eye colour; Blue
hair colour; Red
height; 5'6"
other physical traits; Rose is quite small, and has always been quite small. Her figure is slender to the point where she's pretty bony and sickly looking. Her pale skin is paper thin and the veins are clearly visible which can look quite eerie at times. She has an oval shaped face, an elegantly sculpted brow and cheek bones and quite full lips. She's pretty, but in a frail breakable sort of way, like a porcelain doll.
Despite the fact that Rose has long since out grown her elitest pure blood upbringing, she tends to look after her appearance well, even now. She's nearly always meticulously well groomed, and if she isn't then she tends to feel like a disgrace or something of the sort.
clothing style; She sticks to wearing simple clothes most of the time. She does dress according to her mood, but she never really wears anything brightly coloured or outlandish, and always prefers to blend into the background.
Usually, she'll wear jeans with some sort of smock or plain loose fitting t-shirt. It's very rare for her to wear anything fitted, because much as she's not excessively self-conscious about her body, she'd still rather not show it off. Also, if you catch her in a jacket, it's unlikely to be hers. It's a sort of comfort thing...but she always tends to wear other peoples jackets rather than her own.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
Rose is perhaps the politest person you'll ever meet. Soft-spoken and ladylike, her manners are ingrained into her behavioural patterns and it takes an awful lot for her to snap and go against her nature to be rude or spiteful. Maternal and very caring, she likes to look after other people as it gives her purpose and keeps her busy. She's selfless and puts other people before herself in most or all situations, unless there is a very good reason why she can't. She's also very intelligent and is quite a rational woman who tends to think things through before she acts or speaks.
flaws;
Being notoriously uptight, she rarely loosens up completely and if she does she'll feel extraordinarily guilty afterwards. She feels guilty about most things, even if they're not her fault and/or she has nothing to do with them. Very shy, she doesn't talk to or befriend other people easily and her clipped polite way of speaking can put people off bothering to try and talk to her again. That's why most of her friends are the outgoing sort, because they're extroverted enough to be able to reach her. She has a lot of pity, both for herself and other people, which can drive other people mad. She's very meek. Her upbringing taught her that women with opinions never got very far, and although she's mostly broken away from all of the lessons taught to her in childhood, she doesn't often voice her thoughts and is thorougly unassertive. She wouldn't stick up for herself, and will let other people walk all over her without complaint.
habits;
Rose has a various array of nervous or anxious little tics. She bites her lip, plays with her hands, twists her hair around her finger...anything. She doesn't exactly fidget, but she does all of these repetitively and doesn't even notice that she's doing it. And it's not just when she's anxious, she tends to do it most of the time when she's talking to someone else.
She's also sort of optimistically pessimistic, and while she tends to be optimistic in the things she says, she has an adamantly gloomy way of looking at things and thinks that nothing good comes in life without a catch.
She tends to smile weakly and then avert her eyes a lot, and has a hard time keeping eye contact for longer than a few seconds. She also flinches fairly often and for little or no reason.

place of birth; London
date of birth; January 1st
brief history; She's by far the most mature of her siblings, so from a young age she took on the responsibility of looking out for them. She's always enjoyed that though, and it makes her feel like she's of some use. She always loved her family dearly when she was growing up, even though she didn't share the elitist pure blood views of her parents and her younger sister. She desperately tried to keep her family together when her brother started to become heavily involved with Order work and there were a lot of arguments at home until eventually Jonathon was disowned. Rose was the only one that continued to talk to him, and kept it from her parents for a long while after that.
When she attended Hogwarts, she wasn't widely accepted in her house. She befriended a lot of people in different houses and only had perhaps one close friend in her own house. She fell in love with one of her best friends somewhere along the line in her school years, which caused her insurmountable pain as she was convinced that the feeling wasn't mutual, so when she graduated Hogwarts, she left without saying goodbye to anyone to travel for a year or so.
On her return her parents told her she was scheduled for an arranged marriage. She was deeply upset by this, but went along with it because she didn't want to upset her parents.She started to see her old friends again, and it was at this point that she realised she'd do anything to not go through with her parents plans for her. Her relationship with Jack was tentative, bordering on the very edges of friendship and romanticism, but before anything could happen, he was murdered by Death Eaters. Devastated, Rose drew in on herself even more becoming not just shy but dangerously introverted.
After she suffered the consecutive deaths of a further few friends, she decided she'd had enough, left home and all of her parents plans behind her and moved in with her older brother.
She spent a long time with him, battling against the depression that her first brush with the war had left her with. That was until Jack turned up on the doorstep. They don't speak of the time he spent dead. After a few months together, and after her brother was reported dead, Rose joined the Order.
She didn't really get to do much Order work, because very soon afterwards she fell pregnant and consequently got engaged, and Jon turned up in the mental ward of St Mungo's. She spent most of her pregnancy taking care of Jon, and rarely got to see Jack due to the time he spent working. They were married when she was five months gone, and their son was born nearly a month early but healthy, and named after Jack's cousin and one of their best friends. Seven years later, they had their daughter, who was named for Jack's mother. In the wake of giving birth for the second time, Rose fell very sick for a very long time and missed most of her daughters infancy due to her frail disposition, but has since recovered and is perhaps more determined than ever to be a good mother.
