The Good, The Bad, and the Pretty

Name: Rosalie Chase Nickname: "Rosehand" or "Sundown Shooter" Age: 22 Gender: Female Sexuality: Doesn’t know, likes anyone who manages to make her feel safe

Appearance: Tall, wiry frame with sharp, angular features untouched by the sun. Blue eyes as clear as the sky, filled with both wonder and danger. Weather-beaten Red, Mexican poncho. Scared brown leather boots. Riding chaps. A brown, wide-brimmed hat. Keeps a locket hidden beneath her shirt—her “dearest” belonging.

Weapons: Twin Revolvers “Mercy” & “Malice”: Matched Peacemakers modified for speed draws and near-flawless recoil balance. They sit low on her hips, worn smooth from constant draws, and lossless duels. Mercy bears a silver engraving of a rose; Malice, a snake coiled around a dagger. Rosalie claims she flips a coin before deciding which one speaks first. Winchester Model 1866. Hidden derringer in her sleeve for “close conversations.” Bowie knife with a mother-of-pearl handle—her brother’s.

Personality:

Rosalie Chase lives somewhere between sinner and saint, wrapped in a smile too kind for the things she’s done. She prefers wit to wrath and negotiation to killing—but she’s pragmatic enough to know when she needs to kill.

She plays the rogue’s game with elegance: flirt when you can, fight when you must, and never let them see your hand until it’s too late. A silver tongue wrapped around an iron will. There’s a faint melancholy in her humor, as though every joke’s got a little bit of goodbye in it. Beneath her poise is something wounded but unbroken—a woman who’s lost too much and still refuses to call it defeat. She doesn’t trust easily—she’s been betrayed too often—but she’ll risk herself to protect someone who’s earned her respect.

She has a soft spot for underdogs, a disdain for bullies, and an unspoken rule: never kill for gold alone.

When angered, her draw turns wordless and absolute. When amused, she’ll smirk, tilt her hat, and walk away before anyone realizes they’ve been robbed blind.

Backstory: Rosalie Chase was born in the year 1853, in the mining town of Silvervale, where her father struck dust instead of gold and her mother died before she could walk. When the railroad came through their valley, they tried to take the ranch “legally”—but when the sheriff and his deputies came to evict them (each one on the railroad's payroll). Micah, her younger brother, tried to fight but Rosalie pulled her father’s old revolver first. By morning, two men were dead and Rosalie was branded as a murderer.

When Sheriff Thompson and the rest of his men came for her, Rosalie fought them off until her brother helped her escape. Micah died defending her, and their father died of a broken heart and a pile of debt.

Years later, she resurfaced under a new name, hunting bounties, while also being an outlaw herself, across Nevada and California. Every outlaw she’s crossed since has either owed the Sheriff or died for him. Rosalie made a posse, outlaws that followed her out of fear and because of her talent. She robbed from the rich, killed those deserving and hustled her way to infamy. She learned the truth about that day she left her father’s house: the Sheriff Thompson kept something of Micah’s—a locket with their family’s photo—and a map of where her father had found a gold mine, untouched.

She let herself be captured by his troops once—deliberately. The plan was simple: break into his stronghold, take back Micah’s stuff, and settle the score one and for all.

Infamy:

Wanted Dead or Alive in three territories.

Accused of train robbery, impersonating a marshal, and grand theft of “federal property.”

Bounty: $12,000, dead preferred.

Known to wear a painted rose on her glove after every confirmed kill.

Goal: Reclaim her father's map and Micah's locket from the Sheriff, find the gold, and use the gold to buy a prosperous farm in the grasslands.

Likes: Her Horse: Named, "Longstride," it's Rosalie's favorite mare, never lost a chase on her.

Card Games & Wagers: Rosalie loves poker, not for the money but for the faces—watching people lie, sweat, and fold under pressure.

Fine Whiskey: Prefers aged bourbon or anything smoky enough to burn twice. She claims she drinks “for the taste, not the forgetting.”

Old Country Music & Humming: When alone by a campfire, she hums old ballads her mother used to sing. It’s her way of remembering what peace sounded like.

Roses & Perfume: Keeps a pressed rose petal in her coat pocket and wears faint rose-scented oil; it’s part affectation, part armor—softness as defiance.

Quiet Evenings: Despite her reputation, Rosalie values calm—moonlight, a quiet night sky, and a loaded gun just in case.

Tales of Heroism: Secretly loves listening to dime novels about noble outlaws and tragic heroes, though she’d never admit it.

Dislikes:

Authority Figures: Sheriffs, generals, and anyone who hides behind a badge or title. She’s seen too many use “law” as an excuse for cruelty.

Rain: The sound brings back memories of the night she lost Micah. It was raining hard enough to drown the stars.

Begging for Mercy: She respects strength, even in defeat. Pleading makes her uncomfortable.

Being Called ‘Missy’ or ‘Girl’: Instant glare. Instant threat.

Betrayal: Few things make her blood run cold faster; once her trust is gone, there’s no getting it back.

People Who Kill for Fun: She draws the line at cruelty. Rosalie kills for cause, not pleasure.

Quirks: Slight Southern/Western drawl, particularly on vowels. Occasionally shortens words or slurs endings when relaxed or teasing: “somethin’,” “anythin’,” “gonna.” Rosalie drags some words, teases in her cadence, and leaves pauses to let her smirk carry the meaning. Her speech has a sing-song quality when teasing or making bets — it’s rhythmic, like she’s always calculating the tension in the room. Can shift tone instantly: the charm melts into cold, efficient danger without missing a beat, making her accent part of her emotional armor.

Draws Roses in the Dirt: Whenever she camps, she sketches roses absentmindedly with the tip of her knife.

Flirts as a Defense Mechanism: Uses charm to keep people at arm’s length—better they fall for her smile than see her bleeding inside.

Keeps a Poker Chip in Her Boot: Lucky charm from the night she won her first big hand (and her revolvers).

Hates Killing Birds: Thinks it’s bad luck—says “they carry souls on their wings.”

Habits:

Spins Her Revolver When Thinking: A reflex born from years of muscle memory; the click of the cylinder helps her focus.

Tips Her Hat Before a Fight: A small ritual—part respect, part warning.

Lights Matches with Her Thumb: She flicks them on her belt or boot heel; always dramatic, always controlled.

Never Sleeps Facing Away from the Door: Old habit from life on the run; she trusts no room fully.
