Story
Early history
Rooke's past life remains largely unknown.
Sometime before the events of the Tall Tale Wild Rose, she became romantically obsessed with the pirate George to an unhealthy degree, constantly pursuing him despite his relationship with Rose.
Driven mad with jealousy, she met with the infamous Graymarrow and bargained for the magic power to bind souls within objects. In return, she allowed herself to be transformed into a skeleton.
Wild Rose
When Rose and George were preparing for their wedding, Rooke ambushed them and cast the curse on the couple. Their souls were trapped in two halves of a pendant they shared that signified their devotion to each other. Rooke took the Pendant and snapped it in half, leaving Rose' portion and her trapped soul beside her corpse while keeping George's portion for herself.
She retreats to an island and pours over George's trapped soul, succumbing to mania and delighting in their being together at last. She is then fought and killed along with her fellow skeletons, and George's portion is recovered to be used in a ritual to reunite the pair.
