They're quick-thinking and adaptable, with an uncanny ability to navigate any vehicle through impossible situations. Despite their bravado, they're deeply loyal to the team.  Master driver, responsible for getting the team in and out of the heist safely.

❇ Full Name.
Roxanne Morticia Devonshire.
✮ The name Roxanne, of French, Persian, and Greek origin, means "bright," "shining," or "radiant." It is derived from the Greek name Roxana and the Persian name Roushanak.
✮ Her middle name Morticia in honor of her mother's favorite character, Morticia Addams from The Addams Family. Morticia, derived from the Latin word mors meaning "death," can be interpreted as "death-like" or "deadly," and conveys a dark, gothic elegance that matches the character's macabre and sophisticated persona.
✮ The surname Devonshire is of English origin and is derived from the name of a historic county in England, Devonshire. The name itself is a combination of "Devon," which refers to the region, and "shire," an old English term for a district or county. Thus, Devonshire essentially means "from Devon" or "of Devon," reflecting a geographical origin or association with the county of Devon in southwestern England.

❇ Nicknames.
✮ Rox ; Literally just the shortened version of her first name, and a nickname that's been used since she was a little girl. She doesn't mind it when people use this nickname, as she's grown up with it being used frequently, though she only likes it used by people she's familiar with.
✮ Ro ;  a nickname that was once used by her parents, though as she got older and their relationship deteriorated, they started using it less. It's now used occasionally by closer friends, though she doesn't like it too much when they do use it, seeing as it reminds her of her relationship with her parents.
✮ Raven ; a teasing nickname. This nickname stems from her ability to strike unexpectedly and leave no trace, much like a raven.
✮ Vesper ; her code name.

❇ Personality.
Roxanne Morticia Devonshire is akin to a masterfully crafted chess set. Her strategic brilliance and commanding presence mirror the queen piece—versatile, powerful, and capable of influencing the entire board with grace and precision. Just as the queen can move in any direction, Roxanne's sharp intellect and adaptability allow her to navigate and manipulate complex situations with unparalleled skill.

Every action Roxanne takes is calculated, designed to achieve a grander goal, reflecting the careful planning of a grandmaster who sees several moves ahead. She excels in creating intricate schemes and orchestrating outcomes, demonstrating a level of sophistication and foresight that commands respect. Roxanne has hidden fears and insecurities. Her past failures and betrayals have left their mark, making her cautious and sometimes overly guarded. These flaws are like the hidden imperfections in an otherwise flawless design—subtle yet significant, affecting her ability to fully trust and connect with others.

Roxanne's obsession with control is both her strength and her Achilles' heel. Her meticulous nature ensures that every detail is accounted for, but it also means she struggles with flexibility and spontaneity. This rigidity can lead to overly complex plans that are difficult to execute under pressure. Her charisma and leadership are as impressive as a beautifully displayed chess set—captivating and commanding, yet susceptible to scrutiny and misunderstanding. The intricate balance of her strengths and weaknesses makes her a compelling figure, constantly maneuvering through a world of high stakes and hidden agendas

( Traits / Strategic, commanding, enigmatic, precise, sophisticated, elegant, meticulous, guarded, calculating, charismatic, elusive, intense, driven, resilient, complex, obsessive, secretive, manipulative, cautious, and isolated. )

❇ Background.

Roxanne Devonshire's life story is one of sharp contrasts—brilliantly crafted plans and hidden vulnerabilities, grand successes and personal failures. Born into a family of high achievers, Roxanne was raised in the heart of London, where she was groomed from a young age to excel in every field she touched. Her parents, both esteemed figures in the business world, instilled in her a relentless drive for perfection and a meticulous attention to detail.

As a teenager, Roxanne's prodigious talents began to manifest in unconventional ways. While her peers were pursuing typical academic interests, she became fascinated by the world of strategy games and puzzles. Her natural aptitude for problem-solving and her ability to think several steps ahead set her apart. It wasn't long before she found herself drawn to the thrill of the criminal underworld, where her skills could be applied in more audacious and lucrative ways.

By her early twenties, Roxanne had made a name for herself as a rising star in the world of high-stakes heists. Her operations were marked by their complexity and elegance, earning her the respect and admiration of both her peers and her enemies. Her talent for orchestrating elaborate schemes and her ability to remain unseen made her a formidable force. However, her meteoric rise was not without its challenges.

In a pivotal heist gone wrong, Roxanne faced betrayal from a trusted ally. The fallout was catastrophic, resulting in a near-catastrophic failure and a substantial blow to her reputation. The incident forced Roxanne into hiding, separating her from her closest allies and causing her to re-evaluate her approach to her craft. The loss was more than just professional; it was deeply personal, leaving her with a sense of isolation and a fear of trusting others.

During her time in hiding, Roxanne redefined her strategy. She honed her skills further, developed new connections, and meticulously planned her return. The break from the criminal world allowed her to reassess her goals and the impact of her previous actions. When her former right-hand partner reappeared, offering her a chance to reclaim her status and exact revenge on the one who had sabotaged her previous job, Roxanne saw it as an opportunity to reset her path and prove her unrivaled prowess once again.
