I know a lot of people like the idea of Rose going down the adventurer path if she had lived, but I fully believe a living Rose would be a writer.
One of the only outlets in her life when she dies is writing. She doesn't let anything stop her, she searches for good coals, she'll wait until Sparrow is sleeping or occupied to write, she writes over her own drawings, she keeps her journal beside her bed, she makes up stories to keep her sibling entertained, Rose is a writer.
While the rest of her life she is fighting and clawing for survival, working to keep not only herself but Sparrow alive, her needs and wants are second to theirs. The only real thing she keeps, the only thing she has that isn't violently ripped from her.
I can see an adult Rose, occasionally maybe, leaving to adventure, maybe to learn new things for her stories, but with how dangerous Albion is, and how much shes gone through as a child, her being able to put all her energy into the one thing that has always been freeing for her? It would be the ultimate freedom. Less worries, easier access to materials, no more writing in the dark, or over things she already made.
Between the two of them, I think Sparrow is the adventurer in any timeline, and Rose the the creative that needed room to grow.
And instead, she snipped.
