Rosalind was not one who often spent time at The Mocking Bird, but being back in Lennox had certainly stirred up a lot of familiar emotions that she had certainly not missed. Looking out upon the faces who were in the same place she found herself only a couple of years ago, she wanted to be the best she could for them. It was certainly getting harder, the longer she used her element. How could it be that such a gift guaranteed such a grim fate?

The Moroi downed a shot before turning, realizing someone else had taken a seat next to her. The stool had been bare for the past half an hour since she had arrived, so it took her by surprise. Regardless, she knew it would be polite to address them.

“Rough night?” She spoke with a raised eyebrow. There was no judgement in her face, merely understanding. Rosalind knew she never needed sympathy and maybe this individual didn’t either.

TRIGGER WARNING: mental health (anxiety and depression), self hate.

[ AJA NAOMI KING, THIRTY-ONE, CISFEMALE ]. who is that on campus? oh, it’s just the new professor [ PRINCESS ROSALIND WHITE ]. [ SHE ] is/are originally from [ MANHATTAN, NEW YORK ] and they’re teaching the [ BASIC ELEMENTAL CONTROL ] classes around here. apparently they’re also a/an [ MOROI ]. they remind me of [ A VOICE THAT COMMANDS YOU TO LISTEN AT ALL TIMES, WALLS LINED WITH BOOKS, PRICELESS GEMS GLISTENING AROUND HER NECK AND A MIND LIKE AN ENDLESS MAZE. ]

The eldest child of the White line. A life that all assume is destined for greatness, but one that leads to more pain than anyone could know. When all eyes are on you, failure is never an option and this was something young Rosalind took a little too seriously.

Even before she knew the influence her family had, Rosalind noticed the stares. The whispers. Everyone around her wanted something from her and held her at a high expectation that she didn’t know if she could achieve.

This caused her to protect herself however she could. Distancing herself from others, finding solace in loneliness. More than anything, she feared being an abomination and a disappointment to her mother - who could not have been better to her.

Of course she knew that her mother never expected to be queen. Regardless, she wanted to support her however she could. Perhaps this fueled her desire to avoid deviation from the norm as much as possible.

Her relationship with her father is much different than that of her mother. Rosalind certainly feels that she can confide in her mother a lot more and feels understood by her.

Her talents with the element of spirit came as quite the surprise to her mother - once again fueling the desire for her to be the best at everything.

The voices in her head began to show their effects on the young woman when she was fourteen. Her breakdown was something that the royal family tried to keep as quiet as possible, sheltering her for a couple of years. She was diagnosed with anxiety and depression and carefully monitored.

Rosalind carries a burning hatred inside for both herself and the title she carries. She wonders frequently if she would be happier living a normal life, without so much pressure on her back. Of course she would never show it, but instead continues to observe the rules as closely as she can.

Of course, the conversations happened about her future. Her marriage. However, Rosalind knew from a very early age that she could never marry a man. Instead, she found herself desiring to spend the rest of her life with a woman. She came out as a lesbian shortly before she reached adulthood, and has been living happily as such ever since.

Her element, of course, was something Sorina wanted overseen by the best of the best. Because of this, she ended up attending Acadia Academy between the ages of twenty-four and twenty-eight.

Her relationship with her guardian is very cordial. While some craved the independence of a lack of guardianship, Rosalind didn’t mind her protection. As previously mentioned, she is the child every royal parent would want and the ward that every guardian would dream of considering she actually allows them to do their job. It’s not that she’s easy to control, she just wants to be respectful of the traditions of the Moroi. Her guardian encourages her to get outside of her shell and experience a bit more, all while keeping her safe. Protecting her is a huge responsibility and Ros makes it known ( WANTED CONNECTION ).

Joining the staff of Acadia was her mother’s idea - perhaps intending for her daughter to be her eyes on the success of the Academy when she could not be. The queen only wanted the best for the royal families and no one knew her standards better than her eldest daughter.

Her obedience may put her at odds with her siblings - but she could not care less. Their titles, specifically hers comes with a lot of influence. It’s not just about her, but there are people watching. Some might say that she cares about more about protecting the crown than her own family, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. It all ties back to her fear of disappointing those around her.

She keeps a very small circle, observant about their intentions and what they could possibly do to damage their reputation. She’s realized lately, however that this has pushed many people away that could have a good influence on her life.

Rosalind is a very stern professor. She expects work to be turned in on time at all costs. With the attack, however, she has certainly found herself easing up but not by much. She’ll get there eventually.

She has also never been in love before - filling her life with meaningless flings that she’s kept very secretive from the public. Well, maybe she has once. This person would definitely have had to deal with Rosalind’s desire to sneak around - keeping their relationship a secret from the public. To this day, no one probably knows they were even together. It’s not that she’s not proud of the love they shared, she just prefers to live a very private life ( WANTED CONNECTION ).

She also kept in contact with one close friend, who she considers to almost be like an advisor. There is no one else that she trusts more in her life and while the princess would never admit it, she would be a lot more undone without her ( CONNECTION FILLED BY MOLLIE BRIXTON ).

She does not know nor care how her students perceive her. Being perceived by others is something that she’s quite used to at this point.

Kind of a hermit - living in a very fancy penthouse that’s decorated with very expensive furniture that doesn’t really feel like her. Subconsciously, she wants nothing more than to escape and travel far, far away from the boarders of Lennox.

When she made the decision to return to the Academy - she was asked to teach Basic Elemental Control due to the ease at which she picked up her element. Those around her are mystified by the grace at which she mastered spirit, but little do they know her element just might one day be the cause of her undoing…

Ever since she was young, Rosalind had taught herself to be wary of the other Moroi royals. Not because they were bad people, but simply because it was the White family that held the crown and not them. While some of the other royal individuals she had cordial interactions with, there were some clear contenders who were noticeably power hungry. There was Prince Wulfric of course, who as much as he tried to hide it -- wasn’t doing a very good job at keeping it a secret. He must have forgotten that spirit users could read auras and his didn’t tell her anything good. 

Prince Reuben Garcia was certainly one she remained to have a neutral opinion about. In her years at the Academy, his face was one she had seen rather constantly. Being his TA for the years she had proved to be quite the sizable task, but as she always had — she proved to be quite the formidable opponent to him. Something in him proved to be different since her return and it hadn’t taken her long to put the pieces together: a woman. In so many cases.. it was always a woman.

“Prince Garcia.” She addressed him as she turned the corner of his office. “It’s been some time since I’ve had to ask.. but you wanted to see me?”
