Storytelling Hints
Rose is a honest, compassionate, and loyal person who has no concept of the truth behind her family. It it only her unquestioning love of her sister that allowed her to believe they'd harm her in any way and she still is wrestling with it, wondering how it could be true. She has been raised to be considerate to others and tend to their needs and takes great pride in her role as a caregiver. Any attempt to belittle her for it will earn rare anger.

Background
Rose has grown up in the restricted, paranoid world of the MacLellan Clan. Tutored at home, seldom allowed to leave the house and never unaccompanied, she rarely had contact with anyone who wasn't a family member or a servant. She was schooled in what was once called the "womanly arts" of housekeeping, sewing, and dance. Denied any real exposure to the outside world, though, she didn't really have the perspective to think any of this was amiss. She grew up close to her older sister and protective of her kid brother, lacking much in terms of emotional support from her distant mother and often frightening father. Her sweetest adult relationships were with the family tutors and servants who looked after them (most of the latter also distant relations). It wasn't until the last few years that she has taken a critical look at her family, sparked by her arranged engagement with distant cousin Greg, Gregory MacLellan's great-grandnephew and namesake.
Recent Events
For about a week, Rose has been experiencing bursts of anxiety often accompanied by glimpses of spirits, oddly shaped shadows, and strange sensory phenomena. Her sense of smell has been extremely acute, causing her to be bothered by even mild scents, and her hearing has also been sharper, though not as much so. Her sister was the first to notice and begged her to run away from home, taking her into the secret room in the basement where the book of the family is kept and showing her the women who have died. Thinking it has to do with hereditary madness and these women were sent away, she took the money her sister gave her and the card for "Black Dog Security" and left that night. Unfortunately, before she could find her way she was mugged and lost her money, ring, locket, and purse with the card in it. Left on the street, she ended up at a crack house where she was raped and beaten. The next day, wandering in shock and without direction or resources, she was found by Twilight and taken to safety. He felt that something was odd about her but was willing to write it off as side-effects of shock until he caught a couple glimpses of the spirits around her and decided to take her to the Squatter's House.
