Overview
Location: Seattle, WA
Name: Jamilah Rossetti, called Rose
Apparent Age: Probably in her 30s
Entitlement: None as of this writing
Mask: Short and rather sturdy, with pale olive skin, dark violet hair, and intense green eyes. One couldn't in truth say that she is pretty, but there is something about her that draws attention anyway.
Mien: Her mien and mask aren't all that different, except that her true form appears to have carved from a single piece of beechwood, sanded but not polished, and then dressed by eccentric art students. Her clothes are best described as 'global eclectic'.
Mantle: She smells like a rose garden after spring rain, and when she walks, flower petals spring up in her path.

Character Information
"For once there was an unknown land full of strange flowers and subtle perfumes,
a land of which it is a joy of all joys to dream, a land where all things are perfect and poisonous."
—Oscar Wilde as filtered through Velvet Goldmine
Known History
Basic Timeline: Born in Seattle 1976, Taken and Returned to Seattle in Summer 2005, Went to San Francisco in 2006, Returned to Seattle 2008
Background: If asked, she would eventually admit to having been a chemistry student before she was taken to... that place. Studying the nature of smell and the craft of perfume. It was a long time ago. No longer of a mood to discuss that part of the past, thank you. She has been on the world-side of the Hedge since August of 2005, finding herself back in Seattle. She found herself crafting props and 'atmosphere' for The Quill, a fringe theater specializing in what she calls "a beautiful and terrible fae Grand Guignol". In February 2006, she left Seattle for San Francisco, no reason given. In June 2008 she went back to Seattle, but hasn't been seen socially.
