HistoryCHILDHOOD:Rosmerta was born on a stormy morning on January 6th to the Woodcroft Family. Her father was a decedent of Hengist of Woodcroft – the founder of Hogsmeade. The Three Broomsticks was a family inheritance and Rosmerta loved living there. Growing up in Hogsmead had its perk and it had its disadvantages. The perks were that she knew everyone, the disadvantages was that she knew
everybody. Secrets were hard to keep in the little wizarding village. Her favorite part was when the students from Hogwarts would come down for their weekend trips.
The one thing that was different was that Rosmerta’s magic didn’t begin to show until very late in her childhood. She was almost ten years old and when it did it was powerful and destructive. Most, if not all, of the village had heard it. She had been trying very hard to do magic and not be a squib and she took out one of the inn rooms. To this day there are scorch marks on the wall in that room. When she turned 11 she got her letter to Hogwarts and she began to brag about it to all the students who visited.
HOGWARTS:
Rosmerta was sorted into Hufflepuff, which to this day she firmly believes is the most awesome house of them all. Studying did not come easy to her and Rosie wanted to hang out with her friends. And it wasn’t just friends within her own house either, Rosie had a knack for making friends outside of classes as well. Having Ravenclaw friends did come in handy when she needed to catch up on some of her class work. However, there was one friendship that seemed to stand the test of time and boundries and that was Andromeda Black. The girl was a little standoff-ish but Rosmerta was able to break through and see her for who she was. A regular girl with a messed up family. Rosie did end up passing the required NEWTS and OWLS but at the very minimum. She knew that she would one day run the tavern like her parents before her and her parent’s parent’s before them. And to Rosie, that was alright..
POST-HOGWARTS:
Upon graduation, Rosmerta returned back to The Three Broomsticks and continued to work there. She was the life blood of the tavern and always made everyone and anyone welcomed. She also had her share of lovers over the years. Recently Rosmerta was a bridesmaid for one Andromeda Black who was to wed Rabastan Lestrange. However, Andy took off which Rosmerta was glad that her friend took her own life into her own life. All that food gone to waste. Rosmerta returned to her bar after that scandal.
SamplesJOURNAL ENTRY:
My father sent me a box of shrunken heads on his worldwide holiday travels. They absolutely won't shut up and won't listen to me. I have no idea what to do with them. It is already a slow night and they will scare away the rest of my customers.
[Andy]
You okay? Need anything?
RP SAMPLE:
The bar was almost empty even if she was hours from closing. It seemed that the full moon often did this to people, especially when it was the night of the full moon. Rosmerta was outside after having to kick out a drunken wizard out. If there was one thing she did not tolerate it was people who caused trouble for her at her bar. "Sorry Warren. Go home and rest." She yelled after him and heard the familiar sounds of a pop as the wizard apparated.
She gave a sad smile as she shook her head. The wind picked up just a bit and it caused Rosie to look up at the sky at the full moon - sending a shiver down her spine. Turning and heading back to the bar, where there were still half of dozen patrons waiting to be served. At least their were people nearby and the safety of company were nearby.
The red head was nearly there when she heard a voice of a familiar customer. Turning and smiled, "Nathaniel. It is good for you to come. Come inside and I'll pour you a cold one from the tap." Little did she know that danger was heading their way.
