Rosalia Flos

Appearance

Rosalia had not expected to be directly addressed, especially not by the man who had prompted some sort of hazy recollection in the depths of her memories. With little else to go by than the fact his name rang a bell, which she acknowledged could easily be because one of the many soldiers she had met in the passing may have shared a name, she saw little reason to be anything besides pleasant.

The corners of her lips pulled upwards in a smile as a short, polite laugh escaped her. "I suppose it would be naive to believe that the opposing army would have such a hole in their defenses, but as an aerial combatant, I can at least dream that they would be so careless." She couldn't deny that even after all of these years, the very sight of a bow and arrow, even when off the battlefield, was enough to cause the muscles in her arms and shoulders to tense instinctively. Enemy fire wasn't particularly pleasant to deal with in the first place, nevermind when there was the threat of plummeting to the ground at heights where broken bones were among the best case scenarios.

Her voice took on a slightly more light-hearted as she continued, her arms coming u to fold across her chest. "I fear that I will simply have to impose on you to deal with the archers then, Mr...Ansgar," she said, momentarily faltering on his name. There was a beat of pause, and then she cocked her head to the side as her gaze drifted up to focus on the weapon he carried. Perhaps it was the apparent ease and comfort in which he carried the lance, but it led Rosalia to think that he likely had some familiarity with wielding the thing. "Though I have yet to see you in action, I somehow feel that you must be quite capable with your weapon. Have you had any formal training?"

It took me forever to get a post up tonight (and a subpar one at that) but at least I remembered.

Also I think my favourite thing in this OOC is just watching @dabombjk yell and @heckno12 going "shhhh" lmao aklsdjfajshdf True friendship.

Rosalia Flos

Appearance

Truthfully, her choice to approach the growing group had been fueled by curiosity rather than any sort of desire to join them. When the offer to travel together was extended to everyone present, however, Rosalia found herself rather surprised by the apparent openness of everyone present. Despite the fact each individual seemed to hail from a different place and classes, the animosity that she had seen among some of the other milling about seemed absent here. Then again, she thought it silly to hold country-based grudges during a time like this. She wasn't so sure that she could even call herself a knight of Solvnir anymore; the fact that her country didn't exactly exist anymore kind of put a wrench in that.

Although she wasn't completely committed to joining this ragtag band on their quest, Rosalia thought that it wouldn't hurt to introduce herself as many others had. She remained silent as the others gave their names, her gaze politely traveling from one person to the other as she made an effort to commit their names and faces to memory. One of them--Ansgar, he had introduced himself as--gave her pause, but when nothing came up beyond a strange, nagging sensation from somewhere within her mind, she forced herself to move on.

She inclined her head in Troe's direction when he took leave of their group before turning to the others. "Belated though my introduction is, my name is Rosalia Flos. I am--was, I suppose--in service to the Solvnir army." It was better to put that out now than to risk someone finding out and potentially becoming upset later on, she figured.

Rosalia folded her arms behind her back and restlessly shifted her weight from one foot to the other, her gaze jumping between each person present. Again, while not completely set on joining them, she could not deny that the thought of milling about doing nothing about this disaster did not sit well with her. What else would she do with her time if not find a way to discover more about this mysterious threat? The trail she had been following for Anise had gone cold long ago, but perhaps meeting and traveling with new people would somehow lead to a spark. "I am not sure if my services as a pegasus knight will be helpful, but should the extra assistance be desired, I would be willing to lend you all my support."

@Eisenhorn That would work with me! What kind of stories do you think would reach her, exactly? His name for certain, assuming it was reported.

@Heckno12 Ah ha, that would work with me! Makes it interesting they were on opposite sides!

Fire Emblem: Abyss (Open)

@Eisenhorn Defintiely agree with you there! It's interesting to see such different characters coming together.

And for good measure, if anyone wants to plot any sort of pre-established relationship (i.e. our characters fought one another once, were acquaintances/know one another in the passing, etc) please do let me know! That always makes for some fun plotting, and helps bypass some of the typical meet-and-greet.

Rosalia Flos

Appearance

The only outward indication of any distress at the news came in the form of a furrowed brow and the faintest of frowns putting at her lips. Rosalia felt that familiar ache in her chest at the reminder that her home was no more, but the knowledge that her parents had at least managed to flee numbed a pain that otherwise would have been much more intense. Still, her heart ached for the friends who she knew had likely been unable to escape; although her mother and father had been able to use their rank to escape so quickly, the same could not be said for the majority of others.

That was merely one worry off of her chest though. Even if she were to ignore the fact that her younger sister was still unaccounted for, there was…you know, the whole thing about the land presently being under some sort of dire, mysterious threat. Truly, she couldn’t help but note dryly, blinking slowly as her eyes scanned the crowd that surrounded her, There is never any rest for my poor heart.

Her gaze flickered from face to face, taking in the different expressions that each individual wore. None, she noted with no surprise, looked remotely happy at the decree, though a few had a spark in their eyes as they quickly converged with others to whisper about something or the other. If she were to wager a guess, Rosalia would bet that some people were considering that little deal of the King’s. Money was always a powerful motivating factor, and the King obviously knew that it’d sway more than a few people. For a moment she wondered if they were aiming for two birds with one stone—find more information about this “threat” and simultaneously decrease the number of refugees that had suddenly flooded the kingdom by sending them off on a dangerous journey—but she dismissed the thought with a sharp shake of her head.

Rosalia had just been about to turn and leave when she caught a snippet of conversation from the small group of men that had formed just beside her. She hesitated for all of one moment before speaking up, her voice quiet but still audible above the din of voices around them. ”Brave to be considering to undertake such a task,” she murmured, eyes drifting between each of them in turn (and momentarily doing a double-take at the fox), ”Though I will be the first to admit that sitting here and doing nothing will do little to benefit us.”

Moved Rosalia over + will get a post up when I'm home from work!

Fire Emblem: Abyss (Open)

Name: Rosalia Flos
Appearance:

Hider

Age: 23
Gender: Female
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Personality: Although she is a highly warm-hearted and maternal individual, this is not made immediately obvious due to her soft-spoken persona. Rosalia is often described by others as a wallflower; she makes no effort to stand out, but rather than let this bother her, she takes comfort in the fact that people often gloss over her. She carries herself with quiet confidence and addresses others in a polite manner, remaining respectful even when conversing with the foulest of people. Despite taking her role as a knight very seriously, she takes care not to let her sense of morality skew too far into the black or white.

When with close company, Rosalia manages to loosen up and smiles more, revealing the fact that she's not quite as boring and proper as she initially makes herself seem. On the contrary, she has a bad habit of acting like a nagging mother or elder sister, and her sense of propriety goes out of the window: if your shirt is untucked, nothing--not even your social status or gender--will stop her from shoving her hand an inch down the waistband of your pants to tuck it in for you.

Starting Classes: Pegasus Knight

Bio: Originally hailing from Solvnir, Rosalia was born and raised as the eldest child of a noble household. While she was always content to uphold the duties and appearance as expected of her, her only other sibling, a younger sister named Anise, was far more rebellious. Although close, the two sisters had drastically different outlooks on life--Rosalia easily resigned herself to the tethers of her birthright, while Anise had more grandiose dreams of freedom and adventure.

Becoming a knight had never even really been a consideration for Rosalia until the week her sister ran away from home. While her sister's abrupt departure was neither surprising nor harmful in and of itself, word that Anise had been captured by the Rjaskav army had reached the Flos home just days after she had run away. Despite her family's best efforts to discover Anise's whereabouts--and even openly offering to pay should a ransom demand be made--they heard no word of her after that initial message.

Rosalia's distress led her to her first act of rebellion against her parents: joining the knights. As she saw it, it would be easier to search for Anise, or at least discover what had happened to her, if she was right there fighting against the army that had taken her. Her choice in becoming a pegasus knight too had come from a belief that she'd be able to search more easily from the sky, though her decision did result in some weeks of regret when she initially had to tame the unruly beast that was to be her partner.

As it is, Rosalia has yet to find Anise, but continues to search for her even though it's been years since her disappearance. The appearance of the abyss had thrown yet another concern into her ever-growing pile, but she has taken care not to lose sight of her main goal.
