Rosaline Hersham

Rosaline Katherine Hersham is the main protagonist of Jetanie animated television series Inner Personality. She was creator by the show’s creator, Amrit Freeland, who also voices the character.

Background
On the show, Rosaline is an eleven-year old Minor 6 pupil, who attends the ironically named Makellos Primary School, which is named after the (fictional) city she lives in. Rosaline lives with her father, Henry, her aunt, London, and occasionally another recurring character on the show.

Personality
For the majority of each episode, Rosaline is seen with crossed eyebrows, whether she is in a situation she doesn’t like, or is happy that she has tricked someone (or in the process of doing so).

There are two sides to Rosaline’s personality; as a person, she is very intelligent and smart. Rosaline is known to have very high test results despite not revising, and is liked by her teachers. She is also very kind to the few friends she has, and puts a lot of effort into relationships with them.

On the other hand, Rosaline is also very rude, immature and naughty. In her school, she teases, bullies and ridiculous most of her classmates, and is disliked by most of the pupils. Since she is clever and sneaky, Rosaline gets away with her mischievous and disrespectful behaviour, and manages to get her victims in trouble. Rosaline is determined to be the best in everything she takes part in, and is willing to go out of her way to make sure she is. She is also willing to break promises and play unfairly in order to make sure she gets the best outcome in the end. She is generally nastier to those who she is scared may be smarter or luckier than her.

Although Rosaline seems to have fun in school, and is usually enjoying herself on the outside, on the inside, she is frightened of school and the people she dislikes. She is scared of trusting people she doesn’t know well, and doesn’t enjoy taking risks unless she “has to”. She is upset by the fact that her mother abandoned her, and despite her father being scared of finding a new partner, she tries to convince him to do so, as she wants a mother in her life.

Rosaline shows a various amount of broad interests; she enjoys writing in her diary, and has a large collection of archives. She also shows interest in video games, apparently playing ones she is “too old for”. Rosaline is also known by her friends and family to be a collector of comic books, and also has a collection of VHS tapes. She plans on releasing an autobiography when she is older.

Among her interests, Rosaline is shown to have a variety of surprise talents. She is shown to have very good reflexes and is physically strong. According to Rosaline, herself, she exercises ten minutes everyday, before going to bed. She also has a very good memory, which could explain how she can perform well in tests without revising. Occasionally, Rosaline enjoys dancing, and is shown to be very energetic when doing so.

Henry Hersham
Henry Hersham is Rosaline’s single father. The two have a very strong relationship, as Henry spoils Rosaline very badly and goes out of his way to help her with any problems. The two enjoy each other’s company, making a lot of jokes and laughing with each other (even though the jokes mainly involve Henry being overweight or other people the two dislike). Henry plans on making Rosaline rich and successful like he is, and Rosaline wants to grow up like her father. Although Rosaline cares a lot for her dad, she can find him embarrassing at times as well.

Katherine Hersham
Rosaline has not seen her mother, Katherine, since she was one year old. She is upset that her mother left her, and is eager to find herself a stepmum. Due to her middle name sharing her mother’s first name, Rosaline tries to hide her middle name from most people, as she does not want to be reminded about her existence. Rosaline has stated that if she ever sees her mother again, she “will have a lot of questions to ask her”.

London Bristol
London Bristol is Rosaline’s maternal aunt, who she lives with. The other characters on the show often mistake the two to be sisters, or, in rare occasions, mother and daughter. London often goes to Rosaline for advice when she needs it, but since London is not assertive or clever like her niece is, Rosaline’s advice usually doesn’t work.

Fyp Silami
Ever since they started school, Rosaline and Fyp have been best friends despite their contrasting personalities. Due to their strong relationship, the two are seen doing nearly everything, including playing video games, having lunch, telling each other stories and doing class work, together. Rosaline puts a lot of effort into her relationship with Fyp; she buys him expensive gifts, helps him get out of difficult situations, and is willing to take severe risks in order to help him.

Despite all of this, Fyp seems concerned about Rosaline’s attitude towards others, and tries to encourage her to change, often with her failing to do so. The two are shown to have arguments at times as well, but whenever they fall out, Fyp always misses Rosaline’s company, and admits that he cares for her a lot.

Cathie Roger
Throughout the show’s entire run, Rosaline considers Cathie her archenemy. Although it is presumed that the two only dislike each other because Rosaline is scared Cathie may be able to outperform her, it appears that Rosaline doesn’t like Cathie’s personality and traits either. It is also possible that Rosaline is jealous of Cathie, and thinks she is lucky and takes what she has for granted.

Rosaline’s dislike for Cathie is shown to be severe. She enjoys any misfortune Cathie receives and hates to see her get any praise or fortune. She is also extremely reluctant to pair with Cathie, even if it is her only way out of a conflict.

Cheq Bush
Cheq Bush is Rosaline’s teacher. Cheq has strong respect for Rosaline, always praising her and comparing her positively to the other students. She is also the only of his students that he allows to refer to him as his first name.

In contrast, Rosaline doesn’t seem to care much about her teacher, even calling him names behind his back. Cheq is also a recurring victim when it comes to Rosaline’s schemes, and doesn’t even realise it! When things begin to get the better of her, however, Rosaline is shown to actually appreciate her teacher’s compliments.
