Personality:

Rosella is a sharp and determined girl who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Widely known for her perfectionism and concern with appearances, she is always carefully put together and highly conscious of how others perceive her. She takes great pride in her beauty and presentation, and can sometimes be overly critical because of her high standards. Despite this, Rosella tries to keep an open mind and is willing to admit when she has judged someone too quickly, learning from her mistakes whenever she can.

Although she loves gardening and has a strong affinity for earth magic, Rosella is terrified of soil, mud, and dirt. Coming into unnecessary contact with them causes her genuine distress, often sending her into a panic until she is able to properly clean herself again. Her obsession with cleanliness and order contrasts heavily with her love for cultivating flowers, creating one of the more contradictory aspects of her personality.

Despite her vanity and sharp tongue, Rosella is deeply loyal and caring toward the people around her. She is affectionate with her friends, supportive of those struggling with insecurity, and willing to offer advice even to people who are not particularly kind to her. At the same time, she refuses to quietly accept insults or disrespect, believing nobody should have to endure being treated poorly without standing up for themselves.

Backstory:

Rosella was born from a human father and a nature fae mother, raised by her parents and grandmother inside the family's flower shop. Surrounded by bouquets, flower arrangements, and customers coming and going every day, she spent most of her childhood learning about plants long before she could properly care for them herself. The shop quickly became her favorite place in the world. Even now, one of her greatest dreams is to inherit it and continue the family business, preserving the place where so many of her happiest memories were made.

Growing up, Rosella was taught to be kind to everyone, but never at the expense of herself. Her family believed that compassion was important, but so were boundaries. If someone treated her poorly, she was expected to stand up for herself rather than quietly endure it. As a result, Rosella grew into a caring and affectionate girl who genuinely enjoys helping others, but who is also perfectly willing to speak her mind whenever she feels something is unfair.

Living in a flower shop also shaped many of Rosella's habits, some more unusual than others. She developed a strong appreciation for beauty and presentation from an early age, becoming someone who takes great pride in her appearance and enjoys looking her best whenever possible. At the same time, she became increasingly particular about cleanliness. Despite her love for gardening, Rosella has always been deeply uncomfortable around dirt, mud, and anything with similar textures. The contradiction is not lost on her. She adores flowers, but would greatly prefer if they grew without soil.

As she grew older, Rosella became known for having exceptionally high standards, both for herself and for the people around her. She could be critical at times, especially when first impressions were involved, and she often expected others to put as much effort into things as she did. Being beautiful certainly brought Rosella plenty of attention over the years, but surprisingly little romantic experience. She never lacked admirers, yet none of them ever managed to hold her interest for very long. Rosella knew her own worth and refused to enter relationships simply because someone happened to like her. She wanted sincerity, commitment, and someone she could genuinely see a future with. If that meant waiting longer than everyone else, then so be it.

Today, Rosella attends Ever After Institute, where she continues to dedicate herself to gardening and the study of earth magic. Though many people initially notice her beauty, those who know her best understand there is much more beneath the surface: a loyal friend, a hardworking student, and a young woman determined to build a future for herself without ever compromising the values she was raised with.

Relationships With Other Characters:

♡ Jade Leech: When Rosella and Jade first met, their introduction quickly led to a courtship that, despite never being officially defined, became a constant in both of their lives. The two share countless dates, conversations, and outings, with Jade showing a level of interest and consistency that keeps Rosella firmly by his side. Over time, he grew so accustomed to her presence that he began unconsciously including her in his future plans, never realizing how long he had left things undefined. Though Rosella remained patient for a long time, she is beginning to grow frustrated with the lack of commitment, wondering how much longer she should wait for Jade to finally define what they are to each other.

Floyd Leech: Rosella keeps a watchful eye on Floyd due to his sudden attachment to her childhood friend, Sylvia. His chaotic energy and unpredictable mood swings seem completely at odds with Sylvia's calmer demeanor, leaving Rosella constantly questioning his intentions. Floyd, meanwhile, finds Rosella's reactions amusing and remains completely unfazed by her scoldings. He frequently teases her by calling her "Clownfish," a nickname Rosella despises, believing it is a jab at the undefined nature of her relationship with Jade. In reality, Floyd chose the nickname for a much simpler reason: her colorful makeup and polished appearance reminded him of a clownfish, not as an insult, but simply because it felt fitting to him.

Rook Hunt: Rosella gets along surprisingly well with Rook. As fellow members of the science club, she often relies on his help with tasks that involve carrying heavy materials or getting too close to dirt, while Rook never misses an opportunity to compliment the effort she puts into her appearance and work. Though his unusual behavior can be unsettling to others, Rosella finds his presence pleasant and easy to be around. On occasion, Rook also seeks her advice regarding matters involving someone dear to him, and despite not always sharing his opinions, Rosella does her best to help, knowing how sincere his feelings are.
