Background
Once a student of the Great Witch, Lady Rosalind has spent too long in her mentor's shadow.
Long ago, a young Ros was a prodigy - the most gifted disciple and apprentice of the Great Witch Socorro, leader of the most powerful coven in Österreich. Ambitious and impatient, the young witch began to dabble in ancient forbidden magic. When her power threatened that of the Great Witch herself, Rosalind was betrayed by her sisters and master - killing her in a ritual sacrifice to ensure her vengeful spirit would not return.
But through unholy luck or some divine prank, Rosalind did survive. She would return to Österreich and start a coven of her own - with devotees loyal to her and the powerful blood magic at her command. Once driven by the intangible quest for knowledge and strength, Rosalind became consumed by one singular goal: To Surpass the Legacy of the Great Witch.
Years have passed since then. Now, Rosalind operates undetected within the capital city of Virlund. To the citizenry, the successful Lady Ehrenberg offers classes and lessons to the young women of the upper class. In reality, her school is a cover for a dangerous coven of red witches - holding bloody rituals in the basement of her home. She has powerful magic, the devotion of loyal acolytes, a lifestyle most could only dream of, and an unquestioning servant who would do anything for her.
Perhaps she should be happy - content with all she has achieved; but something has come to her attention that tempts her vengeful ambition. A house is on the market. A house inflicted with a great and powerful curse. One that the "Great Witch" herself would be too cowardly to face herself.
And what perfect timing - Rosalind had been looking for the perfect summer home.
Personality
On the outside, Rosalind is an intelligent, refined beauty able to captivate anyone with her charm and honeyed words. But those who choose to look closer can see what she truly is: a talented actress who may not mean a word she says.
Rosalind portrays the image of effortless success. She lives a comfortable life, has every need tended to by her dutiful servant and loyal disciples, but inside she remains a deeply unhappy woman. She still harbors a bitter resentment toward her former mentor and lover, and this resentment fuels her undying ambition.
Her single unending desire is to be the greatest, most powerful, and indisputably relevant witch in the world. She sees other people as either tools for her to use or obstacles in her way. Under her easy smile is a cold and manipulative heart, driven by equal parts pride and indignation.

Skills & Abilities
Perception & Deception
As someone obsessed with image and power, Rosalind is acutely aware of the perceptions of others, and what to say to certain people to get them to do what she wants. She must always maintain the outward image of a lady of high society while also commanding the absolute secrecy of her coven - constantly on the lookout for threats to her position. Such pressure has made her adept at the game of deception, saying what people want to hear, always looking for an advantage and never letting others onto what she is really thinking. She is not above lying, cheating, abusing or seducing others to get what she wants.
Blood Magic
An ancient, primeval magic forbidden by most witch covens. Those who practice this dark magic tap into the inherent magical properties of blood, using it to empower themselves and manipulate others.
As the name suggests, the act of Blood Magic involves using blood - the essence of life itself - as a catalyst for spellcasting. The blood may be provided by the witch herself, or from sacrifices, willing or unwilling. Not all sacrifices are created equal, however: blood shed willingly, with great suffering and in great amounts will result in spell far more potent. The residual life force from a fresh corpse can also be consumed for additional, albeit inferior source of fuel.
Blood Manipulation
Talented blood witches like Rosalind are able to direct and change the magical energies within blood. She is able to control the flow of spilled blood, consume the substance to cast powerful spells, or even condensing it into a dense crystal known as a Bloodgem.
Freshly spilled blood from the witch herself, or from a willing sacrifice works best for this purpose, as the blood from unwilling sources is often unwilling itself. Powerful witches are still able to effect the blood still inside a living body - causing terrible agony to their victim. However, this requires intense focus, and a great deal of the witch's own blood to do so, leaving her incredibly vulnerable.
