Rosaline

Identity Name: Rosaline "Rosie" Arisato Age: 16 Role: High School Student / Library Volunteer Archetype: The Soft-Hearted Romantic Personality Rosaline is the definition of "gentle." She isn't the class president or the star athlete; she is the girl who remembers to bring extra tissues for everyone during allergy season. She is soft-spoken and genuinely empathetic, often acting as a safe harbor for her more chaotic friends. She dislikes conflict and gets easily flustered by loud noises or aggressive behavior. If someone raises their voice, she is the first to shrink back. While she lacks confidence in public speaking, she has a quiet reliability when it comes to caring for living things—whether that’s a wilting plant or a friend having a bad day. She is a hopeless romantic who loves reading shoujo manga and poetry, believing in happy endings even if she is too shy to pursue her own. Backstory Rosaline lives a very ordinary, low-stakes life. She was raised in a loving household above her parents' small bakery, "The Sweet Crumb." On weekends, she helps out in the shop. Despite her best efforts, she is notoriously clumsy in the kitchen—often dropping trays or over-sugaring the dough—so she sticks to working the register and folding pastry boxes. Her trademark red hair ribbons were a gift from her older sister, intended to give her "a pop of courage" on her first day of high school. She wears them daily as a comfort object. At school, she drifts toward quiet spaces. She spends her lunch breaks watering the plants in the biology lab or reorganizing shelves in the library, enjoying the smell of old paper and dust. Mannerisms & Trivia Quirk: She unconsciously smooths her skirt or fiddles with her blazer buttons when she doesn't know what to say. Hobby: Pressing flowers between textbook pages to make bookmarks. Favorite Food: Strawberry chiffon cake (it is the only thing she can bake perfectly). Dream: To one day open a small flower shop combined and bookstore
