She's not afraid to speak her mind, making her a little brash at times, but she's not the type to compromise being true to herself for the sake of maintaining any sort of perceived pleasantries.She is also a bit of a mischief maker, often getting herself into trouble both accidentally and on purpose, often borne out of a curious desire for adventure.

Teenage Years (1566-1572)

As she reached her teens, Rosaline grew aimless and restless - sneaking out on her own at night, enjoying peace and quiet in the solitude of the forest. She’d always had a curious nature, but was now old enough to start acting on it, exploring every glade and glen she could. Her parents, though unhappy and concerned for her safety, figured that instead of punishing her for this behavior, would instead support her by providing outlets to channel her energy. These outlets came in the form of learning the leatherworking trade, as well as applying to the Archer’s Guild when she turned 12.Rosaline aspired to become a proficient bowman, wanting to prove that she could fit in with the rest of those native to the Twelveswood, to prove she could make something of herself. Though she struggled to pick up the skillset at first, needing to work twice as hard as her peers, she was resolute in putting in the time and effort needed to become a skilled archer. Despite her rough beginnings, she became a valued member of the community, eventually joining the ranks of the God’s Quiver at 16.She also engaged in some very basic training at both the Lancer’s and Conjurer’s Guild. She was able to gain a cursory understanding of both. However, she did not take to lancing, and was an even worse healer.

Young Adulthood (1572-1577)

Though not on the frontlines directly in Mor Dhona, Rosaline provided assistance along the Shroud-Mor Dhona border, aiding in holding back the encroaching Garlean forces.In the aftermath of the Battle of Carteneau, the power of the Echo manifested itself in Rosaline, granting her the ability to see into the souls of others. Rosaline continued to protect the community she so dearly loved under the service of the God’s Quiver. But in her private time, she would begin to seek out members of The Path of the Twelve, having heard whispers that they support those affected with the power of the Echo. Throughout this time, she worked to understand and manage the power of her Echo and the unique way in which it presented itself in Rosaline. While she was ultimately unable to find any individual who can make contact with them, rumors of Rosaline made their way to The Path regardless, eventually leading to her chance meeting with Yda and Papalymo.

Buried Memories

Though she remembers very little from her life before Gridania, with only vague recollections of the family she once had, she has remained vehemently certain about one detail: that she was saved from those cold dark waters by a mermaid - a tale which most who heard her speak of it passed off as the delusions of childhood trauma. Despite growing up in Gridania, and while still showing the utmost reverence to Gridania’s patron deity Nophica, as well as to Oschon - having been born in the third umbral month, she views Llymlaen as her patron due to the history of her miraculous rescue from a watery grave. As she grew older and ventured to locations outside of the Black Shroud, she discovered that the statue in Aleport, which she was told is where she had been found as a child, was a carved depiction of Llymlaen. It was then she would begin to wonder if it could be possible that it was Llymlaen herself whom plucked her from the seas that night. It would not be till many years later, during the events of the Myths of the Realm, when Rosaline would finally learn the truth that she’d held deep down in her heart all along - that Llymlaen had come to her rescue. Guided by Azem’s spirit residing in the young Rosaline, its resonance guided Llymlaen to the drowning child.

Now 27, with many and more adventures, hardships, and victories to add to her life story, Rosaline is a upbeat Miqo'te who is not afraid to speak her mind or stick up for those in need. From her childhood in Gridania to her time with the Scions, she values the importance of found family and knows the strength that these bonds are capable of building. Everyone whom she's met in her time across Eorzea has left a mark on her on one way or another - and she can only hope to help them as best she can in return.She enjoys returning to visit Feo Ul in Il Mheg, eating the best food that Etheirys has to offer, going for late night walks, and performing in the Masked Carnivale alongside her partner, Martyn.Having saved the star once again, Rosaline is currently wrapping up her Tullioyal vacation, the Star once again in need of its savior, and she cannot turn a blind eye to its call.

Rosaline and Elidibus

Rosaline was never one to shy away from her feelings, but when this fact crossed over with her penchant for trouble, she entwined herself in a situation that had her biting off more than she could chew.When the Ascians began making themselves known to the Scions, Rosaline had felt that Elidibus had kept particularly sharp eyes on her. Rosaline assumed that this was mostly due to her possession of the Echo, thus making her one of very few people whom could sense his presence. And often did he make his presence known, appearing before Rosaline frequently as neither friend nor foe, more often a nuisance to her, though they were not all without incident. Despite this, Rosaline couldn’t help but notice an underlying fire that marked their interactions, and begins finding herself confusingly yet inexplicably drawn to him. Not before long, the two begin a complicated and illicit relationship, a relationship built on lies and deceit and manipulation. Elidibus would drift in and out of Rosaline’s during this time together, with her never really knowing when or where to expect to see him again. And when they did meet, it was always brief, nearly wordless, yet passionate all the same. Though the longer time went on, the more infrequent they became, forcing Rosaline to push it from her mind as best she could.Until, of course, that fateful day in the First atop the Crystal Tower, when Rosaline and Elidibus would face their biggest, and final, clash.When Rosaline had once again thought she would be able to put this behind her, she would find herself swept up in events that would have her face both her near and distant past. All the pain, sadness, and heartache came rising to the surface when she learned that, in a time when she was once Azem, she and Elidibus, rather, Themis, had shared and deep and undying love for each other. She understood now, that pull she felt towards him for so long, and one he must have felt too, despite his memories of those times long forgotten. That two individuals who had no business involving themselves with each other as they had, was the ghost of a romance that had persisted through many millennia and lifetimes.Although her time spent in Pandaemonium aiding Themis and Erichthonios helped to heal some wounds and provide closure, the wounds from this experience would be something that would never fully heal. There would always be a part of her heart that still belonged to him, and him with her.

Rosaline and Urianger

What started off as a schoolgirl crush, a bright-eyed Rosaline freshly welcomed into the halls of the Waking Sands, slowly but surely blossomed into genuine feelings for fellow Scion, Urianger. Though the feeling was mutual, Rosaline kept a distance, always needing to be focused on the next task - not to mention the fact that she respected Moenbryda too much to interfere in the woman’s relationship with Urianger. With her passing, matters only became more complex, and Rosaline thought it best to put her feelings for the man to rest.Upon their reunion in the First, however, everything they had both buried came bubbling quickly back up to the surface. After dancing around their feelings for a time still, they made their intentions clear after Rosaline brought the shimmering night sky back to Il Mheg. Unfortunately, theirs would be a short-lived romance, once Urianger’s deceit came to light. While Rosaline was able to forgive him and move on, things would never be the same between them. Though Urainger attempted to make amends to Rosaline for the part that he played, working tirelessly to heal the damage done to her from the light poisoning she was subjected to, he inevitably accepted his heartbreak.

Rosaline and Martyn

When a strung-out Yellowjacket enlisted Rosaline’s help in Limsa, never would she have imagined it would change the entire trajectory of hers - and Martyn’s - life for good.The initial request Rosaline had been presented with was to assist in securing the arrest of a man whose claims regarding blue magic were nothing but a face. Yet mere hours later, Rosaline found herself taking a blue soul crystal in hand and began training in the ways of blue magic under one Martyn Goodfellow’s tutelage, acting as living proof of the authenticity of said magic, as a means of ensuring he didn’t end up thrown into the gaols for his fraudulent methods of bestowing this magic onto the masses. Her disdain for the situation was clear, having been roped into matters against her will, as was Martyn’s reluctance to take on an apprentice. All until, that is, Royse stepped in and the Masked Carnivale came to life. Through the time spent with each other, with Rosaline learning not just spells, but more and more about Martyn himself, her contempt slowly but surely grows to admiration, and adoration, as she develops a fondness for the mage. And after watching Martyn nearly kill himself in his match against Siegfried, her feelings became impossible to deny any further. Little does she know that those feelings are not one-sided, as Martyn too had been quietly harboring feelings for the woman he now found at his side. But a confession would not come so easily. Martyn was convinced that Rosaline was not only out of his league, but that she also remained at the Guild out of obligation rather than personal desire. Rosaline, on the other hand, felt that Martyn only saw her as his apprentice, as a means for promoting blue magic, and with her mounting responsibilities as Warrior of Light, that the idea of love or romance was not something she had the time or space for.The two would pine for each other for some time as they continued their relationship as teacher and apprentice, bottling their feelings away. Despite the fact that it was damn near completely obvious to anyone involved with the Blue Mages’ Guild. P’yandih would be their biggest cheerleader, often pressing them both - without the other’s knowledge - about confessing their feelings to each other. She urged Rosaline especially to talk to Martyn, knowing she would have better luck getting through to Rose than she would Martyn, stating that it’ll simply eat her alive otherwise. Taking her student’s advice, Rosaline plucks up the courage to invite Martyn out for an evening together, masked as a victory celebration for their triumph against Gogo. Despite mishaps over the course of the evening, the two would finally, finally, make their feelings known. Neither did they hesitate to make up for lost time, the two spending a long night together in Kugane after Rosaline’s tearful confession.All the while Martyn remained blissfully unaware of Rosaline's true nature as the Warrior of Light. It would not be until saving the star from utter calamity that Martyn would come to know about the other side of Rosaline.

Never would you have met a more pesky and meddlesome troublemaker than Rhodos. But neither would you have encountered a more kind, outgoing, and selfless individual as them, either.A holder of the Seat of Azem within the Convocation of Fourteen, Rhodos specialized in healing magicks, providing aid to any and all in need. Not just of body, but of mind as well. They wanted others to feel seen and heard, and were always willing to lend an ear to those who asked. It was their greatest joy to travel the stars and to have the opportunity to mend both hearts and minds as they learned more about the cultures and peoples of Etheirys.Rhodos was well-known amongst their fellows, but whether that was for better or worse depended on whom you were asking. Rhodos’ sweet and composed demeanor belied a trickster nature, often aiming to get a rise out of their fellow convocation members - especially if it meant pushing Hades’ buttons. On the whole, they were quite fascinated with the work of their associates, and could be often seen beleaguering them with many a question at all hours of the day in order to sate their curiosity. It is with this curiosity that, with the aid of Halmarut, they submitted the concept of the rose to Hythlodaeus, to whom he could never say no to.When not upholding their duties, Rhodos could be found spending the remainder of their free time with Themis. On the surface, it looked to many as though none more opposite could be in love, but in truth these opposites balanced each other out perfectly - Themis keeping a flighty Rhodos from metaphorically, perhaps sometimes even physically, floating off into the atmosphere, and Rhodos ensuring that Themis did not always wear such a stern and serious face at all times. Their affection for one another went down to their very cores - souls resonating together, hearts beating as one.It was for these same reasons, however, that Rhodos opposed the Convocation’s plan to sacrifice half their peoples, with Themis to be made the core of Zodiark’s heart. The two would not see eye-to-eye on the matter, causing Rhodos to vacate their seat on the convocation, too great a pain to face that in the end, his heart did not belong to them after all.Despite this heartache, the bond they had shared with each other had proven to be strong enough to endure millenia, guiding them back together not once, but twice - when Rosaline would find herself in a forbidden affair with Elidibus, and again when brought to the past to provide aid as his prophesized “guiding star”.
