**William Roseworth** is a human aristocrat and the owner of the Roseworth Research Institute in Arcadia, though he has nothing to do with the running of the facility.

## Background

William Roseworth is a member of the Arcadian aristocracy, born and raised on his family estate. He is the current patriarch of the family, succeeding his late father, William 'Bill' Roseworth. His mother, Evangeline Roseworth, still lives, though she has moved to live permanently with one of her cousins, fuelling rumours that she disapproves of her son's wife, Ceridwen.

He had a blessed upbringing, as a handsome young aristocrat, and mostly did as he pleased. He was particularly appealing to the young ladies of the court, as he never abused his position to lay about or play the womaniser. Unlike others in his position, there were no rumours that he instead preferred the company of the other young men - he had no romantic reputation at all. To his parents' dismay, he "married down" in adulthood, choosing to marry his best friend, Ceridwen. The rumour is that he knew she wanted to "marry up", but she was not particularly beautiful, and he cared so deeply for her happiness that he sacrificed his own. They have three children together, but their relationship still appears to many to be platonic.

He has a great love for the outdoors, and takes a personal interest in the maintenance of the grounds of his estate. He is also known to enjoy horse riding, reading outdoors, and taking long walks in the forest.

## Physical Appearance

William is tall and broad - though not quite as fit as he was in his youth, he still boasts more muscle than the average athlete, and keeps his brown hair and beard well-kempt. He has green eyes, though not the piercing emerald shade which his daughters possess. He dresses in finery, always, and chooses colours which compliment his pale skin.

## Personality

William is a relatively no-nonsense man, with a good head on his shoulders. He loves his family, the outdoors, and he meets every expectation of a man of his station. He believes this is all that he needs to do, and simply wishes to be left in peace. Having three daughters, however, this is not always feasible.

He struggles to relate emotionally to his daughters, having wished for a son.

## Family

William's father, whom he looked up to, is deceased, and his mother has since left the family to instead live with her cousin. He has a wife, Ceridwen, who is his best friend and closest confidant, as well as three daughters, Aurelia, Agatha, and Hettie. He slightly favours his second daughter, who is more inclined towards academia than the others, though he loves them all dearly. He ensures the family retain a good relationship with their distant relatives, the Roseates, and enjoys the benefits of this.
