Familiars...3 Mythical Familiars [Proof ]
In the aftermath of the fight against the Forged in Mt. Skeldr, Rose was spending time with Grigori and collecting rocks of all things. While gathering stones she happened upon three that seemed strange. She tried to give them to the foal, however they somehow found their way back to her. Taking it as a sign, the two braided them into her mane as good luck charms.
Jormungand the Rose Quartz Limestone Lindworm Golem
First to reveal her true nature, Jormu was drawn out when Rose's hunger had reached its breaking point. She was so famished that she threatened to level the forest if they couldn't find any food; and to her surprise, level it she did. As Rose would later discover, Jormu is by far the most docile and even affectionate golem one might have the pleasure to meet. While she does seem to relish in a good fight like her sister, Jormungand also enjoys being summoned in Rose's free time for treats and pets. Unfortunately for her she is also the most easily influenced by Rose's emotions; so occasionally she appears under less than ideal circumstances.
Fafnir the Pink Sapphire Limestone Lindworm Golem
After emerging to defend Rose from a Forged ambush, she and Rose quickly developed a bond. Large and in charge, Fafnir dominates her siblings through sheer strength. Nidhogg is the main target of her intimidation, much to his displeasure. She seems to have some level of respect for Rose; as is evidenced by her willingness to obey orders to a degree. They practice fighting in sync often and the golem teases that she could never attack the mare at full strength. Fafnir is Rose's go-to in a pinch; however due to her size that isn't always an option.
Nidhogg the Pink Opal Limestone Lindworm Golem
Since his appearance during an internal squabble among Flanks, Nidhogg has been the hardest for Rose to bond with. He's aggressive, headstrong, and not very bright; as a result the two tend to disagree a lot. Rose tries to be impartial when the golems get into fights, but he doesn't make it any easier by having the mentality of a child. If injured he'll be the quickest to turn tail and run, so he's mostly summoned for scouting. That might be a good thing though because for some reason he is the least bothered by her blessing. Even enjoying when she uses it on him; perhaps due to the control it allows him to exert over her.
Thorn In My Side "Thorn" the Bearded Vulture [deceased]
Not exactly the youngest bird in the bunch, Rose met the irritable old animal when he tried to make off with her precious skull memento. Following a brief tussle between the two, Rose came out on top. She was going to chase the rogue scavenger off, but when it revealed an injured leg as a result of their bout, she couldn't justify leaving him to die. So she took him in, nursed him to health, and he stayed with her. Their similarly uncompromising natures make cooperation difficult, however Thorn has shown a particular weakness for bones, and Rose has used this to her advantage in securing the bird's favor and trust. He was uplifted before they met, so the circumstances behind it are a mystery.
Inventory...Collar, Bird Skull, Hair Clasps, Warhammer, Longbow

Personality
Confident in herself and decisive in her actions... Attentive to others, if unapologetic for her mistakes... Demanding of everyone... Supportive and Considerate... Crass as they come...

Living with her mother, Alva, was difficult for Rose due to the mare's traditional deference to stallions. It had always rubbed her the wrong way, and she grew headstrong in an attempt to defy that mindset. There are very few she respects enough to take orders from, and this independence has made her effective at split-second decision-making among other things. What helped her calling as a medic outshine her want to become a raider was her concern for others (though it might not seem like it at first). Though she treats them harshly at times, Rose thinks of each Bloody-Flanks member like family. At rare times she is even considerate, attempting to fulfill simple wishes for those who need a little love. Still, when it comes down to it needs to be right, even if she's wrong. In her mind she can't afford to be wrong; if it's a personal matter then it hurts her family, if it's a business matter it hurts those she's supposed to heal. She hates to lose because she doesn't want to become downtrodden like her mother, and she will fight against a loss with everything she's got, regardless of the consequences.

The kind of horse born to lead, Rose makes use of this to keep the sick and injured in line. They can't get better if they don't listen, and the headstrong War-Forged generally aren't the type to obey orders. When a someone doesn't follow the medics' instructions is when Rose gets tough, and she will overpower them however necessary. She has high expectations for those around her and, if given the chance, she pushes them to live up to those standards. Regardless of circumstances, Rose is extraordinarily head-strong and hates to rely on anyone. Set in her ways, horses who dare to challenge them are met with an unbreakable resistance; even when proven wrong she will not back down. She takes actions as she sees fit, whether the decision is made logically or emotionally doesn't matter. A real risk-taker, Rose has experienced both great success and crushing failure as direct results of her own decisions. Refusing to bend for anyone, she holds true respect for few. Among those are her fellow medics, her cousins, and Gidal; beyond these individuals she refuses to obey anyone, be they male or female, friend or foe, it makes no difference. That's not to say if someone told her not to jump of a bridge she would do it, but she wouldn't do something just because someone asked. She also won't adhere to rules beyond those sanctioned by Gidal.
Rose curses like a sailor and has no problem making her thoughts known as colorfully as possible. She speaks her mind and can be relied on to call bull when someone tries to pull the wool over her eyes. It can be difficult to get along with her because of her sarcastic tone; it's not surprising that it rubs some horses the wrong way. Believing she can take on the world by herself if she has to, she overestimates her own strength and ability. Bragging about her physical prowess has yet to get her into serious danger, but her bravado has attracted unwanted attention now and then. When she has gotten into fights they usually end with someone breaking things up before she could get seriously hurt, and each time she refuses to believe she would've lost. One of the most disorganized horses to ever live, her belongings are in a constant state of what she calls 'organized chaos'. While she can find what she needs about 50% of the time, if anyone else touches something it might as well have been swallowed up by the abyss. While she does maintain a regular bathing schedule, she pays little attention to her appearance.

History
Rose was a child borne of the alliance between the Bloody-Flank and Bone-Snatcher clans of Onea to overthrow Garok and the Stone-Hooves. Faust , one of the Bone-Snatcher leaders, was wed to a Bloody-Flank mare, Alva, as a sign of good faith between those who resisted unification under a single Warlord. A child was conceived of their union, however Faust quickly returned to his role as clan leader, leaving the foal to be raised within the Bloody-Flank herd. The uprising took a great toll on Alva; she refused to eat and slept little, working tirelessly ferrying supplies to the front lines. It wasn't until she went into labor and collapsed that her condition became evident. There was talk of her losing the foal, however by some miracle intervention the delivery resulted neither the death of mother or child. Only in later years would it become evident that the god Argus had blessed the baby, for reasons still unknown.

Soon as she could walk, Rose was a part of the Bloody-Flanks' daily lives; she was especially fond of her uncle, Gidal , and his sons, Ansgar and Odin . Joined at the hip with the twins, she followed them wherever they went. Demanding attention and affection from them like a baby bird, when they began their individual training Rose was often left alone. She began to throw fits, feeling abandoned by her cousins.

Odin convinced Ansgar that they needed to apologize, and they offered her the mane cuffs she now wears as an adult. For the short time they had remaining together, she would stay with Odin while he worked, and watch Ansgar's sparring practices when it wasn't too cold. She took an interest in both pursuits due to her admiration of them, showering praise on the brothers as children often do.

In her eyes, the twins were invincible.

Not long before the war had almost reached its climax, Odin pulled Rose aside. He made her promise to look after Ansgar, should anything become of him. Being so young, the foal had no idea what he was talking about, and asked if he was going to leave them. Though Odin reassured her he wasn't planning to, he offered her one of his most prized possessions to protect for him until the fighting was over. Except, he would never get the chance to reclaim it; though the twins survived the final battle which resulted in the Bloody-Flanks' exile and Hira's ascension to power, Odin was too weak to survive the journey home. When his body returned alongside his brother's, battered and bruised she thought he was merely asleep. However it became clear when Ansgar found her that this was not the case. She couldn't comprehend what had happened, and Rose cried with her cousin into the night. The defeat of the clan was nothing in the face of their loss. Rose stayed with Alva during the move, and though she still loved Ansgar, she began to keep her distance. It just wasn't the same without the three of them together.

Rose's mother was a product of the Bloody-Flank's old patriarchal society; she became a Scout as it was the only combative role mares were allowed, and obeyed her father's wishes. At first, Alva attempted to instill the same philosophy in her daughter, but it proved an impossible task. The filly burned bright with patriotic pride, a rare commodity among the clan in such dark times. She sought out Calder to train Rose in basic combat, though it soon went beyond that; she took to it well, with a style ferocious enough to rival that of the colts her age.

Then Vidar was born, and so too a new hope for the clan. Their culture was shifting to account for their smaller numbers and fewer resources; each life was a precious resource, and there was no longer room for the luxury of gender inequality. Rose hoped to use this to become a raider like Ansgar; she too wanted to avenge Odin's death. When her cousin got wind of her plans, Ansgar confronted Rose. He forbade her from following the path of a warrior; she would not be taken from him like that. The argument was heated; words were said that would were soon met with regret, and in the end Rose was left in tears.

She slept, and she dreamed, and she remembered her promise.

The next morning Rose informed him that she would become a medic instead; she said it was what Odin asked her to do—to protect him. Becoming as engrossed in the endeavor as Odin had once been, the filly made it her mission to learn everything there was to know. Stress and guilt ate away at her as Rose learned the true nature of being a medic. Horses were often lost; they had very little in the way of medicine, and good intentions could be the most dangerous poison. The experiences hardened her heart, but it did not break.

Astrid was brought into the world, and Rose doted on Gidal's offspring. Any gentleness, any warmth that she had left was given to them; the face that she showed the rest of the world was not so kind.

Not long after she turned 21, Rose left the safety of the clan's home for the first time. She set sail, accompanying one of the many ships which transported the Raiders' loot to market. No sooner had they departed however, were they caught in a storm. Rose was thrown overboard amidst the ensuing chaos and she lost consciousness. When she came to, she had been rescued by Alvaro , a friendly farmer with whom she would forge a lifelong friendship. He helped her recover enough that she could complete the journey to port on foot and meet with the ship again. On occasion she will visit him in secret and insist that he join her when she returns home, but never once has he entertained the offer. Upon Rose's return to Ghosthold she was met with a mare who'd nearly fallen victim to the same watery grave that Alvaro had rescued her from. Cormac had been fortunate enough to find Synn before the freeze could; for his sake, and perhaps as repayment to her own savior, she tended to the stranger. Synn would be only the first of many outsiders whom she would care for; horses who would remain with the clan when they had recovered.

Years passed, and a new era began for the Bloody-Flanks' war. Rose had fallen under the strain of her duties, relying on drug and drink to keep sane. No longer was she the innocent child who so admired her elder cousins; she was the brash and brazen healer trying her damn best not to let anyone else die. Resources were no longer scarce, and medics made do with what they had. When the time came, she trained Astrid; the only horse she ever took the time to mentor, she saw mirrored within Gidal's daughter pieces of herself.

As of her separation from the Trespasser crew, she wandered aimlessly in Onea's woods; avoiding prying eyes as best she could. Horses came and went as she attempted to stay hidden, dwelling on her past mistakes. After having come to terms with her cousin's disappearance and subsequent passing, Rose was taken with shock and disbelief at the sight of Astrid's face among a small traveling party. She might have run to embrace her if not for the company she kept; faces unbeknownst to the Bloody-Flank mare with an aura wicked enough to stand her hairs on end. Instead of assessing the situation intelligently, she charged the strangers. Unsurprisingly, Rose was easily restrained, however before she could begin hurling insults, her cousin stepped in. Astrid declared that yet another disciple had been sent to them by Digend, and that she was to be accepted among their ranks. Though initially defiant, Rose wasn't about to abandon Astrid without an explanation; so she bowed her head and followed the cult into the night.

OtherRose will...
- Fight War-Forged on sight.
- Protect Astrid and Grigori with her life.
- Become very quiet when Vidar is mentioned.

Rose will not...
- Attack non-Forged without cause.
- Summon another's familiar outside of emergencies.
- Betray her devotion to Kaia.

Trivia
- Her main trait is stubbornness, her thoughts are of home and she wishes for vengeance.
- Jormu, Fafnir and Nidhogg's eyes turn pink while under the influence of Rose's blessing.
