"'It's only right to crawl before the Queen. What are you waiting for?'"Team: VYPR (Pronounced “Viper”)

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Height: 5’4”

Weight: 134 lbs

Hair: Curly Golden Blonde

Eyes: Sky Blue

Appearance:
Roisin, often called Rose, is by far the shortest member of team VYPR at as much as five inches shorter than the next teammate in line for the position. While short, she has an excellent figure with a number of well shaped curves. Needless to say, she’s certainly more voluptuous than her team members, especially York. Her chest, however, is the only bit of fat to be found on her entire body. Rose is layered head to toe with well worked, lithe, and silent muscle. While not built for strength she is unbelievably fast, faster than any other member of team VYPR. Trailing behind her as she moves will be her gently curling hair that shines like threads of gold and falls to about mid-back, much longer when straightened. Her hair frames her round face which is dominated by a button nose, soft blue, and a perpetual smirk.

Rose likes to maintain a proper, upper class attire that says “casual” but also “I’m better than you”. In her day to day life she can be seen wearing well-kept sun dresses of, more often than not, some shade of blue. To cover up her “horribly immodest” shoulders she often sports a short cut cashmere shawl of either white or some other matching shade of blue. She keeps her hair back with a wide, sky blue headband lined with white frills. To make up for her small stature she will often wear heels of at least two inches. She wears her Haven uniform cleanly and with haughty arrogance.

In stark contrast to the propriety of her regular outfit, her combat wear is as indecent as they come. She wears a one piece, skin tight, jumpsuit of black leather and Kevlar like synthetic fiber. Her regular heels are replaced with black spiked heels that she has long since learned to fight in. The outfit conceals her in shadows but does little other concealing. It allows her to move freely and silently and at the same time can stun certain enemies with its ability to leave nothing to the imagination. It leaves Rose to look the part of the devil and the angel at the very same time.

Personality:
The idea that short people are meaner because they’re closer to Hell is very true in Rose’s case. Though she often acts the part of an angel, she is truly a devil on the inside. She’s mean, arrogant, and manipulative. Her two faced nature is most clearly visible when gender comes in to play. Generally, she enjoys insulting all the other girls in the vicinity and “putting the commoners in their places”. When boys are around, on the other hand, she pretends to be cute, helpless, and harmless, sometimes even convincing guys that she was the one being bullied. In Rose’s opinion, there is no one better than Rose, and the proper place of all others is to be groveling before their true queen. Lastly, she’s incredibly lazy. She figures that there’s no sense in doing work that she can convince someone else to do for her.

When it comes to morals, Rose is pretty much as close as you can get to human scum. While nowhere near the “evil spectrum” she is just pretty generally a horrible person. She cares little about the pains of others and always puts herself first. Despite having access to quite a lot of wealth, Rose is wholly uncharitable and wouldn’t even give you the time of day. Worst of all, she’s racist. As a product of her affluent upbringing, she looks down upon faunus with scorn and treats them accordingly. She can often be heard referring to them as “animals”, “criminals”, and “despicable rapscallions”.

Weapons and Abilities:
Rose’s weapon just kind of screams sadistic. Her weapon of choice is a long leather whip that can somewhat vary in length. Made of thick leather, the whip can grow from a minimum of six feet to a maximum of twelve feet and is tipped off with a wicked metal barb. To match her whip is a pair of semi-automatic .22 caliber pistols that clip to her belt and fit in the small of her hand. The bullets are often laced with dust, the kind varies. While all is displayed openly in combat her weapons can conveniently compress themselves to take the form of a stylish handbag.

Given the nature of her weapons, Rose stands little chance in a fair fight. However, Rose will rarely have a fair fight. She works largely as an infiltrator and will get behind her enemy before attacking. She combines the use of her weapons with a lot of hand to hand, and will use every dirty trick in the book, trips, groin shots, scratches to the eyes, pocket sand, you name it. To further tip the scales in her favor, Rose will most often coat the barb of her whip in fast acting toxins that shortly lead to temporary paralysis.

Rose’s aura manifests itself as peacock blue and provides the standard benefits of an active aura in addition to a small bit of bonus speed. Her semblance is subtly powerful and is known as ''Suffiomancy. ''Bizarre as it me seem, this power allows Roisin to emit and control scents with a high degree of precision. While it may at first seem like something to be used for stink bombs or other kinds of more blunt aromatic assaults Roisin uses the power much more delicately. Her range of scent includes the entirety of the hormonal spectrum which can be used to finely alter emotional states. Another favorite tactic is the use of heavily sleep inducing scents that can make an opponent drowsy or after prolonged exposure put them to sleep. Rose can mix scents if she chooses or can instantly dissipate one to be replaced with another. An understanding of which scents produce which effects does not come naturally and must be acquired through copious amounts of research. While Rose herself remains unaffected (she is actually totally unable to smell) the power is definitely area of affect and can affect teammates. Like any other scent it can be carried away by the wind.

Backstory:
Roisin is the middle child of a wealthy Mistral family. Her mother comes from old money, and her father is a Kingdom councilman. When mixed together you have yourself the perfect blend of haughty aristocracy.

Roisin grew up thoroughly pampered, attended to by a number of servants who catered to her every whim. She was taught by her mother the many aspects of being ladylike and what it means to be better than poor people. Her childhood was generally uneventful aside from a very serious sinus infection that robbed her of her sense of smell.

Being the middle child of a busy father, as well as having an overachieving older sister and an attention loving little sister, can lead to some personality issues. One of those is a hard core inferiority complex derived from the eldest of the family. In an attempt to compensate, Rose therefore developed a superiority complex over pretty much everyone else. She also ended up with some issues that involve craving attention. Largely ignored by her father, Roisin worked hard to stand out, or at least do something to get his attention. This is what led her to becoming a huntress. When her father expressed little to no interest Roisin continued her education just to spite him.

The general solution that the super wealthy (and super arrogant) have to problems is to throw money at them. Wanting their daughter to be the best above them all, Roisin’s parents sent her to Madame Penelope’s School for Girls, a private, selective, and hyper expensive combat school for those who were too good for combat school. Incidentally, Roisin’s older sister serves as assistant headmistress.

Roisin made a good show of wiping out the competition. She effortlessly rose to the top of the class and dominated the social hierarchy. Everything went amazingly well for most of her three years. However, a girl that Roisin thought to be her best friend and right hand (wo)man was plotting a betrayal.

Ganella, once Roisin’s most loyal underling, set a plan in motion in their third year of school that would utterly humiliate Roisin. She slowly convinced the other underlings to turn against their master, and built up evidence to destroy Roisin’s reputation. The plan culminated when Roisin was met with humiliating defeat in the first round of the school singles tournament. Not even two days later information surfaced showing that Roisin had been coercing others to do her work as well as cheating on a number of tests. Simultaneously her “friends” abandoned her. Four months before graduation Roisin left the school. It’s still a matter of debate as to whether she left voluntarily or was forced out of the school.

In the very least, Roisin had enough skill to be admitted to Haven regardless of her combat school failures. By some bizarre fluke, Roisin was paired with Peony Michiko during initiation. Even if Roisin did know that Peony was of faunus heritage they couldn’t have gotten along much worse. To make matters worse they rest of team VYPR seemed to be a bunch of goody two shoes. The only solace for Roisin was that at least her one male teammate was pretty hot.
