history

Born and raised in Hanto Magnata, into a middle-class family of Architects, Rosemarie was forced to survive and adapt within the confines of both an oppressive system and family. She learned to carefully regulate her behavior, keep her head down, and stay as polite as possible. In her teens, she and her best friend at the time started sending each other coded messages, allowing her a form of expression she didn't have elsewhere. But as she grew older and was urged into a bureaucratic position in the Architect's Company, she and her friend grew apart, and Rosemarie had to learn new tactics to keep up with office politics.

Then, the system Rosemarie had so carefully tailored herself to adapt to collapsed in a fiery conflagration. Along with thousands of other evacuees, she fled the ruins of her home and tried, for a time, to start anew in the Offshore Colony. As the power of the Golden Era grew, however, threatening to bring back the oppressive days of old, Rosemarie looked to the mainland for escape.

Her ship arrived in Seajewel, and Rosemarie spent a month or two getting adjusted and improving her Mainlander. She sought work with the Archaeologist's Guild, and, when an assignment had her travel to Wellstone, she unexpectedly found herself enamoured with the place, and decided to stay. She found a position as something along the lines of a secretary, not far off from her original profession, and began to settle in.
