History: Rosalie was the daughter of a group of travellers, and was born in 1876. They travelled around the USA a lot, and her parents were never shy about their witch heritage. They taught their children to be proud of what they believed in, to be generous and to treat others how you wanted to be treated. Rosalie adapted to this way of life with ease, while some of her siblings found it difficult. While travelling around with her family she saw many different people and many ways of life, and soon learnt not to judge a book by its cover.

At the age of 21, she lost her parents and eldest brother to witch hunters. From then on the family split up, keeping in touch occasionally and going their own ways. As one of the middle children, Rosalie acted as a bridge between the eldest and the youngest. She would stay in one place in America for decades at a time, while her siblings moved about frequently. During her life Rosalie has fallen in and out of love frequently, and has a large amount of children with male witches. She has a good relationship with most of the fathers, especially those she had a relationship with in her later years. Rosalie also joined Circle Selene not long after her parents died, and has now been the Crone for 20 years, doing her part to help others as they once helped her.

Appearance: At the grand old age of 130, Rosalie is only beginning to look like a woman in her late forties or a very good looking 50 year old. The years have been kind on her body, despite the amount of children her hips have had to bear. She seems to hold that motherly low all the time, and always seems to be in good spirits. Rosalie is a very natural woman, rarely using make-up and her hair is still the same golden brown as it was a 100 years ago. Despite being the Crone, and being quite a bit older than the rest of her Circle, you won't find this woman in flowing, form-hiding garments. She is proud of her figure, and while she won't be seen in leather or pvc, she will wear quite modern clothes.

Personality: She is the epitome of her Circle, in so many ways. A true loving mother, she does tend to treat her Circle like her own children and loves them all for who they are. Rosalie does not judge, and many people find it easy to talk to her. At the same time, she is aware of herself and will be firm, but clear if someone oversteps their line. Most of the time though; nothing is too big or small for her, and she is the one who always remembers everyones birthday and organises the suprise parties.

She's still as fun loving as the rest though, she strides through life with ease, handling each problem as it comes along. Despite being a mother, and the Crone, she is not ancient in her ways and definately does not like being considered old! Rosalie easily adapts herself to the changes of life and society, and helps others to do the same. She's a teacher as well, helping anyone with any magical problem or finding someone more specialised to help out. She can easily persuade people to help others out, even if it does result in a groan from them.

Talents: Rosalie's magic lies personally in the element earth, like her Mother's and a few of her siblings. It is this inheritance that gives Rosalie the edge, and also helps her to teach the other members of her Circle due to personal experience. Her control over the earth and plants is impressive, and she uses her powers to work with the plants rather than against them. She is also one of the few who has the ability to call plants to her aid, and in doing this she will only call the plants that come willingly. Rosalie can use Circle's power of touch to slip into trances and relive the events that have unfolded in the area around her. After performing such magic is the only time when members of her Circle will see her truly weak.She can also pick up visions from smaller parts of nature such as stones, plants, wood and fossils.

It took Rosalie decades to get to where she is with manipulating the weather, and you have to admire her determination. She can still only manage small manipulations such as increasing the wind speed or provoking the rain to be released early. Crystals are what helped Rosalie become better with her weather skills by helping her to focus, and she can be considered a walking encyclopedia of crystals and their uses. As Crone, she has a lot of other magical experience (although some she has no talent with at all) and is good with rituals and circles.

Rosalie's non-magical life consists of two categories; her family and managing Avatar, a magic shop in LA. Her managerial and people skills are brilliant, and she is always there to offer a helping had to customers; even humans. She uses her personal experience to help others with their craft, offering advice for physical or emotional ailments.

With a family as large as hers, she has become a good mediator and her patience has quickly become endless. Even now her children are old enough to fend for themselves, Rosalie finds herself in the middle of arguments or offering advice. Dealing with some of their fathers is not always easy, while some are still true friends and Rosalie deals with each situation as it comes to her.
