Appearance: Rose is a tall, thin, young woman. She has long, reddish brown hair that is straight and poofy and usually tied back with a ponytail holder or hair clips. Her hair is perfectly groomed, styled, cut, and usually smells like strawberry. She has perfectly straight teeth with pointed canine fangs due to being part fox. Her eyes are almond shaped and chocolate brown colored. She usually wears a lot of make-up. Due to her supermodel career, she is very thin and muscular, and addicted to exercise, fitness, and nutrition. She has very slender fingers, which helps with her playing the piccolo. She has milky white skin that she is careful to groom and protect from damage. She is a tall 5'10" and weighs a thin 130 pounds. She has three tattoos: one on her shoulder is a rose with thorns and a black paw in the middle, one on her waist is an aquarius symbol, and one on her thigh is a heart made of a treble clef and bass clef. She has normal ear piercings as well as a bellybutton piercing and a cartilage piercing on her upper ear. She wears very fashionable clothing and her usual attire is shorts and skirts or skinny jeans and tank tops or short sleeved t-shirts. Because of her being part fox, she has a white and red, puffy tail and pointed, furry, red ears on top of her head. When she transforms into a fox, she looks like a regular fox, but her tail is puffier and her fur is a lighter red than most foxes. Also, her body is more slender than other creatures of her species. She usually carries a worn, patched, blue messenger back with her. Items that can usually be found in her bag are: a planner, pens, wallet, notebook, cell phone, MP3 Player, make-up, an orange, sheet music, foreign coins, water bottle, piccolo in its case, and a map of The Facility. Her usual jewelry are earrings, engagement and wedding rings, and a charm bracelet given to by her grandmother.

Personality: Rose is a good leader, but sadly it's to the point of her not accepting other authority figures. She can be rebellious if she does not get her way or if someone ranks above her. She is affectionate to her family and close friends, but it takes a lot to get her to trust strangers since she can be suspicious of them. She can be sneaky if she feels it will be to her benefit and reach her goals. Also, she sometimes uses trickery to get her way. She may seem like a negative character, but she also has a good side! She has a great sense of humor and loves playing pranks and telling jokes. She is a bit vain and overly-confident in herself at times which leads to excessive primping. Once she gets to know someone, she can be very friendly, loyal, and reliable. When she is given a task, she is very goal-oriented, determined, and will do anything to accomplish her task to the best of her ability. She is very creative and musical, and practices often at the piccolo and flute in order to be as good as possible. As a leader, she can be a good listener, as long as people don't get any ideas of being rebellious or out ranking her. Due to her wish to work until she has completed her best, she can work herself to exhasustion and illness. Rose has Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and loves to clean. Her husband, Sam, can be very messy, which drives her insane. Even though he does drive her insane, she is still extremely loyal, loving, caring and affectionate to her husband. Rose's likes are fitness, fashion, and berry smoothies. Rose's dislikes are dust and authority figures. Some quirks are that she cracks her knuckles and will only drink water and berry smoothies. Fears are failure/weakness, betrayal, and loss of loved ones. Favorite colors are red and periwinkle blue. Favorite food is apples. Favorite Music is Rock.

Background: Rose was born on February 4th, 1982 to Percival and Molly Powell in Little Falls, Minnesota. The Powells moved to Manchester, Connecticut when Rose was 1, but moved to close to the future site of The Facility when she was 7. At the age of 15, Rose began her career as a supermodel. Due to her parents stress on education, she maintained great grades and a high GPA in High School. She had to take a break from her career in modeling in order to attend a four-year college, and eventually graduated at the age of 22 with a double major in nutrition and zoology. She chose zoology because of her love of animals and a degree in nutrition because of her love of healthy eating and fitness. Rose met her husband, Samuel Romero, as a freshman in High School. They started dating during High School sophmore year and maintained there relationship through the remainder of High School and College. They had many ups and downs, but were able to remain together through it all, even maintaining a long distance relationship during college. They were married at the age of 25, and they moved to near The Facility when Sam took a job as a Pathologist and Rose took a job as a zoo keeper and model on the main land. Before the strike of Virus X, Sam and Rose lived in a large, blue house near the ocean that was both near the dock to transport to the Facility and to Rose's work at the zoo. When Virus X was created, Sam was sadly the first to be infected due to his career and soon after Rose,too, recieved the disease after getting bitten by one of the zoo's foxes that had come in contact with the disease. Rose was quickly getting sicker when they recieved the vaccine, which seemed to move her even closer to death. A few days later though, she started improve. When she woke up she found that not only had she sprouted a tail and fox ears, but could also morph into a fox. After the incident she quickly searched and located Sam, who had also recieved the power to morph into a wolf. In order to research the abilitys and affects of the virus, Sam and Rose were contained to The Facility with the other hybrid human/animal morphers.
