<<About>>

<<Personality>> 

  Rosa has a very blunt personality, rarely lying or sugarcoating anything that she says. She enjoys playing with the emotions of others, and thrives when given challenges. Through that demeanor, however, lies a razor sharp mind that cuts down anyone who crosses her, in one way, or another. Her attitude makes her appear rather standoffish upon first glance,

 

<<History>>

  Rosa was born in Queens, New York, to Ericka and Jean Lucino. Her family owned a small bakery chain that often did charity fundraisers for the locals, be they homeless, or just needing a warm, freshly cooked meal. At the age of 24, she ended up moving across the country in order to try and make a name for herself on the west coast, setting up shop in the city of L.A., and opening up a small bakery of her own. She was only open for a short while before disaster struck, her store having been ransacked, and utterly destroyed by a gang that took offense to her serving members of a rival organization, leaving her unable to work for a time.

After a few months, she found one of the gang members that she had unwittingly helped with her charity work, and ended up becoming a member of that gang, working as an Intel broker. She swiftly raised herself through the ranks, all the while running the gang more like a Robin-hood esque team of people that went from committing murder and selling unsavory things, to donating to charities, and stealing from the rich in the area. Before she knew it, the gang had evolved into more of a charity group than an actual gang, and even the members had managed to start cleaning their lives up with her help. The senior members of the gang became highly protective of her, going so far as to work as bouncers for her Cafe/Bakery.

Several years later, Rosa ended up becoming a widely respected member of her community, becoming friendly with nearly everyone that lived in it. She was relaxing by the counter, a wine glass filled almost to the rim sitting in front of her. Eventually, the bell rang out signalling the arrival of a brand new customer, and as she moved to stand, she came to the quiet realization that she recognized the man 

That had entered the building was a member of the local police force, a man that had ensured the safety of both herself, and her fellow gang members on many occasions. He eventually took a seat for himself, and she served him a few drinks, and his meal. after that little encounter, she would find that he would show up at her bakery at least twice a week, and it became something that she would look forward to. The man's name was Declan Cian.

The two eventually started dating, and after a while, he would start bringing a young woman into the bakery with him. She would meekly introduce herself as violet, and eventually became good friends with Rosa as well, often visiting the two at their house, and playing Shogi with Declan, or joining in at their weekly poker nights. They were all a group of happy friends, and Rosa felt that they were basically family, easily remaining close to them both. Eventually, Declan popped the question of marriage, which Rosa happily accepted, a smile on her face. After an accident that violet was involved in, she got a tattoo on her face that mimicked the scar on the younger woman's face.

About three years after the wedding, Rosa was relaxing at home, playing Shogi with one of her gang members when she received a call from a hospital. Declan had been shot dead during a massive gunfight, along with two other officers, and that Violet was currently hospitalized in critical condition. The Shogi board had fallen to the floor, the leader piece having fallen out of her hand as she stood up in a flash. She helped care for Violet until she was discharged from the hospital, upon which she simply seemed to quit her job, and bundle up in her own mind. Almost like she had fallen into herself, and just couldn't crawl her way out. Eventually, Rosa found herself falling down that very same hole, finding that she was gripped with deep sorrow. However, Rosa still found her way to keep moving onwards.

Eventually, Rosa stumbled upon a copy of SAO, along with what seemed to be a brand new NERVGear headset, sitting neatly on one of her tables near the abandoned Shogi board She would play with so long ago. A note placed nearby explained that they were for her, and that they were a gift from Violet's family. With that, she set up the game system, commenced with calibration, and dove headfirst into a game of life or death.

Virtues

• Truthful : Rosa absolutely despises lying to others. She may chose to omit some things, or tell half truths when needed, but she will never lie to someone outright. those that know her very well know that this can often lead to her coming off as unusually blunt,
• Trustworthy : Rosa can take secrets given to her in full confidence, and will carry them to her grave if need be. She kept secrets for her friends that most others would simply turn into gossip, making her someone that many would trust with very important information or secrets. 
• Adaptable : Rosa is able to adapt to many situations at a whim, even if the situation is not a favorable one. After years of playing poker with her old gang, she became more than capable of being able to bluff her way out of a bad situation, or rile up someone in just the right way. In a way, she never leaves all her cards on the table, keeping the wild card hidden away, and out of sight.
• Caring : Despite her prickly behavior, underneath those layers is a woman who cares deeply for those that manage to touch her heart. Her demeanor tends to be more of a barrier, protecting her softer, kinder emotions. Her kindness does seem to display in strange ways, though.
• Fearless : Rosa is rather brave, fearing very little of the things that many were scared of directly. She owned a pet rattlesnake, and bred tarantula's as a way to earn extra money. In Sao, she revels in the realism of the monsters on the various floors, leading to her having a problem seeking thrills by fighting excessively dangerous mobs.

Flaws:

• Temperamental : Rosa has a vicious temper, and will sharply and swiftly give the person/mob that drew her ire either a swift tongue lashing, or plunge her dagger through their bodies. Even in the real world, rosa had become well known as the type of gangster that would shoot first, ask questions later in regards to those that managed to truly make her angry.
• Adrenaline Junkie : Rosa deeply enjoys fighting mobs that make her feel as though her blood is rushing hard, and make her feel an adrenaline high. Rosa will often seek out the scariest, most violent monsters that she can get her hands on, just so she could enjoy the excitement that came from doing so.
• Depressed : Despite appearing cocky and overly rude, she suffers from a deep sorrow in relation to having her husband get his life cut so short. Some days she'll lapse into silence for hours on end, or suffer from sorrow-fueled anger. this aspect of herself makes it even harder for others to approach her, lest they see her breaking down.
• Blunt/Sharp-tongued : going along with her unwillingness to tell lies, Rosa is often very blunt with her speech, causing many to be wary of her for fear of her sharp tongue. in the real world, she was well known for being able to cut others down with extreme ease, often able to deliver sharply aimed backhanded compliments to her target.
