Real Name: Rosemary June Nettle
Newsie name: none - Just Rosemary
Name origin: When she was found, she had a pouch full of dried rosemary leaves to make her smell pretty.
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Vermont (unknown to her)
Currently Living: NY
History:
June was born on June 8th, to a rich woman. The rich woman in particular was a bit flamboyant and free wielding, and enjoyed having male company. That was how Rosemary happened. A baby was not part of Lady Nora Nettle's plan however, and she concealed it. When she secretly gave birth, she wrapped the baby girl in a yellow drapery, put a pouch of rosemary leaves around her neck, and attached to it a note that read;
To whom it may concern,
I am a poor woman, unable to take care of this infant. Her name is June Nettle - I pray you keep her given name as I may wish to find her someday.
Sincerely,
The mother of June Nettle
She then dropped the baby girl off in a basket, on the doorstep of an orphanage. She spent the first 5 years of her life in that orphanage in Vermont, and hated every minute of it. It was all she knew though, and was too young to make it on her own in the world. When the annual time came to ship orphans out to different cities to find homes for them, she was shuffled on board the train.
For 6 grueling weeks they rode around the country side in the stuffy, dark, chilly train. They had little food and no water except when they stopped in a town. They finally arrived in NYC, and there were only about 15 children left to be found homes, June included.
The children were "Auctioned off" you could say. They would be brought up onto a platform and details would be given about them, and then someone would raise there hand if they wanted them. When came time for the now 6 year old June to be found her home, no one raised their hand. As she was leaving the stand, the auctioneer kicked her, and sent her sprawling to the ground, her knee broken. They left her there.
She laid there in that spot in agony for 2 days, until a woman found her. The woman was a local prostitute. She brought June back to the local whorehouse where she lived, and raised her as her own. She was nicknamed Rosemary by the other prostitutes. She spent the rest of her childhood watching and learning the ways of the whorehouse. She was lured into the way of life, and lost her virginity at 13. She has been a prostitute there ever since. It is her way of life. She has become pregnant only 2 times; the first baby was born dead (this could have been due to the fact that she was still sexually active while pregnant with it) but the second one lived. She had a boy when she was 15. His name is Teagan, and he is 4 years old now. She has no idea who the father is…One of her clients…But she loves her little boy, and wouldn’t give him up for the world.
Hair Color: Blonde
Hair Style: Long, poorly cut, most of the time in curls.
Eye Color: Hazel
Skin Color: White
Height: 5’4”
Weight: 100
Clothing Style: Picture walking into a whorehouse; the first thing your eyes may be drawn to is the very exposed breasts and legs. That’s Rosemary for you. Normally she is dressed in dark colors (mainly red and black). Revealing shirts, skirts that go way up in the front, and all around flimsy. When you grow up a prostitute, you tend to know nothing else.
Items owned: The bare necessities
Troubles: Well, I would say selling yourself to the first buyer is a bit of a trouble, wouldn’t you?
Fears: Rosemary is very fickle. She is honored that she is one of the more desirable prostitutes in the “Establishment”, but she is also afraid of her job. She has heard horror stories about other prostitutes being killed by one of there clients, or becoming pregnant and there being bad complications (pregnancy was a normal thing there). There are many fears such as those when it comes to her job, but the worst one yet is that you cannot get out of it. It is really hard to pull yourself out of the whorehouse and the business, especially when it is all you know, but even if you do manage it, you will still be recognized as a prostitute on the street and may be forcibly drawn back into it, or shunned for being one in the first place.
Siblings: After her mother gave her away, she got married and had 3 more children; Two girls – April and May, and one boy, August.
Parents:
Blood Mother: Lady Nora Nettle
Blood Father: One of her friends…?
