Master Rosalind Sachiko Bloodswell (a.k.a. Master Vampire)
They who should really spend less time in the library.
Rosalind is the youngest
Head of Household in approximately three generations. They'd spent a lot of time and effort trying to keep themself out of coven drama, but they have an unfortunately low luck stat so they keep getting dragged into it. After returning home from their time at
Bluehaven University, Rosalind transitioned into their current gendered role, following in the previous
Rosalind Bloodswell's footsteps. They spent the next seven years keeping to themself (with the notable exception of their secret relationship with
Luna Cromwell), and trying very hard to not fall in love with
Marcus Magnus-Monroe and failing miserably. After the arrest of their mother
Victoria Bloodswell, Rosalind found themself inheriting their Head of Household role approximately twenty years earlier than anyone anticipated, and shortly thereafter found themself engaged to Marcus. Since
Sapphire Thorneheart's attempt on their life and subsequent excommunication, Rosalind has been functioning as the
Honeyshore Coven's intermittent leader.
Physical Description
Naturally slender, 173cm (5'8"), able-bodied, and widely considered to be attractive despite their intimidating aura.
Black, straight hair, narrow, brown eyes, and their hands are always cold to the touch.
Rosalind prefers to keep their wardrobe as simple as possible so, in keeping with their family's motifs, wears almost exclusively black clothes, though often there is gold or scarlet red trim or patterns in the fabric. They wear more masculine clothes and hasn't been seen in a dress or skirt since their welcome home party after their arrival home from school. In addition, they wear a lot of jewelry, specifically a lot of dangly earrings and different kinds of necklaces and collar pins.
Mental characteristics
As Rosalind grew up, they were exposed to the scrutiny and suspicion the Bloodswell family as a whole is subjected to. This caused them to resent their family and their magic for a time. It wasn't until they were about to leave for school that Rosalind found peace in their identity as a Bloodswell and a necromancer. Despite their initial insecurity, Rosalind is a proud individual and does their best to bring honour to their family.
During their time away at school, Rosalind developed feelings for a girl in their year,
Sage Summerest. The two of them saw each other during Rosalind's second year, and it ended poorly. They concieved near the very end of the relationship and miscarried shortly after its end. It was only after this Rosalind was able to accept they could no longer try and live as a woman, and it was shortly after their arrival home and a conversation with their parents that they finally found a role they felt comfortable in.
Discovered they were nonbinary during their time away at school but not that it was an option until they came home at age 20 when they were promptly re-introduced to the community as Rosalind with the help of their mother. They are trans-masculine and prefer generally more masculine behaviours, but they strive to stay largely androgynous and enjoy having feminine flourishes when possible (largley through their love of jewelry).
Rosalind has no gender or sex-related preferences, though they are hyper-sexual. This has caused issues for them in the past.
Rosalind attended the
Bluehaven University studying general magic theory with an emphasis on energetic and spiritual theory.
As a necromancer, Rosalind is often called upon to perform rituals at funerals. In addition, they are also often called to investigate hauntings, strange spiritual activity, or otherwise spooky happenings around the province.
The
Bloodswell family owns a sizeable chunk of the downtown area and most of their income comes from that. They have farm land outside of town, and also have a significant amount of shares in many businesses including the
Magnus-Monroe Mine.
They graduated in the top one percentile of their year and would have been valedictorian if not for a single bad term.
Highest Degree in Spiritual and Energetic Theory
Minor Degree in Foreign Concepts
Minor Degree in History of the Fae
Youngest Head of Household in a century
While Rosalind does their best to stay disconnected from their coven collegues to avoid drama, they sincerely care for everyone in the coven and would lay down their life if it would save them. They have a difficult time bridging their conflicting desires and only begin to bridge that gap when they get engaged to Marcus. Since then, Rosalind has been making incremental progress and has formed a good relationship with
Ophelia Rynauld and improved relations with most of the other families.

History
Rosalind had been in love with Marcus ever since he'd arrived home from school (about five years before the beginning of the story), but had vowed never to act on their feelings due to external social pressures. It was only after Marcus' engagement to Frigga Thorneheart-Wood the Marcus discovered Rosalind's affection for him and decided to pursue them. After a few weeks, Rosalind assisted Frigga but was nearly killed by Sapphire Thorneheart in the process but wasn't because Marcus saved their life. Marcus proposed after that, and they've been disgustingly adorable ever since.

History
Victoria and Rosalind have never been close, though she had always been supportive of them in her own, practical way. The relationship was characterized by her forcing her Heir to go to Honeyshore Coven functions and them hiding at the functions until it was time to leave. After the death of Jun Bloodswell, Victoria fell into some extreme behaviours and Rosalind co-operated with the authorities when those behaviours broke the law, ending her in prison. Even so, she still loves her child, though Rosalind's love for her is complicated at best.
