Cherry_rose is a mother, grandmother,wife, and writer. She is the mother of three girls, the youngest of which is 26 and the oldest of which is 32. The middle girl is 28. Cherry has been married for 32 years and has a beautiful five yr old granddaughter and a mischievous four yr old grandson.She does accounting for a living but writing defines who she is.

One might wonder what it is that started cherry_rose on the path of such strange pursuits as are listed in her hobbies. It was the anime! Her oldest daughter introduced her to it in Aug 2001 and from there it just compounded. First it was the anime (she loves cartoons), then it was the songs that were part of the music from the anime, then it was the language so she could understand the songs without referring to a lyrics site and so she could understand the cartoons without the subtitles. She's still a long way from being fluent in Japanese, but gradually she is learning. And after the language came the manga. She loved comic books as a young girl but now finds many of the American comics not to her taste. As a result, she reads manga (Japanese comic books.) The artwork is still attractive and the story lines are good. The anime is responsible for her return to writing as well. For many years she forgot how much she enjoyed writing but has once again discovered its joys.

The writing was a direct response to her love of the anime titled Fruits Basket. Under another name and on another site she has written several fanfics revolving around the characters from Fruits Basket. She has garnered a modest following in the Fruits Basket fanfic world and now she wishes to try her hand at original fiction. As a result she is now a member of this site and expects many good things from it. Writing is her escape from reality. When writing a story she becomes absorbed in the plot and in the characters and reality tends to melt away.
