Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Rose was remarked as being a powerfully beautiful, six feet tall with high cheek bones and wide set eyes, though at times she only has one long tooth on top. Her most notable feature was the hat she wore which sat atop her head at odd angles despite gravity.
Rose was shown to be an extremely cold, calculating, and uncaring figure. She had nothing but contempt for humans, whom she and the rest of the True Knot referred to as Rubes. A cold-hearted killer, she showed no remorse when she tortured several young children to death.
Highly intelligent, she was able to conceive and execute complex plans with ease. Her powerful telepathic abilities made it easy for her to track her prey's next move, and thus to capture them.
Powers and abilities
Among her tribe, she possessed the most powerful telepathic abilities. This allowed her to locate children with psychic abilities, referred to by the collective clairvoyant term the 'Shining', in order to feed off of their 'Steam' which was their psychic energy.
She served as the leader of True Knot that were a nomadic tribe of vampiric-like psychic beings that fed on normal humans.
