In the night, she disguised herself as a boy and escaped Bulgaria to travel, only to find herself in the town of Rosewood. She intended to stay only a short while, until one of the Caraway men caught her fancy. After many months of courting, the two were engaged and Cornelia proceeded to live in the Rosewood mansion.

Biography: Elizabeth was born and grew up in the town with her loving parents, ordinary commoners that barely scraped by. But every day was precious, living her happy life and even more so due to the Caraways. As a naive little girl, she admired them for being so kind and generous to help support their town, living in that beautiful mansion and wealthy beyond her wildest dreams. She dreamed of one day being like the Caraways, rich and helping others. She was 14 when her parents suddenly came down with a deadly disease, the medication being too expensive for them to afford. So she went up to the Caraways, begging them to help her parents afford the medicine they need to live. They agreed, but on the condition that she works for them as a maid. Elizabeth eagerly accepted the offer, relieved as her parents got the medication and were healthy again, not minding being a maid and living in the mansion. At first it was difficult with all the cleaning to do in the large castle, knowing where everything is at and how to do certain tasks. But she persevered through it, knowing that this is the least that she can do. While being a maid, she got to know the Caraways very well and see how they live, one boy in particular. He was the oldest son, very serious and duty driven. While some would take him for boring, she couldn't help but admire how responsible and reliable he was even when he was young. With his help and their expansive library, she has read many books and gained a vast amount of knowledge, enjoying speaking with him over literature and serious topics. Over the years, she slowly got to know him little by little to become friendly and very close acquaintances, knowing he still has yet to completely open up. She fell in love with him in the meanwhile, but keeps it hidden to this day due to the fact that she is only a commoner and would not be worthy of the family. So she keeps to her maid duties, hoping one day she can be with him. She has gotten used to life in the castle and the rest of the family as well; politely turning down Mr. Caraways' advances, brushing off Mrs. Caraways' narcissism, sympathetic to the second son, caring to the daughter, and pleasant with everyone else.

Personality: Eva is quite infamous in the town because of her gender, as well as her personality: she has an odd fascination with death, and is very sadistic, pessimistic at times. She can be optimistic when she wants to be, but is otherwise a very strange girl. She is full of spunk, very quirky and full of joy and laughter. However, because of how things are in this day and age, she is extremely introverted and quiet, keeping her true nature hidden behind a shell of daintiness and her doll-like physique.
She is very non-judgmental, accepting, and level-headed. She can be goofy when she wants to, as well as sarcastic, but keeps on a poker face. Eva is also extremely sweet, as she has a knack for helping people and doing the best she can to lend a hand. She's a bit gluttonous--much to her own dismay as this is a habit she wishes to break--and sometimes clumsy, but she's definitely worthwhile.
When you meet Eva, however, she appears shy, distanced, and quiet; the most she'll ever say to a person is just a simple "hello", "welcome", or "thank you for stopping by". Once she warms up to you, she will reveal her bouncy nature and her hidden dark humour.

Biography: October 30th, 1819, Everette and Angelina Brown--one of the wealthiest couples in town, but still very much behind in wealth compared to the Caraways--had been blessed with a beautiful daughter. Her hair was such a pale blonde, so pale it appeared almost white, her skin was also very naturally pale, like a little porcelain doll. Later on in life, as their beloved daughter grew, they came to a conclusion that Eva was not a daughter as the doctor had said, but a young boy. The parents, thinking that Eva was "cursed" by the devil himself, believed they could rid this "curse" by disowning Eva, and putting her in an orphanage when she was only three.
Eversince that day, Eva grew a deep, emotional scar about the topic of "love" and "family". Even friendship grew foreign to her, for she was ruthlessly teased. She decided that even though she seemed "boyish" that she would choose to be feminine instead, and kept her transgender under secrecy, afraid of judgment and hatred from peers. Unfortunately for Eva, no one in town or on earth had wanted to adopt her, and it broke her little heart. Her view of love, family and friendship was shattered.
She stayed in the town, for it was familiar ground but filled with bigotry. She loathed her own family name, as it was a reminder of their unacceptance; she desired a change, but could not get it. Portraying herself as a young girl, she went about her business. Unfortunately, because "being short" was a heritage genetic in the family, her height was 4"5, the height of any average eight-year-old. She was almost kidnapped by two men whom were sickeningly obsessed with children, but managed to escape, but not without being psychologically rattled.
Eva ran and just wanted to hide in the darkest corner she could find, and cry in it. A wonderful elderly couple, however, heard her cries and took her in. They caught onto the fact that she was transgender, but did not mind; they always desired to have a child due to the wife's infertility. Thus, they took her in and adopted her despite her being of legal age, and gave her the name "Quartz", which she gladly accepted.
Under their love, Eva's definitions of love, family and friendship were restored and learned under their care how to uphold business and what-not. She was already a great cook, a skill that was always passed down from her biological family. The elderly couple had a little bakery around the corner, behind a few apple trees entitled "Dulcia Amo", and thrived up until they had both tragically passed on from heart failure. Heartbroken by their deaths, Eva decided to stick around and uphold the business and honour the Quartz family name by keeping up the quaint bakery.

Age: 23
Gender:Female
Race: She comes from a very long line of witches able to manipulate energy...she is a witch
Abilities: The Ability to manipulate and pull energy into solid weapons, pulses, blasts, Noise, or compress it into anything the mind can think of (Draw back being it draws energy from the user and can cause horrible side effects; side note she can not move items, cause items to float, or create items permanently)
Alchemy/Spells: this should be self explanatory, her ability to manipulate Energy causes alchemy to come easy to her and well....spells are an easier way to channel energy...soooooooo -raises thumbs-
Weapon: A 5 Foot Obsidian long sword, the grip is a black gold melted and formed long and round, the top of the hilt (the pommel) is elephant ivory carved into the shape of a budding rose, their is red stain made from a mix of red paint and blood at the base of each of the 28 petals, The Cross guard is also elephant Ivory but instead of carved into a budding rose it is carved into a fully blossomed rose the tips of each petal stained red, while beside the blossomed rose are two rose leafs creating the rest of the cross guard. On the Rain Guard just below the cross guard is a simple half circle with a curled Victorian R. The blade of the sword is double edged and made of obsidian that has been melted and reformed into 4 feet of the blade, in the center of the sword (the fuller) on one side are the words ''alle burgen gehorchen das rosen" (as close as i could get to ''all castles obey the rose'') and on the other side it says 'For the pride of the blood'. Finally at the point it a very simple silver covering, that covers about two inches of the point, because the rosewoods, when it was commissioned by Lord Samuel Arthur Rosewood over a century ago, he was a struggling pacifist who used the silver cap as a reminder not to kill in haste, it was his son, Lord Samuel Rosewood II, a notable evildoer, who added the words to the blade.

Biography: Yuma was born third of five children, the second female child to Marcy Garland Nee Rosewood and her husband...the village fool Augustus Garland, though she was one of five children, she was the only one to make it past the age of 20. Yuma didn't have it easy growing up in rosewood, as the the daughter of the village fool and a disgraced women, in fact she was kicked out of starters school for 'fear of her stupidity would infect the others' so she was home schooled her entire life, her father teaching her about the real world and how most of it was cruel but that it had many good people, while her mother Marcy taught her everything else from cooking, cleaning, sewing to Math, Writing and languages. By the time she was 15 she was very well educated and had learned three languages and was writing in two, she was a wonderful cook but not the best One day sometime nearing her sixteenth birthday her mother started teaching her about her ancestors, the Rosewood Nobility prior to the Caraways. Though Yuma already knew the basics, as did everyone else, she was enraged by the injustice and the inner workings of what had happened, how her family was forced from power by the people and the Caraways and that it had resulted in several family members. When Yuma was eighteen her father passed away, and hardly a month later her mother Marcy had been ran over by a Caraway's Coach...though it is debatable weather it was a good thing that her mother survived or not now that she was partially paralyzed. After her mother had some time to regain herself Yuma was gifted the family sword, one of the very few things her ancestors had managed to take from their house before they where exiled from the mansion and had to start a new life in the village, not that she was complaining others had it immensely more horrid then her family, but still having such things follow you for your life is hell to deal with, anyway Yuma felt something resonate with her as she held the sword for the first time, she felt like she could feel its need for blood shed...but it confused her for at the same time she also got the thought that the sword wasn't supposed to kill, the day Yuma received the sword she walked right up to the Caraway mansion and got as far as Knocking out the guards, severely injuring one of them....she had planned to kill the Caraway's in their beds that night but instead she just stood in front of the door for almost an entire hour before carving an R into the wooden door before returning to her small thatch house.
At the Age of Twenty Yuma was approached by Greerson, the Apothecary, he had been helping Yuma take care of her mother for the few years that she needed the help, and Greerson said to her "You can identify as much herbs as I can, you are a natural at healing people , and I would like you to come work for me" Yuma was hesitant at first but then she agreed to work with Mr. Greerson in his Apothecary, selling herbs and when she was trusted enough, running the shop at times. She learned everything she could as a Greerson's apprentice, herbs, childbirth, Ailments, cures and tonics, and Toxins, Poisons, everything that could be of use to her some day in life.
As she worked she moved up in the world, though still greerson's apprentice as she still had a lot to learn from him, she started selling herbs and potions and started mixing herbs to see if she could get different effects from different things, she also works with the Midwife helping mothers and children, though many are weary of her as some think her Red hair is a warning sign but once they see her work most are very happy to welcome her back a second third and more times.
Though she had started out in a loving family, and not being accepted most places due to her heritage, she soon became welcomed as one of the town, Yuma, going by the Surname Garland, and using Rosewood as a middle name, moved up above the apothecary after her mother passed away almost a year ago now. She still feel's some anger toward the Caraway family and does have some hopes to get them to leave the Town, but she doesn't have anyway to implement them

Biography: Evelynn grew up trapped in the town of Rosewood. She was born the only daughter of the Mayor, and with that came the expectations. She always had to act like this, dress like that, speak only like a lady should. She tried growing up like they wanted. She would practice for hours in her room talking and walking and dancing, like a lady, but he was never proud. The mayor wanted more, no demanded more of her. He wanted the wealth and power of the Caraways, and she was another chance at him getting that. She was suppose to grow up and marry one of the Caraway boys, for her father.
When she turned 16 she finally said the hell with it and broke under his constant pressure for perfection. She became a wild one, not caring for what her father-or anyone for that matter- had to say. She grew to be so happy and free in the following years, that she knew she had to get out. She needed to leave the town and be free forever of all the crushing expectations and glaring looks from her father and mother.
For now Evelynn found her escape in writing and in painting. She would spend hours lost in nature painting untamed landscapes and writing poetry about natural beauty. It was through her arts that Evelynn began to realize she fancied men about as much as she fancied expectations. When she couldn’t escape to the freedom of nature, she would paint people. She began by painting from her window laying on the nook there and drawing as they passed. Soon she moved on to models, well her maids. She would have them pose for her and she would spend hours drawing the curves of their lips and their tired eyes. It was in those moments when she discovered that she fancied them, and not the boys who called upon her. She has yet to act upon these feelings, however with her free and wild spirit it wouldn’t be long at all.
