## Chronological Information

### Relationships

Buddy (friend), Cherry (friend), Danny (friend)

## Appearance

Rosie is a young woman that is partial to rockabilly style. Her jean jacket is frayed along the ends and she keeps the sleeves rolled up. Her red shirt is torn and has a sweetheart neckline. She has a yellow cloth tied around her left arm. Her left arm also features a tattoo sleeve that reached just above her elbow. Her black pants tuck into heeled boots. She has short black hair that's fluffed in the front and tied with a red bandana.

## Personality

Rosie is an assertive young woman, willing to get her hands dirty if needed. She's not afraid to start some trouble and fights. However, under her exterior, she can be quite awkward around others, even stumbling over her words at times. Of the three admins, she makes her desire for more friends the most evident, though she clearly tries to play this off. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and will do what's best for them, whether that's assisting in their plans or getting them to calm down before they jump off the deep end.

## Team Buddy

Once Team Buddy is fully established in Unova, Rosie breaks into the Dream Yard and steals some Lucid Mist samples and a Musharna. Unfortunately, she alerts Professor Fennel during her robbery and is later confronted by the Player, who was sent after her by Fennel. She tells off the Player before challenging them to a battle. After losing, she runs off, leaving the Musharna but bringing the Lucid Mist back to the Buddy Building.

Rosie is later found hanging out in the admins' garage at the Buddy Building when the Player arrives to stop the Mist Emitter. She taunts the Player, saying that she'll give them the roof key if they beat her in a battle. Unfortunately for her, she loses and has to give up the key. However, she's much more mellow than her prior loss. Before the Player leaves, Rosie mumbles something about becoming friends with the Player before covering it up. She is present along with the other admins when Buddy makes his escape from his confrontation with the Player. Safe in one of the cars, the four drive off.

She and Cherry team up to stop the Player as they try to stop Team Buddy from using the Jirachi at a crater near Aspertia City. Both Cherry and Rosie are hesitant to stop the Player, as they're having second thoughts about the rapidly escalating plan. However, the two are loyal to their friend and battle the Player to give Buddy more time to awaken Jirachi. Much like Cherry, Rosie is relieved when she loses because that means she has no reason to stop the Player from interfering with Buddy's plans.

After Buddy's defeat, Rosie, Danny, and Cherry burst onto the scene in order to fully stop his plans. The three beg for him to reconsider his plans, as neither brainwashing nor the Jirachi's wish giving powers will truly earn them any friends. Once Buddy finally gives up his plans, the four make their escape from the crater, officially disbanding Team Buddy but reforging the Virbank Slodges.

## *Team Buddy Returns*

Rosie appears at the Virbank Slodges' hangout and is shocked when she sees an advertisement for Neo Team Buddy's Salon in Alola.

## Trivia

* In the "What If I had an Evil Team?" video, Rosie is battled the most out of all out of named Team Buddy members.
* In some concept art of Rosie, she has a tattoo sleeve. The position of her arm makes it difficult to tell that she retains this part of her design; however, the image of the four in Buddy's car proves that she still has the sleeve.
* Rosie's name is a reference to Rosie the Riveter, a character designed to motivate women in the workplace during World War II.
* Mr. Buddy has revealed some info about the Virbank Slodges through some Twitter Posts:
	+ They have Friday movie nights watching cheesy monster movies.
	+ Rosie, Danny, and Cherry have seen Buddy's hair down/un-pomped. The experience is odd for all involved.
