Editing Rose Nic Liam (section)

== Biography ==
Rose was born in Shannon, Ireland, the second of five. While she would sometimes help out her siblings on the farm when she was a child, she usually could be found studying music with her father. From an early age, she loved music. In her youth, she studied many different instruments, and also became a competent singer before settling of a Terran flute. She still sings a bit (a soprano), but most of her energies are focused on her flute work. She and her parents worked tirelessly during her last year of secondary school, and in 2398, she got a place at the the Conservatoire de Paris. She graduated in 2401 in the middle of her class. However, since she attended such a widely regarded school, she was courted by many different orchestras from across the planet. She finally settled on the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, taking the position of third flute.

She stayed with the Royal Philharmonic for ten years, eventually advancing to first flute. But in 2411, she needed a change in scene. Like many others in her family, she got bitten by the wanderlust bug. She didn't immediately resign from the Philharmonic, however. She took a leave of absence, and returned to her parents' home in Ireland for several months. She began looking at other orchestras on Earth, trying to figure out which one she wanted to join. After months of searching, she settled on the Orchestra of the Federation, based out of San Francisco, considered to be the national orchestra of the Federation. After an audition, she gained entry in the position of fourth flute. This might have been a demotion on paper, but she was happier than ever in her new role.
