PLAYER: Pearl
CHARACTER: Rosette Christopher
CANON: Chrono Crusade

AU NAME: Rosette Christopher? Last name open to change. Also considering changing her first name to Mary, for the ultimate Dick Move.
AU AGE: 19-21, undecided
AU OCCUPATION: College student; works part-time at Game On! and/or other odd jobs to pay for room and board.
BLURB:

Born in Recolle to two very loving parents... who proceeded to get into some kind of accident and die when she was about 7-8
With no other family to speak of, Rosette grew up at the local orphanage. She is an absolute terror for the first year, because she can't find a way to cope
But eventually she does, by literally adopting every single kid who will let her drag them around. And even the ones that won't. Yay found family.
Teenage life is Really Rough for her, and the moment she turns 18, she peaces out. BEING AN ORPHAN SUCKS AND SHE LOVES YOU ALL BUT SHE HAS TO GO.
Works an unhealthy amount of hours at a number of jobs until she can get on her feet. Like. Only still standing out of grit and determination.
Possibly has a hefty inheritance? I could take or leave this, because she would still insist on doing as much on her own anyway. Strong independent woman don't need dead daddy's money!!
Her experiences at the orphanage push her toward looking at either education or medicine for a profession. It takes her a bit to get her life squared to a point where she can go to college, but she does it.
She's kind of a crappy student. If she's into something she is into it. Otherwise eh staying on the curve is fine.
Sophomore or junior at Recollé University.

LOOKING FOR:

Found family/fellow orphans! She's the type of person who collects people, whether they like it or not. Especially grumps. She will fight you, but she will also love you fiercely. Also who wants to be a proxy for her canon little brother? You do, obviously.
Current and previous classmates. She would have gone through the school system in Recollé, and depending she's either an education student or med. I'm not married to either idea, so convince me?
Game-On or other odd job workers. She seriously should learn to cut back, but mama has to pay for college and that is Expensive.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: This won't be happening until either November or January. Other possible characters I may be considering are Nia Teppelin from Gurren Lagann or Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX, but their backstories aren't nearly as fleshed out.

Please do not reply to this comment. Thank you!

did you say orphan

I don't think her time at the orphanage would have overlapped with Tatsuo's any (he aged out in 2004), but he still helps out where he can (buys toys for Christmas presents and helps make sure the orphanage is well stocked on clothes and school supplies), so she could have seen him around.

+1

she's younger than May and Tatsuo, but these two definitely stick up for the people they grew up with. she can be like their baby sister.

wow Gmail didn't tell me about this comment, how rude.

But I'll echo the same things as above. Rosette would be a little weird about being the little sister at first (accurate but excuse you she's always been the big sister), but she would want to help May take care of the other kids too.

Oh yeah, I could see them interacting. She's usually the ringleader, so she probably has a reputation. She's a good kid, just very strong-willed. But if Tatsuo is active with the orphanage, especially during the holidays, I could see her wanting to help out. She'll play Santa's helper and hand out gifts or something.

haha santa's helper would be awesome. keep the kids from running amok so the present distribution can go somewhat smoothly. and Tatsuo would have wanted to consult with whoever is the current ringleader to get input on what the children like.

HAAA literally high five on orphan / grew up on the street and going into probably medicine. Also Emma is probably not getting apped until November but definitely the right range for them to know one another. (Emma got the kind of scores on the tests that make universities pay for the student to attend, so she's on full scholarship... since I already have Touya who works a bazillion jobs to pay his tuition)

... which leads me to Touya who is in the game, 20 y o Chemistry student (who might be looking into turning that into research/teaching, because his dad was a Professor in Archaeology) so they just might have classes together...

Soooooo Rosette isn't a street urchin (the opposite actually...), but if they're around the same age and Emma spends time at the orphanage, they probably know each other.

As far as Touya, I'm fine with them being classmates.

Yuuup, orphans yaaaay.

/nods Touya moved to Recolle from Japan sometime in middle school and wasn't very... communicative at the time, but he'd have done the whole strong silent pushing away bullies if that was necessary...

Late comment, do you think She would have met Al and "adopted" him?

He would have been there two years ago for a relatively short time until he got adopted. I could imagine him wanting to try to run for it as he didn't trust orphanages at the time(The last family he had was horrible to him), so she might have caught him trying to run?
