## Biography

As a young child, Rosalina found a sad small star nearby a rusted spaceship. Rosalina asked its name, it introduced itself to be Luma. Its mother was coming for it via a comet. Rosalina borrowed a telescope to seek what was coming at nightfall, and for years, she did not see its mother. She knew she would be an old lady by the time she was finished searching if she stayed in the same place, so she suggested to search for the Luma's mother in a more proactive fashion. They departed from Earth on the Starshroom to continue their search.

While looking for Luma's mother, Luma allowed Rosalina to taste Star Bits for the first time, among other experiences the two shared. Rosalina and Luma found a comet but could not find Luma's mother. Rosalina and Luma rode on the turquoise comet and continued their quest. Rosalina told Luma that she will take care of him. The duo built their home on a solitary planet. Rosalina and Luma spotted an apricot planet one day, from which the other Lumas appeared and joined the duo.

Rosalina remembered using her father's telescope. She focused the telescope's lens to view the hill. When the hill reminded her about her family moments, she cried and was desperate to return home. Luma consoled her and transformed into a Comet Observatory that would forever carry their friends on their journey, in order to alleviate Rosalina's wishes. Rosalina and the Lumas reunited as a family, and Rosalina then made it her mission in life to protect these star people whom she do greatly loves, while also becoming the guardian of the universe. Since Rosalina still held an attachment to her home planet, Rosalina decided to visit Earth once every one hundred years, which eventually caused the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom celebrate the arrival of the comet, which is really the Comet Observatory, when it visited Earth once every century, calling the event the Starbit Festival.

## Behind the Scenes

### Creation and development

During an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto stated about the ritual kidnapping of Princess Peach. He was also thinking of a cast of characters, one of them was a princess with a family of talking stars. Yoshiaki Koizumi was planned for Rosalina to be related to Peach, but she was changed to be unrelated.

Rosalina's early concept art showed her with beehive-styled hair and a light blue dress similar to Princess Peach and Princess Daisy.

## 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.
