HISTORY
Rosalie Hale was born in 1915 in Rochester, New York. Her father was a banker who thought that the reason he had a job was because he was really good at it and a hard worker, but it was really all just luck. Her parents liked to buy her pretty dresses, and buy expensive things, and it was obvious that Rosalie was their favorite child; to Rosalie, the Great Depression was just a silly rumor. She knew that she was very beautiful and was delighted that mens’ eyes watched her everywhere she went from the year she turned twelve.
One day, her father forgot his lunch and her mother told her to put on her dress and roll up her hair just to run it over to the bank. Rosalie thought the request was outrageously silly, but she did as she was asked.
And then she met Royce King II, the owner of the bank. She did notice that he watched her a lot, but thought nothing of it since all the men did. From then on, every morning roses would show up in her room. It got to the point that when she would leave the house, she would smell like roses. Royce told her that her eyes resembled violets; then violets started showing up with the roses.
Rosalie was vain enough that she was very happy. Royce was everything she and her parents had dreamed of. Rosalie figured it was only to be expected. Life was perfect for her. Royce was everything she had ever wanted. He was tall, blond, handsome, and extremely rich. She had not known him for two months before they were engaged. They attended many parties and balls and feasts.
All of her friends at school had envied her beauty, sighing as they had run their fingers through her long, gorgeous, golden hair while Rosalie had just smiled in vain. But now it was her turn to feel envious. One night, she was visiting her best girlfriend, Vera, at her and her husband’s tiny cottage. Her husband was a carpenter, someone Rosalie’s parents never would have considered for her. But that was the first time Rosalie had ever felt envious of anyone in her life. Vera had a beautiful baby boy named Henry with dark curly hair. And Rosalie noticed something else. When Vera’s husband kissed her when he thought Rose wasn’t looking, it wasn’t the same as when Royce kissed Rosalie. It wasn’t so sweet somehow. But Rosalie dismissed the thoughts because soon, she’d be married and have pretty babies too.
It was dark when she left, and she hadn’t meant to stay out so late. It had started get colder outside, and she was worried about the weather; she didn’t want to have to wedding indoors. She could’ve called for her father to escort her home, but it was such a short walk that she didn’t because it seemed silly.
She was almost home when she saw a few drunken men, and when she looked closer, she realized that one of them was Royce. But at first, that didn’t make sense to her. Royce had told her he didn’t like the taste of champagne. It didn’t occur to her that he might like something stronger. As she got nearer, Royce shouted “Here’s my Rose!” and grabbed her by the arm. He yelled drunkenly at her to show them what she looked like, and tore her cloak off her. He bragged about her beauty, which led to her being beaten and left to die in the streets.
Carlisle smelled the blood and went to investigate. He found Rosalie and took her to his home, where he bit her. The pain of the venom coursing through her veins hurt so much that she was screaming a lot. Carlisle and Esme tried to comfort her, telling her what they were, what she would be, and that it would be over soon. At first she did not believe them. But when the pain finally stopped, she saw her bright red eyes, felt the scorching thirst, and that was enough proof for her.
Later she tracked down the men who had left her to die, and she murdered them. She saved Royce for last, and made him suffer. She hoped that he would be afraid, and she thinks it worked because when she found him he was hiding in a locked, windowless room with two guards outside the door. But of course, that wasn’t any inconvenience to her. She killed seven men total, but she was very careful not to spill their blood (the two guards made seven); she did not want any part of Royce in her.
Rosalie is very vain and self-centered, and would give up anything and everything to be human again so she could have children.
