Rosa is a very attractive 11-year-old witch, to the extend that some describe her as "an angel dressed in school uniform".

Her face is pointed like a pixie in Muggle fairy tales and her voice is soft like a stereotypical princess in fairy tales.

Personality:
Reducio
Rosa is very fond of fashion and vain about her appearance. Most of all, however, she loves being popular or the centre of attention; this drives her to sometimes act like a diva, brag about her family's wealth, and even does thing she doesn't really like (such as trying to be a Quidditch seeker just because it's a popular wizarding sport and the seeker is often admired most). Despite this, she truly cares about people who are meaningful to her, like her family and real friends, and gets very defensive when someone dares insult them. Rosa can be impulsive at times, but also demonstrates sharp wit and cunning. For instance, the girl likes to make use of her pretty face to get what she wants, but she also possesses true leadership qualities, such as driving toward goals and in teamwork, making sure that every member is in check. She also has great talents in singing, dancing, and cheer-leading.
History:
Reducio
Rosa Swann grew up in a nice, big house (which she calls "a mansion") in Versailles, France. She still lives there today, with her parents and two younger sisters, Erica and Laurel. Her father is a French Muggle and works as a visual merchandiser for a Paris-based fashion company. Her mother is a hard-working American pure-blood who falls in love with nature and Muggle world, and it is thanks to her that the Swann family owns a successful ranch in Wyoming. Because they were home-schooled, Rosa and her sisters spent her childhood in both France (usually in autumn and winter) and the United States (usually in spring and summer).
Rosa is very much into fashion and, since her family is rich and she gets much pocket money, tends to spend her money on beauty products and clothes. Many of her dresses each has a matching handbag or clutch with gold initials on, and her dress shoes are custom made. Even though her mother does not approve the girl's behaviour, her father likes her fashion taste and sometimes has a hard time reprimanding Rosa's way of spending her pocket money. Because she is often tired from her work managing the ranch, Rosa's mother also doesn't reprimand her daughter all the time; but once she does, she can be very harsh.
The brown-haired girl does not enjoy the work in her mother's ranch, but she does like animals, especially horses. Beside cheer-leading, horseback-riding is the only sport Rosa truly enjoys. She even has her own horse, a lovely milk-white mare whom she named White Beauty. Rosa's mother only spoils her when it comes to White Beauty since the woman herself is very fond of horses; so, whereas the other horses in the farms can be handled by almost any Muggle cowboy or ranchhand, Mrs Swann grants Rosa's wish that White Beauty may only be handled by Shane, a 16-year-old high school student who works part-time as a cowboy in her ranch. Mrs Swann trusts him because he's experienced due to the fact that he grew up in a ranch, while Rosa chooses him as she secretly has a crush on him.
It was also (partly) because of Shane that Rosa had her first instance of magic, although thankfully he and the other Muggles nearby did not really understand what happened. At that time, Rosa was 8, and she began developing a feeling for him. Shane was 13, and even though he hadn't worked in the Swanns' ranch yet, he was often there with his elder cousin. It was summer, and many ranchhands took their children so they could learn about working in a ranch. One of the kids was 14-year-old Marian, a good-looking redhead. Rosa caught her inviting Shane to her party and got totally jealous and angry. Suddenly, Marian's face was covered in pimples that everyone thought she was ill with chicken-pox or something. The party was also cancelled, much to Rosa' delight.

Y1 - Lovely Creature
ReducioRosa has natural beauty she has always possessed her whole life. Even her mother, who pays little attention to physical beauty, noticed that her daughter really was pretty the moment she was born; and everyone agreed with Mrs Swann that the girl was indeed a beautiful baby. While some lovely women were not cute when they were toddlers, Rosa was a cute one. Many described her as resembling a doll, and some said she had the face of an angel.
Her resemblance to angels Muggles depict in their art continues to her tween years. On her first day at Beauxbatons, for instance, an elder student asked her classmates, "I say, who's that angel? Has anyone else seen her?" The other students got very interested and went to see Rosa, and later agreed with their classmates that it was as if an angel in school uniform had decided to study at Beauxbatons.
Whereas a lot of ladies look pretty because they are skilled in applying make up, Rosa's case is not like that. It is true that a bit of make up can boost her appearance, but even without any, she already is pretty. Her beauty is natural. The shapes of her eyes, nose, and mouth match with each other to create a lovely face. The haircut she chooses fit her face shape. Her skin is soft even if she did not use skin cream. Her body is slim although she does not put much effort in doing exercises, and her legs are long like a primadonna's. In addition, she also has a good taste in fashion, and has a knack of choosing only clothes and accessories which look good on her.
"Note this," her elder cousin once said. "In some years, when Rosa has grown into a young lady, we young men will form a line just to catch a glimpse of her. And if she's the type of young woman who talks to strangers over tea, I bet no single guy will say no to her company."
Rosa's beauty does not stop at her face and figure. She is also pleasing to the ears, for she has soft voice and a talent in singing. Her manners, too, are graceful and ladylike compared to her peer.
Behind her lovely appearance, though, the girl hides a clever and cunning mind. She is aware that people considered her beautiful, and she often uses this for her advantage. Even though she can be fierce and intimidating, she prefers to use her beauty to protect her. For instance, she would act innocent and helpless to make boys lift heavy things for her (such as her trunk), and she even managed to make her private home-school tutor pass her in a subject she was not good at.
"If money or ability can't get you something you desire," the girl likes to tell herself with a cunning smile, "buy it with your charming smile." After all, who has the heart to wipe an innocent-looking smile from such a pretty face and replace it with heart-breaking tears and sobs?
Y2 - Charmer
ReducioSome people said that physical beauty and charm did not necessarily born to the same person - that is, one could be charming without possessing physical attractiveness, and there were times when a handsome gentleman or a beautiful lady simply did not have quite an aura, an atmosphere, a charm. But surely one could not deny that a pretty face did help bringing up a charm around the person, even if it might just be a little.
Rosa Swann was a pretty girl whose youth face was usually enough to make passerby stopped and stared for a while; this, coupled with her graceful movements and knack of choosing only clothes as well as matching accessories that looked good on her, seemed to successfully created certain charm around the French mademoiselle.
A lot of human beings, or perhaps one could say most people, had a natural tendency to get attracted to attach himself or herself to a physically attractive person, to have a desire to at least look at such person and perhaps to get to know them - and after a certain period of time, their beauty became less visible, for one had seen it regularly; there was nothing interestingly new. In such case, a charming atmosphere would require something else than a pretty look and graceful manner - and Rosa happened to have this "raw material" she liked to put into practice: a lovely voice and a talent in singing, a certain confidence (with lack of arrogance) that glued listeners to their seats when she delivered a speech or other kind of public speaking - the young girl was both a talented orator and a gifted singer.
Even though at times Rosa could be vain and put too much attention on how much admiration she got, she also had good leadership qualities. As a result, a combination of this and her talent in public speaking led quite a number of people to quickly consider her a great leader and an individual who could be trusted fully. Besides, in all kind of situations, the brown-haired girl seemed to find something interesting to say - well, at least most of the time.
In terms of singing, she was both naturally gifted and nurtured through private lessons during her stay in the Muggle world. At Beauxbatons, she kept on developing this talent not only because she found singing relaxing, but also because she enjoyed being consider a star; in fact, she would like to be a real one someday! In addition to singing, the French girl also received lessons in dancing and acting from professionals; the dance lessons only enhanced her graceful movements, and trainings in acting... let us just say that she liked to put it into use as she communicate with people around her, but particularly when her cunning mind wanted them to do something for her enjoyment.
Physical beauty - graceful manners - a wonderful voice - gifts and professional lessons on singing, acting, and speech. All supported each other to make Rosamund Angela Swann a true charmer.
