Name: Rosie Wilson
Age: 15
Where are they originally from?: most immediately, Anterwold in the fifth year of the Accession, but saying Oxford, 1960 is easier, so.
How long have they been in Darrow?: since April 2018
What kind of places do they frequent (work, home, etc.)?: Lives at the Children's Home and is Deeply Unhappy about it; attends Petros High (has also been taking remedial classes over the summer to get up to speed as she arrived in Darrow close to the end of the last school year, which she's rather embarrassed about); can otherwise be found mostly at the library, the museum, or in the park.
How might others know of them?: If they lived/used to live in the Children's Home back when she arrived (or otherwise encountered her during her debut), they proooobably remember her as the weirdly-calm-about-being-in-Darrow girl who showed up in a glittery blonde wig and a fancy gown? Other than that, she's been keeping to herself a lot.
Do they have any special or unusual skills or hobbies? Is being eminently practical an unusual skill? She's also more familiar with the idea of wandering into a different world (or with the idea of doppelgangers) than you'd expect your average teen from 1960s England to be, so I guess that's something. Decent at snooping. A passably good singer.
Is there anything you want to accomplish with them, that you haven't had the chance to? Or, is there any other information about them you think might be relevant? After her birthday next month, I'd love for Rosie to find a part-time job somewhere, or start up an odd-jobs/petsitting business on her own--in canon, she took care of her neighbors' pets and also did a lot of housekeeping/errandy things for her own family. Now that my hectic summer is over and I am back (yaaay), also I want to get Rosie out there a bit more in general!
​​List any characters you might want to thread with (specific or gener​​al): All the teens! Residents of the Children's Home. Other highschoolers. Guys who might flirt with her, even though she wouldn't know what to do if anyone ever did. Time travellers (she has a vague sense that wherever or whatever Anterwold is, it was sometime in the future, but she's not sure when). People who like jazz. Other people from (roughly) her own time. Academic types who don't mind being glommed onto by an extremely curious teenage girl. Interesting women who also don't mind being glommed onto by an easily impressed teenage girl. Everyone and anyone, really.
