Rose Carey is new in the city, and is still adjusting. A freshman in the local college, on a full scholarship, she is under a lot of pressure, and not just study-wise. Some bureaucratic mix-up has left her without a dorm room and forced her to rent a little loft apartment and keep house by herself. That's quite a challenge for the small-town girl who had never been away from home before, not even to summer camp.<br/><br/>In truth, housekeeping is not a problem, neither is money. But Rose is lonely. The oldest of four children, she is used to a busy household, and her new place can feel awfully empty at times. She doesn't fit in with the popular crowd because she's not really interested in partying, so she has made few friends so far. She prefers to take long walks and watch other people's lives from outside.<br/><br/>She wants to be a teacher, although she hasn't yet decided on preschool or elementary. The local librarian's darling already, she seems poised to devour every single book she can check out. A talented flautist, as well, she can be heard playing late into the evening, oddly to no complaints from other tenants.<br/><br/><strong>Summary:</strong><br/><strong>Age:</strong>18<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Chestnut brown<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Bluish green<br/><strong>Body:</strong>Lean, all arms and legs<br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'4"<br/><strong>Voice:</strong>Soft, almost singsong, with a recognisable but not pronounced Welsh accent.<br/><strong>Status:</strong>Single<br/><strong>Job:</strong>Student
