==Appearance==
Rosita is an anthropomorphic pig. She has peach-pink skin with darker pink freckles on her face. She also has slightly floppy ears, green eyes, and three pointed fingers on each hand. Usually, she wears a pink short-sleeved shirt with white buttons, blue pants, and black slip-on shoes. When going to bed, she wears a purple shirt and black shorts (which are her pajamas). During her and Gunter's performance of "Shake It Off", she changes into a sparkly black leotard with pointed ears and a long feather train on the back. She also wears black heels with this costume.
==Personality==
Rosita is a devoted wife to her husband Norman and loving mother to 25 piglets. Despite her genuine love for her family, Rosita feels overwhelmed with her responsibilities and longs to be more than a stay-at-home mother. This in combination with her deep passion for singing, causes Rosita to join Buster Moon's singing competition without her family's knowledge.
Rosita's motherly and sweetness compassion extends to her fellow contestants. When Ash has a breakdown during rehearsal over her breakup with Lance, Rosita comforts the porcupine and allows her to have any gum or candy she finds in her purse. Rosita also allows Johnny to practice before her, and apologizes when Gunter prevents the gorilla from doing so. She even was friendly towrds Mike and showed happiness for him when he sang "My Way" even smiling in joy.
==Biography==
===Sing===
Rosita is introduced doing kitchen chores and singing "Firework" while her children eat breakfast at the table. One rowdy piglet mockingly imitates her, leading her to ask Norman to tell them what a great singer she is. Norman, in a hurry to get to work, distractedly tells Rosita she's great and that the bathroom sink is blocked again. Rosita looks out the kitchen window at the family's hanging clothes, feeling stuck in a rut.
That night, flyers advertising Buster Moon's singing competition are scattered across town, one hitting Rosita and Norman's kitchen window as she's washing the dishes. The next day, Rosita sends her children off to school, and makes the decision to audition at the Moon Theater. She ultimately passes the audition due to her excellent voice, but Buster found her stage presence boring, and decides to compensate by pairing her with flamboyant pig Gunter. To manage her husband's and kids' needs while she's at the theater, Rosita constructs an elaborate Rube-Goldberg device to perform her usual housework.
During practice with Gunter, Rosita becomes discouraged by her inability to dance as well as him, despite following printed instructions. After falling on her face during a performance of "Shake It Off", Rosita gives up and leaves the Moon Theater, to Gunter's disappointment. While grocery shopping, Rosita hears "Bamboléo" playing over the intercom and spontaneously bursts into dance. A security guard watching applauds Rosita, giving her the confidence to return to rehearsals. However, during a special rehearsal for Nana Noodleman, three bears who were cheated out of money by contestant Mike trespass the theater; the resulting confrontation begins a chain of events that destroys the building. Meanwhile, Rosita's device malfunctions, stranding Norman and the children on the clothesline for most of the day. Despite these disasters, Rosita is overjoyed when Buster decides that the show must go on, and helps build a stage in the ruins of the Moon Theater.
Rosita and Gunter serve as the opening act to Buster's open air concert, while Norman and the piglets sit in the audience. The two pigs perform "Shake It Off", their singing and choreography amazing the crowd. At the end of the song, the Rosita and Norman's children rush onstage to congratulate their mother. Norman himself follows behind and gives his wife a passionate kiss as the curtain closes. At the end of the movie, Rosita and her family attend the grand opening of the New Moon Theater with the other performers.
===Sing 2===
Rosita is participating with her costars in the Alice in Wonderland musical while trying to impress a talents scout named Suki Lane who's looking for performers for the Crystal Theater at Redshore City. Buster convinces his friends they can still live their dream in Redshore City after a road trip where they entertain the tourist on the bus, they made it to Redshore. After managing to sneak in for an appointment slot with Jimmy Crystal, CEO of Crystal Entertainment, Gunter unexpectedly blurts out a theater play that features retired rock star Clay Calloway, which allowed Crystal to accept.
For the show "Out of this World," Rosita was given the starring role as the lead astronaut with Gunter as her robot partner. She greets Norman and their kids arrived at Redshore. During production, Rosita is too afraid to practice a stunt she must do in the show revealing that she has her fear of heights. Buster reluctantly gives her role to Crystal's daughter, Porsha, after a talk with Crystal. Rosita believes that it was for the best. However, she's heartbroken at this and took time alone to get over it even when Norman checks up on her. Buster gives Rosita a different role of playing a green alien.
Later, Buster gather Rosita and his crew back to the room after a near death from Crystal following a big misunderstanding of firing Porsha when Buster just wanted to switch their roles. When Rosita and the crew arrived, they are amazed to see Clay Calloway when he opened the door. Right after, the gang flees, literally jumping out the window with Rosita being carried by Johnny after Crystal sends his minions on their trail. Landing first in the swimming pool river, they escape the security guards and infiltrate the studio during the evening, still determined to make the musical spectacle even under Crystal's nose. Buster gives the starring role back to Rosita while he gives the green alien role to the returned Porsha.
Buster puts on "Out of This World", with Johnny getting his father and his gang to perform security while Rosita has Norman release their kids to distract Jimmy's security so they can sneak into the theatre and put on the show. When it comes to their performing act, Rosita is still scared to jump. At the same time, an angry Crystal grabs Buster and attempts to stop the show by throwing him off a tower from the stage, but Rosita, conquering her fear of heights, catches and saves him from falling. This allows her and Gunter to finish their act and perform "Break Free." They watched as Ash and Clay sing "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." The gang then appear on stage and get praised by the audience, but leave when Crystal tries to take the credit only for him to be humiliated by the crowd and get arrested by the cops for his attempted murder of Buster during the show.
With the show finally over and successful, the gang begins the journey back to Calatonia when suddenly, Suki stops their bus to tell them that the Majestic Place wants to produce their show. Once Calloway agrees to continue, everyone else also accepts without hesitation.
