General Appearance: Rosa is starting to re-discover herself.

Now, all the clothes have been tossed, and she starts all over. She keeps her hair in a pony tail, as opposed to the tight bun she was used to wearing. She’s been wearing jeans a lot lately, and a sweater. She still loves her heels, but everything else has changed entirely

Overall Personality: Rosa has acquired a taste for money. Unfortunately, with her now being out of it, this means that she would do almost anything for it. Having been used to living off a champagne taste, Rosa has been out of her element being completely broke. She can come off as snobby and selfish, but she really does have a good heart. She would do anything for her kids, even if it means giving of herself to take care of them.
Rosa has had her spirit broken. Anyone who knew her when she was a teenager, before she was ever with Carlos, knew her as a bright, happy girl. But over the course of her marriage with him, she has had it drilled into her head that she is nothing. As a result, she is shy and it’s hard to get her to talk to just anyone. She has to learn to trust herself, as well as other people. Until then, she is really quiet when in a crowd, and she tends to cling to Marco.

Pets: n/a
Hometown: Venice, Italy
Background: Rosa was born the youngest of four children. As such, she was always spoiled. Her parents gave her everything she wanted; toys, clothes, etc. As she got older and went into her high school years, Rosa was instantly one of the more popular kids, though she never sacrificed anything to get it. She was just one of the beautiful girls who got along with everyone. She lived in Venice until she was sixteen, at which the young Italian met a boy named Lucas Valieri. The two got along great, and he took her back to his hotel room, where they would have slept together had it not been for the interference of her cousin she didn’t know was in town. Marco and Rosa reunited after years that night, and she wound up going back to Toronto with him.
Depression settled in not long after she got there, especially after the school was attacked by the principal. Rosa wanted to run away, but never wanted to hurt anyone. So she decided to fake a kidnapping. Things went terribly wrong, however, when she was taken for real and tortured until the one she had set it up with agreed to come. She was released, and never told her family about any of it. It was then that she decided she wanted a change of scenery. After taking a test to get her diploma early, Rosa got admittance into a college in Boston, and moved over there.
That is where she met Carlos Prada. The young man was several years older than her, and was in his first year at law school. He had high hopes, including being a senator and eventually, president. Rosa admired his ambition, his dreams, and especially his money. And after he got an internship with a law firm at the ending of his first year, the two went out to celebrate, and as such, it turned into both of them losing their virginities (or, so he told her). When she found out she was pregnant, he panicked and asked her to elope with him.
The two married in a hurry in Atlantic City, lying about her age because she was not yet eighteen. When the twins were born, it looked like they simply were born a few weeks early. Carlos offered to drop out of law school to care for the family, but Rosa reminded him of his dream and insisted that he continue. Nicholas and Erick were a year old when their father graduated as valedictorian from Yale law. He was offered a job as campaign manager for the New York senator at the time and took it. It required a lot of travel, but Rosa was right there waiting for him, and every time that he was close enough to come home for the night, it was spent passionately and heatedly.
The second time she got pregnant, she found out while he was on the road. When she called her husband up and told him, he informed his employer that if he won, he would have to get a new manager for the re-election. He was done after the votes were in, because he had a family to tend to. The election would be taking place in a matter of months, so he stayed away and finished the job. The day they took the ballots, his daughter, Haley was born, and he wasn’t even there. Rosa decided no more children, if she would be giving birth to them alone.
But, Carlos promised her that was done with. He was moving on to bigger and better things. First things first, he was going to get himself elected as the Attorney General. Then, as mayor. And Rosa went from being in the shadows to her and the kids being at the forefront of the picture—Carlos and his lovely family. Some of the earliest pictures in the kids’ lives revolved around a new suit or dress and smiling for the magazine or newspaper. And as the campaign manager described it, Rosa’s rare beauty was doing wonders for the polls. Even Carlos publicly called her his lucky charm, after he had won his second election in a landslide.
While his career was skyrocketing, their relationship was starting to take a downward spiral. The more successful he became, the more he belittled and berated her. If she complained about not having any time with him, he would taunt her, saying she was nothing more than another one of his trophies. When she got fed up with what he was saying and threatened to leave, it got worse. He would tell her that she was nothing and couldn’t survive without him. Every argument they got into led to him telling her what an idiot she was and that she was nothing. And after hearing this for years, she started to believe it.
Things started to get a little bit better when he started planning for his senate campaign. Three children is nice, he was told, but four would be better. So, he wanted her to have another child. Carlos began romancing his wife one more, treating her the way she had been wanting to be treated. He brought her roses, told her how beautiful she was, and how much he loved her. And of course, she agreed to spending nights together—after all, they were married. Before long, baby number four and a campaign were both in the making.
Carlos’s plans got major, and he wanted to include her brother this time. They had heard that Antonio had started making puppets in Venice, and was now in France. Carlos thought that if he could make an authentic marionette for each of the representatives, it might boost the ratings. He also agreed to give some to children as they went and met them. He wanted to look like a real family man, even if he wasn’t. The strategy worked, and Carlos won his senate seat.
Of course, once Carlos was in office, things went right back to where they had been before. By the time Helena was two years old, Carlos was back to telling Rosa that she was nothing, she could never make it without him. She could never survive on her own because she wasn’t intelligent enough. He would yell at the kids, but that came to a halt when Rosa intentionally said something to him to direct it at her. She could never stand to see her children spoken to that way. She would much rather stand there and take it.
It didn’t just end with verbal abuse, though. By the time Haley was four, and the kids were teenagers, Carlos began getting worse and worse. In one argument, Nicholas walked in on them in enough time to see Carlos strike her. When he saw the teenager, he walked out, leaving the house altogether to get a drink. It was then that Rosa decided that her marriage had to be over. But she couldn’t just leave. Not now, not when Carlos was already angry with her.
She waited until after Carlos had returned home, drunk, and passed out. Then, at three am, she gently woke the older kids. She had already packed each one suitcase. She had Nicholas carry Helena as they rushed to the car. She knew where she was going—Marco’s house. Her cousin had always treated her like his sister. She was closer to him than she was her own siblings. So, after having the kids in the car, she headed for the border.
It was only a matter of time, though, before her husband found her. And one by one, he managed to take each of her kids, except for Erick. With the help of her family, she has gotten Nikki and Helena back. She still hasn’t gotten Haley back yet, but she fights to get her every day. She fears that she will never see her daughter again, because if Carlos is violent enough to hit his own wife, what would he do to her children?
