Personality: Rose is wandering soul with little attachment to the world. She is never content at staying in one place for long or being around the same people for long.

Making her way into taverns she can be seen chatting with the locals, gambling, and drinking.
Rose is a good social chameleon. She can quickly observe the behaviors of a group and then act appropriately within that group. She is so good at acting, she is rarely called out as a faker. The fact she can fool people so easily make her look down on those around her. She both admires and treats those as equals who are not so easily fooled by her. She wanders alone most of the time because she feels that is the only time she can truly be herself.

- World Lore (Master): Everything that can be read in a book from History to Philosophy, from medicine to metallurgy, from mythology to farming. This of course includes occult writings on magic. All this is just knowledge not practical experience.
- Silver Tongue (Master): Nothing like a silvery snakelike tongue to get one out of a bad situation. It is also useful to make a unreasonable sale seem reasonable
- Pistol Marksmanship (Expert): This is her primary means to defend herself. She can shoot a pistol with ease and can maintain the pistol. She even carries the equipment in her pack to smelt more pistol balls. She still needs to master mixing the gunpowder so she mainly uses what she can buy.
- Wilderness Survival (Journeyman): Rose is well versed in how to survive in the wild lands. She knows how to make makeshift shelters and how to start a fire without matches. She also knows how to hunt small game and which berries and mushrooms are edible.
- Dagger play (Journeyman): Rose can use any knife or dagger to defend herself when she has to fight too close for pistols. She usually hides a dagger in her boot or up her sleeves.
- General magic (Novice): Rose reads and reads and reads. it is her favorite way to pass the time. Among her readings on her travels, she has come across a few obscure books and scrolls depicting how to use magic. She has attempted in vain to implement magic and make it work. However, while knowing the basics she has not figured out the fundamental understanding behind how to make it work. She knows how to create magic circles, chant spells, and even read tarot cards. She uses magic now as a side show, parlor tricks, and sleight of hand. She would love to know how to finally cast a fireball or make plants grow unnaturally fast.
A listing of favorite or unique spells, if any. Maximum of four.
Parents: Rose's mother was named Rachel Victoria Hargrove. She died in childbirth giving birth to Rose. Rose's father is Marcus Andrew Hargrove. He is still living and is head of a monopoly on coal production in and around the town of Vale. He is quite wealthy and quite enterprising. Rose is not in good relations with her father.
Siblings: Rose has one older brother about 6 years older than her. His name is Robert Douglas Hargrove. He is apprenticing and ready to take over the company when their father steps down.
Childhood: Rose had a sheltered upbringing. She was raised in her families walled off manor. She could spend a lot of time either in the garden or in the family library. She was raised mainly by servants and was home schooled by a hired teacher. Rose's father was often away on business and was rarely not working. The only time Rose truly had to interact with her father was at dinner time. Overall she had a cold upbringing which forced her to escape into books and stories. She interacted more with her brother than her father but upon him entering his teens, he was sent to study in a boarding school. Rose was alone except for the servants.
Adulthood: When Rose was 17, she took her life into her own hands. Sneaking out one night while her father was away in town, she fled the manor with only what she could carry on her back. Assuming her book smarts could carry her far and her own wits would carry her the rest of the way. She avoided any one who might turn her in and never looked back. She does worry about her father and brother but she felt she was never wanted or needed. That was enough to justify her abandoning her station.
Special Moments: Rose remembers constantly her childhood, the confinement of being stuck in that manor, and how it felt like a gilded prison. She remembers it as a cold, lonely place where the world ended at the walls of the manor. She never wants to be caught again. Stuck in a place where she is not free to wander, to explore, and dependent on other's written stories to experience.
Rose's second life defining moment was when she met a man who showed great intelligence and Cunning. He taught her how to survive and how to use a firearm. She fell head over heels for him. Rose traveled with this man for about a year before he proposed marriage. However, he had to break some ties in the township. Rose was to meet him outside the town in the morning and they would elope together. However, Rose's lover never showed. Instead, Rose was ambushed. As she was surrounded, one of her three assailants confessed that she had been sold out by her lover to a criminal gang to settle a debt. Rose shot the man dead with her pistol and took off running never to look back.
Current Events: Rose is forever wandering town to town, tavern to tavern. She makes a living as a traveling street peddler and story teller.
