Personality
Rose Waverley was afraid of everything.

When her husband went away to war, she thought that he would never come back and poisoned her three youngest children to spare them the pain. When her eldest daughter Eleanor found out, she slit her throat before throwing herself in the furnace and shutting the door. Tragically, this was all for nothing, because her husband survived the war and was the one who found their bodies. He became depressed and drank himself to death. Being consumed by rage and sorrow after death, Rose was never able to learn the truth until moments before her permanent demise.

Clarissa, Thomas, and Simon are Rose's children. She poisoned them so they won't have to go through the pain of losing their father. She poisoned their hot chocolate drinks.
