Rose Forrest

## Background

### 1997 - 2011: Rhosyn Forrest

Born in the wee hours of New Year's of 1997, her parents felt that was destined for great things. Rhosyn is the daughter of Daniel Forrest, a Metropolis police officer & Elizabeth Forrest, a business executive at LuthorCorp. Rose was always accompanied by one of her parents at almost any given time. Right after school, her mother picked her up & brought her back to the office. Then she would get dropped at the police station with her father as her mother was attending night school to get a promotion. Growing up, she constantly told them that her dream was to be a businesswoman during the day then fight crime as a police officer at night.

Rose's daily routine was broken one night. Her mother had finished with night school so as a celebration, her father got someone to cover his shift so they could all go out to dinner. Returning home, Rose was put to bed but woke back up to hear a commotion downstairs. Sneakily coming down the stairs, Rose saw both her parents murdered by the Yakuza, leaving her traumatized for life.

### 2011 - 2014: Rose Forrest

Rose was then taken in by her godfather, Uncle Curtis, following the deaths of her parents. Already having some training, Rose took lessons for the next year at the Wildcat Gym under the legendary Ted Grant.

At the same time, she was doing her best to investigate the murders of her parents as it still remained unsolved. Eventually, Rose found the killer, going by the name of Mr. Quince. She broke into his home undetected, bested him in a fight then mutilated him by cutting off his right hand, the same one used to pull the trigger that killed her parents.

Following her actions, Rose was placed in psychiatric care as Curtis was worried that she wasn't handling the death of her parents. Rose constantly flew into blind rages during her time there. To help repress her violent tendencies, Dr. Chritlow used an unethical experimental treatment on Rose. Chritlow believed he was successful in his treatment but instead, all her hidden emotions bunched up to create three other personalities; Thorn, Wild Rose & Mom. Rose was then released, with the doctors believing her to be better as she appeared to be a submissive & calm girl.

### 2014 - Present: Thorn

Upon her release, the Thorn personality slowly began to take over as the dominant personality, turning Rose into a vigilante with the primary goal of ending the Yakuza. As she continued on her quest to avenge her parents, she discovered that her own godfather Curtis Leland had been secretly taking bribes from the Yakuza & was unable to stop her parents' death. She realized that is wasn't love that made him take her in but guilt.

Soon, Leland found himself in the same vicinity as Rose & Quince. While Leland tried to prevent Quince from killing Rose, Quince himself was killed after falling on Rose's dropped sickle. Turning back to her uncle, she saw that he was stabbed & slowly bleeding out. Rose fled the scene, not wanting to be associated with what had transpired. Police later found a full confession in his pocket admitting to his crimes that allowed the police to take down the Yakuza.

Rose essentially disappeared in all the commotion, feeling as though she had been through enough to last her a lifetime. She eventually was found hiding out at the Wildcat Gym. Rose was soon get recruited into the Birds of Prey by none other than Black Canary, who decided to take on a sisterly role to the orphaned girl. With some help from the younger heroes, Rose also joined The Team & got a job at Bowhunter Security.

Since joining the Birds, Rose has been involved in a flirtatious & playful relationship with Harper Row. Though Rose assumed it to be a joke, Harper has begun to show a real interest.
