Name: Rosalina “Rosie” Thorne
Face Claim: Thumbelina
Age: 16
Fairy tale: The Rose Elf (Hans Christian Andersen)
History: Rosie grew up as a farmer’s daughter. When avoiding chores, she would sit outside and enjoy the sounds of nature. Her favorite spot was near a honeysuckle arbor…in one particular instance, she ended up eavesdropping on a young man talking about how he loved a woman, but they couldn't be together due to her disapproving family. No sooner he mentioned it than the enraged brother of the man's lover killed him in cold blood. Rosie, terrified of the incident, fainted…only to wake up right inside a freshly bloomed rose and only a few inches high. So, Rosie is in her ancestor’s shoes, forced to bring a wicked man to justice…or vengeance…or both. When in truth, all she wants is to forget the whole thing ever happened.
Personality: Anxiety plagues Rosie ever since she was the key eyewitness to a crime of passion and being big enough to fit inside a rose. As such, she is shy and insecure about her abilities. Even things she could have done normally are now made difficult. She knows the story, but fears no one will believe her – not just a lost lover, but anyone because of her height. But beneath her shyness is a determination to do the right thing and learn to defend herself. She’ll get there eventually.
