## Early Life

Born Rosily Alabaster, in Michigan on a nicely sized farm her parents bred and raised hunting dogs. Sold to local hunters to assist in their hunting the family had been doing so for generations. Eldest of the Alabaster children her parents had always been very strict and controlling with her. Rosily had a hard time accepting the controlling nature of her parents resenting them and their tight grip on her life. Her only real time of relaxation was when she took care of the dogs, of her daily chores taking care of the dogs was her favorite. It was a time her parents would not often bother her so as not to disturb some of the training she did with the dogs. Though given a lot of freedom with her time caring for the dogs she would sneak out to help with hunting training. Taking some of her favorites of the dogs to train their hunting skills, something her father was very much against. Even at a young age Rosily was a skilled hunter, her younger brother teaching her necessary things which she quickly caught onto. Her brother Woodward was her only real human support back home though younger he was given a lot of responsibility by their father. He would do his best to teach her any hunting skills his father taught him so she could learn. Her father had it stuck in his head a mans place was to hunt and a woman was to be a homemaker.

When Rosily reached the age of 16 her parents came to the decision she would marry the son of a local farming family who was close to her age. This marriage would form a partnership between the families which would make both a lot of money. Rosily's parents seeing more worth in selling their daughters happiness then seeing her happily creating her own future pushed hard for the marriage. Fearing the complete loss of control in her own life Rosily gathered her courage, taking any and all money she had saved up. Leaving a note behind for her brother so he would at least know she would be safe. In the dead of night with whatever she could fit in a single bag she ran off to the train station and rode as far as she could.

Not caring much for the location Rosily traveled from place to place for some time, lacking much in people skills she didn't tend to make friends and kept to herself. After all this time of traveling Rosily eventually made it to the State of New Elizabeth, arriving at Valentine train station.

## **Life In New Elizabeth**

Arriving from Valentine train station young Rosily was very shy about a new life in a bustling town, she focused on getting on her feet. One of her first stops being Valentine's stables where a kind man stopped her. This man was Cassidy Allison, unknown to her at the time he was one of the town doctors and was often kind to new individuals in town. She had just purchased a horse that wasn't that great, when she informed him of what horse she had bought he quickly handed her $100. Informing her she should instead purchase a painted horse as it would most likely get her around a bit better. After he gave her a bit more cash and the two parted. He had been the first person she really had spoken to in town and appreciated his kindness.

Not too long after this Rosily met a Mr. Drew Peters, the town's Mayor at the time. He was leaving for one of his well known canoe trips and offered a spot to her on their wagon to join, as she was new and didn't know anyone. This was a fun trip and she quickly became friends with Drew and the others who attended this trip. The time after this was filled with fun adventures with Drew and her other friends. One of these friends was Mr. Cassidy Allison, the first person she had met in town. One day while relaxing in town with her friends Drew pulled her aside, wanting to speak to her about a private matter. He informed her that Cassidy had an interest in her and was wondering if she felt the same, Rosily shared that she did in fact fancy him. He had always been kind to her and was funny, someone she wouldn't mind getting closer to. Not too long after this Cassidy and Rosily shared their feelings for one another and a relationship blossomed. After time the two married, their wedding taking place in the 'lavender' fields surrounded by their friends.

Time passed more friends were made, Rosily and Cassidy started to build a family. With this their son Percival Allison was born, delivered by the now Head Doctor Cassidy. Life was only filled with some craziness but the three were mostly happy. Rosily loved her son with all her heart and made sure everyone knew how proud she was of everything he did.

As Years passed Cassidy who had previously been a field medic was called away to train new field medics for the US Army. This time away Rosily worried often sending him letters updating him on town and their growing son. She didn't often receive replies due to how busy he was and how often they moved around. After some time Rosily received a letter confirming a fear she had from some silence from her husband the past few months. He had gone missing, while on a active field training mission. No body had been found but blood and some of his items were discovered along with some other bodies. It was believed that he had died in the scrimish. This devastated Rosily walking from their home near Rhodes all the way to Valentine drunk. Rosily had always had a liking to drinking but with this news she heavily began to drink. Having started to work at the Little Tipsy Saloon while her husband was away getting ahold of drinks had become very easy. Her close friends at this time Samuel, Zachariah and Drew came to her aid. Stumbling though Valentine eventually passing out near the stable, out of all her friends Zachariah looked out the most for her. He had been a close friend of hers for some time, deemed her Saloon Porch Buddy. Cassidy had even trusted him watch over her when they had been having some issues with a odd person when Percy was a baby. He was one of the people who she heavily relied on during her time of loss.

### **Saloon Family Times and Developments with a second love**

After losing Cassidy Rosily started to change, becoming more hardened and quick to anger. Focusing on being there for her son and her work as a bartender all while supporting her drinking problem. She started to drift away from her old friends spending less and less time with Drew and attaching more to her family at the saloon. Working there she formed a strong friendship with Charlotte Scarr, owner of the Little Tipsy and her boss. She was patient with Rosily during her trouble and helped support her at times. In addition Rosily and Zachariah became closer during this time, he brought her happiness in her time of sadness. The two often went off on trips when things were slow at the saloon. As time passed on and the pain from her loss lessened Rosily's thoughts drifted and she started to see Zachariah in a new way. He had always been a close friend and supported her in her times of need.

During one of their many trips Rosily directed Zach to an odd cabin she had found in the past, she had shown Drew at the time but he couldn't stomach the dead bodies inside. Something that amused Rosily but Zachariah also saw the curiosity in it. After exploring the cabin the two sat on the large rock in front of this cabin, talking and having a good time. Zachariah paused and seemed to have something on his mind, Rosily inquired and Zachariah asked her a question. "Do you believe actions speak louder than words?" Rosily nodded saying she did agree with that statement, in that moment he suddenly kissed her. Rosily's first reaction was to slap him but a moment later kissing him back after the shock passed. Both caught off guard Zachariah actually passed out forcing Rosily to have to carry him back to town. Though it had been some time since the loss of her husband Rosily was unsure about revealing this new development to others. Telling the doctors he had hurt himself while they were out, the two then returned to the saloon porch agreeing to keep their new relationship a secret. As time went on they continued to keep their relationship secret, going on trips out of town like usual to spend time alone along with secret meet ups in the second story of the saloon. It didn't take too long for Charlotte to notice their relationship, she agreed to keep it secret for them with Rosily's unsureness of how others would react to her having moved on. They continued on and Charlotte warned them that it most likely wouldn't be long till the others in their friends would discover their relationship. During a secret meet up in the second floor of the saloon Mika caught them hot tieing them both and questioning them, ending in them revealing the relationship. Mika made fun of the two for being horrible at keeping it a secret and let them go. After this the two began to go public with their relationship since Rosily saw the reaction wasn't as bad as she had expected.

Rosily and Zachariah's relationship continued to improve, becoming close and always being together, only really separating when Zachariah and her friends had things to attend to. Zachariah himself had been through a lot in the time she had known him, from being part of a well known gang [Kelly Gang] until their leader passed. To becoming a deputy after having been with the saloon for some time. Zachariah lived a dangerous life something Rosily was ok with as long as he was ok. She never considered his actions would directly endanger her own life, that was until their war began with the Cartel. Rosily herself had had many run-ins with the Cartel out and about kidnapped many times, attacked and somehow not losing her hair to Castle's coin flips. Deeming her own hair the luckiest hair in the west. Zachariah's actions directly endangered her life after an incident in Saint Denis during his deputy work. Zachariah has possibly looked the other way while their family dealt with one Eddy Backwood. Eddy upset that as a deputy Zachariah allowed something to happen to him grabbed Rosily while she was hunting. Taking her to a secluded area not to far from town, during this time he tortured her carving his name into her arm, removing her trigger finger, burning and cutting her legs and feet. Rosily thought she would die but was given a glimmer of hope when Eddy cut her free and told her to hobble back to town, when her back was turned and she began to walk he suddenly shot her in the back downing her. To add to the horror Eddy then dragged her behind his horse back to town leaving her at the end of the road for someone to find. Rosily luckily was found and tended to by doctors, almost losing her life. After this Zachariah and their family sought out Eddy to get revenge for this incident along with a few others that had also happened.

### **Cassidy Not so Lost then Lost again**

Sometime after this a new development arrised, Cassidy who had been thought to be dead all this time was discovered. Having lost his memory and having been living along the nearby river, a mutual friend of Cassidy and Rosily's discovered him. Rosily in shock was happy but at the same time terrified, her thought to be dead husband was alive. And she had moved on after all this time, she was overwhelmed by guilt. With the help of her friends Rosily spoke with Cassidy, who did not blame her for moving on after all this time. Rosily though now had a decision to make, to return to her husband or continue the new love she had found with Zachariah. Meeting with Zachariah he told her he wouldn't blame her if she went back to him. Rosily told him though she still loved Cassidy it wasn't in the same way it had been, he was the father of her son and someone she cared for but no longer loved in a romantic way. Zachariah was the man she loved now not Cassidy and even if she felt guilt for that it would not change. After this Rosily spoke with Cassidy discussing a plan to co-parent their son. Informing him that even after all this time with him being gone and her moving on she never let Percy forget his father telling him stories of Cassidy even if it hurt her to do so. Working together now to care for their son whom was now old enough to visit town he attended fight night on his first visit. Being a good fighter Cassidy and Rosily encouraged him to join in on the fight night events. This ended in Percy winning fight night, but then captured by the cartel for his winnings. In a panic while rosily was missing she was forced to stay behind incase Percy returned to town while Cassidy rode off with others in search of his son. Eventually they returned from Strawberry with Percy who had been shaved and robbed. Cassidy, who had returned to his job as a doctor, stated he would refuse to work on any cartel member after this even if he lost his job.

Time passed, Cassidy and Rosily continued to live separate lives. Those lives leading to Cassidy's death, from what Rosily was informed the individuals who had taken him before when he was thought to be dead returned to finish the job. Murdering him behind the small saloon, found by the same friend who discovered Cassidy by the river without his memories. Rosily was heartbroken, one with the loss of a friend but now having to inform her son for a second time he had lost his father. It was a tough time for their family but luckily they had good friends to help support them.

### **Second Times the Charm?**

Time passed Rosily healed and Zachariah and her returned to the spot where they confessed their feelings for one another, they were looking at animals in the area though binoculars. When Rosily lowered her binoculars Zachariah was on one knee (after a few fake outs which Rosily rolled her eyes at and laughed at beforehand) he asked her to marry her and once again he passed out when she said yes. Having to once again take him back to town but this time telling them he asked her to marry him. It was a happy time for Rosily even in all the chaos life seemed to be getting better and better. And this continued for some time, eventually the two were married at the same spot they revealed their feelings and where Zacharaih had proposed. Their lifes moved on with various troubles and tribulations, happily married living their lives.

This happiness grew when Rosily became pregnant for a second time with her and Zachariah's daughter Amelia. AN uneventful pregnancy Rosily delivered her daughter with the help of her friend Charlotte in the saloon.

### Truth Hurts

Time continued on and Rosily surprised to her with near to no help from her husband raised their daughter. And Rosily noticed a distance that Zachariah put between the two of them. To the point that during a small incident between the saloon family and another small group Zachariah tried to divorce her. No real reason given and close to after the birth of Mia he informed her they should go their sperate ways for "Her own protection." Rosily was devastated, her happy life pulled from under her feet. She ran away to Annesburg where she had a home drinking away her sorrows while leaving her newborn with a wet nurse. With talk from her best friend Joannah Rosily slowly started to come back into Valentine though keeping her distance on the hotel balcony to just observe town. Eventually not apology was given just a talk and unspoken agreement that everything was 'fine' now. Rosily continued back into her 'happy' marriage. Trying her best to act like everything was back to the way it was she went forward acting ok. But little things began to become noticeable to her weighing on her mind. Jokes Zach made at her expense how if she did one thing wrong she would be made fun of, constant infertility jokes between him and her best friend. All these things began to exhaust Rosily who kept telling herself its ok because he loves me. She kept over and over again telling herself it would be ok maybe one day he would realize it hurt her some of these things. But that day never came. Suddenly Zachariah left, taking his things and disappearing into the night while Rosily was asleep.

Rosily awoke the next day to no Zach and all his things missing. She was in shock, how could he suddenly just disappear? Did their family really mean that much to him that he could just leave. Devastated and not wanting to show her hurt she lied to the town telling them he was just at the house. "Zachariah is up in the room." "Zachariah is at the ranch." She kept repeating those things to those around her hoping lie to herself even enough that it would feel true. Secretly the depression ate her inside and she fell back into her drinking, keeping it hidden from those around her for long enough she kept a constant mild drunk state to numb her mind from the hurt.

### Healthy Relationships?

In the time while Zachariah ran off rosily began to expand her horizons. She had slowly been turning to the criminal side of things from her secret missions with Joannah to cause trouble. She became a little more loose with a gun in town not afraid to get in trouble. And slowly a friendship formed between her, James Brooke and Michael Faustin. She knew the others they ran with being somewhat friends with Ember Casey and Nathan Casey. She began to help the two out when they were in town as a friendly thing to do, help among criminals. After James had a bounty that was taken care of but the bounty still was on the board two persons tried to capture James. Rosily being a friend of his stepped in attempting to save him getting shot in the process but luckily distracted them long enough for James to shoot them down. After this Ember and Nathan took notice of her help and a alliance was formed between the Saloon Family and the Syndicate. As time moved on Michael and Rosily took notice of one another. Playful teasing turned into flirting and the two didn't mind. Though the flirting started to weigh on Rosily's mind, she technically was still married even though her husband ran off. No one knew he was actually gone what would others say. Then the questions started, people would as Michael if the two were dating. Which Rosily found amusing and after awhile it would be a fun thing between the two, "How many people asked if we were dating?" would be a question she asked him day to day.

As more time moved forward Rosily's feelings grew and she drank more to hide them, many days of wondering drunk though town Joannah took notice. And in a drunkin state Rosily revealed her secrets to her, that Zach was gone and she had fallen for another man. Joannah wasn't surprised and told her to do what made her happy, fuck what everyone else says. But rosily continued to façade for some time after this , that was until a family trip to Guarma. The two ran off a few times together their usual joking flirting, till the trip back home. Rosily riding on Michael's horse asked him to stop by his home near by. She quickly hopped off his horse ran up to his door leaving a note then ran back telling him to leave. He inquired what did you leave a note, back and forth ended in him going to read said note that read "I like you..." Which Michael returned to the horse going "Yeah? " She only nodded nervous as hell. Which he then said "wanna give it a go then?" Then revealing he had also liked her and had planned to tell her soon. From their a relationship started, one which out of all of her relationships has been the healthiest. For once not with someone who put her down or was distant with her. A non toxic relationship where she is actually happy, something new to her that she is very happy with.
