Ros was born in Rhiwlas[6] to musician Steve Eaves. She attended Ysgol Rhiwlas and Ysgol Dyffryn Ogwen in Bethesda.[2] She lives in Tywyn.

She is twice winner of the Drama Medal for playwrights at the National Eisteddfod of Wales and won the Prose Medal in 2018. In June 2017, she won the prestigious Tir na n-Og Award for the third time, in the primary school category, presented by the Welsh Books Council to honour the year's best Welsh-language book.

She won the Prose Medal at the National Eisteddfod 2018, for her work Llyfr Glas Nebo, written under her nom de plume Aleloia.[7] The novel won three Wales Book of the Year awards the following year (the Fiction category, People's Choice Award, and the overall Welsh-language award),[8] and was adapted into a touring theatre production by Frân Wen in 2020.[9] It has been translated into Arabic, Polish, Catalan, French and English.[10]

In 2023, Ros' own English translation of the novel, The Blue Book of Nebo, became the first novel in translation to win the prestigious Yoto Carnegie Medal for Fiction in the 87-year history of the award.[11] The novel is told in dual narrative by a boy and his mother navigating a post-apocalyptic world and depicts Welsh identity and culture.
