Rose Valencia

**Rose Valencia** is one of the most important supporting characters, and can be considered one of the two deuteragonist. She is the 17th generation legitimate successor of the secret art, Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style, and bounty hunter.

## Appearance

Rose is a beautiful and dignified fifteen-year-old young girl with a slender build and red eyes; she also has beautiful silver hair mixed with pink, extending to her back.

She has a sakura blossom patterns emerging from her left breast.

Her initial and main clothing is a black-themed outfit with red accents, a a number of black straps, a shirt with long sleeves and zippers, revealing her shoulders, and portions of her stomach and the bottom of her chest, a pair of brown gloves revealing her index finger and thumb; a pair of short low-rise shorts, with a brown belt and silver buckles, long black socks, and black boots with black straps.

After transferring into the Thousand Blade Academy, Rose also receives the school uniform, which acts as her main outfit from time to time.

## Personality

Despite being hailed as a genius, Rose doesn't show the same arrogance or cockiness as others, instead being seen as a kind and calm woman popular around her hometown. She has a strong believe in hard work whenever it comes to swordsmanship, not looking down on Allen, who uses a self-taught form, and could even tell that he'd put in immense dedication into learning it. Preferring to remain calm and patient, it is rare to see Rose losing her temper in a situation, often being the one who gives calm thoughts in her group. She also has a strong sense of right and wrong, doing whatever it takes to defend the innocent and do the right thing.

Underneath her cool and calm exterior, she does have a burning fighting spirit and a competitive streak, which is often shown during her interactions with Allen and Ria. A notable weakness of hers is being unable to wake up in the morning, being somewhat sluggish in classes until she completely wakes up. After meeting No. 18, she held a good deal of distaste when it came to the peeping tom who peeped on women her age.

She can also be standoffish when it comes to people she doesn't know, but being close and caring toward all her friends like Allen and Ria. No matter the situation, she would do whatever it takes to defend the people she cares for even if it would put her life in danger, which is further shown as she and the others went to another region to rescue the Student Council President from her forced engagement.

Similar to Ria and other women, Rose has developed strong feelings for Allen, often acting out of character when she receives praise from him.
