Rose is English. She joined the board in 2008 and has never looked back! Her other hobbies include singing very ill indeed, country walking with her petticoat six inches deep in mud and a day job of teaching teenagers Latin. Lady Catherine would not approve.
Rose likes to use the phrase "special snowflake" to describe female characters with Mary-Sue tendencies.
