Bio:
Rosaline's actual parents did not live long lives.
Her father ran off after he found out her mother was pregnant, dying by a policeman's bullet in an alley while making a drug deal. Her Russian mother was homeless and wandered the streets begging until she was rushed to the hospital while out asking for money five years after Rosaline was born. She died that night on the hospital bed after suffering from a fatal brain disease brought about by AIDS.
Rosaline woke up the next morning in the deserted warehouse in New York the two of them had been staying in alone. She was not on her own for long, though. Hours after she left the warehouse, a policeman took her to the police station and then later an orphanage. Once she was cleaned up and clothed decently, it was easy to see why she didn't stay there for long. She had a pale, round face and deep brown hair that cradled her features. Paired with large pools of amber for eyes and rosy lips, she looked eerily charming, feminine, and doll-like.
A wealthy couple that was incapable of having their own child quickly took Rosaline home with them. They cared for her and let her grow her hair out long and wavy, clothing her in dresses, skirts, and everything girly. As she grew older, it was apparent that even though she was quite pretty, she wasn't interested in feminine things.
When she was twelve, she tried cutting her own hair, which led to her foster parents hiding anything that would allow her to do it again. Rosaline used a lighter she found outside to burn her dolls and almost set her entire bed on fire. All her friends were male and she would rip up any clothes before wearing them. Her parents were trying to contain her by homeschooling her, but that only made her worse. At sixteen, she was sneaking out to buy guy's clothes, cut her hair, and party all night. She wasn't rebellious or bad - she never stole, drank, or did drugs - but she just didn't want to be so feminine.
Once she turned eighteen, Rosaline was struggling hard to be what her parents wanted her to. She needed to find a way to get out, and fast. It came in the form of a rich boyfriend her father wanted her to be with: Mark. Of course, like any other man, he was completely stunned by her breathtaking beauty. The dark, sleek, and wavy hair that fell to the middle of her back; the wide, mysterious honey flavored eyes that glinted with complex emotions, framed by thick black lashes; the pale, flawless skin and perfect lips; and the wispy, graceful figure one would only think they would see in a ballerina.
Eager to please his friend's daughter, the suitor gave her everything she wanted. Or everything that she was pretending to want. To sugar coat her false happiness for her parents, she asked him for lavish, frilly clothes and accessories and high quality makeup. Then, he proposed to her. Of course, all as a part of her plan, she said yes. And just like that, he asked her the question she had really wanted to hear.
"Where do you want to go?"
Rosaline started studying all the places she would have liked to "visit" - her true intentions carefully concealed all the while. She finally decided on Japan, and off they went. After several days spent with him, she finally disappeared into the bright Osakan night and slept over at a hotel, taking with her only the huge load of money her boyfriend had given her to spend on clothes. She was not interested in him and never had been; she really wasn't interested in men at all. Since she didn't know any Japanese [or any part of the culture, for that matter], she simply introduced herself to everyone she met until a shy, yet highly intelligent college boy who could speak English and was won over by her devastating looks and her charisma.
Naoki's parents had paid the first few months of his fairly large apartment's rent in Kyoto when college started, but he was not able to afford it anymore and was about to get kicked out. Rosaline offered to help pay if she could room with him, and he agreed, thinking he had succeeded in scoring a gorgeous gaijin girlfriend. After the first few nights, she proved him wrong loud and clear. She cut her hair short, began to wear casual men's wear, and brought home a different lady friend two nights in a row. Figuring it was useless, he let her be and she was finally able to be who she wanted to be. Though she was embarrassing to him at times, [leading his friends into his apartment to stumble upon a bra-less, wife beater and baggy jeans clad nearly six-foot tall, short-haired woman searching his kitchen for food wasn't exactly the best idea Naoki ever had] they became close friends and played video games all the time.
Being the computer illiterate, Japanese illiterate girl she is, Rosaline stumbled upon a video game website while searching the internet. A few random clicks and she was delivered to a page with a person's silhouette surrounded by Japanese characters and exclamation marks. The only words in English:
"KUREHA :: SHINING WIND"
Unknown to her, she had just found a secret page on the site that granted her a pre-designed character to enter "The World R : X" with. With a few more clicks and help from Naoki, she was set to play...
