background.
religion; rosa is the daughter of a pastor so her childhood was Tense
she’s also the younger sibling of twins who were super close growing up so she always felt like a bit of an outsider for as long as she can remember, but they loved her and she loves them even if they're extremely weird about how they show it
she was always a bit of a Harsh child, for no reason really she just didn't know how to interact with kids but there was one (1) kid named sylvie who was rosa’s only friend really and she grew so attached they did??? everything together like they had sleepovers every night they were Obsessed
cancer; rosa literally had no other friends other than sylvie so when she had to leave school because she was diagnosed with leukemia it was devastating for rosa
death; lo n behold sylvie unfortunately passed away……… n it rly messed rosa up she had just always been horrible at letting people in for a long time after that and frankly still struggles w it
missing persons; just when she was doing her best to move on, natalya (one of the twins) goes missing and the whole family was in shambles, rosa for a while was really messed up over it bc it reminded her of losing sylvie again and she didn't know how to function
she eventually sort of forced herself to move on by starting a whole new life - she left to do university in chicago and acted like nothing happened, if ppl were to ever ask her about it or dare to bring up her past while she was trying to move on she'd basically black out
left a lot of ppl behind as she tried to rebrand her life without any sort of explanation too
eventually became a preschool teacher and slowly settled into her new life, even if it meant she still struggled to face her past and to let people in fully
currently.
now that she's in arcadia, rosa has a tendency to bounce between being clingy and pushing people away
she misses her job desperately, so currently she has a few kids she still teaches on a volunteering basis
details.
SUPER keeps to herself rly, she had a decent amount of friends before and would be open to friends in arcadia but nothing crazy and usually has no desire to meet anyone or talk to anyone new, just has trust issues and doesn't want to lose anyone else
hates the idea of intimacy and being intimate with people the vulnerability of it all. freaks her out….. ofc she Has been with ppl whether they were exes or just random hookups she wasnt planning for but its not a common occurrence
religion; mostly struggled w it because of how she was forced into a very religious family and household, she pushed back her sexuality for a long time
can be kinda temperamental and will blow up in someones face
strictly wears long sleeves and pants (mostly overalls) its rare shes in short sleeves and/or shorts even in hot weather
u will RARELY ever catch her in a skirt/dress its just not her thing
was a sports kid in high school (barf)
very dry and barbarically sarcastic humour
connections.
someone who just happens to be from her past - whether that's from new york or chicago (can be platonic or romantic connect) - that are in arcadia
someone she has a crush on but refuses to face it so she bullies them
alternately someone she hasn't bothered with (rude which she can be but mostly bc she's still Shy) but they're crushing on her which she would be Oblivious to
a few friends who managed to weasel their way into her life during her time in arcadia
or ppl she’s rubbed the wrong way/enemies tbh
anyone who has kids that rosa could be teaching rn!!!
frankly???? i am open to anything and everything :-)
questionnaire.
How did your muse spend their first night in Arcadia, and where?
Though she was often emotional to a fault, Rosa felt herself shut down that first night. In shock while simultaneously feeling the familiar panic of grief putting her in a chokehold. She spent the night mostly in disbelief - denial overtaking her as she refused to leave Dilara’s side, needing the tie to home to believe they would return there. Even though a large part of her knew this was her fate now. When Dilara finally corralled them to the clinic, Rosa waited until she was fast asleep before ditching her own cot and sneaking into her friends for a bit of comfort, while their reality washed over her.
Why did your muse choose to live where they do?
Rosa had always been independent, since she was young she loved being alone. It was a comfort instead of being a source of lonesome desperation - but this was different now. She grew so close to Dilara, Rosa would follow her anywhere. Her piece of home that Rosa refused to lose sight of, even if she’d begun to realise going home may no longer be in the picture. As soon as Dilara expressed an interest in seeking a house - because it would never be home - Rosa knew she would merely trail behind her. A shadow without meaning to be. And the town houses really did remind her of the apartment she’d left behind - it gave Rosa a bit of hope that maybe it wouldn’t be all bad.
What was your muse doing when they came across the tree?
As much as Rosa enjoyed her own space, it was coming up on the two year anniversary of her roommate up and leaving her without a word. With their cat, no less. It was just like Rosa to finally allow someone back into her life when she was usually perturbed by emotional intimacy, all for them to make her fall in love with their cat, maybe them a little bit, and leave her behind without another word. Usually when Rosa was going through these emotions, she preferred to deal with them on her own, but it warmed her heart that Dilara reached out to her for dinner. She’d missed her friend, and for the first time in forever, being with someone despite the struggles she was going through actually sounded ideal. So Rosa agreed to dinner - got ready, dressed up a bit. She even made a slightly self-deprecating joke about how ‘dolled up’ she’d gotten for their little friend date while Dilara drove them. And then they saw the tree.
Has your muse left anything behind that they are desperately trying to return to or escape?
Though it took a few days, it shocked Rosa to realise that she’d become so stagnant in her life. There was a desperation to return home - and yet she couldn’t help but constantly pause and wonder why. Mostly, she missed her job. Her young students were her heart and soul - it brought her immense pride to be able to mould the future, especially when she couldn’t have children of her own. And she missed her family. After already losing her sister when she was younger, being without her brother no matter how volatile they could be to each other was an ache that clawed at her stomach until it was raw and split open. Eventually, she realised she feared being forgotten for leading such a pointless life. She wanted to return back home and make something of it - though she couldn’t even begin to think of how she would manage that while still stuck in Arcadia.
