	Her codename was actually originally coined by Wyrmhole and Genovefa originally objected to it, stating she was not a witch. The codename issue was left undecided (and Genovefa uncommitted) until Wyrmhole publicly referred to her in the media as the White Witch and thanks to the media it stuck. Genovefa was bemused by this, and has committed to the role with aplomb. Most of the sentinels simply call her Genovefa amongst themselves, or White Witch when in public.

	Although Xeno has not seen fit to share the reasons why with anyone, it has become obvious to everyone that Xeno has a strong mistrust if not outright contempt for Genovefa (White Witch) - even to the point of arguing against her joining the team, refusal to participate in any mental communication or place any kind of trust in her. When the White Witch acts with a team member, Xeno commonly insists on accompanying. The only reason she has stated for this behaviour is: "I don't trust her."

	So far none of Genovefa's attempts to improve their relationship has come to any positive outcome since Xeno refuses to trust her because Genovefa did not undergo the medical examination most of them underwent on joining the Sentinels - something that Genovefa has so far refused to do. Perhaps in time this may change, but so far neither of them seem to be shifting attitude.

	Just as many often wonder which is the "most powerful" powerhouse in the group - Princess or Rocky - many wonder the same about the group's two mystics. As Genovefa has only been in the sentinels a short time, the only comparisons have so far been test results/analysis in the Emerald Tower's training room. Sophie Anderson's report so far states that their offensive effects appear to be on comparable power levels with Dragoneye often having better "control" whilst Genovefa often has more raw power but less specific control (at least on offensive magic). Sophie has additionally noted that Genovefa can simultaneously mix and match three magical styles (Telepathy/Enchantment, Shapeshifting and Sorcery) as opposed to Dragoneye's two (Dragon Channeling and Magic). Sophie has theorised this may be because Genovefa, if the belief that she is very old is true, has had a long time to learn ways to channel her magic whilst Dragoneye has inherited his magical ability only a few months ago, and still has a long way to go to learn how to channel his magical abilities.

	Genovefa is mercurial but extremely easy to get along with, not easily fazed by anyone's attitude towards her and adapts her social style depending on who she speaks to and her intent (especially when she takes on a "persona"). She is a master manipulator who seems to think that any means (including using deception, coercion, guilt and emotional blackmail) justifies the end (assuming she feels the end is justifiable) but balances the end means with the collateral damage. That is to say, if something is important she will use a "dubiously ethical" measure to achieve it, possibly gaining someone's emnity in the process (though she will usually have changed her look to "a disposable form" so this means little) but would not (at least, has not of yet) done anything that would cause permanent harm within the Sentinels, for some benefit to her or the team. She has shown to have a mischievous side and a love for the arts (especially music and dance). She seems especially fond of children, and she always appears to enjoy making time to play with them (though Mongrel once joked that perhaps she simply ~~wants~~ to eat them).

	Genovefa has not seen fit to share why she has allied herself with the Sentinels. She pretty much appeared out of nowhere and helped them, then insisted on joining the group. Most Sentinels doubt she does it out of a sense of compassion, and considering her mischievous nature reason that she probably "does it for the kicks." Although most of the Sentinels have at least some mistrust of her (mostly because of her deceptive nature and mysterious, secret background), she has done nothing to make anyone doubt that she firmly desires to protect Emerald City and help the Sentinels. So the sentinels trust her intentions, if not her manner.		Genovefa has not seen fit to share why she has allied herself with the Sentinels.

	In her "natural" appearance Genovefa is a strikingly beautiful woman seemingly in her early 20s with pale skin and silver-white hair and eyes. She favours striking make-up (which appears to be magical in nature rather than cosmetically applied). When they first met Genovefa her "garments" were simply a glamorous black mini-dress, but since being given the nickname "White Witch" by Wyrmhole (see Other Notes) has taken to wearing a black, shoulder-feathered corset-dress with boots that very much fits with the imagery of a witch. As it seems she can change her clothing (and ~~physical~~ appearance) at will, she regularly changes her outfit, dressing for effect and appears to have a good eye for modern fashion. Her physique shows her to be in good physical shape as a seeming result of regular exercise.

Her physique shows her to be in good physical shape as a seeming result of regular exercise.

	As Rosa Palvin she looks like an equally attractive, but more "normal" female in her early 20s. She has a east-European complexion and medium-brown hair and favours softer make-up styles. Whilst she still appears to be physically fit, in this form it is less obviously pronounced. When working Rosa is fond of skirted suits or attractive dresses of styles appropriate for her occupation or whatever best effects her current situation. Again, the ability to change her clothing, appearance and cosmetics at a whim allows her to adapt her style at a whim - although it is extremely rare than any style she wears does not look stunning on her (either as a "girl next door" subtle beauty, or blantanly sultry vamp).

	As pointed out, Genovefa has the ability to change her appearance to any humanoid form she wishes at a whim, or alter fine points of her cosmetic appearance - so variations of her normal/Rosa's appearance, or entirely new looks are common (especially if she is trying to be unnoticed, or highly noticeable)~~.

Rosa is a popular rising star in the modelling industry who frequents many social events and has been known to date high-society, or socially/politically reputable people (which cynics in the Sentinels have pointed out seems to expand her network of connections).

	Genovefa did not originally feel a need to come up with a superhero codename as she stated that she had no need to conceal her identity - but in practice she maintains a secret identity in reverse in order to keep her Rosa Palvin identity separate from the attention her Sentinel identity receives. She claims that if the public were to learn that the White Witch and Rosa Palvin were the same person, Rosa would receive undue attention and therefore "lose her usefulness" and need to be discarded. She claimed to have "put too much time and effort into setting up Rosa to abandon her without purpose." This indicates to her Sentinel team-mates that neither the White Witch nor Rosa Palvin are her true identities, which does not help garner any trust.
