𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 / rosamund watson

I’ve seen so many people over the years talk about everything Rosie gets from her mum and Sherlock; but all of them seem to forget that John is in the picture and her primary caregiver. So this is a list of things she gets from him. This is a repost from my former blog.

𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆 / 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓

Height: Rosie Watson makes up in personality what she lacks in inches. Measuring at 1.55m tall, she is officially the shortest in her cobbled together family. Which means, that John finally towers over someone. Before she stopped growing, Rosie would even laugh along with everyone’s jokes about her dad’s height and vowing to be taller than him. Fate, however, decided that in actuality she would just near his height while wearing heels but never surpassing it.

Money Management & Self Sufficiency: Rosie grew up wanting for nothing, she knows she is very fortunate that way — however, her dad did not and not only was the value of earning a living imparted to her, she also adopted his practicality about spending. Money doesn’t grow on trees and it shouldn’t just be thrown carelessly ( no matter how many times one of her uncles offers to pay for her ). The same also applies to earning the things she gets: jobs, promotions, etc. She knows she could easily just pick up her phone and have shortcuts offered to her, but that isn’t the point. If Rosie gets something, she wants to have earned it.

Flirtations: Perhaps not as bad as her father John “Three Continents” Watson ( the day she heard that nickname, she wanted to set herself on fire ) but Rosie isn’t one to not bat her eyes and exchange clever quips with someone she found attractive or interesting. In her youth she was always going off on dates, or “getting coffee” or the likes — only really slowing down  when she graduated and became swamped with her work. Rosie wasn’t a player, or “easy” by any means — but she has a healthy attitude about love, sex and dating.

Temper: Rosie Watson has her mother’s control for her temper. While she is known to get frustrated like everyone does, she rarely fully and properly loses her cool. However, when she does, she essentially transforms into her father. A furious Rosie is known to stomp, curse, slam things and shout with reckless abandon — she is also very aware of it and tries to curb it and not develop the same anger issues as her father ( she loves him dearly, and has no fears regarding him — but she also knows his faults ).

Mannerisms: An angry or even just an ‘reached her limits’ Rosie has been known to sport her father’s “fury smile”. For the longest time, Rosie was adamant that she never did that, convinced she would know if she was grinning — it wasn’t until she caught her reflection that she realised the truth. Rosie also has her own variation of the “John Watson Lip Lick” — as a kid she started doing it just as her dad in an attempt to be JUST LIKE HIM, only to end up with the habit sticking. As she grew older, and began wearing makeup, Rosie eventually shifted to a lip bite ( after getting the taste of lipstick in her mouth too many times ). She also is known to flex and clench her fingers, but hers stem from itching to be at her piano or wanting to write or type.

Loyalty and Bravery: Rosie Watson stands by the people she cares about without hesitation or wavering. She considers herself a good judge of character and trusts people unless given a strong reason not to. She understands people are human and will disappoint her, there is room for error in her loyalty just as she hopes there is the same for her in others — but trust that is broken is not easily repaired. However, she does not loose faith in others easily. In addition, she does not frighten easy — or rather, frighten to the point of inability to act often. In the face of danger, she will admit to being scared as she does the action that frightens her ( and with her family and her chosen career, she has wound up in plenty frightening scenarios ).

Humour: Rosie can be very witty. She is funny without trying to be, it’s just a part of her personality. However, when she attempts to be funny or put thought into her humour — it’s just like John’s humour ( aka, not funny at all and the lamest sense of humour ). Rosie sometimes makes more “dad jokes” than John does, and it’s strange to everyone because she also has a very intelligent sense of humour as well as just being very clever and intellectual in general — so it’s always a tad surprising when she starts laughing at a really cheap joke.

Style: Okay, Rosie’s aesthetic varies wide ranges as her life as many different people to emulate fashion from — however, one of these avenues is her dad’s taste for woolen jumpers. His exact ones, to be precise. Yes, Rosie Watson is a jumper thief. At first she took it because she was young and playing dress up. When she got a bit older, it was part of a bit where she pretended to be her dad and would put on an exaggerated huff around the house — but by the time she was in high school and university, she has reached the conclusion that: They are comfortable and I look cute in them, fight me; and because she is tiny, they are baggy on her but in her opinion that makes them even better. More loungy and more snuggly.
