=== Character Description ===
Rosalind is a woman shrouded in mystery. She arrived in Bessardie some years ago as a traveller. Even back then she would not speak of her past or reveal anything about herself except for her first name. Despite this, Rosalind's talent for divination made her very sought after by the townspeople and she is a trusted and key member of the community. 
She is calm and collected, non-judgemental and yet her divinations always seem to leave her clients with more questions and problems than they solve.
The following is "Restricted Knowledge". See Availability of Information for details.
 Unknown to the townspeople, Rosalind is a powerful servant of Nefaria, the Princess of Dread. While she presents herself as a fortune teller and offers her services to those seeking guidance, her true agenda is to sow fear and anxiety among the townspeople, feeding Nefaria's insidious power. Rosalind possesses genuine divination abilities, allowing her to provide accurate readings and predictions. However, she uses her knowledge strategically, manipulating her clients' fears and insecurities to amplify their anxieties. She carefully chooses her words to instill doubt and apprehension, creating a sense of dependency on her services. Under Nefaria's influence, Rosalind subtly encourages the townspeople to make decisions that reinforce their fears, leading them down paths of despair and desperation. She is skilled at uncovering and exploiting their vulnerabilities, using her insights to deepen their anxieties and fuel Nefaria's power. While Rosalind appears calm and composed on the surface, a keen observer may notice a flicker of satisfaction or a slight smirk whenever fear takes hold in her clients. She delights in the turmoil she creates, revelling in the emotional turmoil she stokes among the townspeople.
