## Background

Rosetta was considered a prodigy, and even as a girl had a deep desire to uncover both the secrets of magic and the true history of Mewni. She dedicated her life to her research and traveled throughout all of Mewni, collecting artifacts, books, and various other items. Her studies also led her down the path of dark magic, and studies around the soul.

Eventually her thirst of knowledge led her to come across Typhon, who she was eager to study and learn from. She continued to come back and visit him regularly, and eventually the two began a relationship with led to marriage and the birth of their son, Asterossa Butterfly.

She kept up appearances as best she could, but soon thought it too dangerous for Astro to stay in Mewni. She decided to take him to Earth in an attempt to keep him away from the Magical High Commission. Unfortunately they managed to track her down, and while she managed to hide him away, the ensuing battle led to the loss of her life.

## Personality

Rosetta has a very playful and mischievous attitude. She often enjoys playfully teasing those around her. She is very inquisitive by nature, and tends to ask a lot of personal questions, especially towards those from cultures or places she doesn't have much info on. She loved gaining knowledge, and kept a vast collection on various subjects. She was rather kind and polite towards most, but could become very threatening if given a reason to be.

She was a genius, and incredibly skilled in both magic and combat. She does have some questionable morals, and isn't above using her enemies as test subjects. She also was rumored to somehow collect the souls of those she defeated in battle. Her ability to use dark magic without any of the typical backlashes led many to believe she was up to something incredibly suspicious, and when questioned on it she always gave a vague and hollow response.

At times she could come off as a bit condescending, as she was often the smartest person in the room. Though it wasn't intentional she was never shy about acknowledging her talents. She often was at odds with the Magical High Commission, as they were weary of her research and dealing with dark magic. Most saw her as an incredible and friendly person, though her enemies and those who weren't close to her were absolutely terrified of her reputation.

## Relationships

### Typhon

Her initial interest in Typhon was little more than research. She asked him about how things were doing his time, and studied his biology. But the more she visited the closer the two grew to one another, and eventually they fell in love. Rosetta enjoyed his laid back and goofy nature, and considered him the only thing worth settling down for.

### Astro Butterfly

She cared for Astro deeply, and was more than willing to put her life on the line for him. As an infant she had been the only one able to really reign him in. She kept notes on him and left numerous spells behind he not uses. She also left him her scythe Black Bane, and put a spell over it so that only he could use it.

### Star Butterfly

She had a sisterly relationship with Star, and really only worked with the kingdom because of her. Rosetta helped her in bridging the gap between monsters and mewmans, working with some of the smaller tribes as she traveled to collect more information on them. Though Star was worried about some of the rumors surrounding her, and trusted her and as one of her closest friends and often got her opinion on things.

### Eclipsa Butterfly

The two shared notes on dark magic with one another, though Eclipsa never really found out how she managed to use it without suffering the side effects. Rosetta trusted her enough to tell her about Typhon and Astro when he was born. She was the one who married her and Typhon.

### Meteora

She treated Meteora as a younger sister, and found her fascinating because of her parentage. She would sometimes tutor the girl in magic, and even brought her along to meet Typhon a few times.

## Trivia

* Being a descendant of Jushtin Butterfly, Rosetta was one of the last trueborn Butterfly’s and (after Eclipsa and Meteora forfeited their claim to the throne) the true heir to the Butterfly Kingdom. She passed up the title, preferring to focus on her research instead.
* Because of her dabbling in Dark magic, the High Commission would regularly send spies to keep tabs on her. The first few went missing, never to be seen again. The last was found with a rather cryptic warning attached to the body…
* Back in the day, Rasticore was once sent to assassinate Rosetta. He ended up losing his eye for a *second* time and decided to retire after she spared him. When she heard he was leading the septarian tribe she stopped by to visit and congratulate him for getting a fresh start (and record data on septarians and their culture).
* Rosetta’s scythe, Black Bane, was crafted somewhere on Earth. It possessed similar properties to the wand, though on a much smaller scale. Some spell seems to keep all but a certain few people from even wielding it. Astro can, but chooses not to.
* It was said that Rosetta would somehow reap the souls of her opponents. Whether this is true and what she even used them for is unknown, but Tom has never seen anyone she’s slain in the underworld.
* At her death, Rosetta placed a powerful spell over Astro so the MHC *literally* couldn’t touch him. Any physical contact made and the spell will kick in and blast them back. This was a usually a spell she kept placed on herself, and on a much smaller scale, to avoid being sneak attacked by an enemy.
* Rosetta’s body was never found…
