Rosalina

Rosalina, also known as Rosetta and The Lady of the Shooting Stars, is a character from the Mario series.
== Charactah Account ==
Once, Rosalina was a young girl living on earth, but she found an old spaceship with a Luma inside. Together, they traveled across the universe, and as she grew older, to fill the void left by the loss of her mother, Rosalina adopted the Lumas as her own children. She built the Comet Observatory to travel the space lanes and keep them safe, and returns to check up on her planet of birth once a century. She aided Mario during Bowser's ill-fated attempt at conquering space.
Rosalina is a generally wise, kind, and a mature character. She has an intimate knowledge of the universe and cares deeply for the Lumas and her friends, where she assumes the role of the total caregiver and mother figure for them. Her outward strength and inner sorrow are likely due to the loss of her own mother. Rosalina is a calm and reserved character, and often takes pauses when she explains how the universe works. It has also been shown that Rosalina's voice is rather monotone, even when she is excited. Since Mario Kart Wii, however, Rosalina has been portrayed as a little bit more upbeat and joyous than her original portrayal, with examples being that Rosalina cheers and shouts louder, though still mostly keeping her introverted nature. Like most players, Rosalina enjoys special activities, but in a very humble manner.
When Rosalina was young, she was portrayed as optimistic and proactive, where she helps a Luma build a spaceship to find the Luma's mother instead of doing nothing. Even so, she gets homesick and misses her mother dearly, to the point where she cries about losing her mother, though her spirits get raised easily when the Lumas impress her with comets and that they offer to take her back to her home planet.

== Trivia ==
* Rosalina's storybook in Super Mario Galaxy is likely the story of how her Lumas, the observatory, and her powers were created.
* Rosalina wore a pannier dress in her original design, but it was changed to be bell sleeve.
* In Mario Kart Wii, she is the only female by all unlockable heavyweights. This class designation may be due to her being taller than Peach and Daisy; the same happens to Waluigi.
* In Mario Golf: World Tour, Rosalina is a playable character, but still wears her normal dress. This aspect carries over into the golf game of Mario Sports Superstars. Because of this, Rosalina is the second female to participate in a sports-centered game wearing high heels, after White Mage. (Peach and Daisy do not have this designation because the Mario Kart games and Mario Party series are not official sports games, though Mario Kart may be close to it).
* In her Fire Flower form, Rosalina puts her hair in a ponytail like Peach in sports games, the only time a female other than Peach does so. Notably, her bang still covers her right eye just as it does when she is in her normal state.
* During an interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi (director of Super Mario Galaxy and creator of Rosalina) on the development of Super Mario Galaxy, he explained that Rosalina was originally meant to be related with Peach, but it was later decided against. In her storybook, there is a depiction of her mother, who resembles Peach in a blue dress.
* During the final chapter in the French version of Super Mario Galaxy a description of her father is given describing him as a tall mustached father.
* Rosalina is shown to be one of the tallest characters in the Mario franchise. Her height is also shown to be equaled to Waluigi's, making the two of them the tallest human characters in the series. However, Waluigi often squats and almost never stands straight up as a way to emulate the short statutes of the Mario Bros. and Wario, which reduces his height. Plus Rosalina is mostly seen levitating in her spin-off appearances.
* Rosalina broke the fourth wall twice after the player completes Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2.
* Rosalina is one of the oldest characters in the Mario franchise and possibly the oldest human character as well, being at least 100 years old and possibly millions, as she states she visits Earth once every 100 years.
* In Super Mario Odyssey, other than being an 8-bit sprite, she was going to be a guitarist in New Donk City, but this was scrapped.
