Characteristics:

Personality: Rose is the sort of person you would want to watch your back. Thoughtful, determined, and loyal, she lives her life by a strict code of conduct and will rarely stray from her principals. While she lacks a natural gift for the craft, her dutiful nature coupled with incredible amounts of hard work have left her an impressive talent who can stand toe to toe with many adversaries who should by all rights be better than her. Every defeat is a chance to improve, every victory a sign to buckle down and not become overconfident.  Though who have trained with her tend to think she comes across as overbearing, but that only tends to be because of how much she is always seeking to challenge herself to improve.

Outside of wrestling, she maintains her persona as Sky Captain, hunter of pirates. She is a warm and helpful person, almost always willing to stick her neck out to help someone in genuine need. She has a keen sense for tomfoolery, and does not take kindly to those who look to play her for a fool. She never breaks her word, is late for an appointment, or forgets a slight directed at her. She finds it hard to forgive those who have been malicious willingly and impossible for forget wrongdoings.

Past/History:

Rosemary showed promise when she had first popped onto the scene, though it was shortly thereafter believed she had already hit her skill ceiling. After a explosive debut of a newer promotion, she quickly fell to the wayside. Able to stand up to any talent in the ring but each time she fell short. her former standing of high praise found her scrapping the bottom of the barrel each time she saw victory within sight only to have it ripped away from her. She was lost, listless then her promotion made a big signing. Something of a local legend, a woman claiming to be a pirate who floated from promotion to promotion to capture their titles.

Prior to her coming, the entire locker room was given strict instructions that everyone had to work exceptionally hard to defeat this woman, due to some form of contract clause she was only with them so long as she didn't take the belt, and to take the best she had to go through the entire roster if the owner willed it... which they did. The Pirate Captain was a giant draw for their business after all. Among the first to stand before her, was Rosemary. Determined to show this supposed legend what for, she gave her everything she had... and lost within minutes. She had never be so thoroughly beaten and humiliated in the ring. The laughing stock of the locker room, she left the promotion, not knowing every other member would find a similiar fate.

Rosemary floated around fora bit, until finding a new home. This time she devoted herself to becoming better, not wanting to subject herself to what had happened at her former promotion. She came up with a strict training regiment to follow and it showed notice signs of improvement in her abilities. While she still found herself, quite often, on the losing end of most of her bouts, she was actually winning from time to time, and not just as a fluke. Everything was on the up and up until a meeting was called in the locker room. The owner had signed that woman, the "Dread Pirate Captain". The talk was a similiar one, she had seen this all play out before. This time it was going to be different. She knew it.

When it was finally her time to confront the woman who had ruined her, she found she had no idea who she was. Fueled by a thirst for revenge and want for recognition from this person who had taken so much from her, she threw everything she had at her, this time with a renewed sense of determination and far more skilled than she had been prior. Once again she had been defeated, handily. She hadn't been able to put up a good showing. That night The Dread Pirate went on to fight two other women in the same night, not even batting an eye. She couldn't stand for it any longer. She vowed that day she was going to one day take this woman down and so she devoted her professional wrestling career to chasing The Dread Pirate Scarlet Farley as a free agent.

Sky Captain Rosemary Maynard, Pirate Hunter, was born. Believing there to be merit behind Scarlet's method of nether dropping character, she embraced it as well, finding it a powerful motivator for never relenting on her quest for self improvement in the name of the hunt.

She drifted from promotion to promotion, always a step behind. Each time she stayed to fight, to improve, to watch their footage to study her prey. Sooner or later she would catch up.

Cutlass Wrestling had become the final resting place her prey. It seemed she was to stand her ground here. So she worked hard to ready herself before finally signing to the promotion. The talent was ruthless, but over time she worked herself up to a chance to challenge her nemesis. She still didn't know who she was, but that was fine. In time she would come to know. She lost again. But that didn't deter her. Every time she was knocked down the ladder, she climbed back up. It didn't matter how long it took, she challenged for the title over and over. Each time being beaten back, but learning more from every encounter.  As time drew on, so did their rivalry. Both women coming star attractions for the promotion with each grudge match between them becoming more littered with stipulations and ridiculous spots.

During their more noteworthy bout, the two women had a legitimate duel with prop blades across the set of the promotion. Heated and in the moment, Rosemary had become unrelenting with her blows, trying to match the strength of her foe. After so much punishment, her blade snapped and scored her rival across the face which a massive gash. Despite this, her foe refused to give in, and ultimately defeated her yet again. After the accident there were rumors in the back she was going to be fired. Scarlet had entered talks with management to no doubt be rid of her for good. It seemed as though that were the case, as she was informed their next bout would be their final one. Whoever lost would be fired. This was her moment. To finally redeem herself. Once the Dread Pirate had recovered from her wound, the stage was set for the epic conclusion to this saga that had taken so much of her life.

Finally the day had come, the end to their feud where both their careers were on the line at the biggest pay per view event Cutlass had ever hosted, broadcasted to a world wide audience.

The show was canceled before it ever aired. The high production values of the sets, the costumes, the talent had been to much of a financial burden and when they weren't able to keep the backstage staff from walking out, it all fell to pieces. Within days Cutlass Wrestling had declared itself bankrupt, the owner was in the wind. Deprived of their final match, Rose waited patiently to Scarlet to pop up again somewhere to chase her down, only to find she was gone from the scene entirely.

Not content to sit idle, she continued to tour and improve, though it wasn't quite the same. She didn't have that spark she felt when face against Scarlet. She had lost her fire, and wasn't sure how to reclaim it. In hopes of finding stiffer competition to recapture her magic, she set off to sign with AFW after hearing how impressive their competitors were. While in contract discussions, someone had brought up that they were a fan of Rose's work with Scarlet, and it was a shame the Pirate Captain had retired. She couldn't believe it. After some grilling of the staffer, she managed to get on contact with a chain of people who were able to direct her towards where the Pirate Captain lived.

She approached the home of her hated enemy and knocked. True to her namesake, she answered as the pirate she had hated for so long, and come to admire in her absence. She came that day not to fight, but to offer a truce. She had with her a contract for them both to sign with AFW. If Scarlet refused to sign, she would as well. She had come to view them as two sides of the same coin after all this time. It didn't feel right without her. The older woman signed, under the condition that someday their truce would be broken and they would end their feud for good.
