===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance</div>===
Lacey is petite for a midlander hyur. Her frame is average for a woman her size, slight but enough curves to attract attention and not be described as boyish. On closer observation she is toned, mostly in the upper body from time spent practicing archery and ninjutsu.

Lacey face is generally serious and she generally reserves a smile for special occasions. Her skin is pale and easily sun burnt. After spending too much time in the sun her face will become freckles, an attribute she detests and vainly keeps an eye on.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">History</div>===
Lacey was born in a country on the continent of Ilsabard. By the time she was born her country had already been part of the ever expending Garlean Empire for several years. Her father led an underground faction working to retake their homeland. When she was eight, her father, along with the rest of the underground faction, were captured and publically executed for high treason. Shortly afterwards Lacey was conscripted into the Garlean Armed Forces and upon being assessed for her natural talents, began training in a secret academy that focused on espionage. The academy trained her in the eastern art of Ninjutsu. The academy also conducted human experimentation on the students in order to improve their natural abilities.
Like most recruits, Lacey began working in the field between her training, when she was twelve. She failed her first mission horribly due to empathetic tendencies (this will be expended on later) and it was decided that she was better suited as a sleeper agent rather working directly in the field. She underwent significant psychological conditioning, taking on different persona’s only to be activated in the field by a phrase and to take out key targets that proved to be threats to the Garlean Empire. By the time she was twenty she had risen through the ranks of the Doman ninja operatives to the rank of Nightshadow.
Most recently she was located in Doma when the Empire lost control of it. Implanted as a sleeper agent (amongst other agents) with the mission of helping to retake Doma, she was captured by the countries forces. Somehow she managed to find her way aboard a Doman refugee boat and has fled from the Empire to freedom in Eorzea.
Currently she is contracted to the Rogue's Guild in Limsa.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent Events</div>===
During the razing of Doma by the Garlean Empire Lacey was captured by Domans and taken aboard their ship that set sail for Eorzea. Kept in a box of silken handkerchief’s, she was provided with little food and water. When the Doman boat eventually arrived in Eorzea she was moved to Mor Dhona with the rest of the Doman Refugee’s. Her captors intended to make her death long and painful, seeing her as a way to take out their frustrations at the loss of their country. She was soon discovered by Ren’li Nblu, an adventurer helping the Domans travel to Mor Dhona and freed. She stayed with his company while she recovered. She began working as a freelance spy in Ul’dah. Her first client, Varus Rosenthal, hired her for various tasks. While working for him she meet Zaku Paku, an officer in the Immortal Flames, and began investigating him, seeing him as a means to gather important intel about the Flames and other significant events in Ul’dah. Eventually she began to grow attached to the man and told him about Varus. The two quickly became closer and began dating until he revealed his heart belonged to another. Devastated, she decided to leave Varus’ service. Varus was enraged when he learnt of Lacey’s allegiance to Zaku and he magically ripped all memories of himself from her mind, resulting in significant psychological and physical damage to her brain. He also implanted in her mind a list of targets, including Zaku, to kill. She slowly recovered with the help of her friends and had the list of targets locked away in the recesses of her mind.

Recently she joined the Free Company Aeon, a secretive group which she loosely feels loyalty to.

Lacey recently discovered the healing factor she has as a result of experimentation on her body by Garlean scientists is slowly killing her due to increased physical strain on her body functions. She is currently looking for a solution to this dilemma.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Personality</div>===
As an ex Garlean spy she is very manipulative. She can take on different persona’s quite convincingly. Amongst friends she would be described as quiet, preferring to listen rather than talk. While she attempts at most times to keep a cold, calm demeanor she can become over emotional about issues close to her like the Garlean Empire or pertaining to the safety of her friends. She is prone to using sarcasm.

}}<font size="3">''A naive girl. A stubborn businesswoman. A mystery.''</font>

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupations are slowly becoming more obvious as her business contacts and notoriety grows. She, however, does her best to shy away from the focus of investigations and from being the topic of conversation, preferring to operate behind the scenes and only making abrupt movements when she absolutely has to.

((Updated - 10/4.))

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:20px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, a trait of Keepers.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:17px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying as they may be unsure if she just insulted them to their face. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

Above all, Roswyn is governed by her own unique sense of justice.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:21px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn still retains her hair-trigger temper but she's better at controlling it these days. She's learned that some situations needen't always resort to violence, despite how much the person deserves it. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the daggers and bow. She has a sudden, growing desire to improve her swordsmanship for reasons she won't quite explain as well as shoring up her marksmanship. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

Her intensive training as an Arcanist after her adoption has served to ingrain in her a decent amount of knowledge regarding aetherical skills and in conversation she appears above average in discussion of the subject. Her own personal research into the Void and Voidsent as well as her own first person experiences make her an interesting individual to broach the subject with. Her training in Arcanima left her with an anaylatical mind and a logical view of the world, despite the fact that she could never develop a taste for the art.

Conjury ended up being much more her forte and she took to the art with vigor after watching several people she knew suffer permanent injuries and almost perish for lack of immediate attention. However, while her interest in conjury does appear to be solely for the benefit of others, she appears to get going down a darker route. A slow perversion of the art that is scantly known and seldom written about in books. Her true motivations for this remain unknown.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:18px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn, at face value, is one of the administrative leads of a free company called Eclipsis. However, her position within the company affords her certain abilities. In specific circles, she's known to be able to smuggle goods into Ul'dah, fence and sell the items utilizing merchants and stalls set up throughout the city and at the Golden Bazaar. Provided it isn't blatent contraband, which requires more finesse and effort, Roswyn can get items in the city and subsequentially get rid of them in exchange for coin.

As far as pastimes, she seems to be a rather solitary creature, preferring the company of only a few people she seems to trust. Big parties and get-togethers are not her style. If viewed in her room she's often reading about conjural theory these days, making an effort to develop the art in herself.

=== Family ===

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people and the one things he is known for is his operations in the Ul'dan underground. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

Business partner, bodyguard, or perhaps a mix of the two. His real relation to her is unknown and he's not seen around her as much as he used to be.

Several weeks passing and brokering many business deals together have brought the two very close and Roswyn, in her typical fashion, appears to be ignoring all warnings that she should keep her distance despite what she knows about him.

He is a little stoic for her tastes, however. Almost oddly robotic in his sense of duty. Admirable, but boring. </td>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:17px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Rumors</div>===
=== Common Rumors ===

::*She used to frequent the Quicksand quite often. We don't see her much anymore.
::*She still does seem to enjoy fashion, doesn't she?
::*I overheard her yelling and growling at some poor Merchant. Sounds like she has a temper.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*That girl occasionally wears weapons. I think she knows how to use them too.
::*You know, come to think of it, I have no idea what she actually does for a living...
::*She tends to stick to Miqo'te. Hyur's maybe. Elezen? Forget it.
::*In all the times I've seen her introduce herself she has "never" used a last name. And I mean Never.

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*We see her duck in and out of houses here in Drybone before she heads North somewhere. Ain't much had the nerve to try followin her.
::*Aye, she passes through South Shroud. She manages to wander into bandit camps and come out unscathed. It's enough to make a person wonder about her affiliations...
::*Her? No. Stay away. You'll get your face carved up or go missing. That one snaps.
::*I once heard a man joke about her summoning demons of some kind to protect her. Maybe it was in jest but his face was straight the whole time...

=== Player Character Rumors ===

::*"She combines farsighted vision with selective blindness, and a crystal certainty that she is always right. She is ambitious, and ruthless in her pursuit of her ambition. Yet beneath it all she is still vulnerable, and that makes her eminently appealing. I've watched her grow from a young girl to a capable young woman, watched her build something she's always wanted. We may not see one another, nor even speak anymore, but I've never been more proud of her." - [[C'kayah Tia]]
::*"Stubborn as a brick in the wind." - [[Keroa Mosuke]]
::*"I've only just met her recently. I saw her once before when I first came to Ul'dah, and the first impression was rather poor. I've heard more negatives then positives about her, but you know how people like to talk. So far she seems friendly enough." - [[Lilithium Altair]]
::*Feel free to add if you know of her!

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-bottom:20px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">History</div>===

=== Childhood ===

Roswyn's childhood was defined by many factors she'd prefer to never experience again. It's rare she's heard discussing it and even rarer for her to disclose details. A member of a rather unremarkable group of bandits in the Black Shroud, Roswyn was adopted into this lifestyle when her mother was killed by the same group that adopted her. Her mother's death was an unfortunate accident, a stray arrow catching her during a robbing of the caravan she happened to be traveling in. Roswyn was born mere moments before her death and all she knows of her mother was told her her by the members of her gurilla group who happened to be present that day.

Roswyn grew up embedded in this lifestyle defined by a hatred of Wildwoods, a distaste for the Adder, and a drive to survive. Being cold, persecuted, and hungry were staples of her younger years and it wouldn't have been beyond her to put an arrow in the throat of a Gridanian guard who happened to wander too far from the trail leading to his city if she thought he had food or provisions she could procure.

It was the Calamity that ended this lifestyle for her, resulting in her adoption. She watched the majority of her adoptive family perish before her eyes that day and she herself merely laid on the ground, waiting to accept death at the hands of fate, until she found herself scooped up and taken elsewhere.

=== Adolescence ===

At the age of 14, Roswyn found herself adopted and brought to Ul'dah, a city like she never could have imagined from her humble scope of the world. It took several years of education and training for her to overcome her humble upbringing, her patterns of speech and dialect changing to reflect this. Despite her origins, Roswyn possessed a keen mind and this was swiftly recognized by her adoptive father. In addition to her training as an Archanist, she was taught many other skills that are evident today with her current line of work. Through her years of study, her instructors recognized that she had an amazing, yet untapped aptitude for magic that she had never focused on. It was also discovered that she had a very specific mental and personality disorder, likely developed after the Calamity, and it's something that affects her to this day.

At was at this time of about 15 years of age that Roswyn met [[C'kayah Tia]], a smuggler who had been doing business with her father. Roswyn grew rather fond of the man. He was always kind to her and armed with a gift or a story to tell. She never could have known than that it would be this relationship that would explode into an array of complications once she reached adulthood.

=== Present ===
Roswyn is fairly new on the scene in Ul'dah, leading many to wonder where the hell she came from. She posses a strange amount of knowledge of the underworld for a young woman and can come across as oddly threatening and calculating, while at the same time leaving people with the impression that she is harmless. Who knows where this chosen path will lead her?

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Roswyn:

::*Anyone who has lived in Ul'dah might recognize her from the shopping she does around the city.
::*Anyone with ties to the Ul'dahn underground.
::*Anyone who peruses the shadier bars.
::*Mercs, sellswords or assassins looking for hire or information brokers or informants looking to make a contact.
::*Anyone desiring access to illegal contraband of almost any sort.
::*Anyone who opens conversation with her in public. She tends not to open it herself unless you interest her in a particular way.

=== Annotations ===

Roswyn will likely change a bit with the release of rogue/ninja as this was how the character was originally envisioned.

I used (and heavily edited) the template page of [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and [[Lurial Vashir]] after asking for permission first.

}}<font size="3">''A naive girl. A stubborn businesswoman. A mystery.''</font>

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill is conjury is average at best, but she still possesses the ability to heal surface wounds. Heavy internal damage and the curing of poisons and disease still eludes her.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

Roswyn would go to lengths to help and save Arky, possibly doing some dark things she feels he would never approve of but she wouldn't care if she could find a way to help him.

It's beginning to become harder and harder to conceal. And Roswyn is on the verge of no longer trying anymore. Orpheus has come to mean more to her than she thought possible.

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill is conjury is average at best, but she still possesses the ability to heal surface wounds. Heavy internal damage and the curing of poisons and disease still eludes her.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

She would never admit it, but she does enjoy his company, obnoxious as he is. As her life becomes more complicated, Roswyn has learned to cherish people like Ignasse more and more. </td>

Something that maybe she wishes she had in herself. She's recently learned more about his condition and the revelation brought her to tears. Roswyn would go to lengths to help and save Arky, possibly doing some dark things she feels he would never approve of but she wouldn't care if she could find a way to help him.

Her every wail for his safety. Every compromise, every pleading from her wasn't good enough. She'd eased the blow in everyway she knew how but it wasn't good enough.

It's beginning to become harder and harder to conceal. And Roswyn is on the verge of no longer trying anymore. Orpheus has come to mean more to her than she thought possible.

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill is conjury is average at best, but she still possesses the ability to heal surface wounds. Heavy internal damage and the curing of poisons and disease still eludes her.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:2px;height:25px;background:#444363; font-size:25px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

==<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill is conjury is average at best, but she still possesses the ability to heal surface wounds. Heavy internal damage and the curing of poisons and disease still eludes her.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:25px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill is conjury is average at best, but she still possesses the ability to heal surface wounds. Heavy internal damage and the curing of poisons and disease still eludes her.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

=== Family ===

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

Something that maybe she wishes she had in herself. She's recently learned more about his condition and the revelation brought her to tears. Roswyn would go to lengths to help and save Arky, possibly doing some dark things she feels he would never approve of but she wouldn't care if she could find a way to help him.

She misses naively looking up to him and looking forward to his visits. Now whenever they are together it's some odd, awkward, frustrating hell. The tension in the room can get so high one can barely breathe. Despite this, due to their past she would go to lengths for him and the two know each other extremely well but Roswyn has concluded that distance and moving forward was the only way to deal with him....until recent developments turned everything upside down.

== Character ==

=== General ===

Roswyn, on the surface, is an attractive young Miqo'te girl. Upon first glance, she gives off a vibe that leads many to believe she is innocent and sweet causing many to unjustly underestimate her. She is often approached in a manner befitting her appearance and while she despises this, it makes it very easy for her to manipulate whomever approached her. She has a good sense of humor and isn't above taking a verbal jab or two if it's genuinely funny and improves the conversation. However, she automatically expects the same from others and that can occasionally land her in hot water. The initial impression of her is usually one of unfriendliness though once some time has been spent with her it's discovered she has a softer, almost melancholy nature.

=== Appearance ===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy and she is not afraid to use this to her advantage, provided it doesn't dig her into a hole she needs violence to crawl out of. If watched it will be noticed that her ears are rather expressive and her tail is rather fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

== Combat ==

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This is a skill that has not seen any use recently however and would likely need to be practiced at length before she could make use of it once more.<br/><br/>After coming under the care of The Benefactor, Roswyn underwent intensive training as an Arcanist. A large part of her past five years have been spent with her nose in books, her hands writing, and her manners being refined. She is educated on a wide variety of scholastic and magical subjects and has even been overheard discussing the properties of Voidsent. She has also been seen once or twice with a summoned Egi, though if asked about these abilities you be met with an evasive reply.<br/>

=== General ===

Roswyn long ago learned to use her small stature, gender, and looks to get underneath an opponents guard and she will employ this trick today. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

== Tendencies ==

Roswyn has a blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not hold her opinion either. Her odd mix of upbringings have left her with an eclectic mix of tastes. She is Keeper by blood and possesses this temper and strength of will, however her upbringing left her with an intense distaste for polyamory. She respects other individuals rights to live their lifestyles as they see fit, but if she is approached with something that makes her uncomfortable it is not out of the question for her to react strangely.

She appreciates conversation with educated men and nothing quite tickles her fancy like a game of verbal chess with an attractive man. Even when she loses, she has still thoroughly enjoyed her evening. She has a palate for fine wines and food, yet is not above slugging back a mug of ale if it is all that is available. She presents herself as a lady, but her rough around the edges past can sometimes manifest in her behaviors, especially when she is distracted or preoccupied.

Despite now being more well-to-do Roswyn has a large soft spot for the less fortunate. She has a great deal of sympathy for the poor, often reacting with verbal quips and even violence if she comes across someone accosting another simply for their lot in life. She is impulsive and her ultimate priority is following her own personal sense of justice, regardless of the outcome. She never cared much for authority and a person will need to earn her respect in one way or another before she will take an order or consider them a leader. She believes respect is earned, not given.

== Relationships ==

=== Family ===

Roswyn's family past is drenched in death and blood and is not something she will speak of regularly or easily. She has either never had anyone or had to watch them die, all with the exception of The Benefactor.

Her birth mother's name, while the Black Claws did meet her, has been lost to time and all she knows of her is the physical description she was provided with. Her father was never mentioned and she has absolutely no clue as to his identity or whereabouts. The Black Claws were all she knew for 14 years before the Calamity claimed most of them. In the wake of their deaths, Roswyn collapsed, accepting defeat at the hands of her fate until she was rescued and adopted.

=== Friends ===

'''[[Ignasse Arbeau]]:''' Ignasse could both be called a friend and an enemy in many regards. The two share a strange antagonistic yet affectionate friendship, both loving to tease and give the other hell on occasion. Ignasse is one of the men that carries a scar on his face from Ros's temper. In retrospect, she has no idea why he chooses to remain on "good" terms with her but she is glad he does. She would never admit it, but she does enjoy his company, obnoxious as he is.

'''[[Laurentius Vexen]]:''' Laurentius or "Lars" as he has come to be called, is someone Roswyn would call a friend. She enjoys his demeanor, sense of humor and wit. When they first met, she disliked him immensely as he was objectifying her. She gave him hell for several hours in the form of verbal quips. However, Larz's ability to play along with her jokes and give her a smile eventually won her friendship. The two have spoken on multiple occasions since then but recently had a small tiff. While that's normally something she would brush off, Roswyn can't help thinking about it. Or talking about it. As time as passed, Roswyn has concluded that Larz is a friend best kept at arms length.

'''[[Arky Mosuke]]:''' Roswyn briefly met Arky alongside Laurentius in the Quicksand and was almost taken in by his sweet and charming demeanor until she heard some rather nasty rumors. She cared for Arky while he was recovering and in doing so came to the conclusion that things said about him in passing were not entirely accurate. She considers Arky a friend, despite his occasional flirty commentary. The relationship between these two has recently taken a turn for the more complicated, leaving Roswyn wondering what will become of their friendship. In the end, after several uncomfortable occurrences for her, Roswyn has decided that no matter how much she enjoys Arky's demeanor the problems surrounding him are too all-consuming for her taste.

'''[[Keroa Mosuke]]:''' Roswyn soon met Keroa through Arky after his near death incident. She assisted her in taking care of Arky while he was recovering and the two have a bit of a natural friendship, at least in Roswyn's mind. She doesn't often get along with other women and is happy that she and Keroa seem to have things in common.

'''[[Rakuyu Crezzinlot]]:''' Ros met Raku by chance when a passerby was giving her grief for possessing an Egi. The two have remained friends, if more on a professional basis in her mind. He did challenge her to a bet and if he won he said he got to buy her dinner. She ended up winning and made him buy her dinner anyway. Roswyn briefly mentioned The Benefactor to him and he remains the only one she has discussed him with.

'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''' It's slowly becoming obvious that these two now know each other on a more than casual basis but the nature of the connection remains foggy. Perhaps one of Roswyn's strangest connections, she will rarely be seen with him in public but a very few know that they meet for hours at a time. What the hell is going on here?

'''[[Xel'naga Trellvani]]:''' Xel has the honor of being the only head of a polyamourous relationship that Roswyn hasn't found completely rage and sickness inducing. She enjoys his company and finds him well-spoken and compassionate. She will often rely on him if she has an emotional quandary she isn't sure how to deal with.

'''[[Altima Zeroblade]]:''' Roswyn met Altima alongside Arky and has shared a few conversations and drinks with her. She finds her quiet and reserved and Roswyn is thankful that Altima doesn't seem to show any dislike towards her demeanor. As time has passed, Roswyn has some to think of Altima as a dependable friend, even growing worried that something may happen to ruin it.

'''[[Surilian Blu]]:''' Roswyn walked up to Suri with the intent of making light conversation and ended up escorting her to Scorpion Crossing to ensure her safety and prevent ambush from men that had been harrassing them outside the Quicksand. She didn't particularly take a liking to Suri immediately and though she would not admit it readily, she sees a lot of herself in her. She chose to escort Suri for a reason known only to herself and one other.

'''[[Torken Queb]]:''' Roswyn took a liking to the Hyur almost immediately for reasons that she will only smirk about. She laughs at his assumptions about her but she enjoys his view of looking at the world.

'''[[Haruki Aoyuki]]:''' This large, silent Miqo'te perplexes Roswyn sometimes and pleases her at other times. She has no problems with him, often enjoying his presence when he is around, but her need for communication sometimes strains her patience with him.

=== Enemies ===

None known at this time.

=== General ===

When it comes to matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed experience and knowledge. Many don't realize she is only 19 and being a young girl in U'ldah will obviously render you the object of men's attention...though she often mistakenly misjudges it as affection. She's picked up enough from watching other women, her finishing training, and her own Keeper instincts to keep most men away from her, but occasionally one will get under her surface. Every time this has happened it has ended poorly for her with the men making light of her affections or departing once they realize she won't be visiting their rooms on their request. Her encounters with men often remind her of what it is to be alone and abandoned and she has come to associate these feelings with men in general. Even with men she has positive relationships with she still takes on an aggressive demeanor, sometimes accidentally shooting down her own romantic hopes. Despite this, she still has an almost childlike flame alive in her heart that she may someday meet her special someone.

Recent experiences have caused Roswyn to have a bit of dislike towards Seeker males. She may react coldly when approached by one.

Rumors abound that men that have crossed her negatively have suffered consequences. A few merely only have scars, usually on the face. However, some have not been heard from in months. Whether this has anything to do with Roswyn, The Benefactor or another figure connected to her remains unknown.

== History/Timeline ==

Roswyn's history is speckled with death and abandonment, beginning from before she could remember. She was raised by a rather unremarkable and unknown group of bandits called The Black Claws in the Black Shroud of Gridania who never could manage to assimilate into the city-state. They inhabited thickets, trees and caves, maintaining their own style of archery and combat which Roswyn inherited. Though they were Miqo'te, they lacked any tribal focus, instead they were bound by the mutual desire to simply survive and not starve. They were a guerrilla group, robbing caravans, travelers and running heists in the city when they could get away with it. As a result Roswyn has an intimate understanding of what it is to be poor, cold, persecuted and hungry even though she gives little to no inkling of it now. How she came to be with this group is still mostly shrouded in mystery, her only clue is the stories told by her by the elder members of her group. One evening, a routine robbing of a trade caravan resulted in the fatal injury of a passenger: a silvery haired female Miqo'te who was with child. Before her inevitable death she gave birth to small, female child. From what they could gather before the passed, the woman was fleeing persecution for reasons that have long since died with her. The group chose to keep Roswyn and raise her as their own, imparting upon her a traditional Keeper of the Moon name, their wholly inadequate and perhaps culturally insensitive way of honoring the death of her mother. This name, however, is known only to Roswyn and has never been used in recent history.

Roswyn's life remained unchanged until her 14th year, the same year as the Calamity. The armies from Gridania had been moved to Cartaneau, leaving behind only a fringe defense force. Her bandit group chose to take advantage of the lack of guards and loot several shops in the city proper. This particular job was deemed too dangerous for the younger, weaker and older members of the group and Roswyn was asked to stay behind while the main band completed the task. Roswyn, never one for authority, followed behind the group. However, as they moved out the sky soon darkened and fire begin to rain down as Bahamut descended. The last thing Roswyn remembers clearly is taking refuge in a ravine as fire and debris rained down on the Black Shroud.

The rest of her memory is foggy. She remembers snippets and bits and pieces. Memories of this period will occasionally resurface and return to her in what she will call an "attack". Anytime she remembers anything it's emotionally wrenching for her and she prefers to leave it unknown as what has returned to her is nothing but death and gore.In the fog of her memory, she remembers kneeling by the bodies of her fallen adoptive family and collapsing. She estimates that she laid there for hours until she faintly remembers two strong arms lifting her up from the devastation and carrying her away.

From then on, she came to be called Roswyn Valhuri. A name bestowed upon her by a man she will only refer to as "The Benefactor." It's clear that this is the same man who saved her from the aftermath of the Calamity and aside from small descriptions she will not, under any circumstances, describe him in detail. His identity is a secret she plays close to her, and his consistent presence in her life is something she will never forsake. In one of the extremely rare moments where she does speak of him it's in a warm, dreamy tone. Her loyalty is clear and her allegiance is total. Whether or not she has been told not to discuss him or if she refuses to discuss him of her own volition remains unknown. Whoever the man is, it is apparent that amazing care has been taken of her. In the ultimate form of culture shock she was literally lifted from the dirt of poverty into a lavish city life. She is well spoken and properly educated. Her manners are refined and her verbal wit is a force to be reckoned with, despite her young age. She will occasionally speak of the residences she has available at her disposal in both U'ldah, Limsa, and Gridania, though she will only do so if she deems it necessary as she finds discussing ones own means to be classless and tactless. In all respects, she has blossomed into a fine member of high society...barring her lingering, hyper-aggressive Keeper Blood.

Roswyn suffers from a very specific, yet not altogether obvious personality disorder.

I truly love the Balmung server. The community is amazing and I have not had so much fun RPing in pretty much ever. <3
