if they continue to be receptive to talking with her. Rose also follows the path she has chosen, so long as it remains true to her nature. She would follow her friends into the fires of the Nether, and her God as well, so long as they remained true to their nature.
Of course, Rosalie has some character traits that aren't too good or bad. She can be bold, when the situation permits, but it typically shy around those that are older than her and in positions of power. However, that doesn't stop her from enjoying open displays of affection and she has no problems with hugging people she knows as soon as she sees them. Rose prefers to be outdoors, especially during the daytime and finds most time spent indoors during the day to be a waste, unless she's doing something important. Lastly, she's curious. Rose wants to understand everything, that's why she's with the Church of Isohel. Since the day she could walk, Rose has been getting into things and this hasn't stopped as she grew older.
Rosalie, while perfect in many ways, is still young and fairly sheltered. She doesn't quite understand the potential for evil in the world and has a hard time being somber during tense encounters. She has a habit of assuming people are joking when they deliver bad news and can often make the situation worse with an ill timed laugh. Of course, during stressful situations she can clam up and become weepy, her emotions are very obvious to nearly everyone and she does a poor job of keeping the strong negative ones in control. Of course, when she isn't under stress she likes to discuss her religion with others, openly, loudly, and frequently, She doesn't know too many details(male dominated religion and all), but she hopes everyone will eventually become devout followers of Isohel.

Rosalie grinned from her perch on the boat. She inhaled the sweet ocean air and let the hood down on her robe. It wasn't often that members of the Church would leave to go to new lands and she was glad to be one of the few. She wasn't a full priest, but she had been a good aid to Father Mathias so he had let her go visit her friend, Thomas, in a remote town called Alroc. Ro' shivered in excitement. Thomas would be so glad to see her, and he didn't know that she was coming, he had a giant hug in store for him and he didn't even know it. She stretched her arms a bit and wandered around the ship, her eyes glancing over the journal she had brought with her, it was full of her secrets and her history. She had started keeping it when she was really young, around 10, and she hadn't shown it to anyone. Simply by reading that one book, someone would know all of her secrets, all of her hidden loves, her doubts about the Church, some of the things she thought about the Elder Priests. Everything was in there. Rosalie picked up the book and settled in. She would go over it once more, like she did every time she moved, to get a sense of how she had got where she was today.
The first few pages were not in Rose's hand writing, but in that of her father's, Darren. It described her first few years of life, before she had properly learned to write and events that she didn't remember. She always glanced over this part with a weight in her heart, and her smile slipped as she read it. She hadn't seen her father in a long time. She had last seen him when she was admitted to the Church of Isohel , the God of the Sun. It was a beautiful day and her father, kind as always, had ridden out to the Church to wish her good luck with her training. She never saw him again, her studies consumed all of her time, and when she finally was able to visit, he wasn't there.
Shaking her head against such dark thoughts, she reads the first section. It begins with her birth, in the town of Highport, where her mother, Sona, and her father lived before they shortly moved to Auria. She was very young during this time, hardly two, and she remembers little of her time before she was ten. She does, however, remember the part about Thomas, her best friend. When they first met she took him to her house and her dad was so angry when he found out. Rose pleaded with him to let Thomas stay, almost like most girls would have done with a puppy, but Thomas was better than anything else, even a puppy. He was right at two years older than her, and she loved him already. A smile creeps on to her lips again as she reads about her escapades with Thomas, like getting lost in the forest, or hunting for monsters. They were simpler days. As she flips the pages she moves past the section about Thomas and instead she finds a few pages ripped out, and the frown returns, like it always does when she gets here. Katryna was a good friend of hers, she help Rose find flowers and gave her some clothes even though Rose was so young and Katryna had a child of her own. It seemed that Darren hated Katryna, even though she was so nice. Her dad forbid her from meeting with Kat, ever, and having to tell Katryna that Rose would never be able to see her again was the first time she cried from sadness, one of the few in her life.
Rosalie flips through the pages until she reaches the point where it shifts from being an adult's handwriting to her own, although much more crude and less flowing, and returns the smile to her face. What was in the past was in the past, that's why she read this journal every time she moved to a new location. Even through the smiles, someone could see the glimmer of tears in her eyes. Life was so much harder now, and although for the rest of the journal it got better, she would still never reclaim the time she lost as a child. Rose moved back to the mainland where she lived in, as her 12 year old self described it, "a castle" in the town of Avan. In reality it was a simple manor, but to a twelve year old, a castle it was. It was the only reason she'd leave. Leaving Thomas behind, and all the wonderful people of Auria. The nice mayor who gave her flowers, that silly alchemist person that gave her and Thomas paints, even now she remembers the feelings of sadness. She moves swiftly past these parts, it's too hard to read, still. All the feelings poured out here. Her secret crush for Thomas, all the sad memories, all the hate directed towards her father for making her move. The first time she read through the journal to remember the good times, it was all so sad, and she couldn't handle it. During Rosalie's time in the manor, she met other people, her grandparents and others, but they didn't leave a lasting impression. She became reserved for the first time in her life, but it all changed when she got her first letter from Thomas.
It detailed him leaving Auria and that the volcano near Auria had blown up! It was an amazing story and she often wrote how brave he was to have gotten through it. Rosalie picked up artistry, one of her few skills from her childhood, and practiced it in full, sending paintings of Thomas' adventures to him. She filled her room with paintings. She left her mopey self behind and found new strength in her art. The sun was a frequent theme in her art, as she saw the coming of the dawn as a resurrection of herself, although at the age of 14, she hardly understood it properly. Over the next four years she spent time learning her art and living in the lap of luxury. Rosalie became warm again, and socialized among the higher caste, but never found love, as was expected of her. Many boys sought her, and she was warm and open with them , but never moved beyond being a sweet friend. Occasionally, one would be able to snatch a midnight kiss, but these people were the luckiest of their peers, and few ever equaled the feat. In a way, she was in an ivory tower of her own making. She refused to let people get too close, but was constantly around them.
Four years passed as she lived in the manor and her number of friends was large. When Rosalie decided it was time to leave her home, people were shocked, and they were more so when she chose to join the Church of Isohel. In celebration, and to commemorate her going away, her Father and grandparents hosted a massive party, rivalled by none since. Every boy and girl in the area came to attend and a few High Lords were rumored to be in attendance. Rosalie received many well wishes and gifts from the patrons, and she was happy. Her favorite gift, of course, came in the form of a letter from Thomas, with him also wishing her well (the letter is actually pressed into the journal). The revelry came to a close and Rosalie retired for the night, even more firm in her believe that it was time to join the Church. She could help people there and would learn more about the world, her curiosity and desire to save the people of the world would be sated. The day came and only her father came to see her off. It was a tearful goodbye as Rosalie, now a young woman of 18, gave her father one last hug as she left him. The priests were kind, but stern. They put her to work as a maid for a time, to prove her devotion to Isohel, and it never wavered. The parting words of her father ringing clearly in her head, "I worked hard for you to be able to live a life like this, make sure to live it well."
She never once was actually able to work as an assistant to a priest, for those duties were reserved for the male acolytes, but she was allowed to help in every other aspect, and help she did. She baked, she tended stew, she sorted books in the Cathedral's library, she worked as a nurse. Every job they could throw at her she overcame and conquered. She learned how to take care of the sick, she learned how to bake bread, she learned how to clean floors, all for her father and for the future glory of Isohel. Every day she was up with the sun in the morning rituals and every sundown she went to bed tired. The days were long, but Rosalie knew that she could overcome this. For four long years she worked as a maid of in the Cathedral, and when the time finally came to select her place among the members of the Church, Rosalie knew exactly where she wanted to go, the scribes. The scribes copied books and engraved the art on them. As one of them she would be able to cultivate her flowers to make colored inks, she would be able to work outdoors making the black ink, she would be able to practice her artistry, and if anyone saw a scribe writing a letter, no one questioned who it was for. Ro' kept up common correspondence with Thomas throughout this time, and wished him well in his travels. For once, it wasn't just him that got to share exciting stories. Once more, knowledge of the outside world tried to intrude upon Rose's life, but once again it was shut out. Her devotion to her work took up most of her time, and the Elder priests were tight-lipped out what was happening on the outside, instead telling her to focus on her duties.
And so, four more years passed with Rosalie perfecting her art as a scribe and she once again started to pine for what could be. She had tried to visit her father and was unsuccessful, and was beginning to grow tired of life inside the Cathedral. As much as she enjoyed life among the priests, she desired to roam the world, to meet more people, to spread happiness as far and wide as she could, and that’s when she hit on a perfect idea. She would visit her life-long friend. He had been there since the beginning and Ro' knew he would be happy to have her as a guest for a while. Alroc seemed like a new and interesting place full of people to meet and gardens to tend. It certainly sounded like the place could use a bit of color, it was in a desert, for Isohel's Grace! So, with a bit of charm and a history of service, Rosalie was able to secure leave from the Cathedral, as long as she promised to spread the word of Isohel and not be absent too long. She packed her things and found a boat. Thomas had been very helpful in giving her the location of Alroc, and so, a few coins later, she was on her way. All she had to her name was her white robes of Isohel and her desire to spread joy to the remaining Mesalians in dark times.

-Rose has always been a cute child, and she remains a cute woman. While this isn't actually a trained skill, she is awful cute.
-Apprentice cleaning: During her training period at the Cathedral, she was forced to work as a maid and as such was forced to clean the whole Cathedral multiple times over her four year training period. She is more skilled at cleaning than someone with not experience, but hardly put any serious thought into it and only has the experience she does from working this trade for four years.
-Apprentice cooking: Rose spent some time working in the Cathedrals kitchen and preferred it to working in the infirmary. Cooking was much nicer than listening to the groans of those in pain and injured. She mainly worked as an assistant in the beginning but was forced to learn more out of necessity to provide quality to the priests.
-Novice Medicine: She worked as a doctor's assistant during her training in the Cathedral of Isohel, and did her job well, but this never was an interest of Rose's. More often than not she preferred working in the kitchen to the infirmary, and while she does know a little, it would only be enough to follow a doctor's order or to treat the simplest of wounds.
-Apprentice Gardening: Rosalie has almost always been fascinated by plants and how they grew. She let this desire lapse until recently when the need to grow plants for dye for the Cathedral became an important part of her work.
-Competent Artistry(Painting and script writing): Painting has always been a hobby of hers, and she used it heavily in her teenage years to express herself and to paint the journeys of her best-friend, Thomas. Recently, in the past four years, she had begun to learn the trade of inscription and engraving, while copying religious texts from the priests in the Cathedral of Isohel.

Basic Religious Knowledge (Isohel): Ro' knows more than the average person, but she doesn't actually know that much. She is more familiar with the standard rituals, but isn't privy to the higher knowledge because of her gender.
Advanced Language (Common): Rose is well versed in common, she has spoken it her entire life and continues to. Her time with the Church of Isohel has taught her a slightly more advanced vocabulary than the average nobleman.

Guide to Relationship colors:
Miss Chathra: I honestly don't know where I'd be without Miss Chathra. Right when I was at my lowest point, and worried I would have to leave Alroc, she appeared. I had gone into the inn, and found her there. I told her my story and she offered me a place to live and a job to make myself productive. Without her, I would be gone by now, almost certainly. After being so incredibly generous, she continued to act as a guardian, and helped me a number of times. When Miss Peyton came into the inn, Miss Chathra stood up for me, saying that I would be a valuable asset as a healer. When one of her previous employees accused me of taking their job, she made me feel a true part of her kitchen, and told him to be kind to me. When all hope seemed lost once more and that Miss Peyton would never accept me as an apprentice, she came up with a plan to teach me to be a healer anyway. I was so worried when I told her that I had spoken to Miss Peyton, and that she wanted to help me, after all. I thought Miss Chathra would be so angry, that I had gone behind her back, and betrayed her trust. But she wasn't. She was happy that I was accepted by Miss Peyton. She was more upset that I had thought she was angry. She's wonderful, and I owe her a debt that can hardly be repaid, and when I told her as much, she tried to brush it off. It only made me more certain that she was a wonderful person.
Miss Zarkaylia: I knew Miss Zarkaylia before coming to Alroc, although not very well. When I first met her when I arrived in Alroc I said some very rude things and hope that she forgives me, although she was very nice about it. I, however, was mortified. However, I love her to death for taking care of Thomas for me and for letting me stay with her. I honestly wish to get to know her better, she seems to hold the respect of much of the town, and I admire that.
Miss Peyton: Miss Peyton. What do I say about her? I appreciate the fact that she is letting me study under her, but the fact that she was so rude when we first met... I just don't know. Miss Chathra has told me many things that Miss Peyton has done, and I take those into account, but I wish to make my own judgment, and I'm having a hard time doing so. I guess I really need to get to know her better. When I first met her, she told me that she would never have me as an apprentice and that she would never accept me. But I persevered and now I'm her apprentice, learning to craft of healing people. Helping people is my goal in life, it is all I wish to do. I wish to learn to heal to be able to better help people. And no one is going to keep me from my goal!
Seven: Seven is very hard for me to describe. When I first met him he was such a nice gentleman. I was worried for him, and I worried over why he was in prison. I thought that maybe he was an evil person, and they needed to repent. But it didn't seem so. He didn't act evil, he acted misguided. I spoke with Seven a number of times, and my last major encounter with him was when Peyton came in to visit him as well. It was during this time that Seven accused me of being a murderer. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. Me? A murderer? My whole life is based around helping people and keeping them safe! Murderer? I shut down when he said that. I was overwhelmed. I couldn't imagine that anyone would think that. Miss Peyton believed him and thought that maybe I was. I sat down and wept. I don't think Seven meant any harm, but I certainly don't like him. I hope he learns to be more careful about what he says.
Bishop: I spoke with Bishop for just a little while, but while I did he showed me a wondrous thing. A device that allowed you to speak to other people over vast distances. I was truly impressed and he seemed like a nice young man. I don't really have a firm opinion of him, but he certainly seems nice.
Thomas: I've known Thomas ever since I was a child. We spent all of our time together and I consider him my closest friend. Since moving to Alroc I've hardly seen him, but I treasure the time I have been able to spend with him. I hope to be able to get to know him better. The one time we did speak, he told me about how he was fighting a war to keep his city a nicer place. I was shocked, but only for a moment. I know Thomas, he would only ever fight to keep people safe and to help people live better lives. I wish he could do it another way, but I understand that sometimes violence is necessary. I still love and support him all the same.
Nadia: Nadia is a fascinating person. She is an Xitian, but she seems like nothing from the books I've read. I was quite pleased when she was willing to sit down and talk to me. I agreed to help her write a history of the Xitians that describes their culture and how they live, and that paints them in a fair light. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better, but for now, I'm reserving judgement.
Lapis: I spoke with Lapis for a minute amount of time. She seemed nice, but I just didn't spend enough time with her to get to know her.
Really like: This person is one whom Rose would make an effort to find and speak to. There people are considered her best of friends. Family usually falls into this category as does anyone that Rose has... special feelings for.
Like: These people Rose has typically spoken to a few times or have made an impression with just one conversation. Most people fall into this category.
Neutral: These people Rose has heard about, but hasn't met yet, or they've only spoken once and she has no real opinion of them, yet.
Dislike: Few people fall into this category, and they are typically people that have said hurtful things to her and haven't made up for it.
Really Dislike: This category is mostly reserved for people who have done actual wrong to Rose, physically or emotionally. If you're in this spot she will actively avoid you, not talk about you, and the very mention of your name will cause her to become colder and more distant. It is nearly impossible to get to this point, but it's nearly impossible to leave.
Family: Anyone related to her through marriage or blood, this is always paired with another feeling and is more of a statement than an emotion. People in this category have an easier time having a better relationship with Rose, but not by much.

Miss Zarkaylia: I knew Miss Zarkaylia before coming to Alroc, although not very well. When I first met her when I arrived in Alroc I said some very rude things and hope that she forgives me, although she was very nice about it. I, however, was mortified. However, I love her to death for taking care of Thomas for me and for letting me stay with her. I honestly wish to get to know her better, she seems to hold the respect of much of the town, and I admire that.
Miss Peyton: Miss Peyton. What do I say about her? I appreciate the fact that she is letting me study under her, but the fact that she was so rude when we first met... I just don't know. Miss Chathra has told me many things that Miss Peyton has done, and I take those into account, but I wish to make my own judgment, and I'm having a hard time doing so. I guess I really need to get to know her better. When I first met her, she told me that she would never have me as an apprentice and that she would never accept me. But I persevered and now I'm her apprentice, learning to craft of healing people. Helping people is my goal in life, it is all I wish to do. I wish to learn to heal to be able to better help people. And no one is going to keep me from my goal!
Seven: Seven is very hard for me to describe. When I first met him he was such a nice gentleman. I was worried for him, and I worried over why he was in prison. I thought that maybe he was an evil person, and they needed to repent. But it didn't seem so. He didn't act evil, he acted misguided. I spoke with Seven a number of times, and my last major encounter with him was when Peyton came in to visit him as well. It was during this time that Seven accused me of being a murderer. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. Me? A murderer? My whole life is based around helping people and keeping them safe! Murderer? I shut down when he said that. I was overwhelmed. I couldn't imagine that anyone would think that. Miss Peyton believed him and thought that maybe I was. I sat down and wept. I don't think Seven meant any harm, but I certainly don't like him. I hope he learns to be more careful about what he says.
Bishop: I spoke with Bishop for just a little while, but while I did he showed me a wondrous thing. A device that allowed you to speak to other people over vast distances. I was truly impressed and he seemed like a nice young man. I don't really have a firm opinion of him, but he certainly seems nice.
Thomas: I've known Thomas ever since I was a child. We spent all of our time together and I consider him my closest friend. Since moving to Alroc I've hardly seen him, but I treasure the time I have been able to spend with him. I hope to be able to get to know him better. The one time we did speak, he told me about how he was fighting a war to keep his city a nicer place. I was shocked, but only for a moment. I know Thomas, he would only ever fight to keep people safe and to help people live better lives. I wish he could do it another way, but I understand that sometimes violence is necessary. I still love and support him all the same.
Nadia: Nadia is a fascinating person. She is an Xitian, but she seems like nothing from the books I've read. I was quite pleased when she was willing to sit down and talk to me. I agreed to help her write a history of the Xitians that describes their culture and how they live, and that paints them in a fair light. I'm looking forward to getting to know her better, but for now, I'm reserving judgement.
Lapis: I spoke with Lapis for a minute amount of time. She seemed nice, but I just didn't spend enough time with her to get to know her.

This section is in here because a year or two down the road, it's fun to see what has changed. The later updates will be more specific as changes become more precise. Right now, I'm just getting everything down in bulk amounts.
22 July 2014: Added. Mostly just copied over the whitelist application.
29 July 2014: Updated relationships. After 4 lost updates because I kept closing tabs, it's finally done.
14 August 2014: Added in a birthday. Noticed something interesting. Almost all traits Rose has as an adult were traits she had as a child, just matured. Can't remember if this was intentional or not after looking up old character sheet.

It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living.
