Rosanna Marlow was a human accountant who lived on the outskirts of London, and worked in the city centre in her mid-twenties, which was in the late 20th century.
Biography[[edit]]
On her first Christmas after she moved out of her parents' house, she awoke to a large egg under her Christmas tree. Confused, she went to make breakfast, and turned on the radio to reports of evacuation: Dinosaurs had appeared and were wreaking havoc across the city. Grabbing the egg and preparing to evacuate, she experienced three different versions of reality, where a different dinosaur species attacked her in each one. She died in each version of reality, finally waking up in the Cretaceous era. She was discovered by Tirion, who appeared as a large dinosaur, and took her back to a time anchor, inside which he had parked his Timeship. Over the course of several weeks, she encouraged Tirion to open up, and the two became friends. She cared for him when he became injured after a Tyrannosaurus rex attacked him, as well as making him a Snow globe as a Christmas present.
Eventually, Commander Azdrin of the Fleet of Causal Initiators found them, and she placed the egg into the anchor, destroying it and allowing her and Tirion to escape. Tirion offered for Rosanna to come and travel with him, but she refused stating that he "had all that stuff happen to you and still came out on the other side willing to help [her]", but that was "a strength [she] just [didn't] have". Parting ways on good terms, she snapped back to her correct time and place because the egg (a paradox that was keeping her there) was gone. She woke up back on Christmas morning, recalling the entire event but finding that the dinosaur-invasion realities had been averted, presumably thanks to Tirion. The egg was still there, however, and hatched into a baby raptor. (PROSE: The Dinosaur in the Snow [+]Loading...["The Dinosaur in the Snow (short story)"])
According to a feature of The Cupid Courier issue 2135 titled "Tirion & Rosanna: Where Are They Now?", Rosanna had completed a university degree and was working for a branch of the United Nations by 1990. She became "both a premiere [sic] researcher in palaeobiology and an accomplished science fiction author". (PROSE: "Tirion & Rosanna: Where Are They Now?"
