BLOOD IS RUNNING DEEP some things never sleep AU PERSONALITY In a lot of ways, Rose is quite similar to who she was as Zero—lazy, short-tempered, horribly foul-mouthed. However, as much as she tries to hide her heart of gold underneath a bad attitude and shady antics, she really does have a heart of gold in comparison to her canon counterpart. Despite being an orphan, the presence of her family in the orphanage changed everything for her. By sacrificing just about everything for her younger siblings, it goes to show how compassionate Rose actually is. While she knew that the methods she resorted to providing for her family would cost her not only her schooling but her own chances of getting adopted, she resorted to those methods of her own free will and without any resentment towards her family. None of them ever made her do it, she wanted to. She wanted to give them better. If doing so meant ensuring a better life for her family, that was all that mattered. Her own circumstances, others' opinions about her, the state of her future all meant rather little to her. She loves her family completely and selflessly, even if she'd be the last person to ever admit it. Still, Rose remains quite jaded and cynical about the world, albeit in a much less nihilistic and hateful way than Zero was. There's less anger and more resignation. She remembers very clearly how her mother essentially dumped her at the orphanage, and it left her with a deep distrust of adults and their supposed care for children from a young age. As she grew up in the orphanage system and frequently saw other children being passed around from foster parent to foster parent only to end up back at the orphanage with no one willing to adopt them, her anger towards authority and the systems that made the world work only grew stronger. Still, it's a far cry from how apathetic and desensitized Zero was when it came to the cruelty of the world. Rose might not go out of her way to champion a cause or say there's probably no real justice in the world, but she'd help someone out if she saw them in trouble and wouldn't hurt someone just to get something from them. She knows she hasn't lived a great life and doesn't really know how much her life is worth when there's been so much bad, but she also doesn't think that life is absolutely meaningless, and that's already a remarkable difference. After giving just about everything for her family though, not having to provide for them any longer has left Rose rather aimless. Whereas canon Zero is determined and hellbent on accomplishing her goals, Rose has none of that. She's already fulfilled the purpose she made for herself, and now she has no idea what she should or even wants to do next. With all of her siblings now able to provide for themselves one way or another, she doesn't have any motivation to do anything with her life aside from a general "staying alive is probably a good idea." After all, she spent all of her childhood hyper-focused on her goal of providing for her family with no time or thought spared towards anything in the future aside from making it to the next day. While she quit sex work because she wanted to, she's only working as a hostess because she knows it's something she can do, not because she actually wants to. If you asked her what she even wanted to do though, she wouldn't know how to answer. Despite not being a particularly upstanding citizen or moral person, Rose isn't the near-heartless monster Zero was either. Her stance on sex and relationships is similarly loose, but Rose would never kill someone much less attack someone innocent and defenseless. Getting into fights is still something that comes easily to her though, whether in defense of herself or someone else or because she just enjoys a good fight or even as stress relief. She remains rather violent, especially thanks to her short temper, but she's not bloodthirsty by any means. No crime or disregard for the law will ever come close to the hundreds upon hundreds of people Zero murdered in cold blood. All that said, Rose will always be morally dubious at best, and this isn't something she's looking to fix. Ultimately, the biggest difference between Rose and Zero is that Rose actually cares about people instead of being tragically apathetic. She's no saint and never will be, but the love and affection she received from her family ensured that she'd never be a person who could kill someone and not even blink. It's not impossible for her to form relationships with other people, and more than that, she's not against it. It can just be somewhat difficult for her as she tends to come off as intimidating and suspicious, and she doesn't think she has much to offer as a person anyways. Still, she's not so callous and cruel as to not help someone when they need it. While she might be more likely to shut someone out than let them in, that doesn't mean she can't open up and trust someone. AU HISTORY • abandoned at the orphanage by her mother when she was 4-years-old • eventually came to form a pseudo-family with other young orphans • resorted to various survival work and petty thieving to support her family better than what the orphanage could provide • hung around some martial arts schools thanks to Jasmine being friends with some of the kids who attended, took up any free lessons she could as both a way to defend herself/her family and a way to deal with stress/anger but could never afford full and formal lessons • often got into fights defending fellow orphans from bullies and the like • dropped out of school at 14, focusing on finding work instead • worked through a number of jobs such as retail, fast food, dog walking, etc. but had difficulty keeping a steady job due to her temper • aged out of the orphanage at 18 • attempted to formally adopt her family still living at the orphanage, it didn't go through despite her many attempts to fight the ruling, causing a rift between her and Jasmine in particular who believed that her older sister abandoned her family; to this day she's bitter about not being able to take them in, even though she knows there wasn't anything that could be done, but she doesn't blame any of her family for resenting her when she believes she failed them as well • however that didn't stop her from continuing to support and provide for them • took up sex work as a profession • arrested at 22 after physically assaulting a client who attempted to sexually assault her, was bailed out by her "family" from the orphanage with money they pooled together • still returned to work afterwards, although she began taking up part time jobs like retail again • the last of her siblings who remained at the orphanage aged out, and she realized that the goal she'd worked towards her entire life was accomplished, leaving her with no idea what to do with the rest of her life • quit sex work as she no longer needed the money quite so desperately and hadn't felt entirely comfortable taking clients since the incident that led to her arrest • current hobbies include browsing around various cafes and boutiques out of curiosity as she couldn't afford anything so nice when she was younger; occasionally indulges in buying cakes and sweets to try out and give to her siblings • still frequently gets into fights thanks to her ever-present short temper • currently works at Cabaret Club Sunshine as a hostess INVENTORY ZERO'S BLADE.
