Editing Rose Thorburn Junior (section)

==Personality==
Rose, in the beginning, lacks the fortitude to deal with direct threats and has to deal with the mortality of her short lifespan. She takes a more logical approach to problems she has, but she also takes more definite steps towards dealing with her problems, wiling to offer killing as a viable means of dealing with a threat permanently and being more manipulative than Blake is, although he can be the same at times.

Rose is far more studious than Blake, but she has more trouble connecting with others due to the fact that she was raised in the toxic environment of her home and, despite being an alternative version of Blake, never had friends or the same closeness that Blake had with Molly and Paige. This is later suggested because while she inherited the heart and soul of their original he inherited just about everything else.

Because of the circumstances of her existence, she and Blake have an often strained relationship as they weren't equals since her survival was dependent on his and she lacked any sort of agency initially, not helping the fact that she is bound and forced to act against her will by [[Conquest]] and put into a coma by [[Pauz]]. It is later hinted that both she and Blake argue with one another because they can both sense that only one will survive, as it is fated that Blake would die and she would take his place, and that her increased desire for agency is an aftereffect of lingering around Conquest so much that his essence has bled into her. In addition, the fact that her hair was used as the means of binding and it wasn't perfect means the effect is building over time. Eventually Rose grew tired of fighting with Blake on this and then their relationship became less hostile, to the extent she allowed him to possess her rather than condemn him to the abyss.

When drawing on Conquest she becomes more authoritative and confident, but after Blake gives her his memories she grows more affectionate to her friends, to a noticeable extent. In her own words, she has learned to care for others but is still inexperienced with it, and she has no fear of pointing a weapon at a child.
