Rose Eligos
Rose Eligos is the main protagonist in
Warlocks. She is a human, but made a pact with
Val'mundrr when she was twelve to become an infernal warlock. She has a startling aura level; enough to put a weaker metaphysical being on edge. She has a shadow core, and supplements it with fire magic.
Physical Description
Rose is extremely fit. She barely experiences arcane exhaustion.
She has the red-orange skin of an infernal, as well as the black eyes and horns. Her horns curve slightly over her head. As an infernal warlock, she has claws on both her hands and feet (though she usually wears shoes), and pointed teeth.
When she's disguised, all the demonic traits go away, and she reverts back to how she would appear as a seventeen-year-old if she hadn't accepted the pact. In this form, she has brown eyes, and often puts a few light purple streaks in her hair as a flourish. She retains her powerful physical strength, but loses the offensive capabilities of her sharp teeth and talons. Her mana reserves also suffer due to keeping up the illusion, though this is usually a non-issue for Rose, as she has so much to work with.

Mental characteristics
Rose never knew her father, and lived from the earliest years of her life jumping from town to town. It wasn't until she was about ten that she found out her mother had been using her magic to con in order to provide for them, and that was why they had to move so often. Eventually, it got so bad that they had to start living homelessly, most often hanging around old graveyards where people weren't keen to look. Then, when she was twelve, they were staying in the Trishear cemetery when her mother left and never came back. Val'mundrr found her soon after, and gave her power, purpose, and a parent, pulling her out of a very rough place in her life.
That part that Rose doesn't know, at least at the start of the book, is that her father, Randall, is the founder of the Cleavers, and that's what drove Linh to run away with Rose. It's also what dissuaded her from ever settling down for more than a couple years at a time.
Adheres closely to her own set of morals, heavily influenced by her mother growing up, and Val'mundrr later on. She doesn't care at all about the ethic of a society, and doesn't take well to others pushing their own morals onto her.
Personality Characteristics
Confident
Practical
Great at improvising
Physically and academically intelligent
Brash
Lacks tact
Thrill-seeker (includes fighting)
Enjoys being powerful
Social
Introvert. She can be a bit awkward around new people, but she has a quick wit, and forms strong bonds once she opens up. She's an exceptional liar, though, and can very easily pretend to be someone she's not.
History
Rose met Val'mundrr at age twelve, shortly after her mother vanished from her life, leaving her orphaned in the Trishear cemetery. He offered her an opportunity she couldn't refuse: access to the vast powers of a warlock, and the training to use them. Val'mundrr became the sole parental figure in Rose's life, and they developed a close and loving bond beyond just their pact.
Rose has no money to her name, and steals her necessities. As she doesn't need to eat, this is mostly just clothes, and occasionally a new phone.
