Name: Rosalie Mulligan
Door: Right - We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things.

Canon: Original
Canon Point: Just after Rosalie narrowly escapes a fairly brutal fight with a gang of demons, having successfully saved the heir to a royal faerie family from dying and setting off another trigger to Lucifer's freedom.

Age: Appears 28, is actually 123 years old.
Appearance: Here. Rosalie also has various scars, bruises, and other leftover remnants from her various drug use, battles and fights she's been in, and various other adventures. She also has a tattoo of a stag, with roses entwined with its horns, on her right shoulder.

History:

  • World: An urban fantasy setting similar to our reality except that the supernatural, paranormal, fantastical, mythological, etc. are all real. If there’s folklore, stories, or legends about it, it probably exists. Even unicorns. (Sadly mostly extinct now, but there are some still out there, or so rumor has it.) Pantheons of every religion struggle and vie for power; some more successful than others.

    Magic is accessible to everyone; anyone can perform an exorcism, banishing spell, summoning spell, etc. Vendors sell charms and other magical artifacts constantly. Some spells are more intricate than others and some require more than people are willing to pay; blood, souls, etc. That being said, the most powerful forms of magic are only accessible to born witches and faeries; other species also have their own kinds of magic inaccessible to regular humans - angels, werewolves, vampires, etc. One of Rosalie’s abilities is that she can shapeshift into an owl.

    Rosalie is fighting a war, as demons are trying to start the Apocalypse by freeing Lucifer from the depths of Hell. To do so, they have to eliminate specific family lines within each supernatural species in order to unlock the binding spell imprisoning the Devil. However, they are not subtle and they do not care for anything other than their own mission; they will slaughter anything in order to accomplish their goal and/or whoever gets in their way. Rosalie has proven enough of a thorn in Hell’s side that she has more than earned a spot up near the top of their hit list; one of the various reasons she never stays in one place too long.

  • Relationships: Oldest child of the Baker family, a wealthy and established family settled in Boston, Massachusetts with a vacation home up in the wilds of New Hampshire. Louise Baker and Norman Baker were her parents, and she had two younger siblings: Charlotte Grace, 18, and Hamish Jacob, 12, as of the year of their deaths. In 1920, at the age of twenty three, she was married to Henry Mulligan, 30, before she murdered her family in a frenzy of bloodlust after being turned. Miraculously, her daughter, Dorothy, at the tender age of 5, survived. Rosalie, in order to further protect her daughter, takes her to an orphanage.

    Dorothy grows up to hunt/fight against everything that goes bump in the night, given her traumatic childhood experiences and the fact that she was adopted by a family whose ancestry studied under the tutelage of Abraham Van Helsing himself. Rosalie and Dorothy have several confrontations that wind up nearly getting the both of them killed; Rosalie saves a twenty-year-old Dorothy from a particularly vicious demon one night, which bonds them together and enables them to reconnect. Though they never have a traditional mother-daughter relationship, Dorothy is the reason Rosalie is able to straighten herself out; she’s the reason Rosalie fights so hard to try and make the world a better place and/or keep it from ending.

    Over her many years, Rosalie keeps an eye on Dorothy’s descendants. She helps out where she can, as a kind of mentor/resource to the supernatural side of life.

    Rosalie has especially taken in an interest in her great great granddaughter (Dorothy’s great granddaughter), Eloise, when she got bitten and turned into a werewolf at the age of 19.

    Though not related by blood in the slightest, Rosalie considers Clara, an angel she met and slept with in the 1960s, a member of her family; though circumstances (read: the ongoing war against demons) tend to keep them apart, they’ve always met up when they can over the years, and they keep up with correspondence constantly. (Turns out Heaven actually has amazing Wi-Fi/data coverage.) Rosalie won’t admit it, even to herself, but she’s a little bit in love with Clara.

  • Background: Rosalie was raised in a strict, religious household, spending her life trying to adhere to her family’s rules and please her loved ones. Essentially a nun in training, Rosalie grew up sheltered with only her governess, tutors, and children of her parents’ friends for company. She went where she was told to go; avoided speaking to whoever her parents found unworthy. Hell, she married Henry because her parents all but picked him out for her, throwing the pair of them together throughout the years for this very purpose.

    Yet the marriage wound up working out in the end; Henry turned out to be a good friend, even if Rosalie never truly loved him beyond friendship. The same, as it turns out, for Henry; they grew close; close enough that Henry entrusted her with his greatest secret in the wake of conceiving their only child: that he much preferred the company of men. While this revelation shocked her greatly, Rosalie could never bring herself to betray Henry; she kept his last name after his death as both a means to pay tribute to him and to remind herself of what she’s lost. This conversation is one of the many turning points of her life, opening her eyes up to the ways of the rest of the world outside of her family’s cloistered privilege. And, later in life, this moment helped to open Rosalie’s eyes up to her own sexuality.

    Quiet and shy by nature, Rosalie buried herself in her schoolwork, books, needlework, and other activities deemed appropriate for a lady of her station by her mother. Despite the loneliness, Rosalie found joy wherever she could, whether in walks around the family estate or in attending church with her family.

    Nonetheless, even a quiet girl like Rosalie has plenty of cracks beneath the veneer of her virtues. Her family would argue her curiosity as her greatest flaw/sin, but even Rosalie has some pride; she has always valued her own intelligence and capability for critical thinking, even in spite of her family’s wants. But that same pride can also come back to bite her in the ass; growing up wealthy and privileged, and with much of her time spent with her head tucked away into a book or lost up in the clouds, it is very easy for Rosalie to become wrapped up in her own self-importance and/or problems while ignoring and/or stomping all over everyone else’s. Even in spite of all she’s been through since her childhood, this is very much something she still struggles with.

    Impatient and with a temper quick to flare up, she could argue and fight with her siblings and friends for an eternity if provoked. Raised to ‘always act like a lady’ takes its toll on a girl; Rosalie has a tendency for impulsive and reckless decisions, such as the time she once broke her mother’s favorite vase in retaliation for not allowing her to read a certain book. (Les Miserables, for reference.) Or that time she snuck out of her house against her husband’s wishes in order to sneak into a speakeasy with a friend, ultimately leading to her becoming a vampire.

    Rosalie has always felt deeply but grew up in an American family very much trying to emulate the whole British stiff upper lip ideal. She’s vulnerable and volatile, a potentially dangerous combination that only turns into quite the powder keg once she becomes a vampire.

    In 1925, thanks to an ancient sire named Sylvia, rumored to have been alive since the 14th century, one of Rosalie’s midnight field trips ended with fangs in her neck and blood down her throat; she became a vampire, upending and redefining the life she thought she knew.

    Within moments after awakening, alone and confused, Rosalie’s entire world turned upside down. All of her previous virtues, her choir girl veneer? Up in smoke, cheap ale, and all the cocaine laced blood Rosalie could guzzle down in a single evening.

    Becoming a vampire was, in a way, liberation for Rosalie; she found new life once she lost hers, emboldened by her new powers and the appearance of freedom that came with them. And yet, at the same time, this 'liberation' also opened up a Pandora's Box of all of the worst in Rosalie.

    She learned, the hard way, and quickly, that becoming a vampire was just the start. On the night she's turned, Rosalie's entire immediate family, as well as her husband and daughter, are staying over the Bakers' Boston estate to help celebrate the birthday of Rosalie's youngest brother, Hamish. This same night, the intensity of her initial hunger drove her to feeding and murdering her entire family, all except, miraculously, her young daughter, Dorothy. It was only when Matthias, an associate of Sylvia, found her, covered in blood and clothes all torn to shreds, that, horrified, she realized what she’d done.

    At first, Rosalie just wanted to die. It was nothing less than she deserved, she thought. But Matthias took her in; helped her to run and hide, even helped her drop Dorothy off at an orphanage the day before they fled together. A kindness, she thought.

    Except what she had with Matthias wasn’t kindness; it was a whirlwind, and it left a lot more than dust and debris in its wake. Rosalie went from a silver spoon dangling in her mouth to rags and blood and bones dangling in between her teeth, and everything in between. In the course of her life, she’s meandered all over the social ladder. Currently, she resides closer to the middle of the outside, which suits her just fine.

    Rosalie and Matthias never officially considered themselves in a relationship; they occasionally slept together, and sometimes even participated in the same threesome and/or orgy. But her connection to Matthias brought out the worst in Rosalie; everything she had previously spent her whole life repressing came writhing to the surface, frothing with years of pent up rage. Rosalie grew a taste for violence she still struggles with to this day; the porcelain doll of a girl so long kept on a neat and tidy shelf became the monster stalking the night, damn near draining it dry.

    For two decades, from the end of the 1920s through the 1940s, Rosalie and Matthias lived, hid, fucked, and fed together; Matthias introduced Rosalie to just about every drug under the sun, up to and including Pearl Dust, a combination of dead’s man blood, nightshade, silver powder, and magic potion that works like a combination of weed and prescription pain killers for vampires in particular. (It’s absolute poison for humans, faeries, and angels, with varying results for other species. Demons and werewolves also tend to get a kick out of it.) It’s an addiction Rosalie carries with her even now.

    It was really only after she saved her daughter’s life, in 1945, after a violent and intense confrontation interrupted by a demon, that Rosalie was able to pull her life together, twenty years after the fact that hers, technically, ended.

    From the 1950s onward, Rosalie works on bettering herself. She works with hunters and those fighting to keep evil at bay, offering her vampire strengths and advantages to try and atone for the damage she's caused. Unfortunately, it's always a constant struggle with Rosalie; her morality, once so clearly defined, now exists in varying shades of gray, and she struggles with the various addictions she's picked up along the way (human blood, Pearl Dust, and various human drugs,) on top of her violent impulses and tendency to act before she thinks.

    In late 1962, while working to solve a murder of a selkie construction worker, Rosalie encounters a female identifying angel named Clara who helps her solve the case. To celebrate, they venture out for drinks together, and, ultimately, wind up in bed together. Rosalie and Clara end up spending quite a bit of time together; in the closest Rosalie's ever come to an actual vacation, outside of her honeymoon, they spend two weeks together in Washington, enjoying the peace and quiet of a log cabin out in the woods.

    Over the years, Rosalie and Clara meet up as often as they can, but this becomes increasingly difficult as Hell begins to work on freeing Lucifer in order to cause the apocalypse. The last time Rosalie sees Clara is in 1999; given that it's been so long, she doesn't believe she will see her again.

    It's during the middle of the 1990s that Hell really begins ramping up its plans to free Lucifer and end the world; Rosalie barely gets the chance to rest, what with the constant fighting, spying, interfering, and rescuing she does, working to fight and prevent the end of the world.

    In 2005, Eloise Sterling, her great great granddaughter, at the age of 19, gets bitten by a rogue werewolf. Luckily, she survives, but Rosalie helps as she transitions to the life of a werewolf in the midst of the ongoing war around them.

    The war is no closer to ending by the time Rosalie arrives in Duplicity. Rosalie helps to fight for the good of this world. She knows she can’t atone for everything she’s done but she does believe in helping to make things right for the world. She mentors and helps fledglings of all species when she can; she hunts down monsters, including those like herself, in the dark. She’s a survivor, halfway and wayward reformed party animal, and she’s got more blood on her hands than freckles on her skin, the kind of stain that don’t quite wash out.

    She’s fiercely loyal and devoted to those she cares about; she’s intelligent, courageous, and she’ll never back down when anyone or anything threatens those she loves. She’s a fighter who will go down swinging, when her time comes, she knows.

    But like hell if she’s ever going to take what life (and God) throws at her lying down.

    Personality:

    Adaptable: Over the years, Rosalie has gone from a sheltered, privileged young woman to a vampire steeped in all of the deepest and darkest excesses life has to offer. Throughout the different eras of her life, Rosalie has adapted, using her intelligence, cunning, and resourcefulness to do so. As the daughter of a wealthy family, she learned how to please others in order to be able to further her true interests, such as reading and studying. She let herself be cast in the mold of obedient daughter and wife; rebelling or openly questioning such matters would only serve to hurt her through the disappointment of her family and society at large. She learned to compromise and act with diplomacy, to adhere to the image of the 'good girl' her family and society expected her to be while pursuing her own goals of furthering her own education and observing the world.

    As a vampire, Rosalie very much adapted to the bloody violence of her new life; she learned how to feed, how to avoid and/or escape monster hunters and others who would do her harm, how to better hone her fighting skills, how to avoid the sun while finding the means to still be able to walk around during daylight, etc. She fit herself in to the new boundaries of her life with the same skills that previously helped maintain her status as the perfect daughter.

    Once she ‘got her head on straight’ after decades of reckless partying and indulging, Rosalie again adapted; she learned to use her vampiric abilities to fight evil, to assist those already fighting evil, and even how to heal, though it’s not an ability she uses often or without considerable thought beforehand. As of yet, she hasn’t turned anyone else into a vampire like herself.

    If she weren’t able to adapt as well as she has over the years, Rosalie would never have survived this long.

    Empathetic: For all of her faults, one of Rosalie’s greatest strengths is her empathy; she feels deeply and she can keenly relate to others, even now that she is no longer human. Empathy with her husband with regards to the fact of his sexuality greatly strengthened their friendship and provided a strong foundation for their marriage of convenience; later on in life, this empathy fostered understanding in and provided strength for Rosalie when she recognized her own bisexuality.

    Feeling so strongly for Dorothy, her daughter, that she managed to refrain and keep herself from killing her after becoming a vampire, and then, later, saving her life after a violent confrontation with demons, is the defining factor in what leads Rosalie to turning her life around. Understanding and relating to the pain of transforming into a monster, she’s able to reach out, connect with, and help her great great granddaughter, Eloise, as she adjusts to becoming a werewolf.

    Rosalie’s empathy is why she keeps fighting, but, at the same time, the undercurrent of her ability to relate with and feel for other people only increases the depths of the guilt and the mountain of regrets she carries around with her.

    Volatile: Rosalie struggles constantly with her darker urges; as much as she has adapted over the years, she’s also grown reckless from the urgency of her desires, especially her desires to atone for her past and to try and help save the world. She’ll throw herself whole-heartedly into fights, disregarding her own safety and well-being in the process; this is often a sticking point in her arguments with people who care about her, first with Dorothy, after they’ve reconciled, and, later, with Eloise. And try as she might to avoid causing collateral damage, Rosalie tends to often put others at risk in the process of trying to achieve her goals.

    As much as she wants to become a better person, Rosalie often relies upon violence as a means to end, problem solving or otherwise, whether it’s a punch to the face in a bar brawl or using her teeth to rip apart an enemy. She’ll find ways to justify violence if violence gets her the results she wants. She has, almost, a religious sort of reverence for violence; she relies on it the way she relies on saying her prayers before going to sleep, finding a comfort in it despite what she tells both herself and others.

    More than physically reckless, Rosalie harbors a multitude of pent up frustrations and facets of rage from all that she’s experienced over the years. When emotionally set off, she acts before she thinks, whether that’s throwing a punch, throwing a drink in someone’s face, starting an argument, or storming off in a huff. She feels emotions of all sorts very strongly, and she often lets them get the better of her; control, both over her emotions, impulses, and all the rest, is a perpetual struggle for her, as much a recovery as her addictions.

    This struggle for control is especially prevalent in Rosalie’s impulses; when she decides she wants something, she doesn’t hesitate to pursue it, regardless of any potential consequences, such as the time she chased after Sylvia, her vampire sire, looking for answers, and wound up nearly dying from ending up between warring packs of werewolves instead.

    And, truthfully, Rosalie gets a thrill out of taking huge risks; it’s the one vice she hasn’t yet tried to quit. Everything from roller coasters and ziplining to fights in which she almost gets herself killed; she loves risks of all varieties. This is another aspect of Rosalie that often leads to conflict with those who care about her; Dorothy and Eloise both argue that her guilt drives her to extremes and seeking out extremes, and, at different points throughout Rosalie’s life, they both argue that, in doing so, she’s trying to get herself killed. They both are right, Rosalie knows; they both try and help her, Dorothy before she passed away, and, now, Eloise, taking up her great grandmother’s mantel.

    Gluttony: Rosalie has wanted her entire life, from her time as a young woman of privilege to her current existence as a vampire. For all of her adaptability and ability to appear like a sensible young woman, she’s always harbored darker impulses. Her hunger is the darkest part of herself, the endless yearning for something more, something better. This has manifested in different ways throughout her life, from her desire for knowledge as a human to her hunger for blood as a vampire, and every urge in between.

    She’s struggled with urges for drinking, for dancing, for vices such as smoking, and for sex, long before turning into a vampire; once she did turn, the barrier Rosalie erected between herself and all of her desires burst wide open like a dam, made all the more potent by all of the years she spent repressing them. Her addictions flourished; blood, sex, violence, drugs, and living on the edge. She lathered her hands in blood as she fucked, bit, partied, brawled, and even killed her way through two decades, unabashed and unashamed.

    Even reformed as she is now, Rosalie constantly walks a fine line between keeping on the wagon, so to speak, and the strength of her hunger. Even her desires to atone, to help save the world and improve upon it, are forms of hunger, ones that, in Rosalie, currently run very deep. And she knows, only too well, what such deep desires are capable of inspiring in her; she remembers her two decades of unabashed and reckless partying only too well. Her greatest fear is relapsing into the kind of devil that she used to be.

    Stubborn, Unyielding: Rosalie is as pigheaded as a mule. She’s set in her ways and prone to getting defensive when people call her out for being wrong or making a mistake; even as a young woman of society, she tended to have what her mother would call ‘impish flare ups’ of temper deemed extremely improper for a lady of her status. Rosalie, even now, nearly a century later, can easily cause or heighten arguments with her steadfast belief that she’s always right.

    She’s someone who always has to have the last word and doesn’t know how to let things go. As she works to prevent the apocalypse, she’s determined that her methods and ideas are the best and most productive means of doing so; this often leads to fights and arguments with Eloise and other allies when they try to give their input and/or offer suggestions of their own ideas.

    As much as Rosalie has changed and learned to adapt over the years, in some ways, she still clings to the past. Internally, even after all of these years later, she struggles with the ideals and standards set for her by both her parents and society, as well as what it means to be a good person in the wake of all the harm she’s caused. This struggle serves as the root of Rosalie’s stubborn nature; she always feels like she has something to prove. This stubbornness can lead her to be cruel, particularly if her emotions are heightened due to her constant repression of them.

    Guilt, Repression: Rosalie, as someone who believes in and relies on religion, and is also caught up currently in a Biblical Apocalypse, carries the weight of her guilt constantly – wherever she goes, in fact. Much in the same way she believes God is always watching, Rosalie’s guilt is a constant, definitive presence in her life, her own personal heavy and ruthless Holy Spirit.

    Rosalie remembers every kill that she’s ever made, but, particularly, the murders of her immediate family and husband, as well as nearly killing her own daughter. She truly believes she’ll never wash her hands of their blood; not now, not ever. She also especially carries the guilt from all of her reckless adventures with Mathias, and all the harm that stemmed from the way she lost control on those adventures over the course of twenty years.

    Rosalie struggles with the way her guilt runs through her like the blood in her veins; she’s always aware of its presence, no matter how many Hail Marys she repeats, and she’s afraid of letting people get too close because of how much she regrets so much of what she’s done.

    She carries the guilt alone, believing it to be her cross to bear. When Eloise or any of her other allies try to reach out to her regarding her past, she clams up and isolates herself, shutting out those she cares about in the process.

    Thanks to her guilt, Rosalie has become quite adept at suppressing her feelings and thoughts; over the course of her long life, she’s all but honed repression into an art. However, she can’t keep those feelings and thoughts repressed forever; eventually, they’re bound to seep out, one way or another.

    Much in the same way her darkest urges exploded into being when she turned into a vampire, her feelings explode when she tries to keep them contained for too long. This tendency, combined with her stubbornness, often leads Rosalie into additional conflicts and arguments, adding to the complicated, internal mess of the guilt she carries inside.

    Guilt also causes Rosalie to act recklessly; she’s developed something of a martyr complex over the years. Given how much bad she’s done in her life, the guilt she carries from her past weighs as deeply as an anchor, and she believes she has to sacrifice everything, up to and including her own life, in order to make things right. This belief inspires her to throw herself so recklessly into danger, usually involving fights with demons or other monsters. In fact, part of why Clara eventually leaves her is due to Rosalie’s reckless behavior and lack of regard for herself.

    Manipulative, Calculating: Rosalie knows how to plan; she knows how to take advantages of opportunities when they present themselves and she also knows how to create her own opportunities. The same cunning, intelligence, and resourcefulness that allows her to adapt throughout the different eras of her life also allow her to size up a variety of situations and figure out the best ways to make those situations work for her.

    She has plenty of practical reasons for this, of course; her survival depends on her ability to keep ahead of those who want to kill her, whether monster hunters on paths of righteousness or any number of servants of Hell trying to stop her from ruining their plans to release Lucifer and end the world.

    However, much in the same way that she gets a thrill out of taking risks, Rosalie enjoys the whole cloak and dagger dance of manipulating situations and people to her advantage; she enjoys keeping people guessing just for the sake of it, and she especially enjoys basking in her own cleverness in such matters.

    Keeping her secrets close to her chest allows Rosalie something of a fresh start with every new stranger that she meets; it gives her a sense of control, an advantage in that she can determine how people view her. She can keep all of her inner turmoil (guilt, regrets, struggles over her deepest and darkest desires) contained and fool people into thinking that she’s a better person than she actually is.

    In order to achieve her goals, Rosalie, as much as she tries to be a better person, isn’t above getting her hands dirty in the process of working towards what she wants most; as much as such desperation adds to her guilt, her willingness to take such risks also works to her advantage when scheming and planning. Being able to calculate and manipulate people and situations is one of the reasons why Rosalie has survived as long as she has.


    Powers and Abilities: Vampires in Rosalie's world function similarly to what one would expect of vampires, with some exceptions. Vampires from the oldest lineages, the ones who can either trace their own origins as a vampire back further than two centuries or those of the vampire that sired them back further than two centuries, possess the ability to shapeshift into the animal that best represents them. (Like Patronuses in Harry Potter.) For Rosalie, who was turned by Sylvia, a vampire of the 14th century, her animal form is that of a stag.

    As a vampire, Rosalie has a paler complexion than most, and temperature wise, she runs cooler than ordinary humans. Her eyes also glint silver if one looks closely enough, (they turn full silver and widen when she feeds) and her lips, when not covered with lipstick, which they usually are, have a tint of blue about them. The most obvious difference to her physical appearance is the set of fangs that descend like shark teeth when Rosalie is about to feed and/or her own hunger becomes too much. These aren’t pretty teeth; they are sharp and pointed, and they are numerous. When she’s about to binge on some blood, you’ll know.

    Rosalie needs blood to live. She can get by draining animals and supplementing that with barely cooked meat, but she has an addiction for human blood, which is richer and much more nourishing than that of animals. As mentioned above, she tries to rely on consensual exchanges, either for money, favors, drugs, etc. When that doesn’t pan out, she’ll rob a blood bank, which is a real pain in the ass, given the weight of Catholic Guilt ™ she carries with her.

    As a vampire, Rosalie obtains some superhuman abilities: she can shapeshift into a stag at will, though she can never hold the form for longer than two hours, for risk of becoming trapped in that animal form forever. She has enhanced strength, endurance, speed, and stamina; it’s more difficult for her to get drunk but when she does, her liver doesn’t suffer. The same goes for human drugs. Supernatural and/or magical drugs, however? Are quite harmful to her body. She can use her blood to heal others or turn them into vampires like herself, although she has yet to do so. (And hopes she’ll never have to, in all honesty.) Years spent fighting monsters have helped her further hone these skills; she’s not invulnerable but she’s a fairly tough opponent, nonetheless. She’s also trained in fighting with swords, daggers, and she’s one hell of a shot with guns of all varieties.

    She’s also immortal, which kind of goes without saying. She does not have the ability to compel people, which she is extremely grateful for. She can, however, create glamors and illusions with relative ease, a skill refined from years spent living on the run/trying to escape her past/running from demons. She’s not invisible in mirrors but her reflection will reveal her eyes to be silver and her lips to be blue; in other words, mirrors will reveal what she is. Crosses don’t repel her, and neither do churches.

    As a vampire, Rosalie has her fair share of weaknesses. Beheading will kill her dead, as will a stake to the heart. Setting her on fire also does the trick, especially if laced with dead man’s blood. Dead man’s blood on its own will act like a tranquilizer and make her weak. There are various warding spells and banishing spells in her world that can be used to repel and/or trap her; Rosalie has plenty of experience with both. Silver weapons are also extremely harmful/fatal to her. She does have to be invited in, but only for personal homes. Businesses and public areas? All fair game.

    Sunlight won’t outright kill her so long as she stays out of direct sunlight. However, the longer she remains out during the day, even when standing in the shade, the weaker she becomes. If she stays outside during the day for longer than four hours without magical aid, she will eventually turn to ash.

    There are various charms, spells, and hexes available to Rosalie to enable her to be active and outside during the day. However, these are all of a complex sort of magic that can only come from witches or faeries, and they aren’t cheap. Rosalie has gotten herself in trouble more times than she can count in order to obtain what she needs to stay out in daylight. Mostly, she uses these charms to attend church during the day, or to check in on various friends, allies, and loved ones. It’s much easier and safer for Rosalie to function at night.

    That being said, she does possess a necklace, made of copper and amethyst, shaped like a deer and nearly mirroring her tattoo, gifted to her by Eloise, her werewolf great great granddaughter after purchasing it from an especially gifted witch after saving her life, that acts like one of these spells/charms, allowing Rosalie to walk around in daylight without harming herself. However, this necklace only works for four hours at a time, after which it must be allowed to 'recharge' by resting on the surface of anything that isn't alive. The time it takes to recharge depends upon the time for which it was used; if used for four hours, it will take four hours to recharge, if used for three, it will need to recharge for three, etc. Rosalie is often careless with this necklace and will use it up completely while still out in daylight/after not charging it enough.

    No matter where she’s living at the moment, Rosalie takes care to find a place with few windows. She uses a mix of magic, thick, dark curtains, and paint to black out windows. She doesn’t have to sleep in a coffin but it’s more comfortable for her to sleep in cooler, damper spaces. In that regard, she usually has both an AC and a humidifier running at the same time.

    Biologically, she can have sex but she cannot reproduce.
