yes, another profile sketch...they are good for when i want to doodle and have little time...yeah

this is my OC Rose, from my story idea Fear of Drowning (temp title); i have never drawn her before, this was my first attempt and i messed up a lot, while the expression suits her, she doesn't look right; i drew her a second time, not long after this one, where she facing forward and with a more neutral expression to better show her features as this one does not accurately portray them other than the general, outward expression of her internal contempt
side note: i TOTALLY spaced that i had forgotten to sign this, so i just put on my little watermark

• Rose has large green eyes and long, wavy, rich auburn hair; however, very early on in the story she cuts her hair to a messy shoulder/mid neck/chin length in a moment of anger. She is 5"2', has a slender build, fair skinned with generally lightly rosy cheeks; all in all, Rose is very doll-like, which she despises--she pretty much hates her appearance in general, as it effects the way others treat her. The cut on her lips she gets early on in the story as well; she has several others, from various reckless things, however, due to her fair skin when they heal they are nearly imperceptible, which annoys her as her intent was to essentially 'mar' her appearance. Rose is very independent, to the point of adamant refusal of help or reliance upon anyone. She can be easily frustrated and/or annoyed, but has trained herself not to immediately unleash her feelings and/or opinions/thoughts due to dealing with her emotionally crippled mother. Rose has deep seeded hatred towards everyone and everything due to her past with her father, her relationship mother, and herself, as well as dealing with people; with them she has to have a very, 'everything is fine and dandy, no I don’t want to punch you cause you won't stop touching my hair and face and just go away’ mask.

• Rose is 17-18 in the story, and while it seems to be a normal one, it actually is entirely fantasy where she is sucked into another world, one in which she is inevitably forced to rely on others. As a result of a traumatic childhood experience, where her father threw her into a pool to 'learn how to swim,' she is terrified of water and cannot swim, and that world is very water based. Her father, whom she hated for numerous reasons, died when she was 6, causing her mother to have an emotional breakdown which she never recovered from, resulting in Rose having to take care of her. She practices yoga and meditation to help her control her anger toward her father/mother/herself/and others; she is also adapt/fond of things like rock climbing, running, hiking, horseback riding, and throwing rocks at pictures of people she hates. Rose has a lot of bottled up issues.
