## Rose Cobalt

**Rose Magdala Cobalt** (née Calloway) is a highly intelligent and accomplished business woman, graduating as valedictorian with first-class honours from ivy college Princeton University.

## Physical Appearance

Rose Calloway is described to have a striking beauty, characterised by glossy, dark brown—almost black—straight hair that frames her face with timeless elegance. Her yellowish-green, cat-like eyes add a touch of mystery, drawing you in with her intimidating gaze.

Rose has hourglass frame and curvy hips that only enhance her alluring silhouette. Beyond her physical grace, Rose's beauty is a blend of confidence, sophistication, and intimidation that makes her a standout character in the "Addicted" series.

## Personality

In Addicted to You, it is said that Rose frightens children, pets, and even grown males with her icy eyes and chilling glares.

Rose, the second oldest Calloway sister, is a strong-willed and fiercely loyal woman. She's intelligent, confident and independent. Her perfectionism stems from her taking agency as her mother tried to fit her into a mold as she was growing up. Rose’s immense loyalty and selflessness tends to make her focus solely on her friends and family and ignore her well-being. Rose is known for being an advocate for women to speak up and fight for their voices, as she was seen helping her youngest sister, Daisy Calloway.

Rose is incredibly well-educated, having been top of her class and valedictorian. She is known for how knowledgeable she is and for her fiestiness. While sharp-tongued, her love for her friends and family still shines through her actions and resilience. Her complicated personality is what attracts her husband, Connor Cobalt, to her. Their personalities contradict yet mirror each other at the same time.

## Early History

Samantha tagged along to every single ballet rehearsal Rose had, even skipping family meals to watch her practice.

When Rose was a kid, at a beach resort, she saw a freckle-faced boy picking on a girl near a water slide. He called the young girl fat and pointed at her one-piece. Rose intervened and used some choice language that would make eight-year-olds blush. When the pudgy boy didn't respond how she hoped, she grabbed his swim-trunks and yanked them to his ankles.

As a child, Rose would lock herself in her closet after she fought with her mother. She'd grab an old fur coat and scream.

In sixth grade on a school field trip to D.C., while rose was reading the labels of a model of the solar system, a group of boys in her class gathered behind her and pointed and snickered before saying, "I can see Uranus." Rose ignored them, and then they said, "Hey, your anus is bleeding."

Rose built Calloway Couture with Samantha as a little side business when she turned fifteen. Years later, it's grown into a profitable fashion line.

Rose constantly fights for the right to go stag, since no guy can ever live up to her impossible standards. But Samantha insists on dates, believing that if you arrive without a man, you look cheap and unwanted.

Rose and Lily fought a lot when Lily made the decision to go to Penn. Rose had already begun picking out dishware and furniture for an apartment off campus that she hoped she would share with Lily.

Rose was sixteen when she first pictured Connor inside of her, and the most contact she had with hum was verbally fighting at Model UN Conferences. They would stand in the hallways of a fancy hotel and argue about Epicurus and his philosophy on intangible things like love, happiness and God. Once Connor went off on a tangent in French, and Rose tried to keep up. Rose vowed to be better than him. So she studied harder, and opened more books. She made sure she was fluent enough to understand him and then more—to stump him. She never did, but she also never fell behind.

When she was twenty, Connor has a suspicion that Rose had lost her virginity to someone on her Academic Bowl team. She used to slide out of hugs, but she let him rest an arm around her shoulder. Connor even saw Rose kiss him in a hallway. Rose knew Connor was watching. She knew that Connor could tell how inexperienced she was, so she stomached whatever revulsion she had towards male contact—just so Connor would form the idea that she was no longer a virgin. Rose was never ashamed of it as a teenager, but whenever her virginity was brought up in front of Connor, she'd get defensive.

Since Rose was fourteen, she's never been ashamed of being a virgin. She's never wanted other women to feel as though they have to lose it in their twenties—the holding onto your virginity post-college makes you unwanted. She's proud at the fact that she waited.

Since Poppy left the house, Samantha focused her excess attention on Rose, pressuring her to continue ballet, attending every practice and recital, filling her schedule with dinner dates and functions. With Calloway Couture, Rose wanted to make Greg proud and show him that she could follow his entrepreneurial footsteps. Designing fashion was an outlet where Rose could be creative despite Samantha's constant nagging. Rose used to come home, rub her abused toes from pointe shoes, and sketch on her bed, in private.

For Valentine's 2015, Rose and Connor had a dinner reservation in New York. Their whereabouts were tipped to the media. However, Rose returned home with an uncharacteristically giddy smile and a limo full of red and pink roses. They were from her fans, who showed up to see her, just to say *I love you, Rose Calloway*, and give her a present on Valentine's day.
