Contents
x. General
Rosalind Westwind lives a largely solitary existence as an itinerant bookseller and historian. She supplies the occasional tome to various archives in Ul'dah, and, on occasion, to the Arcanist's Guild in Limsa Lominsa. Herself only a novice thaumaturge and arcanist, she knows enough magic to frighten off or poison the occasional wild animal or bandit she encounters during her quests for forgotten books and scrolls. Southern Thanalan's harsh landscape, coupled with the Calamity's recent destruction affords her plentiful pillaged caravans, abandoned homes and empty camps to survey. It is by these rather dubious methods she ekes out a meager livelihood and keeps her overstocked, yet uncannily tidy, book cart in working order.
x. Physical Traits
With ordinary hyuran looks and a short stature, Rosalind disappears easily in the colorful crowds of Ul'dah. From this inconspicuous vantage she is forever scanning her surroundings—sharp eyes taking in every detail. She is often unaware of the fact that her persistent staring unnerves those around her—most often, her customers.
x. Past
Rosalind has spent all of her years in Ul'dah.
x. Present
Called by the Unknown
With only vague and scattered memories of the many moons leading up to the Calamity, Rosalind lives an unsettled, fragmented life. She clings to written knowledge and spends much of her time engrossed in history books, recovered journals and magical theory. The more she submerges herself in the writings she finds, the more she becomes resigned to a belief that the answers she seeks may lie far beyond the gates of Ul'dah. She sleeps only to find restless dreams. What does the coming of the Seventh Umbral Era portend? Surely an even greater struggle—an even deeper misery—than has already befallen Eorzea. She looks up, out of the pages of her book, beyond the Gate of Nald. Her eyes begin to linger. What knowledge truly lies beyond the trade routes and scattered ruins of Thanalan?
x. Personality Traits
A deep desire to understand the nature of the world around her defines Rosalind.

- "The shopkeep? Always staring at me when I pass by to check her new stock. Don't ask her about the Calamity. You'll be standing out in the sun for hours while she goes on." — Customer
- "Oh, Rosa! Always something interesting to sell, if she doesn't keep it for herself. Or if she's even in the markets, for that matter. I'm always looking for her cart, but she seems to disappear for moons at a time, and without notice." — Lalafellin Customer
