Simply put, Rosie is in the very middle of the high school pecking order: not too unpopular, but not too popular either. This, coupled with her shy side, keeps her from becoming too much of a hot topic at Beverly Hills High. Her comfortably small group of friends would at first describe her as "cute" before going on to point out her ever-cheerful nature and willingness to listen to problems as proof of her kind heart, and her teachers know her as a studious, if not particularly gifted, student that often stays behind to clean up after science and art classes. Her mother and father would probably note that, while a quiet girl in all, she is unfailingly positive and loves to give others the treats she so often bakes. In all, she's a quiet, helpful, if occasionally insecure teenage girl who's just trying to make everyone happy.
Although bullied during her middle school years, Rosie has bounced back tremendously since starting school at Beverly Hills High. The shy girl who cried in the bathrooms during recess has grown up into a somewhat shy but sweet teenager who has taken her experiences to heart and makes sure to spread positivity whenever she can. After meeting the Misfits at Santa Monica in her second year, she's been baking pies and hanging out with them whenever possible, in hopes of making friends that will last.
Which brings us to the heart of the matterโRosie is a girl who desperately wants to be loved. Starved of friendship in the past, she over-compensates by trying to be as sweet as possible, with mixed results. Although naturally somebody who wants to spread love and positivity, behind that smile Rosie is just wants to be wanted. Sometimes this causes people to take advantage of her, and sometimes it's herself who bends backward to fulfill your every need; either way, it can come off as "trying too hard" when she's really just trying her best. Her insecurities regarding herself, her social standing, and even her mood can make her feel like she's not pretty, popular, or happy enough to have friends, so she is sensitive to how others see her and puts a lot of thought into how she dresses and acts.

Rosie is a bit chubby, but hopefully it's cute rather than off-putting. She's also very meticulous about her makeup and could probably help you with yours, if you asked. Very fond of the color yellow.

Her pink, sparkly, amazingly durable bunny-patterned watch that her grandma gave her on her 16th birthday. It's adorable and she loves it to pieces.

Not so much a dilemma than a issue she's been wrestling with since middle school, but Rosie has always been insecure about herself and her body. It's just that now, she shows it differently, opting to work as hard as possible to be loved rather than feel hopeless. But it's still hard for her sometimes.

Nothing really. Rosie is rather accommodating; she doesn't snap easily and would rather cry than yell. But, be warned, she can jump to conclusions when she feels like somebody is avoiding her, even if they're just naturally standoffish.

โ Baking โ Something she learned from her grandmother, Rosie has a passion for baking pies, cakes, cookies, and basically anything sweet.
โ Drawing โ While not a dedicated artist by any means, she enjoys doodling and has a penchant for drawing flowers.
โ Makeup โ One of the things she thinks she's alright at. It's kind of fun to see how much you can change your face with just a few tools.
โ Daydreaming โ Usually about food, or what she would do if she has lots of friends, etc.
โ Gardening โ Rosie grows herbs for flavoring, flowers because they look pretty, and the occasional healthy vegetable in her window box.

To open her own bakery, maybe? In the short term, she just wants to make some friends, lose some weight, and make people happy.

Jonathan Benjamin Parks โ Rosie's father. Works at a local post office as a mailman.
Gemma Juniper Parks โ Rosie's mother. A stay-at-home mom who loves her daughter dearly.
Clover "Marigold" Kelly โ Rosie's maternal grandmother, who lives with the family and picked the name "Rosemary" for Rosie. Always dreamed of opening her own bakery but is too old to do so anymore.

The only child of a fairly "normal" family, Rosie grew up happy, surrounded by her doting parents and equally-as-doting grandmother, who moved in with them soon after Rosie was born. Her parents only wanted the best for her, but it was Grandma Marigold who started teaching Rosie thingsโhow to cook, how to sew, and, eventually, how to bake, a love that was passed down from grandmother to daughter not longer after their first lesson. At home, Rosie was Rosemary, apprentice baker, and her life was sweet like the buttercream icing on top of her carrot cupcakes.
Unfortunately, this happiness would not last, for when Rosie reached middle school, the harmless teasing began to culminate into flat-out bullying, something that would damage Rosie's self-esteem forever. It was then that she grew apart from her grandmother, spending less time in the kitchen and more time in front of the mirror, or locked away in her bedroom. Thankfully, when Rosie graduated, the bullying stopped, and better yet, she made some friends in the form of the Misfits in her second year. Her grandmother and parents are overjoyed and Rosie feels like life is finally returning to normal; what comes after graduation isn't too much of a worry for her, since her parents are so supportive. She's more worried about how life will go now that the friends she's so carefully tried to befriend are leaving herโthe idea of having to start all over is terrifying to her.
Which is why this roadtrip appeals to her. It's the last time she'll see everyone.
