Currently Located: San Antonio, Texas

Relation to You: Grace's Mother
She is naturally very caring and honest toward most people, though she is cautious so it takes a great deal for the woman to warm to new faces. It isn’t that she is untrusting toward those, she just doesn’t like to warm to people, let them into her life and then be let down by them as a result. So, she likes to keep a barrier up to protect herself from hurt.
Roselyn is very tolerant and calm. She rarely gets angry and often finds herself cool in most cases. She is not the type to panic when times get hard as she relies on her level headedness to keep herself in check. When desperate times occur, Roselyn finds that she is often a person to lead a situation rather than let it control her.
Even though she cares a lot for others she has boundaries. She will happily help another out but the person in question usually has to give her a reason to be worthy of her help. She’s not a doormat in anyway and finds that by being cautious with people she is able to avoid sticky situations. She does not let her heart get in the way of decisions. She constantly thinks things through before making a final decision and when she had done rarely changes her mind.
Roselyn stands at medium height of about 5 feet 5, which is typically the average height in her family as she comes from a short family. She has mid length dark coloured hair, which she usually wears down. Her hair is usually straight in style but sometimes she curls it so that it has a wavier and full bodied looking appearance.
She has a particular curvy frame which she keeps well in shape; though she is curvy she is fairly toned. She weighs about 130lbs, which is pretty ideal for her height. She has deep hazel eyes, which compliment well against her naturally olive complexion. Roselyn has a very oval shaped face, with high cheekbones and a well defined jaw.
Roselyn was born in Madrid, Spain to Drina and Manuel Torrez. Roselyn is the middle of three children, she has a younger sister, Jovanna and older brother, Eduardo.
Her upbringing was fairly difficult because her family were not wealthy in any way. Her mother mostly stayed at home to take care of the children, working only on weekends when she volunteered at the local hospital. Her father would work two jobs and most of the time work seven days a week just so he could provide for his family.
When Roselyn was 13 her family were able to move to America after her grandfather became sick and her mother was requested to come take care of her grandmother. To be honest, moving to America was the best thing that could have happened to them because there was more opportunity.
Roselyn was able to go to school and learn many things; she strived to become a nurse after spending some weekends with her mother during her voluntary days. She was a hard working young girl who dedicated all of her time to studying and leaning herself in the right direction.
When Roselyn was 18 she met a young man by the name of Thomas Harper. She had never met anyone quite like him, he was so kind and sweet to her and soon became a large distraction in her studies. Her father, he was not happy with her relationship with Thomas because he didn’t think the young man was good enough and he saw that he was interfering with Roselyn’s life.
As a young woman she tried to take control of the matter and continued to see Thomas, unfortunately her father had been right. Thomas was no good for her. He one day just left without a word and she never saw him again. Not long after, she found out she was pregnant. Her father he was horrified, he declared to want nothing to do with her or the baby because she had been stupid.
Only, 9 months later when the baby came along did her father finally warm to the idea. He couldn’t turn away from such a precious little thing. Roselyn set out to find Thomas to tell him that he was a father, she managed to find him but when she did, he already had someone else and another baby on the way. She didn’t need him nor any other man in her life because now she had this child to take care of.
Her parents helped a great deal, taking care of Grace while she went to school and then once she joined med school 2 years later she met another man. Only this time was different because Kevin knew her father. He’d spent some of his holidays working at her father’s restaurant and because of that he already had the thumbs up from her parents.
After 2 years Kevin and Roselyn got married and he adopted Grace to be his own child. Things had never been better for her, she was happily married, and working a job she loved and had the most wonderful little girl. But, unfortunately things never ended well and a problem came. It appeared that however wonderful her child was, there was something not quite right. She could do things that Roselyn couldn’t even begin to try and explain, after the first incident things just got worse.
They had to move house, changed their names and start over and then to top it off, Kevin died. She felt so alone, as if her world had been pulled from under her feet. If it hadn’t been for Grace she wouldn’t have known what to do with herself.
