Rose Blake

Rose Blake, a character in The Crown &amp; The Flame series, is a servant in the castle of Stormholt. She is one of Dominic Hunter's love interests. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

Appearance
Rose has brown eyes, long, dark blonde hair tied in a braid and fair skin. She wears a white long-sleeved dress underneath a grayish-green apron.

Personality
Rose is a kind, compassionate girl who cares about Dominic. She is determined to rebel for the greater good, and often joins Dom in his regular spying and rescuing missions. She develops a crush on him and the player can choose whether or not to pursue the relationship.

Unlike Trystan, Rose is selfless and hyperopic, willing to risk her life for what is righteous and see the fruits of her actions in the long run. She is also cunning, using her role and knowledge as a servant to her advantage in incapacitating or distracting the Nevrakis guards.

Rose is also pragmatic, taking pity on Duncan, Marco's former weapons master, as he is burnt to ash despite him working for the Nevrakis, on the defense that there was a possibility he may be forced into working for Marco.
