## Background

Rosalind is an artistically gifted girl, and is often seen in her spare time drawing or painting. She is known as one of the "Art girls" alongside Agatha, who specialise in art of the shipping variety. Rosalind tends to be the one to push for various events in town that promote the arts, but rarely manages to bring much attention to herself. People sometimes don't notice she exists in a room, as she sits there quietly drawing cute boys doing romantic things together.

Rosalind wants to become a proper recognised artist in the future, and is working on her own webcomic. However, she is too shy to actually upload it to a site for people to read, so it just stays on her computer and tablet. She tends to hit roadblocks on ideas for what direction to take her webcomic, so will often look to the strange happenings and characters in North Park for inspiration.

## Appearance

Rosalind has long dark straight hair with bangs brushed to the right. She wears a purple beanie with a black t-shirt over a purple long sleeved shirt and black fingerless gloves. She often carries around a notebook and pencil for sketching.

## Personality

Rosalind is a deeply romantic person, in that she loves fantasising about romance usually between two other people. This is known as shipping, and she creates many little stories in her head about various relationships between her classmates that inspire her art. She can be reluctant to share these feelings with others however. In contrast to Agatha who is very open about her degeneracy, Rosalind tends to be more timid and keeps to herself about her fantasies. Rosalind likes the solitude that being overlooked gives her to freely pursue her interests, but genuinely likes art and wishes to pursue a career revolving around it in the future. This is worrying for her, with the fear that she will continue to be overlooked as a creator for her whole life, preventing her from gaining the recognition from the art world that she craves.

Her deep desire for romance and her lifestyle leads to her having imagined intimacy with others. While in her fantasies two students are deeply in love and she gets to experience all aspects of their relationship, in real life those two other students don't even know each other that well. Every now and again this reality hits Rosalind, and leads to her having periods of sadness as she realises how lonely she is. She continues to fill the void of her own loneliness and lack of intimacy by drawing more art of cute boys being in love and kissing.

## Family

#### Rosalind's Parents

Both of Rosalind's parents come for artistic backgrounds, so its easy to see where Rosalind's talent came from. However, both of them can't manage to wrap their heads around Rosalind's fascination with shipping. They ask her if the people she likes to draw know that she is drawing them that way, and that she'd be better off applying her talent in a more meaningful way. This upsets Rosalind who believes her art to be very meaningful to her, and can at times be a rift in her relationship with her parents. They ultimately want what is best for her, they want their daughter to go out and make meaningful relationships with others instead of just fantasising about other people being in relationships. However their lack of understanding of her interests and of shipping culture just leads to them accidentally insulting Rosalind and making her feel worse about herself. They love how talented their daughter is, they just wish she'd apply it in what they consider a better way.

#### Laura Fairweather

Laura Fairweather was the name of Rosalind's aunt, her mother's sister who died during her childhood. Because of this Rosalind only knows about her from what her mother tells her and old faded photographs, where Laura actually looked quite a lot like Rosalind. Rosalind wonders what it would have been like if she didn't disappear from her mother's life, and has no idea that the strange, weirdly damp younger girl who is sometimes seen around town could possibly be her.

## Relationships

#### Agatha

Agatha is Rosalind's closest thing to a friend. They are both self proclaimed fujos, who enjoy and sometimes share art and ideas in regards to their shipping. Rosalind tends to prefer the more flowery romantic side of shipping, while Agatha is into the more messed up taboo aspects of it. This leads to some clashes of values between the two artists, as well as Agatha putting down Rosalind, as if she was less of a fujo than she is. They sometimes also have disagreements on which ships are better than others, which leads them to have some what of a frenemy status. While Rosalind likes having a fellow artist to discuss shipping with, she does sometimes find Agatha to be too mean to her, or too creepy in her shipping. However she tends to keep quiet about these opinions, as she doesn't really want to upset Agatha and lose one of her art friends who she can actually be open about her shipping tendencies with.

#### Hansel

Rosalind and Hansel first met after being paired together for an art project. Rosalind joked about Hansel's poverty making him just like her, a "struggling artist". Hansel immediately became fascinated with Rosalind and the idea of being an artist after this comment, and decided to try becoming an artist himself. Hansel began creating these awful sculptures out of trash, while Rosalind had her own art project planned. Eventually, North Park townsfolk started falling in love with Hansel's sculptures, interpreting them in ways Hansel never intended them to be interpreted. Chaz and Melville started selling the sculptures under Hansel's name to make money, and soon the "Homeless Sculptures" were getting their very own art show. This made Rosalind incredibly jealous, and for her to angrily lash out at Hansel for ruining things by taking all the attention away from real artists with Talent. Hansel, heartbroken after being told he isn't a real artist, decided to put an end to his art show. He then went out of his way to dig through Rosalind's trash and find her own discarded artwork, and decided to put together his own makeshift art gallery showing off Rosalind's art in an attempt to get her the recognition she craved. The art gallery was a success, and Rosalind found herself getting commissions from kids at school, who told her about the gallery Hansel put together. After that Rosalind apologised to him for saying he wasn't a real artist, and after they both realised they still had to finish the art project for class, worked together to use both their skills and produce something to hand in to the teacher the next day. After this story, Rosalind now considers Hansel to be one of her friends.
