...Rosa, t'most.
This is long, long, long overdue. I kept putting off playing her because there was an RP waiting to be wound down, and I owe Nashira huge apologies in never managing to be around at the right time. I know you put a lot of time into it too.
Ah, well.

You topple over and cease to breathe.
You have died of natural causes.
A trinoceros stops following you.
Quote:
Rugged and lean, this ancient mare, with the shadows of her ribs showing,
and a bit of sway touching her back; her skin is leathery in shade and
texture, her hide is crazily splotched white and strawberry roan. Her
narrow face is weathered, much tracked by time, creased with laugh-lines,
furrowed with shadows of thoughtful frowns; her summer-green eyes gleam
within sunken sockets, and her mouth, though grown somewhat pinched, is
framed with deep lines etched there by a lifetime of grins and laughter.
Only traces of auburn remain to her tresses and tail, which are gone to
greys, pewter and silver, and like her coat, splashed with white; the mane
hanging mostly loose, save for one lock of fading red-and-white that hangs
in a slender braid by her face. Faded tattoos distorted by sagging skin
mark her arms, twining across the dark, age-mottled skin: a vine curled
about each from hand to shoulder. The left is green, in places still
spring-bright, with delicate leaves. The right is withered, faded
winter-dark; its leaves skeletal husks.

The hours...I went through several periods of inactivity, this last the longest. She started out as an alt, a way to try out scouts with a friend. I was still playing Alynwen, and Rosa just outshone her, took on a life and personality of her own and just took off. She was a blast to play.
Thanks...too many to ever remember. But I'll try!
Arastipha, her first best friend, and Alifer, her second best friend, get the biggest thanks, and shame on you both for disappearing!
Liya and Kegyce, her scout teachers, Agavot, who led her to both faith and cause, Trevel and Filliokwe and Oraeus, her Druid teachers...I can't begin to thank you guys for the awesome RP. I had no knowledge of the Druids, and little of scouts, and you guys made the world come alive for Rosa.
Lirimaer, her favorite priestess....Yulig, her favorite bard and wit-rival
...Strai and Gallus...Aase...Zaafir...Chauld, even though he wouldn't stop shooting her
...Aldlerwor...all her students...all of the Druids and faith of Nashira...and so many more.
I'll try to add more when I write up her history. Everyone I forgot for now I do apologize, I should have been ready to write this up...but it still took me by surprise. Thanks to all who made her fun.
ETA: I can't believe some of the names I left off. Rikka was one of the griffons that made Rosa adamant against the anti-griffonness of her faith; Suurcieh enrichened the whole daemon hullabaloo, and her touching tribute at the Harlequin Masquerade. Sorry OA! Tyna (despite her feelings about Nashira) had some wonderful interactions. I love that she wanted a written copy of the dwarven ale song. Also Valeria, through some pretty tense times still a constant friend, Gork, he of the wonderful faith RPs, Ishiye-didn't you run the contest of wit? crazy wolf lady. Others...Lahrel, Sterk, Elia, Asraya, Vartan (already dead, but wonderful River conversations), Yavarisakran, that bare-naked halfling...I'm sure more will come to me. Sorry guys.
History I'll post later for those curious. Maybe then I'll remember more names. She always said she had a memory like a leaky bucket...mine's no better.
Alas, all good things come to an end?
