Meet the Characters (And ask questions) · 1:39pm Aug 7th, 2020
First, an announcement. I'm going to be moving the updates for Primrose War to Saturday. This is mostly for my sake, but it also means the update comes out tomorrow instead of Tuesday. It makes my work week mornings a little less hectic trying to remember everything I need to do.
First, the gallery, if actually having them here doesn't work. I'm not sure if imgur hosting works right.
All art by Rossby / Altomon
Rosewater Rosethorn
First daughter of Roseate Rosethorn, heir of Merrie.
Primline Collar
Only child of Primeline Lace, Baroness of Damme, and Dapper Rosedown, Baron of Damme
Rosemary Rosethorn
Only child of Carnation Rosethorn, niece to the current ruler of Merrie.
Cloudy Rosewing
Middle daughter of four children of the fading Rosewing family line, Collar's mate.
Roseate Rosethorn
Baroness of Merrie, mother of Rosewater and nine other daughters.
The first four are the primary viewpoint characters of Primrose War, and the last is the primary antagonist. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have, so long as it doesn't spoil anything.
How old is everyone? Solid ages or guesstimates are cool!

Rosewater. She's been through the wringer, but she's grown stronger because of it, even if it leaves her prone to fractures of the mind here and there when new stresses are applied in different directions.
