"When you wake up next to him in the middle of the night with your head in your hands, you're nothing more than his wife.
And when you think about me, all of those years ago, you're standing face to face with, "I told you so!""

FULL APPEARANCE:
Roisin is a pretty girl. She's tall enough at 6'0" and has an average build. She has a rounder face and a cute upturned nose. Her massive amount of red hair is wildly curly, and to keep it manageable she usually puts it up in some sort of updo. She walks around with a pep in her step and a passion to get wherever she needs to go in the most convenient path possible.
Roisin likes to dress a little on the nicer side, even when she has to take to the skies. With her sister being a tailorcrafter, she's had her embroider fancy little designs on most of her jackets, if not on her shirts and skirts. Most of her clothes are white, blue, or black, but sometimes she ventures out of that to pinks and purples.
PERSONALITY
PERSONALITY:
Roisin is an energizer bunny. It seems she always has some boundless energy driving her somewhere, whether it's work, a hangout, dinner, or something else. She's on the move all the time. She does her best to be optimistic, but even the brightest skies can get a little cloudy some days. The girl is innately curious and always looking for a new source of enjoyment to cure her frequent boredom.
While she's pretty easygoing and good-natured, this serves little else but to make her a total pushover. She struggles with focus, organization, and following through on tasks, but her assertive, charismatic, and self-confident nature keeps her on track toward her life goal: true happiness. Of course, she has a massive fear of being deprived of happiness and the things that bring it. And even still, she doesn't know what would bring her true happiness, so she just has to try a little bit of everything until she's figured out what makes her happy and what makes her want to tear her hair out.
Roisin is a girl's girl first and foremost and will go out of her way to help out her fellow ladies. But, contradictory to her overall peppy but chill vibe, she can be pretty spiteful to those who have wronged her in the past. She'll do anything to ignore them just to make a point and rarely wants to give them a chance to apologize. She's been hurt before, and second chances just give people another chance to hurt you.

BIRTHPLACE: Fort Weyr
HISTORY:
Roisin was the firstborn child of two Fortian weyrfolk. She grew up in the creche with her sister, Talya. The two were pretty good kids, but their dreams differed widely. Talya became an apprentice Tailorcrafter, and was quite good- so good that Roisin had no problem letting her use most of her clothes as embroidery practice since she knew it'd all turn out well. But Roisin? Her dreams were set just a little bit higher... in the air. She wanted to be a rider, and so she began standing as soon as she could.
Lucky for her, she Impressed quite quickly. After only one turn, Roisin had Impressed to a green named Twelith. She loved her dragon, of course, but she had to admit that getting woken up and dragged out in the middle of the night to research something that Twelith was interested in wasn't always great. Over the course of their weyrlinghood, the two got more and more on the same page, and established some rules and boundaries as to what was reasonable conduct or not (so, not waking Roisin up at midnight to study worms).
The greenpair worked in Aurora wing for several turns, and saw their fair bit of drama. The tragedy at Benden, the poisoning of the Trailblazers, Nornth's bloody maiden flight, all horrible but did not affect her directly, thank Faranth. All she could do was sit back and hear the news as it came in.
Of course, she wouldn't always be on the listening end of dramatic events. Roisin met a girl, Katriona, and was fully smitten with her. She'd do anything for her, whatever she wanted, whatever she asked. For three turns, she actively made time in her busy rider schedule for Katriona. She burned the candle at both ends to keep herself and Twelith in good shape for work while trying to appease her girlfriend. Roisin thought their love was what Harper's tales sang of, that the two of them would be weyrmates.
Katriona broke up with her and started dating a man less than a month later. They became weyrmates within the turn. Roisin was devastated. They didn't have problems, or at least Katriona didn't cite anything like that during the breakup. It hurt even more that the only reason she gave was that she wanted kids, biological kids, and that Roisin couldn't give her that. Three turns, all that hard work Roisin put in making time and making it work, giving Kat all the love her heart had to give, and for what? Just to end it because Roisin was a woman?
It took her a fair bit, but Roisin eventually moved on... but she'd changed. Nothing anyone would notice until it was too late, likely. Roisin's closed herself off to giving people second chances. That only lets you get hurt a second time, and it's bad enough getting hurt the first.
Roisin transferred to the Equinox wing upon its formation and has been enjoying it so far. Besides work, she's been enjoying going to Hatchings, hanging out with friends, and living life to the fullest. Of course, that scare with the wher going haywire worries her a bit.
