Because Roxie was my first ever OC to be posted on this Wiki, in fact my very first Ever After High OC in general, obviously her original page has a lot of flaws. But I didn't want to delete her page as is it is very dear to my heart, so if you want to see the original version, here it is.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves didn't copyright the name Snow White! There's more than one tale that uses that name! |
—Roxanne Red | |
Roxanne "Roxie" Red is the daughter of Rose Red from the fairy tale, Snow White and Rose Red. In the destiny conflict, she is a Roybel. Her tale is a fairly happy one, but she has minor issues with it. The big one is that she wishes her story was better known. It's a cool story! Just because it happens to have Snow White in the title doesn't mean it has anything to do with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves!!!! Not that she has anything against Apple it's just...
Appearance[]
Roxanne has dark red hair like her mother that she wears in two "space buns" with black sparkly bows at the base of them. She has pale skin and deep, warm brown eyes that have been pronounced "too pretty to be seen crying" . Her lips are plump and red and she is pretty tall, one of the tallest non giant students at the school.
She usually wears black and red climbing shoes, red shorts with sepals at the waistband, a red t-shirt, a black vest with a bear on the back along with a very tiny white rose. She wears black gripping gloves with a red rose on the back of one of them, not the other one.
Personality[]
Roxanne is known to be extremely trusting and there is no exaggerating here. She believes that most people are genuinely good, even the bad ones, claiming that everyone has some good in them just dying to get out. So this has led her to be the victim of many evil spells and while they make her angry, she is ready to trust them again.
She's been told she has a temper that matches her red hair and she would agree with that one hundred percent. When she gets angry, she yells and throws things and nothing can calm her down. Nothing that is, except for the color red. Literally anything that has anything red on it being put into her line of sight she is as calm and quiet as a mouse. This surprises everyone as red is supposed to make you more angry when you look at it, but they aren't complaining.
When Roxie is mad enough to throw things and there's no red, but there's also nothing near her to throw, her fingers curl and uncurl. Sometimes if you grab her hands during this, it can calm her down. Other times that makes it worse so search for something that's red before you risk grabbing her hands.
Roxie is on one hand a great student as she throws herself into every possible subject and gives 105 percent at everything she tries to do. On the other hand, that's only if she feels she really can get something from the subject. If she feels she can't, then she doesn't care. She'll avoid doing the homework for subjects that she doesn't see the point of which makes everyone frustrated with her.
She tends to go back and forth between caring too much, to the point where she's almost obsessed with things and people and their well being, to not caring at all. She can't really walk the line when it comes to people and things. Either she loves you and wants everyone to know how awesome you are or you are about as significant as a fly on a windshield. No in between.
She tends to come across as awkward. Sometimes she overshares things, and sometimes she doesn't talk at all. She's not quite sure how to get people to like her as much as she likes them, plus she also wants to be seen as the perfect princess and then there's making sure she gets the right assignments done with the best grade at the right time, she doesn't know how to balance it all.
Roxanne wants people's attention. Preferably their positive attention, but really anything is fine as that means that people are noticing her. It's kind of her worst nightmare to basically be invisible, even though students like Cerise or Ivory seem to own the fact that no one notices anything that they do and get good things done as a result. Roxanne admires people like that, don't get her wrong, but she'd never be able to pull that off.
With that being said, it isn't really a surprise that she wants to be popular. The successor from the "other Snow White tale" (it's an inside joke with Ivory that she refers to it that way every time) is one of the most popular students in the school so Roxie tries to keep an eye on what she does and mimics it. It doesn't end well as things happen that make her lose her temper that the blonde princess wouldn't bat an eye at.
One of her biggest things that stoke that temper is when people don't know her story. That's a sore spot with her but she wants to go and do something that will make sure people know who she is. She doesn't know what that is, if people don't know who she is and what her role is, soon she might decide to become a punk.
Roxie wants to be helpful. And not just because that seems to be the reason that the successor from the "Other Snow White tale" seems to be so popular because she does help everyone out that wants her to, but because that's just the type of person that she really is.
Above all else, Roxie is very sweet. She always wants to see the best in the world and she wants to make sure that it stays that way. This is a little weird when someone takes into account her temper, but there is no doubt about it. She may not be as sweet as a marshmallow, but she's very sweet and once you can get her to be your friend, you've got a friend for life.
She's brave. Not to the point where she will just do very obviously dangerous things that she should not do for no reason other than the fact that it seems like it would be fun, or because someone told her she can't. No, just to the point that if something needs to be done, she's your girl. No matter what that is. Which sometimes gets her in trouble because yes she's jumped off of a roof before so someone could see how fast they could summon their wings, luckily she was one hundred percent fine but that wasn't the point!
Roxanne has a tendency to act on impulse. She never thinks twice about things like whether or not it's a good idea to test how fast someone could summon their wings by jumping off of a roof or whether or not she really needs that shiny thingy that she has no idea what it does and costs an extravagant amount of money but it looks pretty and shiny so why not buy it! Yet another reason there's a rift between the cousins.
Roxie does not like to be tricked. She wears her heart on her sleeve, she's open with her emotions and her thoughts, everything. So she trusts everyone else to be the same way. it really hurts her if you trick her, it makes her mad and breaks her heart at the same time. To her, that's the worse thing someone can do to her.
Relationships[]
Abilities[]
Roxie has no special abilities. At least, not to her knowledge. Her cousin does and so does seemingly everyone else but she's got nothing that she was born with or magically gifted. This contributes to her desire to learn everything and become at least somewhat decent at everything since she has no magic gift to help her along.
Interests[]
Rock Climbing: Roxie likes to climb seemingly impossibly high structures and never remembers being afraid that she would fall, despite the fact that she gives her mother mini heart attacks every time she tries, Roxie's allowed to do it, provided she always wears the right safety equipment.

Dormroom[]
Her side of the room is decorated in rich shades of red, not angry red, but a color that makes you feel calm when you look at it. She has a stuffed black velvet bear on her bed, which has a red comforter printed with black roses on it. Her desk is redwood with a black vase that always has at least one rose in it. Pictures line every spare space, whether it be pictures of places she wants to climb or pictures of her friends and family.
