Lottie Welsh was born into a poor family in a hovel in a bad part of London. She was the seventh child of 11. Eating very little in her life, she was often sick. Aged six, she was forced to work in the work house, which only made her sicker. The fumes made her cough, the long work hours gave her little to no time to rest, and the wages were low. It was dangerous, but she was forced to work.
She was lucky for a while. However, one day whilst working on a machine her dress got caught. As it started to pull her, she screamed for help but there was no one who would. Stopping the machine was the only possible way and that would cost them their jobs and possibly their lives, and their families. She was killed immediately.
Pluto noticed her suffering. Her younger brother Edmund Welsh was his child, and he had always been...odd. Everyone else called him insane when he saw monsters and only Lottie believed him, always comforting him. She had been there when he was attacked by his first monster. She had managed to get them both to safety. Pluto was grateful for this, and told her he would give her one thing. She'd always loved flowers, and had heard of nature nymphs in Roman mythology. He got Prosperina to turn her into a rose spirit, and she did so. They sent her straight to camp.
