IT'S IN THE BLOOD...
Ro Chalewae, the only child of Ria Chalewae and Sehko'to Ruseko, was reared deep within the Twelveswood of the Black Shroud. Born to take on the role of Matron of her tribe, only instead to see it dismantled. By the Weaver's will, her birth heralded the downfall of a centuries old bloodline... A pox, whose treachery would be wiped from the star by her hand. Treachery she would not learn of until many winters into her life... After so much loss.. After years of struggle. After trials, from the ashes of which bloomed a Rose.Ro's childhood was spent like many other young Keepers of the Moon. Learning the way of the woods. How to hunt, forage, and read the land. Learning to survive on her own. Learning the skills necessary to survive in a world ever changing. A life that was peaceful, until the day that changed her life. The day her father returned to the tribe and stole her away from the Twelveswood. The day he died, and Ro set out to carry on his spirit as an adventurer. As Rose Chohako.Years and years passed, where Rose honed her skills. Her mind singularly set on a single task. To become strong enough to end her father's killer. A miqo'te man whom she did not recognize. Full of rage and rancor that she'll never forget. That she never wants to feel again. Anger that left its mark upon her face, in a revenge served on ice. Another day of change. One that set Rose onto the path of becoming who she is today. Mild mannered, stoic, and so in control of herself. Or is it really her past, that's in control of her?

... walks in shadows
Distant and quiet to strangers, warm and welcoming to friends. Rose is often withdrawn, spending her time away from the hustle and bustle of crowds within and without the cities of the realm.Across Etheirys, Rose drifts from settlement to settlement, taking on the work she knows best. Slaying beasts for coin. Effective and deadly, she is notorious in some circles for working alone.
Many regard Rose as a work-a-holic. Even when she appears to be setting idle, the Keeper finds herself plotting her next steps. If only she'd slow down...In conversation, Rose is quick witted and dry. Though that does not mean she is difficult to talk to. Often times, the right words will cause her to be more forthcoming, and willing to speak her mind. Those who chat long enough find her to be compassionate and caring through even the smallest gestures.
A myriad of thorns...
SHROUD ORPHAN — Rose left her tribe in the Shroud at the age of 14. In those teen years, she spent her time in Gridania proper. Often she kept her head low, due to the strained relationships of Keeper tribes with the citizens of the city. Maybe you knew her from that time in Gridania? Before she settled into the life of adventure.CAREER ADVENTURER — A monster huntress for hire, Rose's name populates many hunting circles. Whether it be the Adventurer's Guild proper, the Hunt clans, Leve boards, or bounty distributors... Rose's reputation precedes her in terms of skill and disposition. Murmurs say that this slayer is particular with the work she takes on, and avoids raising her blade against her fellow Spoken.A WILD ROSE — Those who are sensitive to aether might notice that Rose's seems thin- suppressed. But perhaps intentionally so. People with stronger senses could detect (with effort) that her aether is incredibly dense and healthy. This makes her blood very viable for rituals, and causes her to be a favored target of Voidsent.LIVING SHADOW — A familiar lurks underfoot, hiding within the steps of its ashen-haired owner. Quiet and still in most cases, one might occasionally notice her shadow change or move, independently of Rose. A harmless aetheric construct, but a companion none-the-less. When Rose thinks she's alone, she may be caught conversing with her shadow, though it never seems to answer...BETWEEN WORLDS — No matter where Rose might be, she feels as if she's an outsider. Whether at home in the Shroud, traveling through the city states, or chasing her Eastern heritage... Her upbringing left her awkwardly outside of traditions she'd have learned in what most would consider her culture. Always on the outside, looking in...
