Bio and Character Concepts:
(additions and/or modifications can be made once others join and the game gets going):

Rosario is a younger-middle daughter in a typically large, reasonably well off Castillian family in Rancho Soldano.

When she was a young woman, she saw a neighbor saved from the Inquisition by El Vago. Like many young ladies, she became enamoured of the grinning champion of Castille. Not just the man, but the idea. She heard stories of those who helped Vago in his fight for Castille, began spending more time with her fencing lessons, and started quietly asking questions and making comments that would hopefully bring her to the attention of the companions of El Vago without drawing the attention of the Inquisition.

Unknown to Rosario, her older brother Ricardo was already working with Los Vagos. He suppressed a knowing smile, indulged her interest in swordplay, and occasionally took her with him to visit Don Alejandro Vasquez de Soldano. Don Alejandro secretly leads a cabal of Los Vagos from his rancho outside Altamira.

While Ricardo was gone on a secret task, a message came for him from Don Alejandro. Rosario kept it, assuming it was something that should be kept secret. Eventually, when Ricardo failed to return, Rosario opened the message, which was a request for Ricardo to do some relatively simple "favor" for Alejandro. She decided to do the favor herself, and when Don Alejandro found out he realized that the young woman had become a "loose end" that was best dealt with by bringing her into the fold.

Rosario moved to Don Alejandro's rancho, and began more formal training. The Don had come to the realization that, while swordsmen were all well and good, they had certain limitations when guarding a lady that a swordswoman wouldn't share. Rosario's native talent is augmented by her brother's Soldano blade (left in her care since it would have been a liability on whatever mission he was on when he disappeared), though she'd much rather be able to return it to him.

After thinking that Catherine Zeta-Jones in Mask of Zorro would be a good basis for Rosario, I went looking for pics.

• Zorro and Elena sparring (the one labled "Anything for love,")
  Z: "I don't have the time to give you the proper instruction."
  E: "I have had the 'proper instruction' since I was four."
• Another of the same swordfight. Underestimate this "frail flower" at your peril :-)
• A good daughter of the church? ;-) (scroll down to the picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones)

Logs from the SL6 game (I'm no longer active, but maintain these for those who may still be interested).

• David and Rosario chat (from before we left Castille to chase after Murro)
• Rothe combat summary
• "All Together Now" archive
• Three "Elseworlds" (bits that were for fun but not part of game continuity): Cat-fight between Rosario and Dragina, Dragina/Zoolander fist-fight, and Castillian Steel (Rosario and Diego sparring).
