==Biography==
===Past===
As a young girl, Rosalina met Luma in a rusted starship. (presumably the Starshroom) Luma was crying because he was looking for his mother, who was coming for him on a comet. Rosalina promised to wait for her with Luma. One night, Rosalina looked for Luma's mother with her father's telescope. When they could not find her anywhere, Rosalina decided to look for Luma's mother themselves. Rosalina and Luma fixed the rusty starship and set sail to the starry sky.
Many days passed, and Rosalina got hungry. She looked at her packed essentials, but realizes she forgot to bring water. Luma then gets some star bits and asks Rosalina if she wanted some. She agrees to have some star bits, and she and Luma began to collect star bits with Rosalina's net.
After traveling much, the pair finally found a comet, but Luma's mother was nowhere to be found there. Rosalina and Luma decided to rest in the comet for a while.
One night, Rosalina had a dream about her mother. When she asks her mother where she is going, her mother tells her to not fret since she is not going anywhere, and is always watching over her, like the sun in the day and the moon in the night. Rosalina then sadly asks her what about when it rains, and she can't see the sun or the moon. 
Her mother thinks for a moment before responding that she will turn into a star in the clouds and wait for her tears to dry. Afraid she will never see her mother again, Rosalina started crying. Luma started crying as well, before Rosalina attempted to calm Luma down. She then says to Luma that she will take care of him.
Rosalina and Luma decided to make a house of their own. They realize the house was too big for just the two of them, and Rosalina knew it would be enough if her father, brother, and mother were here. That night, she falls asleep in the starship, clutching her favorite stuffed bunny close to her heart.
One day, Rosalina meets other Lumas from an apricot planet. They all start calling Rosalina "Mama", which confused Rosalina. She decided to take all of them to the new house, after she finished naming them all.
After seeing the 100th comet, Rosalina wondered if her home planet was still as blue as it was. She used her father's telescope to find a terrace, where she used to go stargazing when she was at her home planet. She remembered the memories she spent with her father, brother, and mother, but she suddenly burst into tears when she remembered her mother.
Luma tried to comfort Rosalina by saying her mother is part of her, but Rosalina could not stop her tears. That was when Luma transformed into a comet that can carry everyone on this journey. Rosalina was surprised, so the Lumas told her about their destiny. Rosalina hugged the Lumas and decided to no longer have star bits on her eyes.
One day, a new Luma was welcomed to the new family of Rosalina. She and the Lumas made a star cake together, and Rosalina smiled and thought to herself that she accepted her new family, and that she will stay with them until they are ready to leave home. And when they do leave, she will see them off with a smile, since that's what makes a mother happiest. That night, when Rosalina lay down to sleep, she saw a soft light which reminded her of her former home. She thought she could go back home once every hundred years to "nap in her favorite sleeping nook".
===Super Mario Galaxy===
During one of her centennial visits to the Mushroom Kingdom, the Comet Observatory is attacked by Bowser, who steals the observatory's Power Stars and Grand Stars. Rosalina later appeared to Mario/Luigi after Peach is kidnapped. In order to aid Mario/Luigi she gives him Luma, the same one seen with Peach at the Star Festival. Once Mario/Luigi collects the first Grand Star, she explains to him that Bowser stole the Power Stars and requests his help to get them back.
After Mario/Luigi collects enough stars to power the ship, Rosalina flies the observatory to the center of the universe for the final confrontation with Bowser. After the Lumas sacrifice themselves to stop the giant black hole created by a planet far from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor thus, erasing the game's events from history, and thus, resetting the timeline, Rosalina appears to Mario/Luigi and explains the "cycle of life" to him before he awakens at Peach's Castle. When Mario/Luigi looks up in the sky and spots a reborn galaxy, Rosalina explains to him that all new life will carry the essence of the stars, including Mario/Luigi himself. 
In the true ending cutscene, (after collecting 120 stars with both Mario and Luigi) Rosalina gives her thanks to the player, telling them she will watch over them beyond the stars. She then proceeds to transform the Comet Observatory into a comet and shoots off into the stars.

When Mario and Luigi collect 120 stars in the game and defeat the final boss again, she will be in her library reading the story of the game to Lumas, she will reveal that there are green stars in the game.

==Physical appearance==
Like most other human Mario characters, Rosalina has blue eyes, though hers are more cyan in color. Only her left eye is visible from a directly frontal view as her particularly large bang of her hair hides her right eye. She has peach-colored defined lips, and long platinum-blonde hair that reaches to her waist. While she was young, according to her storybook, her hair was something more like a red or strawberry-blonde, which had similarly happened to Peach due to NES limitations.
Her primary outfit consists of a turquoise long-sleeved gown that bares her shoulders, along with a silver crown with four gems on it, a sliver star-shaped brooch, gold star-shaped earrings, and silver high heels. She notably appears in this outfit when playing golf, making her one of two girls (White Mage the other) to participate in a primarily sports-themed game wearing her heels (though she keeps the full-length dress, whereas White Mage sports a mini dress-like garment). Her Super Smash Bros. design adds glittery star outlines around the bottom of her dress. 
Like Peach and Daisy, she has a biker suit when riding bikes or ATVs in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8. Hers is primarily white and teal, to differentiate hers from those of Peach and Daisy. Like with Daisy, her hair needs to be flowing up to see the heart-shaped decal on the back of the suit.
Her primary sports outfit is akin to the sporty mini dresses of Peach and Daisy (though, again, teal), but with what appears to be white leggings instead of the other two girls' socks. Her swimwear (as seen in the fifth Mario and Sonic game) is based on those of Peach and Daisy (though teal again), but tweaked, along with sleeves to resemble her usual dress.
Similar to Peach, she wears a female Cat Suit when taking the Super Bell, where she is resembling a black tuxedo cat with white paws and fur, while still having her silver crown and star earrings attached to her.
==Personality==
In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Rosalina is portrayed as a generally wise, kind, and mature character. She has an intimate knowledge of the universe and cares deeply for the Lumas and her friends, to the point of assuming the role of total caregiver and mother figure for the former. Her outward strength and inner sadness, as shown in her history book, are likely due to the loss of her own mother. Rosalina is a quiet and reserved character, and often pauses when explaining how the universe works. Rosalina's voice has also been shown to be rather monotonous, even when excited. Before Super Mario 3D World, his voice also had a reverb effect.
Since Mario Kart Wii, however, Rosalina has been depicted as a bit more cheerful and playful than in her original stoic portrayal. For example, Rosalina cheers and shouts louder, while keeping her introverted and melancholic nature. Like most players, Rosalina likes special activities, but in a humbler way, like when she simply waves to the audience when she scores a point in the Mario Tennis series. Since Super Mario 3D World, Rosalina has also displayed more energy in her actions, such as when she celebrates after reaching the flagpole in said game.
When Rosalina was young, she was depicted as optimistic and proactive, helping a Luma build a spaceship to find the Luma's mother. Despite this, she developed feelings of longing and melancholy, to the point of mourning the loss of her mother, though her spirits were easily improved when the Lumas impressed her with comets and an offer to bring her back to her home. home planet.

**Size alteration: At the end of Super Mario Galaxy, Rosalina appears before Mario (or Luigi) as a giant.
**Telepathy: When Mario wakes up in the Mushroom Kingdom after the Lumas have thrown themselves into the black hole created by Bowser's galaxy, Rosalina telepathically speaks to Mario, telling him that all life carries the essence of the stars, even himself.

==Quotes==
==Vocals==
*Rosalina's giggles
==Trivia==
*Rosalina is depicted being right-handed in artwork, but left-handed in-game. However, in the cut-scenes in Super Mario Galaxy, Rosalina is right-handed. Mario Party 10 marked the first occasion in which she is depicted being left-handed in artwork, but right-handed in activities or minigames. This may suggest that she is ambidextrous.
*Rosalina is the only human female who is classified as a heavyweight in the Mario Kart series, as Peach and Daisy are usually middleweight, and their baby counterparts are lightweight. Like with Waluigi in Mario Kart Wii, her debut game, her height may have a role in it.
*Rosalina is based off the Blue Fairy from Disney's Pinocchio.
*She is one of the tallest characters on the Super Mario franchise and is the second tallest female.
*She is the only princess in the Super Mario franchise to not have a love interest. 
*Rosalina is also the only princess whose dress and character design remained the same since her debut, while Peach and Daisy's dresses were changed in Mario Party 4. 
*Her first playable 2D Mario game appearance will be in the DLC updates of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, However she retains her current voice actor, Her fire form from Super Mario 3D World returns in this game and she also does not have her hair in a ponytail like Princess Peach in the same game in fire form, and she can even use even more power-ups.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28144737/trivia/?ref_=tt_trv_trv
