"I really shouldn't make promises... but I'll try my best."
Rosaline was left to the Ethos as a baby, after her parents mistook her feline attributes for a terrible Valmar curse. Having grown up quite literally cloistered, the nun became a fledgling Etone after her home was destroyed under suspicious circumstances. Despite her crusade for the culprits having so far been fruitless, she continues on, raising funds for a new orphanage along the way. Rosaline is armed with a pair of SMG-type ARMs called Esdras and Judith, but her real strength lies in her skill as a healing-oriented Crest Sorceress. She also has access, for special occasions, to a stealth-capable Gear called Zephaniah. Rosaline is sweet and kind but very timid, having gained some confidence as a Drifter since she started out, yet remaining skittish around people. She has also been known to fly into fits of violent, incoherent rage when under heavy pressure, which witnesses have described as 'alarming'.
Background
Powers and Abilities
Esdras and Judith: A pair of submachinegun-type ARMs, particularly compact ones by Filgaian reckoning. Silver-colored and polished to a mirror sheen, their names were lovingly engraved on each side, along with the Ethos insignia. While Rosaline's aim with them has improved since she started out, she's still recalcitrant to even fire them in the first place... most of the time. As a bonus, she can purchase ammo at a discount!
Crest Sorcery: Rosaline's true specialty, enabled by several Crest Graphs hanging from a crucifix she carries around her neck. Her usual arsenal trends towards the support- and healing-oriented, with a little offensive magic thrown in as necessary. She rarely uses fire in more than an utility capacity, for Rydia reasons.
Beastman Athleticism: Her freaky physiology, honed by some grueling Etone training, allows her to perform great feats of agility, balance and flexibility. Unfortunately, she also finds a most equipment and tools a bit awkward to use unless they were custom-made for her, which may account for at least some of her clumsiness... but only some.
Beastman Senses: Rosaline's large ears and slit-pupiled eyes aren't just for show. As one would expect of a cat person, she has particularly sharp senses in addition to a vision well-adapted to low-light environments. Of course, the flashy, loud, sometimes stinky Drifter lifestyle means that superhuman senses can have their downsides as well.
Berserker Risk: While under great duress, Rosaline occasionally enters a murderously violent, enraged fugue state is which her gentle personality performs a complete 180. At least as far as anyone can tell, it only seems to be repressed anger rather than any sort of Valmar curse, genetic memory, nanomachine frenzy or secret assassin programming. Still, it may be starting to get a bit out of hand.
???: An ancient, terrible magic that should have remained sealed away. No one, Rosaline herself included, realizes that she wields it, let alone how she came to acquire it. Its effects on reality are subtle but maddening, corrupting all. Brave people have caught a mere glimpse of this power, and nearly been destroyed in the process. Blessed and cursed in equal parts, Rosaline must be extremely careful not to abuse it-- It would leave her an agency-free, contrite husk of a catgirl rather than a person.
Only hoary, reclusive scholars dare whisper its forbidden name: moe.
Gear:
DATA ON GEAR -ZEPHANIAH- CLASSIFIED UNTIL SUITABLY DRAMATIC APPEARANCE IS MADE.
Dungeon Tools:
Blessed Bomb: A bundle of Church-issued TNT with two peculiar magical properties: it can't harm living beings (they should still steer clear of debris, though) and rather than blowing everybody's eardrums out, the noise actually makes listeners feel stronger for a while. All of this perfectly stands up to scrutiny.
Extreme Teen Bible: Some mildly heretical artistic license was taken in this edition of the Word of Granas, in a desperate bid to make it appealing to teenagers with an attitude (i.e., Drifters). Reading it out loud sometimes provides Rosaline an insight into her current predicament, and hopefully motivates her party members in the process. Rosaline has been growing increasingly annoyed with the liberties taken in this edition, but for some reason refuses to get rid of the book.
Holy Water: This seemingly ordinary, refillable vial of Holy Water bears a rare symbological enchantment, allowing a magic user to channel the holy liquid within into a powerful spell called 'Hydro Storm', a downpour that cleanses allies and REALLY annoys crimson nobles.

Relationships
Mentor
Mother Oba - "Not my first mentor. A very kind, if sometimes demanding woman. I wish I had known more people like her, growing up."
The Fox Company
Ida Everstead-Rey - "The daughter of an Etone and a good follower of Granas in her own right. She seems to have some anger in her but... I'm really in no position to speak."
Talise Gianfair - "A half-beastwoman from the Old Moon. A bit of a hothead, but she has a courage in her it's hard not to admire."
Sephilia Lampbright - "Definitely not a kid. I'll still protect her, or at least help her friend Chauncey do so."
Layna Manydays - "A-A real pirate! She's not quite like those in the stories I've read, but... she's been very nice."
Lord Chauncey of Foxington - "Thank Heavens he's on our side."
Friends & Allies
A Horse with No Name - "I've been through the desert on his back, once. I lost him at the Guardian Temple, but I believe in miracles."
Catenna - "A priestess of the... Baskar, I think? Maybe she needs to hear more about the Word of Granas..."
Claude C. Kenny - "He has proven a dependable, if sometimes odd ally. How does he know so much about Gears? He doesn't seem like the... type."
Elena - "A fellow servant of Granas. She can be rude sometimes, but I think we make a good team."
Gwen Whitlock - "Is this what having a big sister is like...? If everyone on Filgaia were like her, it would be a much better place. I'll be praying for the Super Courier's success."
Matilda Whitehead - "I can get behind wanting to make the world a safer place. I should apologize for crushing her muffin, it looked delicious."
Maya Schrodinger - "I-It's like looking in a mirror... She made a generous offer for our future travels, one I intend to take her up on. Surely she's unrelated to those two other women."
Rudy Roughnight - "I feel a bit silly for treating him the way I did when I first met him... He seems like a good person. I wonder what he's been up to."
Jacqueline Barber - "She's done a lot to help everyone, me included. Since she probably has no choice to hit the road, I hope we meet there."
Josephine Lovelace - "She seems to have her heart in the right place, but hopefully one day she realizes that smoking is bad for you. Her pigeon friend could probably take me in a fight..."
Virginia Maxwell - "My check bounced! Did she make a mistake? She definitely seemed strange, but she seemed so friendly. It's terrible, what happened to her..."
Xantia - "She's very strong, but in some ways she's still just a child. I'll keep an eye on her and protect her, whenever I can."
Enemies
Parbody - "Having helped us one time won't counterbalance her constant, egregious sinning!"
Kent Hauch - "I-I swear, the glass of water was an accident... But he and his group will pay for their sins one day, this I swear."
K.K. - "How can someone so evil exist? But maybe my friends and I will be able to stop them from covering Filgaia in darkness."
Yarobeleedt - "Oh no. OH NO."
???
Kalve - "I-Is it really going to be all right? Well, either way, Ida is a friend. I'll keep your secret."
Riesenlied - "I... I don't know what to think anymore. She is no angel, but from what I gather, perhaps no devil either."
Zed - "It seems he really does mean well, in his own unusual way, but I can't help but feel this will end in tragedy. And what is... anime? Do I really want to know?"
