A group known for it's love for petty theft, nimble fingers, cheating at cards, stealing cattle, and women. They occupy Warthington Ranch and it's full of stolen cattle and goods. Horse: Gray American Quarter Horse Bio: Rosie lived a happy, normal, American life. She was the youngest of several bothers and sisters, living on a nice ranch with her mother and father. She never liked wearing dresses and doing a 'ladies work' with her sisters and mother. She much rather spend time with her father and brothers in the fields, working dirty and hard. Her father didn't mind the extra help on the ranch, thinking it wouldn't hurt to expose the girl to caring for animals and hunting. But Rosie's mother was furious. Her daughter shouldn't be doing such filthy things, she should be learning how to be a good wife. Rosie would never find a good husband by shooting guns and riding horses. And Rosie couldn't be happier. Eventually Rosie was too old to be hanging around home anymore. Some of her brothers and sisters had stayed behind to take care of their parents in their old age, but Rosie didn't want to be held back. She soon met up with a childhood friend, Meg Malay, and the two opened up a general store together, as a way to pay for their daily expenses. The store was mostly run and operated by Meg, because Rosie had different goals. Meg had it in with one of the members of the Bass Bell Gang. Who, at first, begrudgingly allowed her to join in on their robberies and scams. It brought in good money, and the thrill Rosie loved so much. Her crimes were always minor; stealing the wallet off a drunk man, sneaking off with someone elses livestock, taking food out of stalls. Nothing big enough to get her in trouble, most lawmen just take her for a poor innocent prostitute, after which she steals their money and rings. Any additional info: Rosie is a pretty friendly gal, even going as far to befriend fellow gang members and outlaws. She loves the thrill of stealing, as well as the financial support it brings. She isn't a big fan of lawmen, as well as the law itself, but she continues to behave outside of her gang activities. Rosie is also very protective of Meg, who she would risk tooth and nail for. She also has a pretty big soft spot for dogs.[/hider] [hider=Gang Hideouts]Fort Mercer: available Pike's Basin: Blackwater Dragons Solomon's Folly: available Tumbleweed: available Twin Rocks: Ryder Gang Warthington Ranch: Bass Bell Gang El Presidio: Mexican Army Nosalida: available Tesoro Azul: available[/hider] [hider=Gangs] Ryder Gang Blackwater Dragons Mexican Army Bass Bell Gang[/hider]
