.:Physical Appearance:. Rylee is petite in stature, but not weak. She had always straightened her long dark amber brown curls, but since being on the Ground she has let her hair go natural. She used to dress a bit more fashionable when she was up on the Ark, but now, she focuses more on comfort and survival, but still makes sure that she looks good. The most important part of her attire, is the knife she keeps hidden in her right boot. It is easy access in case she ever needs a weapon. 
.:Height:. 5'3"

.:Personality:. Rylee is often perceived as weak because of her stature. That is perhaps the one thing that pushes her over the edge. Since a young age, when other boys her age would pick on her for being so small, Rylee began to focus on how to better herself. By age 11, she was running every day and doing everything she could to increase her speed and agility. When the 100 came down, she quickly found that her weapon of choice was a knife and never left her bed without one tucked inside her boot.

One of Rylee's best qualities is her ability to hide her feelings. She doesn't let emotions get in the way of what she needs to do. Rylee experienced a lot of loss in her life, mainly her mother and brother, and developed serious trust issues from a previous relationship with a boy on the Ark. As a result, she puts up a wall and doesn't let people in too often, especially men. Her lack of trust and hiding of emotions may interrupt her abilities to befriend or love anyone right away, but it sure does help when she needs to attack an enemy.

Although Rylee has trust issues and does not often show emotions, she is extremely flirtatious, often without a means to the end of dating. She learned that she could use her flirtation and her body to get boys to do what she wanted or needed of them. It started on the Ark and her seduction of a Cadet is what got her locked up with the 100 to begin with. She may not let people in right away, but she isn't afraid to have to turn up the flirt to get what she wants....but she always fears that she might hook a guy...and have to learn to let him in.
 
.:Special Skills:. Quick and agile, good with knives, flirtatious, well-spoken, can fit into small places, strong personality, doesn't let emotion get in the way of duty, a decent fighter, an excellent tracker.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark
.:Family:. Mother {Rae Rose/deceased}, Father {Ryan Rose/alive}, Brother {Robert Rose/deceased}
.:Occupation:. Student Nurse
.:History:. Rylee Rose was born on the Ark on the night of April 13th in the middle of a star storm. Shooting stars were falling past the windows of the Ark as Rae held her daughter for the first time. The name Rylee had already been decided upon, but Star quickly became the middle name of the small bundle of joy born on the Spring night.  

Rylee grew up on the Ark and loved every moment of it. She was always exploring in places she shouldn't but her size allowed her to never get caught. Each night she would come back to her cabin inside the giant space structure and excitedly tell her mom and dad about what she had discovered that day. They were her favorite people and at age 5 she couldn't imagine loving any two people more than she loved them. 

But on her 6th birthday, everything changed. Her mom stopped coming to dinner in the public halls. Her dad was constantly in the hospital wing talking to his best friend Micael, one of the doctors. Rylee didn't know what was wrong, but she knew something wasn't right. But then one night she overheard a conversation that she definitely was not meant to hear. Her mom was pregnant with a second baby, Robert they were calling him, and that was not allowed on the Ark. To this day, Rylee still doesn't know how the information leaked, but her mom was floated only days after she overheard her parents conversation... Rylee lost her mom and her brother all in the blink of an eye...too much too fast for a 6 year old. 

Rylee and her dad, Ryan, got exceptionally close following the death of her mother and brother. They spent every night reading books and playing games all meant to strengthen Rylee's brain and mental capacity. Ryan knew that one day Rylee would have the chance to become something great...something better than just a child of the Ark. He would do anything to give her that opportunity. 

By the time Rylee was 8, she practically knew the Ark inside and out. She could get from her cabin to the farthest outskirts of the Ark in less than 20 minutes and be back before anyone even knew she was missing. One day on one of her many adventures through the vents, she bumped into another one of the many Ark children. Blonde hair, blue eyes and a brilliant smile made knees go weak no matter what age. Rylee and Bradley became best friends in a matter of weeks, practically inseparable, and eventually grew up together.

Years passed and Rylee and her dad managed to continue on the Ark despite the loss of their family. Rylee got smarter, faster, and stronger while her dad quizzed her to prepare her for any unforseen future. 

Rylee and Bradley got closer too and by the time they turned 15 the two were practically dating. Bradley kissed Rylee on the night of her 16th birthday as the star shower happened outside the Ark, just like on the night she was born. That night started a relationship that Rylee dove into head first. Suddenly all her thoughts were on Bradley, not her skill training with her father. She could only focus on him and it dug a hole quicker than she was able to climb out of. 

On the eve of her 17th birthday, everything went wrong. Rylee found Bradley in his cabin with another girl, a girl who Bradly had assured, many times, was just a friend who needed tutoring in engineering skills. Rylee felt the tears push past her eyes as she ran out of the room. She heard him yelling after her, but she couldn't handle the idea of talking to him right now. She kept running and eventually found herself in one of the old hiding places that she and Bradley would sit in for hours on end when they were younger. She ran her hand over their initials engraved into one of the vents and kicked the siding, creating a loud bang throughout the vent system. 

Wrong move.

That sound grabbed the attention of one of the Cadet's on duty and he came running to the source. Rylee, though still small, was more visible now that she was a teenager. She tried to get out of the vent in time, but he had grabbed her leg and was pulling her back down onto the floor. Rylee, with rushing feelings of anger and sadness, decided to try and get herself out of any punishment by flirting with the Cadet. He played her game right alongside her, but just when she thought she had him in a spot to let her go, he grabbed her and got her roped into joining the 100 locked up for "Wrongful seduction of an Ark Officer". 

Now nearly 7 months after being locked up, she has landed on the Ground with the 100. She has kept to herself, watching people and trying to find where she would fit in and who with. She keeps her knife in her boot and has searched the woods 3 times over utilizing her learned skills. She isn't sure what will happen or who it will happen with, but she has every intention of surviving on this planet...her father's teachings will not go to waste...she can't lose anything more in her life and she doesn't plan to start now.
