Personality

Daughter of the town's head of the education department, Rosalyn is a girl with big dreams and a bigger attitude. When she first arrives on the empty lot where Lakeside Prep would be, she is determined to make something out of this place.  And she does! Within a year the school has gone from an empty lot to a bustling institution full of students from all walks of life.

She's not afraid to throw away her morals for the sake of her school, being that she was willing to team up with her enemies to take down a bigger threat.

However, Rosalyn has a problem of spreading herself too thin. She's very generous to a fault. She's so focused on helping others that sometimes she forgets to help herself (her friends sometimes point this out)

Sometimes things just get too overwhelming for Rosalyn. Between helping her classmates out, her own school work and the additional high school drama, sometimes she dreads the next day not knowing what else she'll need to deal with next.

Rosalyn has the fear of her school closing and everything she'd worked so hard for would come to nothing. She's actually had a few close calls with both Max and Ace (there might be more but I haven't gotten that far in the game yet.) With Max she was less threatened by him because he's your typical school bully with predictable tactics.  But with Ace, it was different because someone she thought she trusted was sabotaging her from the inside out with no way to be able to stop it. It eats her up inside knowing that she's had two incredibly close calls and doesn't know how much more of this she can take.  She's only a high school student herself, after all!

Appearance

Rosalyn is an older teenager of Ghanaian descent from her father's side. Her hair is tied in two "bubble braids" that surround her face accompanied by two smaller braids decorated with heart shaped beads. She wears a white shirt with a heart on the top, a beige sweater, a red skirt with see-through ruffles, and sparkly white high heels.

Design Notes: The beads in her hair always correlate to the color of the outfit she wears.

Other Notes: Please don't draw or write nsfw content of Rosalyn, draw Rosalyn lighter or with loose curls,  draw ship art with Rosalyn (close friends only)

Relationships

Family

Addison Sinclair - Sister-In-Law   

Rosalyn and Addison have a rocky relationship being that the first time they meet, Addison is having Roscoe's child. Rosalyn initially didn't trust Addison, worried  The two grow closer over time however. Addison offers to take her and her friends shopping sometimes.

Alicia Rosaline Brinkwater - Niece   

Alicia is Rosalyn's neice and the daughter of Roscoe and Addison. Rosalyn adores her. Alicia may have gotten a bit attached to Rosalyn herself.

Raymond Brinkwater - Father     

Dr. Brinkwater is Rosalyn's father. He is the one who decided a school would open on an empty plot of land and that Rosalyn would get to build the school as she likes. He is incredibly doting on her but Rosalyn insists on wanting to be independent instead of always relying on her dad for help. He often doesn't know of the various misadventures Rosalyn gets up to with her friends because of this. It would probably break his heart.

Roscoe Brinkwater - Brother   

Roscoe is a student at Hollywood U and Rosalyn's brother. He and Rosalyn do not interact often due to Roscoe being very busy with his various projects, which makes Rosalyn a little sad. Things get even worse when Rosalyn finds out he's having a baby by his fiance Addison and never told Rosalyn about it until they came into town. Nevertheless, Rosalyn cares for her brother dearly and always writes to him while he's away at school, telling him all about the various misadventures she has at Lakeside Prep (the legal parts, anyways).

Ramona Mensah - Mother

Rosalyn doesn't know much about her mother aside from the fact that she apparently disappeared when she was very young. Rosalyn suspects foul play but says nothing to avoid upsetting her father and brother. She tried to investigate on her own but eventually gave up when all her leads brought her to dead ends and false alarms.

Lakeside Prep Classmates

Annie Edwards - Best Friend       

Annie is Rosalyn's childhood friend. They met in preschool and have been inseparable ever since. Annie is fiercely protective of Rosalyn an would do anything to keep her away from the people who hurt her.(Which is why she's initially wary of Ace when he transfers to Rosalyn's school, even more so when Rosalyn befriends him again and eventually becomes his girlfriend). She went to Berry High with Rosalyn and stayed there for part of her junior year before she transferred to Lakeside to be with Rosalyn.  She used to have a crush on Rosalyn but got over it and started dating someone else.

Autumn Brooks - Good Friend     

Autumn is the first person Rosalyn meets on the first day Lakeside Prep is supposed to open. She is also one of the first students that enrolled in Lakeside. The two are very close. Autumn has a crush on Rosalyn but it appears to be one-sided. Nevertheless, their relationship is very strong.

Bartholomew "Ace" De La Cruz - Boyfriend 

Ace used to be her campaign manager and senior advisor when Rosalyn ran for student district council. They worked together as close allies before someone from Lakeside Prep won the national internship Ace was working for. As revenge, he tried to get Rosalyn's school closed down but Rosalyn manages to talk him out of it. This came at the cost of Ace getting a district wide expulsion. He was set to be sent to a boarding school in Manila but Rosalyn decides to let Ace enroll at Lakeside Prep. The two have been working on repairing their relationship and eventually started dating months later. Since they've started dating, Ace is incredibly doting on Rosalyn. She adores him too.

Mia Warren - Best Friend      

Mia was initially antagonistic towards Rosalyn and her friends. However, when it came out that Mia was helping the Lakeside students avoid Hearst High's pranks, Rosalyn let her enroll at Lakeside. She helps Mia make amends with the people she hurt back at Hearst and eventually became good friends with them. Out of all Rosalyn's friends, Mia is the closest to Rosalyn due to their love of shopping and similar personalities. Rosalyn considers Mia like a little sister to her (much to Max's chagrin).

Payton Saunders - Best Friend      

Payton befriends Rosalyn after she helps Rosalyn throw a party at her school. The two are typically seen shopping together. At parties, one is rarely seen without the other (unless one of them is playing Seven Minutes in Heaven, that's an exception).

Wes Porter - Close Friend

Rosalyn and Aiden used to date at Rosalyn's old high school. She broke up with him unexpectedly and transferred after a particularly harrowing experience with a bully and could not tell him what happened. To this day, Aiden misses Rosalyn and wishes he knew why she ended their relationship so suddenly.

Jessica Nguyen  - Sworn Enemy

Jessica was Rosalyn's bully at her old high school. She used to pick on Rosalyn a lot, following her around at school to taunt her, dumping trash on her, and encouraging her friends to torment her. Eventually, the bullying got so bad that Rosalyn missed a lot of school near the end of the year just to avoid her. Jessica is currently dating Rosalyn's ex Aiden Zhou.

Backstory

Rosalyn Brinkwater was born May 4th, 1996 to Raymond Brinkwater and Ramona Mensah.

Early Life

A few years after Rosalyn was born, Ramona disappeared suddenly. Her father did everything he could to find her, but eventually she was presumed dead. Rosalyn was too young to remember much about her mother when she went missing. She continued to live with her dad and her brother Roscoe, who eventually moved to another town.

She met Annie Edwards when her father had her enrolled in a new preschool. Annie's headstrong personality and brashness drew the young girl to her. When the two of them got in trouble and were punished by their teacher, a friendship bloomed between them. They've gone to the same schools all their lives.

Berry High 

When Rosalyn started high school, she went to a school called Berry High . She joined the band and grew close to a band member named Aiden Zhou. The two eventually fell in love and started dating. They went to homecoming together and became official months later.

A girl named Jessica Nguyen transferred to Berry when Rosalyn was in her sophomore year and quickly became one of the popular kids. For some reason, she didn't like Rosalyn despite her attempts to befriend the girl and make her feel welcome in the school. Jessica soon made it her mission to make Rosalyn's life at Berry miserable. She did things in a way that Rosalyn could never prove that Jessica was behind her torment. Nevertheless, Rosalyn kept her head up and tried to enjoy school life the best that she could and avoided Jessica as much as she could.

One thing in particular Jessica targeted was Rosalyn's relationship with Aiden. She'd constantly tell Rosalyn that Aiden didn't actually like her, trying to get into her head. She threatened to do worse with Aiden if Rosalyn ever told him what Jessica was doing.

Things came to a head when Jessica locked Rosalyn in the dark janitors closet with the spiders from the science lab for several minutes. Then, when she managed to escape, someone shoved her and she tripped and fell into a suspiciously placed trash can in front of a bunch of her classmates. Rosalyn left school early that day, humiliated. Aiden never found out about what truly happened because he was absent on that day. He did, unfortunately, see the viral video of Rosalyn falling into a trash can.

Aiden came over to her house to talk to her a few days after the incident because he was concerned about Rosalyn missing school.  He assured her that an embarrassing moment at school wasn't the end of the world and that he was here for her if she needed anything from him. When he realized it wasn't just the earlier incident that was upsetting her enough, he gently pressed her for answers. Rosalyn refused to tell him what was wrong and broke up with him in an attempt to spare his feelings. When she found out Aiden was dating Jessica now, she left the school and never came back. 

Present Day

Now, Mr.Brinkwater happened to be in the process of opening a new school on an empty lot in town. When Rosalyn refused to return to Berry High, he suggested that she be the very first student to attend the new school. To cheer her up, he let her have a lot of creative control over how the school would be built and what it would look like.  This was a new start for Rosalyn, a chance to remake herself. She worked on becoming  more confident in herself and changed up her looks a bit. She refused to let anyone else ever push her around like Jessica did ever again.

Rosalyn pretty much runs the school on her own, handling admissions, helping out students, all while juggling the many trials and tribulations of high school.
