Her second outfit is a black fashionable sleeveless jumpsuit with a dark gray long sleeve mesh shirt with flower and fish intricate designs. Her black jumpsuit is fastened with a gold belt and black sandals.

## Personality

Rose displays both her sadness and upset and is somewhat depressed. She remained happy when her daughter is doing her best to help her ease up her sadness and pain. Therefore, she shows her dislike when the player investigates about her involvement in the Secret Palace and forbade her from investigating. Her actions also caused a massive fall out between them before the player moves away and this will be the reason why she remains upset. She does not express her emotions when the player is talking about romance only to show her happy and excitement when she reminisces her daughter's childhood much to her annoyance and is seemingly confident in wanting to know what person the player tries to tell her due to her motherly streak.

It is also revealed in the player's flashback that dates back three weeks ago, Rose was shown to be confrontational and ill-tempered upon learning to see the player is dressing up in her maid uniform which also reveals her former occupation as a chamber maid which she furiously forbids her to never touch all of her things as well as she angrily throws the maid uniform away, displaying her emotional breakdown had caused so much pain which would mean that something happened to her during her previous work in the Secret Palace and the incident was covered up by Henry Oswald-Descieux, the manager of the hotel.

In Chapter 3, upon mentioning her previous work at Secret Palace, she violently snaps when she accidentally chops her thumb to cut the roast beef, forming a cut on her thumb which led her to clean her freshly wound. According to her friend, Nadia Palmer, Rose had suddenly resigned from her post as a chamber maid because of the similar mistreatment coming from the higher officials in Secret Palace, stating that the managers of the same hotel are atrocious which led her to snap in rage.

However in Chapter 4, it was George who knew the incident since he had worked so long as a caretaker of the hotel and it's riding center and just like the player after her, she enjoys working at this hotel but her behavior had immediately changed following her sudden firing at the hotel she had currently worked for.

Since from the beginning, Rose is also gullible over her daughter's lies whenever she kept asking about her current jobs such as the waitress in the diner or a barista in a coffee shop, unaware that she was currently working as a concierge in the same hotel where she was illegally fired. In Chapter 6, this reveals to her illegal firing by George where she was framed of jewelry theft and someone from Secret Palace is trying to tarnish her job by putting one of Ivana's expensive jewelry without being monitored in the CCTV cameras as the recordings of the incident have gone missing.

It is revealed that Rose was fired on the spot by Henry by getting framed from stealing which resulted in her change of behavior because of depression and now he also did the same gesture to her daughter at the end of Chapter 8, who is also getting framed from stealing after he caught his son James being with her in their current relationship. In Chapter 9, it is revealed that Rose had a relationship with Henry in 2002 and because of the horrible mistreatment and corruption happening in Secret Palace which led Rose getting depressed and has suicidal tendencies which she attempting to take drug overdose using sleeping pills only to be found by Henry and immediately takes her to Blue Swan Hospital for treatment. In Chapter 10, Rose finally admits to her daughter in how she tried to commit suicide from drug overdose and crying emotionally. She also became a conspiracy victim according to Margaret because she was Henry's accomplice on framing her into stealing Ivana's expensive jewelry. At the end of Chapter 10, it is revealed that Rose was physically abused by Henry as he brutally pushed her to his safe within his office while being bound by ropes, and her physical trauma and abuse at Henry's hands leads her to attempt to commit suicide due to depression. This evidence was held on a DVD and it was kept by George. In the final chapter of the story and according to Henry, the video taken in the DVD is not a physical assault on her but it was their brutal make love sessions between them which reveals her relationship with him and it was Ivana who had ruined her life over the years because of her relationship with Henry after learning that he had been cheating on her. Rose's relationship with Henry is just like how her daughter's current relationship with James and history had repeated itself as her relationship with Henry was just ruined by Ivana and her manipulations to her husband, which led to her current state. After learning of the player's lies following Ivana's arrests for her crimes she made to both of them, Rose displays both her anger and stubborn and not to listening to her daughter's explanations which leaves her being cold hearted to her daughter while walking away. Not until the player forgives her for her lies in both good and bad endings which she also forgives her for her actions. At the canonical good ending shows Rose her liking to James after revealing that it was him who convinced her to watch the player perform her drama acting, finally overcome her depression and seemingly teases and joking towards her daughter about marrying him but she corrects her that they are still a couple. Rose also accepting James as her daughter's boyfriend due to their current relationship had repeated similarly to her previous relationship with Henry. She is later comes out of depression and reconnecting her former close friends such as Henry giving her a letter of apology for Ivana's horrible deeds and his mistreatment given to her due to his wife's manipulations and Margaret who wanted to speak to her again.
