◖Full Name:
Marietta Nicoliya Dulviar-Kiepersol-Rosewood◗
To keep introductions to new friends short and sweet, she just uses her mother's maiden name of Rosewood, rather than her father's family name of Dulviar or her father's mother's maiden name of Kiepersol. It's a bit confusing, but due to the connection of family wineries these names are historically attached to, it's best for Marietta to hold them all – since she's the only one destined to gain the entirety of the estates.
◖Nickname: Marrose / The Wine Princess / Libellula
◗
Marrose is a little moniker that her close friends have dotted on her to avoid pronouncing her first name, Marietta. She prefers it - makes her sound stronger and less... petite...
The Wine Princess - Forbes 500 marked her as such, and that's what the world has become to know her as.
Libellula (Dragonfly) – her adored rabbit name given to her by her Italian grandfather, Horacio Nicola Dulviar. He was the one honored by naming his only grandchild.

◖Personality
◗
Marrose's personality is one that is of extremes: When she is feeling like herself, and everything is going her way, she has an extremely sweet and silly disposition; very kind and friendly. However, when her asthma drains her into a poor state of mind, Marietta is best described as insensitive, distant, dejected, and suicidal. Her strong asthmatic and panic attacks frustrates her, making a very athletic and determined young lady slow and flustered at herself. Nevertheless, she is a work-o-holic and a fiercely loyal friend.
She can be rather stubborn at times, hard-headed, and strong willed to keep things her way if the other way seems far too uncomfortable or just downright uncalled for. Due to how she's had to manage her life without a proper set of parents, Marrose has drilled herself to effectively and efficiently be independent. Keeping her life in control is somewhat necessary due to her health, but it also makes her feel secure in her believe that she will not mature into a disgrace to her grandmother and tarnish her grandfather's good name.
◖Biography
◗
In her early years, Marietta was constantly in the hospital due to her ill health. Premature at birth with poor lungs, Marrose always struggled to stay afloat just to take her next breath. It didn't make simplicity easy for her. School, friends, hanging out, dance, swimming... all of her joys became a life or death situation if something triggered a serious attack; sometimes her inhaler just wasn't enough. This did not stop her from trying new things, and succeeding in a few of them, but it made the basic challenges of life difficult.
Always carries an inhaler, but she has learned to control her breathing to a point with Tai Chi breathing techniques. Still, if she becomes too nerved and falls into a panic, her attacks will be harder to control and cause her to pass out. These forms of serious attacks can leave her lethargic or unconscious for hours. Usually, for seriously long travels, her mother and grandparents insist that she carries a small oxygen pack, extra inhalers, smelling salts, and emergency injectors filled with high dosages of her medication that rapidly opens her passageways.
Marietta had missed out on experiencing a stable family life. Her father, Kaspesin Dulviar-Kiepersol, was the CEO of the Dulviar-Kiepersol Wineries. The Kiepersol Wineries of the US, a company of his making, is located originally in Rochester, New York. But now, they span clear across the United States. He's the son of Horacio & Locendia Dulviar, owners of the infamous Dulviar Chianti, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon wines of Tuscany, Italy. They still reside in the historical "Abbey of the Good Harvest" (Badia a Coltibuono) in Tuscany where the Vallombrosan monk, Bro. Emanuelo Esposito, entered the monastery in the 11th century and took over the care of the holy wines.
Marietta's mother, Marnella Rosewood, was a former dancer at the Boston Ballet. Her career ended suddenly due to a very serious injury that forced her to leave dance for life. She obtained a job as a designer for Sweeney Designs in Chicago, IL; an advertising and marketing firm that happened to work for the Kiepersol Wineries. She was eventually promoted into an entry level ad designer position, and her first project was assisting the design team for Kiepersol Wineries; where she met Kaspesin. After several years of dating, and soon engagement, they changed the face of the wine industry forever by creating The Kiepersol-Rosewood line; turning heads and soaring higher in the American winery markets.
Kaspesin and Marnella's marriage was not favored by his parents. Regardless, the two married without their blessings, but far too soon they felt they were not compatible and separated after Marietta was born. Marietta has never met her father; only heard of his name and seen older pictures of him on the internet. Because of her birth, her grandparents made amends with Marnella, for she is now the mother of their only grandchild - the new heir to their historical and ancient family company.
Marietta grew up between the U.S. and Italy, holding dual citizenship. This all for her grandfather's quest in teaching his grandchild everything about the company before his passing. His son had not become the man he'd hoped he would. Therefore, to avoid watching all his lifelong hard work fall to greed and stupidity, he'd molded Marietta and kept her safe.
Before Mariette was about to start college, her mother talked her into living in Italy and starting college there. Reluctant at first, she decided to do it, learning that the whole reason for the sudden need for her to move was that her grandfather was dying...and her father was out to murder her in order to gain the inheritance he believed he deserves.
Now, after college in Italy and learning the art of wine making, business management and marketing, Marrose had returned to take over Kipersol-Rosewood with her mother by her side, preparing for her debut and openings of several new offices and warehouses across the nation. Her grandmother manages the Dulviar Italy half of the company - keeping things up and running until Marrose's return.
