As the girls grew older, their status as coming from an 'Upper Middle Class' family was the foundation for their popularity. On top of their status, the girls became 'in the know'. Basically if anyone was looking for any gossip they would turn to the twins. Eventually they formed a small group of tight friends that were known to be the popular crowd. Making friends was always easier for Hope since Faith had a tendency to appear cold to those she didn't know. This often times made her appear to be shy or soft spoken, but in all reality she was always extremely verbal about those matters which meant the most to her. In part her inability to properly sensor herself was part of the reason she kept quiet.
Due to her lack of finesse in the friendship making department, Faith regularly relied on Hope to make friends for the both of them. Even with this being the case, very few of them were allowed to get too close. Faith simply wasn't as charming as her sister, nor did she have an interest in being so. Of the few who actually got to know Faith, the real Faith, the most prominent was a boy named Tripp Reynolds. He was always close to the girls, nearly becoming part of the family, and this is something that Faith came to adore. Tripp became the older brother that she never had and she knew, deep inside, that it would be difficult to replace such feelings.
Time went on as it has a tendency to do. While she would have rattled off a list of major drama filled events if you asked her at the time, looking back on it Faith would say that her high school years were rather uneventful. She focused most of her time between her studies and the swim team, a team that she eventually became the captain of. At the end of it all came college and there was no doubt in what she would do: Faith attended the same college as her sister. Unfortunately for both girls, Tripp decided to attend school out of state. As he packed his bags for Dallas, the girls decided to attend LSU Alexandria campus. Faith managed to find a spot on the school's swim team and majored in Accounting.
When the girls turned nineteen, they learned that Tripp was planning a visit home during the summer. Using their resources to the best of their ability, the twins and their circle of friends from high school scraped together enough money to rent a hall for a party for Tripp. It wasn't a surprise party and Tripp was well aware of what was happening before hand. In fact, before the party he visited the home of the twins to ride over with them.
Apparently Tripp decided during his time away that he was more than just a friend to one of the girls, or so he wished. He visited Faith in her room to speak his mind, going as far as to kiss her. It was so unexpected that poor Faith had no clue how to react at first. After what seemed to be an eternity she finally found the words to tell Tripp that she had never thought of him in such a way. He was a brother to her, and while she wasn't completely dismissing his feelings it would take some time for her to figure out how she felt. With their status mostly unchanged, the two decided it was best not to say anything about it to Hope. Faith's plan was to speak with her after the party and ask for her advice, as she didn't wish to lose Tripp as a friend but wasn't able to say that she felt the same.
All night long Faith tried to find the perfect opportunity to mention that she needed to speak to Hope, but her sister seemed to be constantly busy and surrounded by others. That wasn't hard to believe since her sister always was the life of the party and the one who was better with people skills. When the party was over Faith found her sister refusing to return home. Not only did she wish to speak with her sister, but Faith didn't like the idea of leaving her alone to clean. Especially since she didn't want to be alone with Tripp. Yet Hope insisted and Tripp was eager to speak with Faith more, so the two left. They didn't make it far.
Nearly two years passed inside the institution and over that time Faith began to regain some memories. She remembered her name, for example, but at first could only remember her middle name. Even though she eventually came to remember her full name, she had gone by her middle name for so long that she now preferred it. Faith, now Rose, received heavily counseling and over time began to act somewhat normal. Her memories came back, but only a few of them, and some of them heavily distorted. All she can remember about the night that Tripp died is that she had to tell her doppelganger something important. Ever since that night she developed a deep fear of almost all things supernatural yet cannot remember why.
Inside the institution she overheard another female talk about knowing things, as if she were psychic. After deep consideration, Rose began to believe that she, too, could predict the future. In ways she could, even though it was all through riddles, puzzles and a good bit of searching to try and make a connection. Rose never had any psychic abilities but believed that it had to be the only acceptable reason as to why she lost so much of her life.
Hope visited Rose regularly, something that Rose took some time to appreciate. Her sister was a big aid in her improvements and continues to be the one major influence in her life that is positive.
Rose has gotten to a point in her life where the institution allows her day passes out if she so chooses. They offered to release her into the care of her sister but she refused. As much as she 'isn't crazy', Rose still finds the institution to be a safe haven. Her goal is to one day be the independent woman that she once was, but regaining her footing in life may be exactly what it takes to cause her to lose her mind completely.
***Things have changed dramatically for the woman over the last few weeks. While out one night she was bitten by Hiro, a vampire that she likes to consider a friend. After this caused a fight between her sister and a nurse at Green Oaks, Faith was abused by the system. She was soon rescued by Hiro but broke free and wandered the streets. This is when she was found by Ivan, in what could be considered one of the worst moments of her life. For some reason he took her in until she could be reunited with Hope, and he was given nothing but grief for it. When Ivan was asked by Will to arrange a meeting with the crazy, he soon found that she's not exactly the woman that he thought she was.
Not too long after, Rose was kidnapped by a rogue group of humans and vampires. They used V and her mental instability to convince her that she was turned into a vampire, going as far as to give her fake fangs. Eventually she was rescued, but at the cost of the near-death of the Sheriff. Chloe, the sister of her sister's boyfriend (talk about confusing!) has managed to restore her memories not only of her capture but of the rest of her life. She's still considered missing and possibly armed and dangerous, even if half the city believes that she's dead. She's now conflicted as to what she should do with her life. She will turn herself in, to begin with, if for anything to save her sister's sanity and to protect Ivan. Now that she actually has some of her own sanity she will gladly give her life for him.***
*** In the months since her kidnapping, Rose has been labeled as the city's Queen of Crazy by the tabloids. She's been the subject of many other vampire related attacks, and very nearly was killed by a rogue shifter. When she no longer was safe in Ivan's apartment, she insisted on moving. He accompanied her. With some of the money she received from Green Oaks she bought a house, and that is currently where they life.
Tripp also has made a return, stunning the girl into a temporary state if insanity. Not only have they become friends once more, but she was issued him as a protector. He's recently admitted to his true feelings for her, leaving her conflicted with the current engagement with Ivan. Faith has allowed Tripp to claim her. Now she needs to figure out if her wedding is even still possible. ***
