Fashion Sense
{ [X-Men] -- [Professional 1] -- [Relaxin'] -- [Professional 2] -- [Relaxin' 2] -- [Working Out] -- [Relaxin' 3] }
Rose has a rather broad sense of fashion and her closets are a smorgasbord of random outfits. She seems rather fond of colorful hair and contacts, always color coordinating her outfits by theme and color; her eyes and hair color always match the dominant color of her outfit. She's rather fond of being barefoot or wearing sandals that expose a lot of her foot, pairing the natural look with cotton sundresses. It's no secret that she's got a shoe fetish, boasting a large collection of heels and boots of all kinds. She loves to accessorize with a variety of piercings, bows, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. She's also a huge fan of crazy socks as well as scarves.

➳ Humming ➳ Tattooing herself ➳ Reciting facts ➳ Quoting songs, poems, and books ➳ Quoting movies ➳ Just quoting in general ➳ Scratching her hands when she's nervous ➳ Babbling when she's hiding something from someone she cares about ➳ Cooking when stressed ➳ Not looking where she's walking ➳
Aspirations
▲ Achieving peaceful relations with the human population ▲ Taking down anti-mutant terrorist groups. She wants to slaughter them all, really. ▲ Living in a world safe enough to raise a family. ▲
Fears
▼Dying in her sleep – Because she is so dead to the world when she finally lays her head down to rest, she fears that something bad will happen [like an attack on the mansion] and she will end up killed in her sleep. ▼ Failing the X-Men – She is honored to have been chosen as the leader, though it wasn't a surprise. While she is optimistic and takes her position in stride, she also holds the fear that she might do something wrong and mess up, maybe even put someone's life in danger. ▼ Fire – She's fine with fire that is held under control as with stove fires and such. However, she all but shuts down when a fire gets out of control. It is among her greatest of all fears. ▼
Secrets
∞ She used to be in the Brotherhood and was known as The Big Apple Psychopath; She was never identified by the NYPD. The only people who would know this are her colleagues who have been at Xavier's since her teen years. ∞ She chose her codename when she was thirteen because a relatively small cult within The Brotherhood of Mutants worshiped her as Gaea, as did her mother before she was killed.. ∞ There is a part of her that believes that she is Gaea reincarnated. Because of her Hellenistic upbringing, she welcomes this. ∞
Personality
{Intelligent} {Aesthete} {Adventurous} {Charming} {Able to Balance Heavy Schedules} {Passionate} {Fluid} {Vindictive} {Aggressive} {Audacious}
She's very amiable and finds it easy to approach others, though because she is a mutant, she is wary around most humans. She's your typical sweetheart, often throwing people off because her type of sweet is a rare thing these days. She would offer a total stranger her jacket if they were cold or perhaps a slice of pie if they seemed sad. Once a person has earned the right to be called her friend, they aren't just a witness to her outgoing and whimsical mannerisms, but they become involved and she's more open. She's a great leader and is quick to take charge when things get hectic, able to keep a level head when shit gets real. Her likable personality and amount of training makes it easier to give commands.
She's the type of girl who prefers spending time with her friends over solitude unless she needs some time to think. She's almost always with someone though, even if she's just reading a book or writing a new song. She's never still for too long, having to do something that keeps her moving. Because of this, she often prefers to be entertaining. Whether she's in the middle of the mall, a classroom, a 7/11, or the street, she has no problem bursting into song, dancing, performing acrobatic stunts, acting out a scene from Hamlet, or breaking out an instrument. She's not really an attention-whore, as some would misunderstand. She just likes to see a smile on people's faces while being able to express herself and her talents. She's very proud of her talents, though not overbearingly so to the point where she has to point it out in every conversation or display them to anyone who hasn't seen yet. In actuality, when it comes to performing in front of others, she tends to only do it to cheer them up or busk. She's never actually uploaded any videos of herself performing from home – All videos of her performing are from her busking. She'll only perform socially at the request of others and prefers that she's not the center of attention outside of busking or leading her team.
Express yourself is a phrase that she's highly familiar with. Art is her life and her passion, easily told by the tattoos and piercings adoring her body. One of her pet peeves is being judged (herself and others) for tattoos and piercings. She literally has a rebuttal for anything and everything that a person might try to argue about in a conversation against body art, as she's been approached more than once (like so many others) by people (mostly old people) with reserves against body art. She's very proud of the ink that she's put on her body and finds herself often doodling more onto them every now and again when the inspiration hits her. She frequents tattoo shops to observe the work of others (maybe now and again to do some work of her own for some cash) and isn't against sitting in an art museum for hours to stare at a painting or sculpture to wonder what the artist was feeling. She wishes that every artist had her ability to make others feel as they do when they perform or paint, thinking that more people would truly appreciate art if they could.
That's her good side. Let's talk about her inner warrior.
She can be rather volatile and unpredictable at times, sometimes snapping about the smallest things. She possesses a strong desire to satisfy her need to vindicate the innocent lives she had been forced to take and the lives of others that she had not taken but had witnessed being taken. In battle she is absolutely brutal, cruel, and uncaring. She can skin a man alive and pour acid on him without feeling a shred of remorse for what she had done.
But she wasn't messy -- at least not in the sense of leaving a trail. She was an apex predator. She was the crocodile in murky waters and her prey was the unsuspecting deer trying to cross. She was smart – She had been trained to leave no traces of her presence and she did very well in that. She would often compare herself to Dexter -- a favorite show of hers and a bit of inspiration. She had been hardened by her past and no fucks were given as she watched the light diminish from the eyes of her victims. But she felt in her head that she was doing the right thing. Her heart had no say in it -- They weren't on speaking terms during that time. But despite her cruel treatment of criminals, she never hurt an innocent person if she could help herself (when she wasn't under the influence of the government) and would go out of her way to make sure that an innocent would remain out of harm's way even if it meant that she would get hurt.
Gaea
Mutation
Nature Lordship.
Mutation Capabilities
Environmental Adaptation - [Passive] Rosetta's body automatically adapts to the environment around her to provide her an optimal chance for health and survival. It is because of this that she doesn't need specialized suits and equipment like the others. She can survive extreme heat, extreme cold, varying water pressures, pollution, varying air pressures, and many others. It is because of this that her body can survive for the seven days when she sleeps without food or water. Ecological Empathy – [Passive] Rosetta has the ability to innately sense the state of the world around her, though it is entirely localized. She can tell where there is pollution, which plants are dying, who is sick, and if something is simply off. She can immediately identify various flora and fauna by touch or a single glance and their uses. She can sense the overall well-being and conditions of their immediate environment and natural setting stemming from a psychic sensitivity to nature, including all biomes (forests, deserts, tundras, wetlands, mountains, etc). A tree naturally falling or predator catching their prey in a near by forest is felt by her, leaving her feeling calmly relieved. Unnaturally, it leaves with a sense of hurt. She can detect natural changes as well (raise in temperature, humidity, etc). Nature Enhancement & Manipulation – [Master] Rosetta can manipulate plants, even the ones that she is not in physical contact with. She can also generate plants from her body as well as from nothing at all. She can enhance or diminish the health of the plants. She can sap the life force from plants around her to heal herself as well, though she hasn't learned to redirect the life force to heal others yet. She can sense the sentience within plants that others cannot, able to speak to them as well as enhance their sentience. Elemental Transformation – [Expert] She has the ability to transform into different elements including air, metal, and different kinds of plants. She can turn into fire and earth but it's hard for her to turn back. Air Manipulation – [Adept] She can manipulate air at an adept level, creating strong gusts of wind from nothing. It becomes quite problematic for people around her when she sneezes. Animal Manipulation – [Adept] She can morph into any animal if she's eaten its meat first and she can understand and communicate with them. She bonds with animals faster than most but she cannot command them unless the bond is intense. Earth & Metal Manipulation – [Expert] Rosetta can manipulate the earth and its minerals with ease, having trained long and hard under the tutelage of a friend, Petra. She has yet to be capable of generating them from nothing as she can with plants. She can create small earthquakes and open up the earth a bit as well. However, her abilities limit it to being localized. She can also manipulate different types of metals except for copper. Electricity Manipulation – [Adept] She can manipulate and generate electricity from her body with enough voltage to knock someone on their ass but she hasn't learned how to control other sources of electricity yet. Fire Manipulation – [Novice] Her control over fire is novice because of her fear of it. She can create small fireballs in her hand and shoot them about or cover her hand in fire, but they never last long. She's too afraid and when she starts to freak out so does the fire. It tends to end badly. Water Manipulation – [Expert] She can manipulate and control different liquids so long as there is water in them and she can create water from nothing. She is capable of controlling and generating large volumes of water as well as altering the state and temperature of it. Magma Manipulation – [Unrealized] Crystal Manipulation – [Unrealized] Weather Manipulation – [Passive-Master] She can sense, create, shape and manipulate weather, {the meteorological patterns, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and temperature changes etc}. This includes the ability to generate various natural phenomena or control the intensity of the weather in highly concentrated (inside room) or vastly extended (continental) areas. The weather often responds to her mood when she is in an intense state of emotion. Slowed and Halted Aging – [Passive] She stopped aging when she was eighteen, her cells constantly rejuvenated by drawing in life and energy from nature around her.
Skills/Talents/Strengths/Knowledge
She speaks English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Greek. She's also an expert in all subjects concerning the environment, having studied the subjects deeply to better understand her powers. She is very knowledgeable about various theologies and deities, a very spiritual person. She's a 1st degree black belt in Muay Thai and a formidable boxer, a former Lightweight Youth World Champion. She is very light on her feet and good at evading incoming attacks. She might be a bit smaller than most of her opponents but she can certainly take a hit. Her domestic skills include cooking, familiar with many recipes through surfing the web. She is also a frequent traceuse, spending a lot of time with her best friend in gymnastics. She is an excellent driver, though she's hardly a stunt master. She's qualified to fly the Bird, taught by her mentor, Ororo. She is a talented patron of the arts. Because she never sleeps, never really tires, she has a lot of time on her hands to learn many new skills and subjects.
Equipment
She keeps an array of items with her in her backpack, most notably is her iPad, laptop, headphones, a set of journals and notepads, homemade candy, bags of sugar, and marijuana joints. She doesn't fight with any weapons because she feels no need considering her abilities as a hand-to-hand combatant and her power abilities.
Weaknesses
She knew a mutant once upon a time who could heal and who also didn't know about her healing factor. She had broken her arm and the young mutant tried to heal her while Rosetta's own body was in the process. Doing so didn't work out so well and now when her left arm is hit with enough force it goes numb for days. She cannot sleep. She might get tired, but she cannot sleep for any longer than three or four hours a day. It's on the last seven days of every month when she just shuts down, her body entering a state of self-preservation as she recharges completely. It's these seven days when she's at her weakest. You could throw her done a flight of stairs and she still wouldn't wake up. She can stave off that sleep for a few days if she must, but she'll sleep for every day that she missed. She has dash of PTSD, a sprinkle of paranoia, and a hearty helping of dysphoric mania. She is allergic to copper. She also has a marijuana, sugar, and alcohol addiction. She is incapable of ingesting any non organic food or drink without growing violently sick.
Rosetta was born in Greece when her father, a native of the Brazil, found himself backpacking across the country. When he happened across Athena, he fell in love even though she was much younger. The two were married within a few months and she was soon pregnant. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Happy, the new couple moved to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where Edgar's family resided. Growing up, these two children absolutely adored their parents, though they were more inclined to their mother. However, things began to soon change. Their mother had given birth to them at home and was against taking them to the doctor, being a militant naturalist. She eventually caved, not having much of a choice, when her mother-in-law -- a pediatrician -- offered to be their pediatrician from home. She noticed anomalies in their blood and sent it to a friend of hers, soon discovering that her grandchildren were mutants. A Catholic woman, she was conflicted and kept this information to herself while she prayed on it. They were her grandchildren and innocent babies. She began to pray on it and decided that they could be angels instead. The two children grew up relatively normally, healthy, and happy. They were very active and family oriented, always being doted on. But by the age of six, their powers began to grow out of control with their immature mood swings. They were soon thrust into a world of darkness and abuse.
Athena tried to protect her children, saying that they only needed to learn to control it. The rest of the family were convinced that it was her fault, being a devotee of the Hellenic religion rather than a Catholic. They believed that she spawned the children of Satan while she argued that her children were the incarnations of Gaea and Aether. They made threats to call in the government if she would not allow them to be taken to church to be exorcised. And so she told her children that they were leaving -- She was going to take the six year olds far away to a place she had heard of for mutants like them where they could learn to better control their abilities and they wouldn't have to hide. She hadn't had the chance before Edgar killed his wife and turned his children over to the government when an exorcism didn't work and left three priests dead.
The two soon found themselves under the “care” of Martino Alvarez and his team of odd and twisted scientists and soldiers. With twelve other mutants, they were in captivity and slavery from the ages of six to fifteen. For nine years they suffered daily emotional, mental, physical, verbal, and sexual abuse while under Stockholm Syndrome. In order to control them, their captors told them that their families were simply frightened but with their help the children would come to serve a higher purpose and be able to help innocent people. When they did wrong or refused cooperation, they were beaten and harassed, eventually coming to feel like worthless tools for the use of human supremacy, nearly brainwashed. Tulio died when he was nine after having his heart removed for study, though Rosetta was told that a bad man from outside the agency had killed him, fueling a rage in her. In their years of captivity, Rosetta had been the strong one. She was the one that defended who she could, taking extra beatings so that he might be spared and have a few minutes to recover. The most horrific part of her capture was the Quintipede. It was a crude form of technology that was used to manipulate a person's nerves to control their movement. It was a failure and discarded after they resolved that their current treatment and abuse would suffice. At such a malleable age, it was fine; They didn't need to train adults when they could have a powerful mutant army. They were transformed into drones, trained to handle various forms of combat.
Rosetta was among the five that survived the experiments and torture, becoming a finally tuned killing machine that was sent out to kill enemies of the agency and capture other mutants under the notion that they were "bad people". Eventually, she snapped -- along with a few others -- and began to fight back. They were unable to completely defeat the agency but they were able to escape. She was thirteen years old and fled to the United States, having remembered mentions of Xavier's Institute for Gifted Youngsters during meetings. However, she was discovered first by The Brotherhood of Mutants. She would not reveal her tale to them but she allowed them to take her in and teach her as well as use her, though she had no clue that she was being used to further their agenda against humans. It was there that Rosetta went through a couple of years of deep depression and anger, her strange sleeping habit forming. For four years, she simply lost her passion for life and seemed to just go through motions of living. She also had a sort of... “Batman Meets Dexter Phase” going on. She would venture out into the city and brutally murder criminals that she came across. The NYPD was on a manhunt for a serial killer with no face or no name. But someone knew who it was.
Fearing that the government would get their hands on her and it would end badly for both her and all mutant kind, after finding out who she was and what Magneto had her doing, Charles met with her and went through intense therapy with her and eventually broke through. By the time that she was seventeen years old she had left The Brotherhood and moved into Xavier's where she slowly began to mellow out during her therapy sessions with Charles and slowly began to open up. She attended lessons regularly and eventually earned her high school diploma before she began to study to become a Professor at the Academy. She was twenty when she joined the X-Men and it was one of the proudest moments of her life. She was hit hard when both Erik and Charles died, fond of them both and hating neither. She was chosen by Scott, Ororo, and Logan to lead the X-Men when she was twenty-three years old and began to choose the new X-Men as well when they retired. She had developed close friendships with all of their children and plans on paving a new way for mutants, though it is often questioned whose vision she shares: Charles' or Erik's.
She has lead the Academy as the X-Men Leader and the Headmistress for the past ten years and didn't have much trouble with anything. Nothing too drastic, anyways. She could hardly believe it when she and the other X-Men were told by a group of seer mutants about the alternate reality. Wolverine tagging along, they sought out Wanda to confront her about the issue as well as meaning to put her away where she couldn't cause anymore trouble. When they arrived they found her powers concentrating together for another big warp. They had no idea what she planned on doing until she uttered the words “No more mutants.”. When talking her down failed and a few of them found themselves feeling rather normal, Wolverine wasn't going to risk the mutations of others. Rosetta watched as he killed her. They didn't know how many had lost their mutations until they returned to Xavier's. Jean and Scott's daughter, Miriam, dusted off Cerebro and attempted to use it. It overloaded her and she was able to utter only a number before she died. The Academy was sent into a frenzy as students, staff, and X-Men alike found themselves as humans. Rosetta got over the shock as quickly as she could and began to work to get everything and everyone in order. She knew that this was only the beginning.
