Rosalina

**Rosalina**(ロゼッタRozetta, **Rosetta**) is a character that first appeared in *Super Mario Galaxy*, but has become a somewhat recurring character since then, especially in spin-off titles. She lives on the Comet Observatory with her adopted children, the Lumas.

She is seen as a type of sorceress, with great power. Her sole duty is to watch over and guard the universe, the Mushroom World and protect her Lumas. Rosalina's back-story is described in her story book, which is found in the Comet Observatory's Library in *Super Mario Galaxy*.

Nine chapters can be unlocked throughout the game, and the final one can be unlocked by completing the game.

## Appearance

Rosalina has a very similar appearance to Peach, other than resembling her. Like most other human Mario characters Rosalina has blue eyes, though hers are more cyan in color. Only her left eye is visible from a directly frontal view as her particularly large bang of her hair hides her right eye. She has peach-colored defined lips, and long platinum-blonde hair that reaches to her waist.

Her primary outfit consists of a turquoise long-sleeved gown that bares her shoulders, along with a silver crown with four gems on it, a sliver star-shaped brooch, gold star-shaped earrings, and silver high heels. She notably appears in this outfit when playing golf.

Like Peach and Daisy, she has a biker suit when riding bikes or ATVs in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8. Hers is primarily white and teal, to differentiate hers from those of Peach and Daisy.

Her primary sports outfit is akin to the sporty minidresses of Peach and Daisy (though, again, teal), but with what appears to be white leggings instead of the other two girls' socks.

Her swimwear (as seen in the fifth Mario and Sonic game) is based on those of Peach and Daisy (though teal again), but tweaked, along with sleeves to resemble her usual dress.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Magic**: Rosalina is extremely skilled in the use of magic.
	+ **Force Field Generation**: Rosalina can create force fields. She can surround the Comet Observatory with a huge force field, transforming it into a starship as a form of transportation. Also, if Mario attempts to jump on Rosalina, a force field would appear and protect her.
	+ **Levitation**: Like the Lumas, Rosalina can also levitate herself in the air.
	+ **Teleport:** Rosalina has shown the ability to teleport, at least from Earth to Space.
	+ **Telepathy:** When Mario wakes up in the Mushroom Kingdom after the Lumas throw themselves into the black hole that Bowser's collapsing galaxy created, Rosalina speaks to Mario via telepathy, telling him that all life carries the essence of stars, even himself.
	+ **Hologram-like Projections**: Rosalina has shown the ability to create hologram-like projections of herself in *Super Mario Galaxy 2*, when she encounters Mario, after Mario defeats Bowser.

## TMNT X Pokemon

Rosalina will appear in Season 4 when the Heroes and the Villains crashed landed into a planet and her Lumas took them to the Observatory. She's very caring towards them and decided to help them on their quest to retrieve the Heart of Darkness pieces.

## Trivia

* Rosalina's storybook in *Super Mario Galaxy* is likely the story of how her Lumas, the observatory, and her powers were created.
* Rosalina's original design looked like the kind of dresses Peach and Daisy wear, but they changed it to be more "loose-flowing."
* 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 the tall, skinny-as-a-beanpole 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 don't have this designation because the Mario Kart games and Mario Party series aren't official sports games, though Mario Kart may be close to it).
* In the fanmade The 3 Little Princesses comic book, Rosalina is revealed that she has a dilated pupil behind her hair bang (which may be the direct cause of it). However this is non-cannon.
* If Rosalina's dress were more like the one Peach wore in Super Mario Sunshine, it would likely be strapless since the normal version exposes her shoulders.
* Rosalina's Fire form has her put her hair in a ponytail like Peach does in sports games, the only time a female other than Peach does so. Notably, her bang still covers her right eye.
* During an interview with Yoshiaki Koizumi (Director of *Super Mario Galaxy*, 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 her mother, who resembles Peach in a blue dress.
