Character's name: Rhoslyn December Cunningham Character's premade: The Activist - Held Character's journal and aim sn: PB: John Patrick Amedori Short bio: Rhoslyn December Cunningham was supposed to be a girl. That's what the doctors had told his parents during ultrasounds, all the way from his fourth month of development up until he came out. His parents had decided on the name Rhoslyn long before May 12, 1992, and they loved it far too much to change it when it turned out that they were having a boy. So Rhoslyn stuck.
He grew up hyper aware of everything going on in the world. His aunt, his mother's older sister, was a news anchor on the local station, and the family sat down together every night to watch the news. As Rhoslyn grew older, he became more and more affected by the things he saw, and he vowed that some day, he would help change the world. He started this goal young, volunteering at homeless shelters and food kitchens by the time he was ten. During his elementary school career, he was personally responsible for organizing 15 extremely successful fundraisers for numerous causes, including the AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts, the Joslin Diabetes Clinic, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Steppingstone Foundation, and the MSPCA. He also participated in numerous rallies and protests, all of which he has a written record of. He's kept a notebook with records of every cause he's helped or participated in since he was seven that's starting to fall apart from being used to much. It still has pages left, through, so he's determined to fill it by the time he finishes his time at Ashbury.
His invitation to attend Ashbury was a bit of a surprise because Rhoslyn has never considered himself a particularly outstanding student. But he accepted none-the-less and believes it to be the best decision he's ever made, and not just because of the amazing education he's receiving. He also met his very best friend in the entire world when he came to Ashbury, and now he can't imagine his life without him.
Harmony is, hands down, Rhoslyn's favorite person in the world. He knows that whatever he needs, whenever he needs it, he can trust Harmony to help him with it. He knows there are rumors going around about the nature of their relationship, about whether or not they're together, but Rhoslyn has become a pro at ignoring them. He and Harmony are just very best friends, and if people don't understand that, it's their own problem.
