Appearance
Rosena is a 5 foot nothing Forsaken woman whose decay has been in process for quite some time. For a Forsaken, she still has a roundness and softness to her that speaks of a past of being rather plump; after four pregnancies, she no longer had her girlish figure, but she seemed very content with it. Dead, she dresses oddly, in bright colors and in dresses that seem to be tailored to fit a very different body than the one she now has. They are also a full decade out of fashion.
Her eyes were once a very dark brown, but now have the telltale golden glow of the undead. Alive, she was considered to be a sort of country pretty, with a rosebud like pout and large, expressive eyes. Her hair was often called her One Real Beauty, and she kept it very long and very well maintained. Now, after eight years of undeath, her hair is a ragged, broken mess of various lengths. She never touches it. She has a soft, whispy voice, and a strong country Darrowshire accent. She tends to drawl her vowels a little.
Personality
Timid ⬥ Obdurate ⬥ Responsible ⬥ Solicitous
ALIGNMENT: LAWFUL EVIL
Rosena was a natural born small-town gossip in life and that holds true in undeath. Small and prone to pretending to be much weaker than she really is, Rosena can be nonetheless extremely stubborn to the point of harming herself or others, but she is almost obsequious to authority, at least in willing to pay lip service to it. She will frequently do things only because they are the expected choice for her, and holds onto pieces of her duties with an uncomfortably tight grip.
She carries a rabbit with her often. It has the same name every time, but you're pretty sure that's not the same rabbit you saw her with last time.
History
BIRTHDAY: APRIL 12TH, YEAR -14
Rosena Holden was never going to leave Darrowshire alive. Born to a family of dairy farmers, she embraced her path and place in the small town universe with a relish and passion for the life. She adored her sewing circle gossip, she happily married a barley tea farmer, and she flourished as a mother to two children. She followed every single prescribed future, never attempting to alter what her life would be as passed down from her parents. Until the day that grain arrived in Darrowshire, Rosena had never done anything irresponsible in her life.
Death, however, was waiting. Her children, notoriously picky eaters and indulged by their mother, escaped that horrible fate by pure chance. When Rosena's older sister Charlottraleia showed up, babbling nonsense about the prince and the dead, it was already too late for Rosena; she would soon die, as her sister fled with Rosena's children, to the south where their father was.
It took time for Rosena to truly come back to herself as a Forsaken. Her devotion to the Dark Lady is as strong and unwavering as many, and she does her duties as a member of the Forsaken and the Horde responsibly, if without the passion of the living. Though she showed no aptitude or inclination for the Light while alive, in death, Rosena has found the ability to wield Shadow, and she does so with ease. When the Crimson Coterie began its recruitment, the Shadow Priestess joined.
Relationships
| Charlottraleia Holden Rosena's older sister. They never saw eye-to-eye while alive, and not only because of the entire foot of height difference between them. In every major opinion, they differed. For a long time, there was resentment that Charlottraleia left Darrowshire the way she did, but eventually, barely a year before her death, Rosena reconciled with her older sister. |
