Nancee Wright was a good girl. She was very intelligent, funny, happy, and among other things, belligerent. She was a common Muggle as any, but she loved to fantasize. All her life she wanted to write stories about wicked witches and brave adventures. She always had a great imagination. Her belligerence followed her through grade school, causing nearly every teacher to dislike her. That didn't matter to Nancee though, because she was top student in the class, and always succeeded in making her friends laugh, even if it landed her in the headmistress's office on more than one occasion. Besides being the 'class clown,' and arguing with elders at any given chance, Nancee was a very good, kind-hearted little girl with her heart set on writing.

Nancee was to go to college to study language and literature, but when she was 18, she fell in love with a man. This love was so great, that even her love for writing could not break it. She ended up marrying this man called Steve Alden, and basically lived happily ever after. She became pregnant with a child a year later, and vowed that when this child was grown, she would go to college and become a writer. Steve was all right with this, as he was already a rich businessman. Nancee knew that she wouldn't be writing because she needed the money. She would be writing to please herself.

Nancee had a little daughter one July 17 at midnight. She called this daughter Rose, after a character in one of the stories she had written when she was just a child. This character was very pretty with shimmering black hair, and was very smart and powerful. Nancee loved this character, because Rose was a very lovable character. The confusing thing was, especially for Steve who had read the unfinished story about Rose, was that indeed, the story was unfinished! No one knew, not even Nancee herself, what was to become of Rose in the story. If Steve had say in what his daughter would be called, he would not have called her Rose, because the story, though unfinished, was quite spooky. But he did not, and Nancee decided to find out how her story ends by following the life of her daughter Rose. Steve would merely be a character in the life story of Rose Nancy Alden.
