[h3][b]OVERVIEW[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent]

[u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Rosie’s form shifts and changes regularly, often shifting slightly to appear more appealing to whoever they are currently speaking to, but there are a few constants. They (at their tallest) stand at an impressive 6’10” in their impressive pair of black heeled boots, with skin toned an ambiguous shade of bronze. They have deep hazel eyes contoured with expertly-applied makeup, though one of their eyes is perpetually covered by their head of thick, bronze hair that goes down past their hips. They typically wear tight, dark gray pants, an understated gray coat, black gloves, and a stylish black beret. No matter how they appear, they always seem to radiate a quiet aura of otherworldly beauty.[/indent]

[u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u]
[indent]A very, very long time ago, Rosier was an angel. They like to say that they were a pretty important one, too. When they’re asked about why they aren’t one anymore, their answer often changes. Sometimes they say that they were a little too zealous. Sometimes they answer that they simply got bored, or that being a perfect embodiment of light and good was too stressful.
 
Regardless, they were a demon from that point on, a creature of lust and temptation. They enjoyed their job for the most part, though for whatever reason, they sometimes felt like their heart just wasn't in it. It was only around the mid-19XX’s when they really began to realize their true calling: Art. There was something that struck them about Earth’s natural beauty. It wasn’t eternally perfect like in their first home, nor was it eternally tarnished like in their second. It was varied, fleeting, and somewhere in between the two extremes. It was something they felt deserved to be captured.
 
They began to travel across the world, painting whatever they found to be worth painting, and making a quick buck selling whatever they thought was worth sharing. While it was something of an odd set of decades for the devil, it was very much fulfilling, and they never stopped travelling regardless of what friends or foes they made along the way, though they often settled for the occasional bit of mercenary work or similar odd jobs.

That is, until they fell in love with a particularly infamous hero.

And had a child.

Parenting was certainly a strange new experience for Rosie, especially since the father never stuck around. Nevertheless, they loved their son Isabella in a way they had never loved anything or anyone before, and they shifted their efforts towards parenting until he was old enough to leave the nest. Well, perhaps he went through a lot after he left it, but… it was a complicated situation. One that Rosie was never quite sure how to navigate. 

Afterwards, Rosie returned to their artistic endeavors, up until they got involved in the quest for the Stone of Power. They were a strictly neutral party, often changing sides depending on whoever was offering the biggest paycheck at the time. In the end, they fought to defeat Oh-One in the final battle, walking away with a decent paycheck. They took a well-earned vacation in Gold City afterwards, partially to relax, and partially to keep an eye on their son.

[h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr]

[indent][u][b]SKILLS & ABILITIES          [/b][/u]
[indent]Rosie’s fighting style is typically as smooth and fluid as they are themselves; they can stay light on their feet with swaying dodges and graceful swings of the knife in one moment, only for their opponent to find themselves with a heel on their throat or that knife in their back the next. It’s all about finesse and well-applied force, switching from serenity to brutality whenever the opportunity presents itself. They typically use their palette knife (actually the sealed form of their greatsword, Rembrandt), coated in shadow magic to turn it into a proper blade. Though if a bit more range and power is needed, they’re perfectly comfortable using the same magic to turn their boots into literal stiletto heels, putting their fantastic legs to work with a variety of kicks.

At range, using their paintbrush, they can leave ink in midair that can be used to make what they paint reality. With much room for creativity and stylistic flair, it’s their preferred method of fighting by a long shot.

When they get motivated, they’ll typically unseal the magics binding their immortal being, returning both themself and their greatsword to their true shadowy forms as they brush off their fast and brutal demonic fighting style.

As an ancient being, Rosie is well-trained in being able to sense all varieties of ki and magical energy.

[u][b]SIGNATURE MOVES          [/b][/u]

[indent][u]■   Cross Section[/u]
[indent]Rosie grabs their paintbrush and quickly draws a line through their opponent, which cuts through them as if it were an imperceptibly fast swing from a very sharp sword. Best suited for long ranges, though it will cut through any obstacles or projectiles between them instead if at all possible.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Pointillist Barrage[/u]
[indent]Rosie draws several dots over their opponent. When they, gunshots sound from midair to turn those dots into bullet holes. Takes more time to set up than Cross Section, but can’t be blocked by thrown projectiles.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Dark Bomb[/u]
[indent]Rosie draws a circle and draws a line through one of its edges, creating a large, cartoonish bomb with a lit fuse, exploding either after a few seconds or upon contact with an attack or enemy. Instead of flames, it explodes into a jet-black, ink-like sludge that digs into the flesh with countless tiny spikes and impedes movement as it hardens, though Rosie is immune to these effects. It will eventually crumble after a few seconds, an attack hits it, or the opponent manages to break free. An undetonated bomb can be “paused” if they cut the fuse with Cross Section, and “resumed” if they restore the fuse with their Restoration skill.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Gale Stroke[/u]
[indent]Rosie draws a swirl in the air which materializes as a strong wind that rages for several seconds. Does no damage, but can slow opponents moving against the wind, be used to roll around a Dark Bomb, extend the distance of their Nevermore dash (in the direction the wind is blowing), and remove stage hazards that were set up.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Happy Little Trees[/u]
[indent]Rosie draws a heavy dot into the ground, which manifests as a seed which erupts into a hearty, full-grown oak tree. It can send an unwary opponent skywards, but it can also be used as cover. It can be chopped down with Cross Section, allowing the tree to fall onto the enemy.[/indent][/indent]
 
[indent][u]■   Restoration[/u]
[indent]Rosie draws whatever was missing from a broken object, restoring it as if it had never been broken. For example, a tree that he had previously cut down, or a Dark Bomb with a cut fuse. It can be used out of combat, though it’s still limited to inorganic matter or plant life, and especially large or complex subjects may be too much for this power to handle.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Nevermore[/u]
[indent]Feathered wings of shadow sprout from Rosie’s back for a moment, allowing for a quick burst of vertical or horizontal movement on the ground or in the air. If Gale Stroke is active, the distance of this dash increases dramatically. In demon form, the move becomes Forevermore, and Rosie corkscrews through the air while forming a spear of shadow in front of them. If they use the move to ascend upwards next to an opponent, they’re sliced and driven up with them by their wings.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Twilight Bliss[/u]
[indent]Rosie spins in the air towards an opponent like a ballerina, with a leg extended. If they hit their target, they’ll catch them between their thigh and their lower leg. The momentum carries their opponent to the ground face-first as they rest on top of them and crush them with their leg.[/indent][/indent]
 
[indent][u]■   Fallen Angel[/u]
[indent]Rosie coats their heel in shadow and raises their leg high into the air for a devastating axe kick. If it hits, they grinds their heel into their downed opponent for additional damage. If the opponent is already on the ground, they can elect to skip the kick. In demon form, they launch four Dark Blades down into them after they land the attack for additional damage.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Round Trip[/u]
[indent]Only usable in demon form. Rosie throws their sword at their foe. It spins around in place for a bit for additional damage before returning to them. In the meantime, they fight using a secondary knife made of shadows that works the same as their knife in their normal form.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Stinger[/u]
[indent]Only usable in demon form. Rosie leaves a trail of dust behind them as they spread their wings and zoom towards the enemy with Rembrandt held forwards, either on the ground or in the air. If it hits, a second, larger blade of shadow emanates from the hilt and slams into the opponent again for additional damage.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Dark Blades[/u]
[indent]Only usable in demon form. Rosie summons a longsword made of darkness, similar to a smaller version of Rembrandt, behind themself that then sails through the air straight towards the enemy in an attempt to stab them.[/indent][/indent]

[u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u]
[indent] [u]■   Blade Formation[/u]
[indent]Rosie snaps their fingers, summoning eight Dark Blades that constantly circle around them for a while until they simultaneously shoot off in all directions. In demon form, they can command these blades in a variety of other formations, such as switching to rotate around their opponent, raining down on them from above, or firing straight at their opponent from behind Rosie in rapid succession.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Devil Trigger[/u]
[indent]Rosie’s body turns to shadows as they reveal their true demonic form. Their strength and speed increases, Rembrandt’s blade extends as it returns to its true greatsword form, and they get access to some moves they can’t use otherwise, but they lose access to their art-based special moves in this form.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Climax[/u]
[indent]Only usable in demon form. Rosie dashes back and forth through their opponent, slicing through them several times, each time using Dark Blades to set up a sword aimed at them. They finish by holding the sorry soul aloft by the neck and stabbing Rembrandt through them as all of the Dark Blades finally activate and pincushion their target. They backflip away, congeal the darkness used to maintain their demonic form into a black rose centered around their brush, and throw it at Rembrandt, causing the darkness surrounding it and making up the Dark Blades to explode. Rembrandt and the brush fly back into their hands as they and the blade return to their normal form.[/indent][/indent]



[u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]Rosie fights only decently at close range and excels at longer ranges, but falters at medium ranges where Cross Section is the only attack with the lack of setup time they need to be effective. Anyone with the luxury of fighting comfortably in that range can shut down Rosie’s ability to fight back if they can keep up with their attempts to move out of it. In demon form, the same concept applies to long-range combat while they cover their mid-range weaknesses.
 
All of their paintbrush attacks are based on their own perception. If their vision is impaired, they become useless even if “aimed” correctly.
 
Though they are immortal, Rosie needs strength to maintain their physical form, and it can be dispersed if they take enough of a beating. At least, until they can gather enough power to remake it. Though decent, their endurance is nothing special, and they are especially vulnerable to holy and light-based attacks.
 
Rosie rarely takes fights seriously; being immortal, they rarely find stakes even in what others might consider a life or death battle. By the time they [i]do[/i] start taking it seriously, the opponent may already have the upper hand.

[h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent][indent]*Rosie is genderfluid: In OOC discussions/situations where their gender is not currently known, they/them pronouns are generally a safe go-to.[/indent][/indent]
