There’s a war going on but the canvas is still a place to breathe 🎨

Something I feel like would be good for tf!Ros as a character is having an arc where she gradually confronts the trauma of losing her family and hometown. Not something that's resolved immediately but something she slowly learns to face throughout her time at the academy. When she saw her dead family in the crypt and faced that part of her past head-on, it felt like an important first step.

I like to think building off of that, tf!Ros could create a place of remembrance for them. Whether it's in Vita Nova, at the human crypt or somewhere where she feels is best for her and build a place where she can leave the flowers her family gave her and fill the area with things that remind her of the life they once shared together. A place that honors not only how they died but how they lived. Because for so long, the corruption has defined her memories of them. A place like this would allow tf!Ros to remember the people they were before tragedy became the last chapter of their story.

It would be even more meaningful if she had someone like tf!Graecie or tf!Juniper (depending on if Juniper even wants to talk to tf!Ros at that point) with her while she makes this space. I feel like this would be a beautiful way for tf!Ros to share a part of her past with someone she trusts while being reminded that she doesn't have to face things alone.

I think a nice way to finish it all would be for tf!Ros to either write a letter for each of her family telling them about the life she's lived since they were gone or have a sign or something with a promise that she won't let the corruption become someone else's burden. It would be a simple but powerful reminder that while she'll always carry the memory of the people and town she lost, she won't remain trapped in the moment she lost them.
