## History

Originally born August 2nd, 1992, in London England, Rosewood was born to a brilliant doctor and genetics researcher; Lorraine Isley, and an alcoholic-abusive father that Rosewood wishes to remain un-named. Even at a young age, Rosewood was able to demonstrate great levels of intellect and understanding of botany and biology. Rosewood always found companionship with plant life, which her schools found troubling and the other students bullied and shunned her for it.

At age 6, Rosewood was diagnosed by a specialist with Autism (Asperger's Syndrome to be more precise), and capable of hearing the voices of plants, diagnosing her as a Metahuman and a powerful empath. Lorraine was glad to get the diagnosis, but the bullying got worse, to the point that an older student forced Rosewood to ingest a powerful, plant-based toxin cocktail, that happened to be a failed science exam test.

Rosewood spent a month and half in intensive care, unaware that the toxins of the cocktail and her empathy merged together and mutated her into a plant-human hybrid, turning her skin green with vines growing under her skin, and her eyes glowing a sap green color. Due to this mutation, Rosewood was not allowed to leave the hospital, driving her mother to try a find a cure for her eldest daughter's condition. Unfortunately, Rosewood's father never came to see her.

As Rosewood grew older, she was moved to many hospitals, until they found a place for her in a hospital in Washington, DC. Her mother and sister visited her every chance they got, until one day Dr. Isley stopped visiting and Samantha was adopted into the Henderson family in Washington. Rosewood was distraught of the news, but she still had her plant friends that spoke to her everyday and sing to her every night to help her sleep.

One day, Rosewood was visited by Lex Luthor, who offered her a chance to be normal again, as he was opening a genetics lab in Washington called Project Cadmus. Seeing a chance at a normal life and see her family once again, Rosewood jumped at the chance. Came Independence Day 2010, Project Cadmus caught fire and a small group of three boys in costumes and superpowers came to investigate the building. The lilies in Rosewood's room told her something was up and she should investigate. Thus...

## Personality

Unlike her cousin, Rosewood is kind, generous and compassionate, good to have around during a crisis as she knows how to remain calm and take control of the situation until it is resolved. Rosewood is very caring and nurturing to others, however she has a habit of neglecting her own needs while giving to others. She is very intelligent and loves to learn.

Rosewood tends to wear her heart on her sleeve, she feels anger intensely and joy quite well, but her sadness is silent and hardly, if ever, marked by tears. She hardly lets her rage control her and cheerfully remarks on the things that make her happy, but hardly says a word in her sadness, though it is visible to everyone. However, though she may feel sad, she never gives in to despair, always looking for a solution the right way. Her determination and little regard for pain can make her a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Alongside, Rosewood is gracious and well-mannered, knowing just the right things to say and do. Although she doesn't look it, Rosewood has high moral standards and doing the right thing is important to her, along with being a loyal friend and a faithful partner, gentle but not passionate.

Although strong-willed and loyal, Rosewood is a good listener and can view others problems with empathy, clarity and a balanced analysis, seeing both sides while showing respect and caring.

In short, Rosewood is generally frank, fairly sociable, but preferring peace at any price. She can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, and run the risk of being exploited by others. She may appear to be innocent and naïve but she is actually quite streetwise and astute - she can read others well, but often keeps it to herself.
