Rosalie Lawson

Rosalie is able to read the thoughts of others, though she's not entirely able to control the ability. She will occasionally get migraines when she's in largely crowded places due to not being able to fully block out people's thoughts. Her ability is slowly growing and she's working on controlling it the best she can.

Rosalie is the youngest of two born to Adam and Rebecca Lawson. Being apart of one of the founding families, she belongs to one of the wealthiest and more prestigious families of Willow Creek. Rosalie was the baby of the family and she was certainly raised that way. The Lawson family has owned the local coal mines for many generations leading to the family owning one of the largest and most successful utility companies in Massachusetts. Her older brother, Eli, was always expected to take over the company so Rosalie just liked to sit back and observe.

Growing up, Rosalie had quite a few friends. She absolutely loved talking to people and chatting everyone up. There wasn't a single day in school that she wasn't getting called out for talking too much, she is definitely a little chatter box. Her parents always liked to tell her to pick and choose who she spoke to due to.. their status.. But, Rosalie honestly didn't care, she never judged anyone. She just liked people. Despite being a Chatty Cathy in school, her grades were good. Well.. Not math, but who ever uses math? When she hit high school, she followed in her brother's footsteps and joined a decent amount of clubs. Adam and Rebecca made if very clear that she was to do whatever it took to keep their family looking good in the public eye. Clubs, good grades, and she was even a cheerleader for a couple of years. Rosalie always thought her family was the full package.

After high school, Rosalie decided she was going to pursue her passion for writing and take up multiple writing and English courses at the university Crawford City. Her big brother, Eli, always rooted her on with her writing and made her feel like she could accomplish becoming a best selling author if she put her mind to it. Their family on the other hand... they made it a point to tell Rosalie to pick a more practical and stable career choice. She felt like she was a cross roads for a long time, but with the help of Eli and her best friend, Elaina, she told her parents she was sticking with the choices she had made and she did it with full confidence.

Rosalie, though taking classes at the university, still helps her parents keep up the face with the family name and tries to help out the best she can. It's hard for her to deal with her family though because of how they pushed Eli out. It's easy to say that she feels her parents' morals lean the opposite way of herself and she struggles with voicing her opinion with them from time to time. Even though her family pushed Eli out and cut him off, Rosalie still fully supports him and his dreams since he's always done the same for her. In her heart, she feels like her big brother is her rock and keeps her grounded when their family tries to corrupt her morals and way of thinking in any way. She still lives in the Lawson Manor, but she certainly has a hard time feeling like she belongs there anymore.
