Background
Roslyn has had a quiet life in comparison to her brothers and sister. Born the sixth child of Rickart and Rhiannon and the second girl, she was not given much note in terms of political impact to the grand scheme of things, nor was anyone particularly excited by her birth. She was simply another one in a factory of children to pop similarly from her mother’s womb. With Rhiannon always pregnant and the sheer number of children, their family never had nearly enough supervision.
For all this, Roslyn seemed to insist on doing things exactly as her father and mother wanted, despite others rebellions. She learned to dance, to play the lute. She even put her attention to numbers and penmanship when it was demanded of her, for all that she didn’t show any particular talent in either of those departments. She carried herself as a lady, and it was never clear why when so many others were going their own ways.
But, she persisted and remained by her family’s side, giving her full attention to lessons and men when necessary. She was the perfect daughter, helpful and attentive to both her mother’s and father’s needs. Even when engagements fell apart due to shifting alliances, she didn’t speak any ill-word on her life. There have been whispers of her age, that she is likely already doomed to never marry, since who would want a wife of twenty-five years? But, she has born it with grace, ignoring the words.
Then, her sister returned after living as a man for years, married to a bastard. And everything suddenly felt like it changed to Roslyn.
Family
To come. (But I bet you know them.)
Physical Features
Dark cholocate curls frame a face that is distinct, pretty even, with full lips and round cheeks. Her hazel eyes are wide, framed by a soft brush of lashes and the high, thin arch of her brows. The slope of her nose is straight and even, the line of her jaw unremarkable. She is average of frame if prone to curves and middling tall.

Allies and Foes
 |
| “Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” - Lao Tzu |
 |
Lady Valda Tordane: I know not what to make of her, digging at my brother's privacy through me. It makes me worry for him, drawn so close to her. One wouldn't easily win a battle of wills against this woman. |
 |
Lord Riordan Nayland: My favorite brother, my fast friend. We have an understanding and a similar disposition in many ways. As always, it will be us before them, for all that we both remain devoted to our family. |
 |
Lord Rygar Nayland: A right and righteous man, my cousin. He has sacrificed more for our family than any of us could hope, and he does it for honor not reward. Perhaps for Riordan, there is no one else I would look to first for advice. |
 |
Ser Jarod Nayland (??): My goodbrother has caused quite a scandal, but I do believe he means to make my sister happy. Though I do not approve of their life, or that my lord father has so easily forgiven them, I can only hope he does. He does seem, after all, a truthful man, for all he is a bastard and a Terrick. |
 |
Lady Jocelyn Nayland: A sweet girl. |
 |
Lord Hugh Asterholm: My cousin is excitable, as expected for a boy of his age, but he means well, I believe. |
 |
Lord Rutger Nayland: I think sometimes, my brother and I have an unspoken understanding between us, between our own feelings of family and ambition. And then other times, I do not think I recognize him at all. |
 |
Ser Rowenna Nayland: Inappropriate, scandalous. For all that, we are sisters. I must imagine what people think when they compare us side by side. Sometimes, I fear, everyone prefers her to me. I would. |
 |
Lord Rafferdy Nayland: As impetuous as the rest of my siblings, but with a touch of melodrama. I do wish he'd have more sense, but I do want him happy. |
 |
Mistress Senna Delacourt: Does it seem silly for a noble to call her maid a true friend? That is how I feel often for Senna, for the steady, humored presence she offers even in times where I am unsure. |
 |
Lady Anais Terrick: A steady, capable woman for all the rumors that surround her and my brother. She has much impressed me in the moments I have spent with her, though I do not think I know her as well as I imagine. |
 |
Lady Lucienne Terrick: Graceful of manner and sharp of wit, with the ability to be warm and political. One must imagine she'd be a formidable ally. |
 |
Ser Justin Terrick: He reminds me much of my brother Riordan, always led with his heart and feelings. I believe he would treat me well, as a husband, and I would treat him well, as a wife. It does not hurt that he fancies me. |
 |
Lady Saffron Banefort: What would I have done without you, during that time? You hardly knew me, yet you supported me when my own tongue and mind failed. You used your own sharp wit and bravery to help me. I admire you, more than you know. |
 |
Ser Garett Westerling: The man seems improper, though I only met him for a moment. I spoke true, where I said I could not imagine anything I could not forgive Riordan for. I cannot imagine so speaking of Riordan before anyone, no matter what he had done. |
 |
Lord Desmond Westerling: I only saw him for a moment, but the man made not an impression. |
 |
Lady Katrin Haigh: The lady is possessed by a generous soul and a good spirit. She will marry well, and capture the heart of whoever so wins her. |
 |
Lady Rosanna Groves: She would make an intelligent and capable addition to our family, and it would bring a great opportunity to see her there. More than that, her youth and energy make me hope that she will be good for my brother. |
 |
Lord Kittridge Groves: What a stupid, fantastic, amusing, strange thing I have gotten myself into. With everyday, I wish more and more that this could last forever, that this amazing sex and light fancy could go on. I will only regret when we have to end it, not that it begun. |
 |
Ser Tommas Belte: A large man, but he seems warm. I wish I could thank him for saving Kittridge's life. |
 |
Ser Kamron Mallister: He seems an honorable knight and a romantic man. I can see what the Lady Saffron sees in him, though I do not envy her him. Not even after he touched me naked. |
 |
Ser Martyn Mallister: He is the less impressive of his cousin and himself, but he is kind. |
 |
Lord Ryker Nayland: If only I had more time with him. I will never forget you. |
