Hello everyone! This is Rosalie Ortega, better known as Rosie, who will be on both the soccer and field hockey teams (co-captain for the field hockey team, I think) in addition to ski/snowboarding club and drama club. She is the second child and only adopted daughter of Rafe and Elena, who took her in when she was three. Rosie does not know or remember her birth parents, nor does she have any desire to know who they are. She has one older brother, Xavier, who is attending Salt Lake Community College with no real direction in his life, which doesn't surprise anyone considering the majority of his high school career was spent in and out of detention. In any case, most of the classmates might not even be aware that she has a mother, as Elena is a tobacco lobbyist who travels all over the country. Instead, Rafe more than makes up for this in infamy as proud owner of one of the city's adult novelty stores - bringing together middle aged businessmen and just turned eighteen year olds across the board. Rosie doesn't mind her father's occupation all that much and is fairly desensitized to the whole thing, though even she has to admit it still stings when people call her family immoral and a bunch of sinners because of how they make a living. As far as personality goes, she's very much a tomboy. She's always been the type that prefers rolling in the mud or playing outside with her basketball hoop than taking shopping trips, and has gone to all semi-formal dances in pants instead of dresses. Rosie is also extremely passionate about the things she's interested in, and on the flip side extremely apathetic about the things she isn't interested in (case in point: school work). Generally she has a pretty laid back demeanor, though can have a bad habit of trying to make every situation about her trying to be funny if she's in the right mood to press her luck. She also has the ability of getting in over her head without thinking much about it, but will never ask for help, even if she desperately needs it. On the dating scene Rosie tends to be more oblivious to the idea that anyone would actually want to date her than she really should be, so she hasn't had much experience (which is ironic when you consider she's usually the first to throw in her two cents about relationship advice before anyone else). Financially speaking her family is comfortable: neither rich nor terribly poor, either. Her parents can take their kids on vacations during the summer time and during school breaks along with other things. But, unfortunately, being comfortable doesn't always mean that you have a lot of money to throw around. So in order to get her own play money, Rosie picked up a job and now works the Drive Thru at Taco Bell on weekends, usually during the closing shifts where she has to decipher whether the person was slurring "Extra sauce" or "The beef is boss".
In terms of what I'm looking for, one or two close friends... maybe even very feminine girls to contrast her would be cool. Other friends who don't mind Tim Burton movie marathons, her inexplicable love for Jane Austen, and not mind riding in the back of her unmarked white van. One or two exes would be interesting as well, and maybe a cousin through her mother that has morally righteous parents. Other than that, I'm up for brainstorming! So if you have any ideas, let me know and we can try to work something out.
