[/size]I dreamed I was missing.
“You were so scared”
“But no-one would listen”
Cause no-one else cared.

``Rose ‘maya’ Franklyn``
On the stool, the old hat yelled at me.
I have been wandering these halls now for sixteen years,
But I am only a fifth year.
I have no special talents, I’m just a girl.
On my birth certificate it says Rosalynne Maya Franklyn
But I go by Rose.
I’m quite outgoing but can be shy. I like to think I
Am a loyal friend, but I do make mistakes and I have
Been known to let people down.
I’m a single lass, but love is not everything.

[x] When she’s confused, her eyebrows knot together, her eyes look down and she chews on her bottom lip.

Mirror of Erised:
She see’s an ideal world. Where Muggles and Witches can co-exist together in complete harmony. She see’s herself in a job she would enjoy, a husband she can love and some children who don’t have to fear using their power in the muggle world. She see’s herself being able to help people and passing on what she knows to her children.

Overall:
T h e F r i e n d
Rose is a passionate person, she tends to put others before herself and though it doesn’t always work very well she feels better for trying. She’s the kind of person who would go out of her way to help someone who needed help. Whether it be human or beast, she is completely incapable of not helping those who need it. She’s a little too trusting sometimes and people have been known to take advantage of it, though in some cases she can be a little wary. She’s a very outspoken girl, not guarding what she says and more often than not it gets her into trouble. She finds in herself that the truth is more important than trying to dodge it to make someone feel better. If she feels someone needs to know the truth she will certainly deliver it. Rose wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn’t guard it very well, thus she’s usually the one left hurt or disappointed but she doesn’t let it bring her down too much. She thinks everyone deserves second chances to prove themselves but she usually goes over board with this and continues giving them chance after chance after chance, despite people telling her that she shouldn’t. Rose likes to think of herself as a loyal friend, if you’re her friend you’re her friend for life, she will guard your secrets, cover for you even lie for you if she needs to. Though if you ask her to lie and she thinks you may be in trouble, she will tell someone of authority to make sure you’re safe, despite what you would think of her afterwards.
T h e P e r f e c t i o n i s t
Rose can be very vain when it comes to her appearance. She’s constantly using Vanity charms, occasionally jokes have been cracked that she is part veela or something because of it. Though Rose is no more a veela than she is a goblin. She doesn’t like a single hair out of place and if her make up isn’t perfect she wont leave the dorm until it is. Thanks to her mother, she has perfected Vanity charms and is able to use magic to do four or five different tasks on her appearance at once. Rose is a quick study, able to pick up new spells easier than a lot of people and she doesn’t have much trouble when it comes to reading and reciting. She enjoys pouring hours over her homework, making sure she hasn’t forgotten anything, editing, re editing then doing the final copy. A lot of people tell her she’s wasting tree’s the amount of parchment she burns, but she cant help it. Rose is a perfectionist, everything she does has to be done to the highest level she can possibly attain. People accuse her of having OCD and this is probably true, though she will deny it to her death, naturally.
T h e J o k e r
Even Rose has a different side to her personality. She enjoys having a laugh and a joke, more often than not participating in practical jokes, and as long as it wont damage the way she looks she will happily be a guinea pig for someone’s joke. She enjoys laughing, though she wont take it too far as to completely humiliate someone into hiding. She tries to be able to enjoy jokes without having to have them at the expense of someone else. Though sometimes its like when you see someone fall in the street and you cant help laughing, some jokes people pull are highly amusing and even though you know it will humiliate someone you cant help but laugh along with it anyway.
T h e T e m p e r T a n t r u m & G r u d g e
Rose has one nasty temper. She knows many hexes and curses and if you annoy her too much she wont hesitate to use one on you. She has been known to turn on friends, let alone enemies if they really push her over the edge. Many people know Rose has a problem when it comes to her temper, she cant control and though she tries bottling it all up, it usually explodes all at once on one person and usually that person doesn’t forget it in a good long while. She hates her temper, though she still cant control it, it has gotten a lot better over the years. She’s not as bad now as she used to be in the first and second year, in those years random magic would just shoot from her like it does in untrained Witches and it made her dangerous for a little while. Though with the help of friends she was able to gain some foothold on her temper but she finds she just bottles it up instead of finding a release. She can hold a grudge for a very long time, if you really hurt her though she may forgive you and be your friend again, she will never trust you or be herself around you. She will expect you to let her down again, and usually she waits until you do to get back at you. Though she has been known to put people under a false sense of security just to be able to get back at them.[/size]

History:
She was born on January Fourteenth, but her parents couldn’t decide on a name for her. They flicked backwards and forwards from Shannon, Katherine, Rachel and Jessica for over three weeks. For three weeks she was just ‘baby girl’ to her family. Her brother was three years old when Rose was born and her parents, unable to decide on a name for her since they were told it was going to be a boy they had decided on Leo for her. It was her brother who chose her name. Her parents asked Greg which of the four names he thought his little sister should have but Greg shook his head and said “Rose.” Greg had always found rose’s pretty and loved the smell of them in their garden. So Rose’s mother and father decided to call her Rosalynne, Rose for short.
Growing up with an older brother was difficult for Rose. He was always around, always looking out for her and always interfering. She could never do anything without Greg being around poking his nose in and it used to really annoy her. Though sometimes it had its advantages. When she was nine, a group of older muggle boys saw her doing magic and became offensive to her, not physically, just verbally but enough to upset her. Though Greg was only twelve, these boys were around fourteen, he wouldn’t have best them in a fight at all but he did know one way to get them off Rose’s back. Greg told them to stay away from Rose and threatened them with an ‘or else.’ The boys of course laughed, thinking Greg was small time and not worth fretting over. “Or else what?” The tallest boy sneered, “Or else I will turn all of you into toads. Rose isn’t the only one capable of magic you know.” He folded his arms across his chest, of course these muggle boys didn’t know Greg wasn’t allowed to use magic on them, the boys backed off but kept their eyes on Greg, fearing if they turned their backs he would do it anyway. “Tell anyone about us and our powers and I will do worse than turn you into toads!” He threatened, and Rose was left alone.
The day her letter came, she was over-joyed. Though a bit fearful of what house she would be put in. Greg was now fourteen and of course had told Rose all about the different houses, which was good, which was bad, about the teachers, some of the people, the secret passageways, the trick step and the changing staircases. She soaked it all up like a sponge, but she couldn’t help being afraid of landing in Slytherin. Greg was a Gryffindor, he had always been brave, always liked to be the first to try new things and he told her not to worry, if she didn’t want to be in Slytherin the hat wouldn’t put her there. Of course her cousin Nancy was starting her first year too so she wouldn’t entirely be alone, and he would still be there for her too.
When she arrived, her name was called out and she nervously went and sat on the stool. She stayed for a few minutes as the hat spoke in her ear, only she could hear what it said. “Another Franklyn? No, Gryffindor wouldn’t be the best place for you though.” She already knew that, Rose wasn’t the bravest sort of person. “You don’t seem to suit Slytherin,” Her heart rate slowed sown at those words, “You have a brilliant mind, eager to learn and prove yourself…” The hat mumbled off some more qualities she had and didn’t have before letting itself cry to the world, “RAVENCLAW!”
For five years she spent proving herself to be a very good Ravenclaw. Always with a book in her hand, reading, writing and learning. Her brain however seemed to sometimes work a little too fast for her to actually keep up with and this often made her incredibly tired or gave her a bad headache. She never had much problem with the school work and more often than not found herself helping her brother with his. Greg left school with average grades, getting a decent place in the Law Enforcement office within the Ministry, not exactly his dream job but he could work up, he left Rose with his old study guides and told her what to expect within the O.W.L year. This year.
However, this year was nothing like Greg described.
He never said anything about suits of armour attacking people. Portraits coming alive and people seeming to have split personalities. Even she was affected when she was at school, her temper becoming shorter than ever and she seemed to have very little patience with books. She wasn’t affected as badly as some people were, the purer of blood. Only half of her was affected being half blood. She loved being a witch with a witch parent but sometimes in these times she couldn’t help wishing she was a muggle born, since those are the people who don’t seem to be affected. Rose tries to concentrate on her O.W.L studies, but is finding it increasingly difficult due to all this magical catastrophe.
Can Rose ride this out?[/font][/size][/blockquote]
