## About Rosetta

Madame Rosetta is the owner of an exclusive burlesque establishment, Madame Rosetta's House, in the Italian town of Forramo.
Originally from a Southern state in the USA, she has lived in Italy for almost 20 years. Theodora meets her at the beginning of the second season while accompanying Antonio Gustini to a show at her House. Rosetta hires her as a waitress, unaware of Theodora's plan to secretly write about her establishment.

Rosetta once was a sex worker with an exclusive client called Alessandro. After she got pregnant, he threatened her and gave her money to get rid of the baby, but she put the abortion off for too long. Not ready to put her dreams of leading a cabaret House on hold to care for a child, Rosetta gave baby Valentina to a friend and left, cutting off all ties with her past. She eventually met sex worker Sofia and helped her to get away from her pimp and dealer. She taught the young girl to perform and they started dating, but after a while Sofia realized that Rosetta doesn't really love her but values the comfort of their relationship.

After both of them moved to Forramo, Rosetta finally bought a suitable building to fulfill her dreams of managing her own House, but the remodeling turned out to be too expensive and she decided to get a loan from Raul Fasetti, a member of the Italian mafia. She hired more performers and used her experience as a former Burlesque dancer to guide and teach them. As time went on, Rosetta became more and more cold, unkind and indifferent toward Sofia and the rest of the staff , investing all her time and efforts in the House. People see her as a strict leader who isn't very generous when it comes praising her employees. She's smart, driven and very devoted to her business, placing it above social relationships.

While Theodora works undercover at the House, she slowly starts to take over more and more tasks for Rosetta. When important documents get stolen, Madame shows great concern and asks Theodora to help investigating. As it turns out, burlesque performer Charlotte plans to use the documnets to ruin Rosetta's life; she admits to being Madame's daughter who grew up with Rosetta's friend and had to watch her die because they couldn't affort medical treatment. Finding out about the wealth her birth mother possesses, Charlotte/Valentina swore to destroy everything Rosetta worked so hard to build. To achieve that, she wants to use the papers which prove Rosetta actually killed a man for the mafia. Depending on the player, Charlotte goes through with her plan or decides to reconcile with her mother.

## Possible endings

Your choices at the end of the second season will influence the fate of Rosetta and her House after a demon sets the establishment on fire.

* Rosetta might be alive, alive but hurt, or dead.
* If Rosetta is alive, she might be unavailable for comment (and Theodora guesses she is at the police station) or she might have given a statement that she has decided to take a business partner going forward (and Theodora guesses she decided to work alongside Charlotte).
* Madame's House is either burned to the ground, or was miraculously saved. The newspaper might have a quote from Rosetta saying refurbishment work will begin quickly. Later, Theodora finds out that the House shut down in 1970 and has been used as a museum ever since.
