Age: 18

Species: Selkie

History: Since Rose’s earliest memories, her parents never got along. When her mother escaped, Rose wasn’t surprised. Her heart did take a blow. It hurt to think that her mother abandoned her. The next blow to her heart came when her father began his war on nonhumans. He called them demons. King Vladimir insisted humans should be the only race. This hurt Rose as she was a Selkie.

Over the years Rose would write and visit her mother often. Rose’s mother was the queen of a group of islands. She lived there with her werewolf lover and people. Their relationship changed when Rose was thirteen. Her mother gave birth to a baby girl. This was another blow to her heart. This had the effect of Rose keeping in touch and visiting her mother less and less. It seemed to her that her mother found a replacement for her. It came to a point where Rose only visited her mother once a year.

Rose learned to bottle up her feelings after her mother left. Her father cared little for her. Rose knew she’d have to get through things alone. Rose proceeded with her life, never showing any “bad” feelings. Though, there always seems to be sadness in her eyes. She followed most of her father’s wishes. One thing that irritated the king was when his daughter would wander off. She would disappear, and it was impossible for the guards to find her. It was her way of being defiant.

Besides it being her way of defiance, it was her way to cope with life and tighten the bottle. She often found herself ending up at some body of water on these trips. The woods had rivers and even a large lake or two. Her trips were nice as no one ever found her, well, until Vix came into her life.

Vix came into her life as her old handmaiden decided to leave. The old handmaiden didn’t feel safe. The king had started to hire people to kill werewolves and the like. Her old handmaiden wasn’t human. Rose knew of a few other nonhumans who worked at the castle, but she did not care. She’d protect them before harming them.

Rose plans on having peace between all creatures when she becomes queen. The hunts and terror would stop. She would hopefully be able to make up for the king’s sins. Hopefully it wouldn’t be too late to fix things. What her father was doing was tearing her apart inside. She couldn’t overthrow him though. Rose was his prisoner as he had her seal skin.
