Or, everything you ever wanted to know about Miss Strider.
• Colorswap goes as following: Rose Strider (Seer of Time, Land of Rain and Clockwork)
John Lalonde (Heir of Light, Land of Light and Shade)
Dave Harley (Knight of Space, Land of Heat and Frogs)
Jade Egbert (Witch of Breath, Land of Wind and Frost)
• Red Rose is much more emotionally stunted than her original counterpart. If Rose Lalonde is estranged from her feelings, then Rose Strider is divorced and refusing to pay the alimony. She closed herself down almost immediately, rather than the slightly older age of her OU self. This coupled with her lack of an interest in psychology means that she doesn't understand her feelings and honestly doesn't want to. Everything is pushed away and ignored, left to fester until it explodes at the worst possible moment.
• She really dislikes Bro, in the same complicated way that OU!Rose dislikes her mother. Red Rose feels that he's a useless douchebag who has no business anywhere that isn't jail, let alone raising a child. She barely talks to him and flatly refuses to engage in the stupid roof top fights unless he manages to ambush her and drag her up there himself.
• Since she wants no part in being beaten senseless and thrown down the stairs, Red Rose has developed far greater speed than OU!Dave for dodging and escaping purposes. Unfortunately because of her lack of a workout she's also much weaker than OU!Dave in terms of physical strength. In a fight she relies primarily on her speed and strategy to overwhelm the opponent rather than punching them in the face.
• She does, however, genuinely appreciate the smuppets and other similar puppets laying about the house. She knows exactly what they're for, and feels this only makes them funnier. In the single act of household tranquility, Rose hand sews all of Bro's smuppets. It's something that she enjoys doing, and often sews little diddly things just for the hell of it. Her room is covered in fabric scraps and dropped needles.
• Because of her aforementioned disdain for Bro and physical frailty, she refuses to go anywhere near anything remotely resembling a bladekind specibus. Instead she uses the seam rippers from her sewing kit, which are quick and useful.
• Much like her original, Red Rose matured very quickly in response to the desire to not eat pizza for every meal. She was going grocery shopping for herself at around six, and has picked up most general domestic skills along the way. However she makes a point of only buying enough food for herself, or only doing her own clothes in the laundry. Bro can starve to death in filthy clothes for all she cares.
• In a similar vein, she likes to pitch Bro's shit out the apartment window when she knows for sure that he's out DJing or picking up hos or whatever Bro does when he's not home. Bro of course does the same for her, so all she really does is keep the vicious cycle of flying crap going in good health.
• She's picked up lock modifying as a sort of hobby in the vain attempt to keep Bro out of her room, but so far it's never worked. Red Rose keeps hoping that someday she'll combine the most terrifying of locks, though. Someday.
• Red Rose is determined to be absolutely nothing like Bro when she grows up, and as such wants to become a neurosurgeon or social worker or basically anything prestigious and productive to stick it to him.
• So, yes. She is subconsciously passive-aggressively doing the irony thing. She has no idea that's her plan, though, or she'd have flipped out long ago.
• Although her speech doesn't always reflect it, she's still a very well read individual. Instead of psychology and Lovecraft, however, she prefers to pick up thick tomes on music history and the military.
• She likes to think of herself as a skilled tactician, and still harbors her original's inner desire to be the Big Damn Hero of something. Not that she'd ever tell anyone.
• Unlike OU!Dave, Red Rose isn't sensitive about her eye color at all. If anything she's proud of the aberration in genetics. The sunglasses are worn solely because red eyes are highly light sensitive and fuck does Houston have a lot of sun.
• Red Rose has a much worse temper than OU!Rose, mostly because she doesn't know how to deal with her negative feelings or frustrations and lets them bubble under the surface until they explode. Usually in the form of taking it out on someone she's close to, unfortunately.
• She still uses sarcasm, but it's a much more aggressive and vitriolic form than her original's. Red Rose uses it to hurt people, not gently play around.
• She wants nothing to do with turntables or raps (although she could lay down some sick fires if she wanted to) and prefers to find refuge in her beloved electric violin. What she likes to do best is remix classical pieces into something funky and new, because damn is that classy or what don't you dare judge her.
• Red Rose still uses perfect syntax when typing, because ooooooh isn't that ~*ironic*~ to do. Her speech is a bit more informal and clipped than her original, although she will grandstand and bust out the ornate vocabulary when she wants to talk down to somebody. Like a frilled lizard puffing out its neck when threatened.
• Her time travel instrument is a rad as hell steampunk violin. You may proceed with being jealous now.
• The shades Squiddle shirt she wears was actually a gift from John Lalonde in what she can only imagine was an attempt to initiate some kind of passive-aggressive gift giving war. Red Rose shut him down by claiming the shirt didn't fit, but that is a blatant lie. She is in fact well on the way to wearing that thing to threads, but will tell no one of this.
• Although this hasn't happened for her yet, Bro's death is going to affect her even more deeply than Mom's did for OU!Rose. This is because Red Rose doesn't understand there's genuine love underneath her snarl of rage and antagonism towards him.
• As such, this is going to cause her to take a flying leap off the cliffs of sanity. She's going to attempt to shatter the flow of time completely, giving her access to 'seeing' all timelines instead of just the alpha one. From there she'd pick out the optimum timeline and force it into becoming the alpha. And if it happens to also cause time itself to unravel? WHOOPS. DON'T WORRY SHE CAN TOTALLY FIX THIS. TOTALLY.
• Rosesprite was the opposite of helpful in preventing this from becoming an inevitability; she'd become so embittered by being stuck in a crap timeline that she saw no point in protecting the laws of time flow and instead egged on alpha Rose to break it.
• She is still a Derse dreamer, but she has nothing to do with the horrorterrors whatsoever. That's Lalonde's area, and besides that she doesn't need another set of authority figures imposing their will in her. Fuck that, seriously.
