cw: mentions of abuse, alcoholism, and generally distressing material authors note: rosemary was made for the era right after the first world war-- meaning the early 1920s. she's heavily inspired by silent film actresses and fashion models of the era, but as with all of my characters, this can be changed or altered! i also have some vague ideas for a storyline with her, but that will be discussed at the end :)
stuck between eras is rosemary kimball. under the alias minerva, she models in pre-ww1 new york city. rosemary represents the english ideal of beauty in a time of vast change, stuck in the laces and buttons and bows of the turn of the century. however, as the curtains close on the global stage, signifying the end of ww1 and the coming of a new decade, the world is progressing. times are changing, and how long until rosemary is left behind?
