She is also a CRAU from Upcycle, where she experienced many lovely things, such as 1) nearly being killed by the reanimated corpse of someone who died in front of her in canon, 2) saved a bunch of people from drowning and then had an existential crisis at the bottom of a lake for a few days, and 3) nearly got killed by an old woman with a cleaver because she is very bad at sewing.

Personality:
Strengths

First and foremost, Rose is very loyal. She warms up to people slowly, but the people she feels close to, she’s very ‘ride or die’ for. Rose is afraid of death and doesn’t like putting herself in situations where she might be put in danger, but if she had to sacrifice herself to save someone she cared about, she would. She would do it if only because she couldn’t imagine her life without them.

Rose is also very persistent and adaptable, especially considering how coddled she once was. Being the Warrior of Light has put her in many a strange situation, some of which left her with (what she felt like) was no way out. She’s still alive...somehow, and that’s a testament to her ability to change with the circumstances, for better or worse.

She doesn’t want to admit it, but Rose is very compassionate and helpful. For her first couple years as the Warrior of Light, she fought primals because she felt that it was the only way to keep her friends and family safe. However, as she served in the role more, she began to have a habit of helping others, even people she didn’t know. If one were to ask her, she would say that she’s not going to go out of her way to help someone she’s not close to. In practice? She will almost certainly assist. There’s no better example of this than the flood event in Upcycle where she helped and saved several people, even though she had hardly met some of them.

Finally, Rose always speaks her mind, for better or worse. This is as much a flaw as it is a strength, but Rose isn’t afraid to say when she’s doing a job because she’s been asked to do it and doesn’t have a choice (as opposed to doing something out of the goodness of her heart.

Weaknesses

Rose’s biggest (and most apparent) weakness is her attitude. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind, but some things definitely come out harsher than they need to, and she has a habit of pushing people away that she doesn’t know well. She’s also somewhat pessimistic; several endeavors she’s undertaken as the Warrior of Light are ones that she felt doomed to fail, but felt that she had no choice but to undertake (the liberation of Ala Mhigo being the first that comes to mind.

Rose also has a tendency to run from her problems. Rose isn’t conflict adverse, until it’s people she cares about. When given the option of ‘fight or flight,’ Rose is more likely to pick ‘flight.’ A chief example of this is Rose’s attitude towards her family; although she says the reason she hasn’t contacted them is because she’s afraid that she’ll put them in danger, she’s also afraid to resume contact after so long. To her, it’s less scary to never speak to them again if it avoids confrontation.

Finally, Rose can be reckless. Rose prides herself on her calm attitude, but the truth is that Rose doesn’t always think through her decisions. When Yugiri came up with the idea of a hit on Zenos, even though she knew it was unlikely to succeed, she joined in, thinking it their only shot at victory. She also has a bad habit of going out to drink alone, despite being such a public figure and hero. She knows, she’s putting herself in danger, but she wants to retain any control over her life that she can, and to her, this is the best option.

Motivation

Rose’s greatest motivation depends on her canon point. After Upcycle, she has two primary motivations. The first is that she wants to go home. While she doesn’t want to go back to being the Warrior of Light, she is worried for her friends and their safety. Also, she misses them.

Second, she’s worried about surviving. This was true at the end of 5.0 (when she nearly died), and it’s also true after Upcycle where she was nearly chopped in half by an old lady with a cleaver.

Mundane Interests

Before becoming Warrior of Light, Rose’s hobby was sketching and painting. She preferred to sketch landscapes and flowers (hence where why she chose the name ‘Rose’). She has an interest in fashion, and a habit of spending her off nights at bars.

Attitude Upon Arrival

Rose is the type of person who typically, when put in a jamjar setting, would resent being taken from home and be hesitant to warm up to people. And she was! When she first came to Upcycle.

Upon arriving here, however, she will be a little more cheerful. It sucks that she’s still not home, but it beats being on fog death island.

Also, either because she’s more relaxed or because Upcycle has taught her the importance of making friends, she will be more likely to warm up to people. Still prickly, of course, but she won’t be as combatitive as she would be if she was taken straight from canon.

Abilities:
White Magic - Rose can commune with nature to give her access to healing powers and elemental spells. Although some spells can do damage, the primary function of White Magic is healing.
Soroban’s Blessing - She has the ability to breathe underwater. Yes, it’s canon. Yes, it’s kind of dumb.
Machinistry - When applicable, Rose has the ability to wield a gun.
The Echo - Rose has the ability to resist tempering (brainwashing) from primals (gods), as well as to see the planet’s past. The ‘seeing the past’ part cannot be activated at will.
The Blessing of Hydaelyn - Rose has a very special (tm) relationship with her planet/god, Hydaelyn. Likely useless here, even if regained.

Inventory:
Her Staff
Her Gun - Probably depowered.
Her White Mage robes - They have usually have the ability to enhance healing magic, also depowered.
Several hairpins - One is her signature one that she wears normally, one is a gift from a friend in Upcycle.


Vision: Anemo
Reason: Rose’s primary reason for her negative attitude is her resentment to her role as Warrior of Light. It’s a role that’s weighty that she can no longer escape. Ultimately, she longs for freedom.
Role: Healer/DPS but emphasis is on healer.
Constellation: A Rose! ...get it?
