Garnet Rosales
She doesn’t have any particular nicknames or handles that she uses, as she does have a simple enough name, and she never felt any particular need to use pen names or aliases for her work, wanting to be known for it.
Physical Description
While she is fairly tall, she doesn’t looks too tall for an elf, which she is most often mistaken for with her wings hidden. Her wings are large and bright red, so she will keep them hidden, just to be able to move around effectively. She only takes them out when she feels safe to do so, or it is absolutely necessary she does. She has long ears, not unlike a high elf, so this helps her appear to be one. Her long red hair is pulled back and forms a huge bun on the back of her head with the very long tail with the rest of the length coming out. While she is well endowed, this could be a side effect of her weight, as she is a little on the rounder side, being a fan of eating and not really a fan of exercise. The weight, however, gives her a friendlier and more matronly look to her, which just adds to her charm.
She tends to go with a red lipstick, and dark red nails, being very fond of the colour. A red slight blush is applied to her cheeks, but she breaks up all the red with a green eye shadow. It isn’t widely known, but she does use a touch-up colouring on her hair as she has begun to get grey hairs, and she wants to keep her original colour.
Physical Quirks
She isn’t much for moving around when she’s working, so will more often be seen sitting in a comfortable chair, typing away at the keyboard. She keeps a pad of paper nearby for ideas, and often has a pencil in her mouth to jot down notes. There’s also usually candies in a bowl on the desk, and she will often be nibbling on those if the pencil isn’t in her mouth.
Clothing Style
She tends to go with a business casual look, even though she’s only working from her home. A silky red blouse, which never seems to fit and is usually open, and a mid length red pencil skirt make up her most common outfit. She also has a pair of knee length high heeled boots in red leather she likes to wear, even around the house. She also has a large heart pendant necklace she wears, a gift from her mother when she got her first comic published. On her wrists she wears a pair of beaded bracelets that mimic mini peals, and some gold dangling chain earrings.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Growing up in an average family in Spain, she had a good life and childhood. Her two older brothers were always buying comics, and she would always be asking to read them, getting hooked on the art and stories at a very early age. She became just as much of a fan as they were, and started buying her own as soon as she could. She loved the idea that in comics they could do anything, and she wanted to be part of this world.
As she grew up, she focused on telling stories and refining how she did. She would read anything she could get her hands on, and was often at the library just reading some novel to learn how they wrote these worlds. In time, she started coming up with her own, and finally found someone willing to give her stories a chance, and has been gaining success ever since, even picking up a US residency so she could work in the industry over here.
Education
Instead of trying to go to post secondary for creative writing, she decided to focus on practising her craft. This paid off better for her, as they were more interested in her stories than her resume.
Employment
She started doing odd jobs around town, working at mostly night desk jobs like in hotels, allowing her to practise writing. After about 5 years doing that, and submitting her ideas for comics, she was finally accepted at a smaller publisher. When her first comic took off, the larger companies took notice and began to ask her to write for them. She’s even written series for very well known and beloved characters, and has earned praise from the fans of those series for remaining true to the characters.
Morality & Philosophy
She feels that it is her duty to give her fans and the fans of those comics she writes for, a story worth reading. She also believes that those who write in established worlds should remain true to that world and not try and inject their own beliefs and politics into the work. In fact, she avoids injecting any of her own politics into her work, and no one is really sure what her politics are.
Personality
Motivation
She has always had a strong desire to tell fun and intriguing stories. Being a fan of pulp stories of the past, she feels that fun is more important than some message or moral. She believes that without fun, entertainment is not doing it’s job. She has seen how many have lost the way when it comes to comics and literature and wants to bring the fun and enjoyment back to them, to return them to a place where they aren’t just for those who want to find deeper meaning, but also those who want an escape.
Likes & Dislikes
A fan of much of geek and nerd culture, she loves comics, anime, and especially literature. She has a fondness for any pulp entertainment, particularly old spy thrillers like James Bond. She is also a fan of pretty much any movie based on any of those things as well, even if it’s just inspired. She really doesn’t like people who want to force their politics into stories, especially when it ruins the story.
Virtues
She is always friendly and willing to help a new writer improve themselves. She also cares a great deal about the communities she is a part of, and understands their frustration at how they are being ruined. She tends to be fairly modest as well, being rather shocked by the fan base she has built so quickly.
Vices
She is lazy, not really being much for exercise, and to make matters worse she also loves to eat. As such, she’s only made it harder for her to get in shape. She also tends to be very closed when it comes to her own beliefs, keeping them completely off any discussion. She’s also a little cynical to some areas of geek culture, which she feels have been destroyed too badly to save, and sometimes feels that lots more are going to fall before it’s all over.
Quirks
She tends to get very excited over new media coming out, be it movies, comics or books, and will endlessly talk about it coming, and then show off when she gets it, but then moves on to the next thing, getting excited all over again. She doesn’t really like to do reviews, as she feels each person’t own subjective enjoyment should be their own.
Values
A great story is the one thing she loves more than anything else. Those who tell them, those who create them, and those who help promote them. She knows in these hard times, being able to have an escape is very important, and so helping people enjoy that is a great service.
Sexual Style
Despite how she presents herself, she has a fairly high sex drive, and will gladly engage in it with those she truly trusts and feels close to. She tends to prefer being on bottom, but sometimes the mood strikes her and she becomes a lot more aggressive and will practically jump a man. She is very vocal and tends to use a lot of vulgar language when she is excited. She does tend to be a little vanilla, not really being interested in exploring, but isn’t opposed to it. She had a great love of being covered in cum, and almost always requests that her partners finish her off that way.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She still keeps in contact with her family back in Spain, and will visit them during the Christmas holidays, but hasn’t been keeping up with them as much as she’d like, mostly due to working more and more. She also spends a lot of time chatting with her fans, which doesn’t help her keep in contact with her family. She also has been spending a lot more time with some of her friends, including some of her very close friends. She still cares about them, but knows she needs to make sure she has her own life in order.
Social Aptitude
Very social and friendly, she is always willing to listen to someone tell a story, or tell a few of her own. She also loves to ask people about their lives, but doesn’t like talking about her own. She is always interested in what others have to say, and always seems to be focusing on them when she is enthralled by a story they are telling.
Religious Views
Not very religious, she just seems to not be interested in it, now that she’s heard most of the stories within the religions. She knows they have great stories, but she wants new ones, and doesn’t feel that these ones have any more sway for her.
Mannerisms
A very excitable and easily distracted woman, she can’t help but want to see the newest and coolest things. While it seems like she’s just into shallow consumerism, she’s more interested in seeing what people are creating. She isn’t very physical in her excitement, expressing it mostly in words and her writing. She does have a very dry sense of humour, preferring a wry wit over slapstick.
Hobbies & Pets
She spends most of her time either consuming media, be it movies, books, comics or even music, or producing her own content. She also spends a lot of time chatting online in social media, but has somehow been able to resist the negativity that breeds on such forums. She is also active on many fan community forums, including her own. She has short white haired cat named Silver, after her favourite surfing comic character.
Speech Style
She still has a fairly strong Spanish accent, even though she’s been living in the US for a while. She sometimes will slip into her native tongue, but usually only when she’s frustrated or very excited and speaking. She’s been using English so long, both in reading and writing, that when it comes to writing, that is rarely done in Spanish. Her voice has a very motherly tone and sound to it.
Political Affiliation & Activism
She doesn’t talk about these parts of her life at all, as she doesn’t want to alienate any of her fans in these polarizing times. While she does keep her beliefs to herself, she does tend to be fairly moderate on her positions, not swinging too far to either side, but having elements of both, in both the social and economic side of things.
