"Exiled"; rightful place usurped; forced to play a role; bright, witty, keenly observant; an excellent judge of character; Thinker and Speaker, full of philosophical musings; obviously enjoys "acting" and the role of "actor" (the Masque) etc; I think Rosalind is like Hamlet in many ways. Her "Native hue of Resolution", however, wasn't "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of Thought". Instead of being somewhat paralyzed by it, it moved her to Action.

I am heir to a kingdom (my family's business), and my aunt seems to usurp my mother's powers all the time. I am in college, and, like Hamlet, full of philosophical musings that make me creepy. Also like Hamlet, I have a hard time making important decisions. Luckily, I haven't had to follow Hamlet's path so far. I expect to keep it that way. In terms of personality, I was just told the other day by a friend that I was SO Rosalind from "As You Like It." I didn't think Hamlet and Roaslind could be in the same person, but...here we are.
