Rose is not the usual girl – she is five foot and seven inches tall with harmonious figure. She likes to keep herself fit, but is not overly obsessed about her appearance. She has naturally dark hair, which is usually dyed in different colors, recently staying in deep purple. It is long and naturally very curly and Rose likes it just the way it is. She does some hairdos from time to time, but mostly keeps it open. Her big cat-like eyes are greyish-blue and her long lashes are usually tinted with mascara.

When it comes to clothing, comfort is the most important thing to her. She likes colourful clothes and doesn’t really care what she wears. She tries her best not to look like a poorly-dressed homeless person or a cheap woman. She likes both sneakers and high heels, though prefers flat-bottomed shoes if she has to walk a long distance.

The sweet girl from next door. Or at least that is what Rose used to be and still partially is. Rose has always been conscientious and hardworking girl. She’s very understanding but unfortunately she’s pretty gullible. She tends to ignore the bad things in people and focus in the good things, which usually is not a good thing in her case. Since she was reborn as a vampire, Rose has had some self-control issues and also moral issues. She tends to have awful conscience when she feeds off humans. Her love life has bloomed when she was human but now she has some trust issues with men – mostly because of her ex-boyfriend and because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone. She might be a little lost since she has basically no one to turn to with her “vampire problems.”

Rose has always been the loving sister to her siblings and has tried to be a perfect daughter to her parents. She is a perfectionist and doesn’t usually give up until she reaches the best possible outcome. This includes her grades, work and everything she does. It’s more of a habit than obsession though. She always tries to please everyone and is very polite in that matter. She’s friendly towards other people and likes to go out at evening. The open air really is one of her favourite things and going outside in the evening is the part she waits all day – now that the night is the only time for her to enjoy the fresh air without being exposed to sunlight.

BIRTH PLACE: Palo Alto, California
CHANGED: 2010

Rose Aurelia Thornton was born as the third child for the Thornton family in Palo Alto, California in 1985. Her family was a big one – there were already two elder siblings and two were born after Rose. She was left as the middle one of the five children. Rose had somewhat a nice and peaceful childhood, taking care of her siblings (both younger and older) as she was the bookworm of the family. Of course she had friends too – often she used to go to the park to play with her best friends. She was always the easiest to please – she didn’t really want anything and she didn’t like to argue with anyone.

As she grew, she became somewhat of a perfectionist. While her older brother got the attention of the parents and her older sister used to sneak out and be a handful to her parents, Rose tried to be the perfect daughter and stay out of trouble and take care of the household when she could. She was often found cooking or cleaning or taking care of the backyard garden. She did not really go out with her friends and while others consumed alcohol and danced in the night, she consumed books and listened to music.

Rose was kind of invisible at school, mostly staying with her little group of friends and spending some time with herself too. However she wasn’t really that unnoticed – at least not among the boys. Rose did engage herself into a few relationships but she had moral and rules – one being very old-fashioned: no sleeping around before marriage. Some of her relationships crashed to that matter too. But she really wasn’t in hurry to get committed herself to someone. She believed in the one true love.

After college, Rose applied for medical school and wanted to become a pediatrician – of course her grades and motivation were so good that she was accepted. When she turned 23, her friends threw her a surprise birthday party where she met Walter Lovell, a handsome law student. They hit it off right away and become engaged after dating each other for a year. Walter became overly jealous of Rose and even tried to forbid her to see her other male friends. Rose assured that nothing was going on like nothing had been going on, but Walter didn’t believe it. Soon enough he started to act really odd and threaten her and Rose decided that it was over. She couldn’t take his attitude anymore.

Breaking up with Walter was Rose’s most terrible mistake and the wisest at the same time. Walter had become obsessed about her and didn’t take the break-up very well. He was angry and decided that if he couldn’t have her, neither would anyone else. So he revealed his vampire teeth and bit her, eventually drained her. In her last moments as a human, Rose felt the taste of blood in her mouth. Her transformation was painful and it lasted for four days. When it was finally over, she met Walter’s eyes once again. He took her to his house where she managed to escape two days later. She returned home to her family but noticed that every vein in her siblings and parents bodies we’re suddenly pulsing, tempting her to bite them and drink from them.

Rose couldn’t control her bloodlust at first and ran away, leaving her parents with a note that she got a transfer to another school in Las Vegas and would move there. She got a nice flat with blinds on her windows and stayed inside at daytime. She had no vampire friends to turn to – she didn’t know anyone. She had to learn to control her bloodlust herself, eventually starting to drink animal blood, which was quite awful.

One day Walter reminded her of his existence by showing up at her doorstep. Rose tried to fight him, but eventually lost and he came in. Walter dragged her out to hunt with him, but Rose disagreed. She managed to flee for a second and eventually ended up in a physical fight with him. She was locked to the ground but managed to take some wooden object to her hand and thrusted it to his heart, killing him. Rose was shocked to find herself covered in blood and fled back to her apartment quietly. Luckily no one saw her. Once she was in bed, she realized that she was finally free from Walter – but she still had no idea where to get answers to all of her questions.
