#roswitha

Yes absolutely she does!

Roswitha has a major fear of losing the people she cares about and being unable to do anything about it. It's one of the reasons why she so desperately tried living in solitude forever, thinking that this would simply be easier than caring about someone and having them ripped away from her again!

It definitely stems from the death of her former girlfriend, only learning about it after it already happened made her feel powerless and weak, not even getting the chance to do anything about it or try saving her. So I'd say loss is definitely her biggest fear!

Merlinde and Hedda are sisters! They also had two other siblings, Merlinde being the oldest and Hedda being the youngest. Merlinde used to be Roswitha's Girlfriend when Roswitha was in her 20s. She was a witch and generally just a sweet woman all around, very kind and caring. She was known to speak with a very soft voice and basically always having a smile on her face. She was later on arrested and executed for witchcraft, leaving behind two of her younger siblings. Ah the old days, truly a time to be a woman doing anything at all. Hedda survived the situation but her grief sort of ate her up inside over years and years. And trying to find a way to cope or any sort of outlet, she just started to blame Roswitha for it all. Hedda gets turned into a vampire in her adulthood, having searched out that chance to give herself more time and more power to find Roswitha and bring her down. Hedda has grown to be a bit of a snob in modern times, she likes expensive and shiny things and cares a lot about herself and herself only really. She has an intense hatred for the church for what they did to her sister and an intense hatred for Roswitha due to blaming her for her sisters death. Roksana came from a poor family and has always struggled in life that led her to paths she isn't proud of, including the job she had at the time. She eventually gets turned into a vampire against her will, mourning the loss of her humanity while being under someones control. Roksana is a bit of a gloomy person, she doesn't smile or talk a lot. But she's really nice once you really get to know her! Ysabel on the other hand came from a very wealthy family and she never really missed anything in her life. She studied medicine, had a wealthy boyfriend and was generally liked by her peers. She knows Roksana, becomes her friend and eventually has to struggle with the fact she actually fell in love with her. Ysabel is very sweet, bubbly and a bit of a chatterbox.

I think she's not a big holiday person and doesn't celebrate them really. But she would tolerate being dragged into celebrating by people she likes! She would enjoy just spending time with them, even if she doesn't entirely get the tradition/s of the specific days :D

For Valentines Day specifically I imagine she would deny liking it and call it cheesy, but deep down she thinks it's sweet seeing so many people embrace their love for each other openly and carefree. Especially because she struggles with it quite severely at the start!
