Colonial Life
My Character is a sixteen-year-old named Rosie Williams. She has blond hair with sky-blue eyes and is tall. Her voice sounds like music to some people. She smells like a rose that’s why her name is Rosie. She looks like an angel with an angelic face. Her smile is so bright and beautiful that she could make anyone who’s sad happy. Even though she is upper class she refuses to wear fancy clothing like ball gowns and high heels. While she is a very good seamstress, she also likes to play sports with the boys. Rosie was born in London, England. On a typical day in England, Rosie would wake up, eat breakfast (with her Father, Mother, and her four younger brothers) then start and finish her chores. Next, she would go outside and play with her golden lab or play sports with the boys, then go home and eat supper, then finally go to bed. One day when Rosie was fourteen her father passed away from an unknown disease. Then her mother remarried in a month to a gentleman named John Williams. Rosie thought she married him because he had the same last name as her father. Rosie’s new step-father moved their family from London to North Carolina.
