J'khara (Khara-Rae) was born on the First Shard in the nation of Nabaath Areng. As a child she idolized Ardbert's party, of which her sister, Renda-Rae, was a Bard. To her sister's resentment, Khara wanted to be a warrior just like them, and bought a scepter from a local market to train in secret. She made a living as a merchant, hunter and pest exterminator until the flood of light approached. When the flood came, the Ascian Elidibus rescued her and Urianger took her in on the Source, on the condition that her traumatic memory of the First be wiped. He agreed.

Khara woke up in Thanalan not knowing who she was. In route to Ul'dah, she settled on the name Rose Inbloom. Upon joining the Thaumaturge guild, she began life anew, befriending Daisy Chain. The two of them were soon taken under the wing of their future mentor, veteran adventurer Sapphire Bloodstorm.

At first, Rose had a hard time controlling her powers. Lingering darkness consumed her, causing her to "massacre" beast tribes and wildlife with her fire spells. Her presence aroused fear in many, including Daisy, who was training in conjury and sensed Rose's aetherial imbalance. After getting busted for leveling an Amalj'aa camp, Sapphire escorted Rose to the Scions, where they decided that she should take a break from things involving magic and try Archery in Gridania.

After becoming a Bard, Rose mastered other jobs, including Scholar and Machinist. A recent training in conjury swung her from Black Mage toward being a Red Mage. She is also a Dark Knight, though her techniques are seen as "messy" and "reckless" by other adventurers.

During the Dragonsong War, encountering the Warriors of Darkness restored Rose's memories of the First, causing her trauma initially but eventually forcing her into maturity. She passes her time by studying tomes involving the properties of aether, knowledge of Hydaelyn and the 13 reflections, and relating the use of Auracite in Ivalice in comparison to how it was used on the 13th shard. In addition to her education, she also enjoys watching sunsets, bonfires, stargazing, riding her motorcycle or relaxing with a potent drink.

After the liberation of Doma and Ala Mhigo, Rose learned that she was to be sent back to the First to help fight the flood of light, and per Elidibus's influence changed her name to J'khara Nightshade. On The Source she's known as a Captain for the Immortal Flames, a miner, alchemist and a goldsmith. She is a well renown omni-skilled fighter, with her most popular role being that of a Bard, although upon returning to the First she reprised her role as a Black Mage (although she is commonly seen as a Scholar).

Sadly, while on the First, Sapphire was declared missing and would never be seen or heard from again. Rose and Daisy would journey together, up until Daisy's death at the hands of a certain Earth based primal. Today, going by "Rose" again, she continues her journey alone, letting nothing get between her and her quest for answers.
