Rosie

**Rosie** is a supporting character in the *Divine Comedy*.

She is a cannibalistic Overlord, owner of the Red Emporium in Sin City, and the ruler of Cannibal Colony in the Gluttony Circle. A sophisticated, graceful, and charismatic sinner with a craving for the flesh of other demons, she governs over an army of cannibalistic demons who serve her every whim.

## Appearance

Rosie is a slender demon with pale white skin, sharp white teeth and a really long neck. She sports short white hair, though it could be tied up under her hat and, similar to Alastor, is always smiling.

Rosie's attire typically consists of fashion that originated from the mid to late 1800s particularly during the Victorian era. She wears a red dress with gray shoulder pads, a black belt, and black wrists. Her red sun hat has two skulls and three black flowers on the front side, with a large red and black plume on the top side.

## History

### Background

Rosie was born as Rosie Lalonde in Victorian era London. Though she never fully disclosed her origins she mentions that she was among the middle-class that climbed through the ranks of socialism by ridding society of high-class citizens that "no one will miss". This indicates that Rosie slithered her way into the elites' high society before outright killing them by devouring them. She further goes on to say that she had lost her taste for "wayward witless paupers" as they carried all sorts of diseases during the dark years of the Victorian era and focused on the elites themselves whom to her resembled "red lobster, buttered up with wine reduction" in her own words.

Rosie would also take several babysitting jobs and was (surprisingly) often praised for her competence and capabilities in caring for children and disciplining them into adopting good behavior. In regards to her death, this was never fully brought to light by Rosie herself or her associates. But according to one of her followers, she developed a disdain towards her handmaidens implying that her maids may have had a hand in her death.

### In Hell

Nonetheless, after being damned to Hell and condemned to the Circle of Gluttony, she would slowly rebuild the power she once had in life, growing in the ranks of Hell's hierarchy and reaching the status of an Overlord. Her influence even led her to run her own community in the Gluttony Circle which came to be known as the Cannibal Colony, a haven for sinners and demons that indulged in cannibalism. She would also become a vassal for the Gluttony Circle under Beelzebub and Naamah's service.

During her time in Hell, she met and became acquainted with the likes of Alastor, Wilfred, and Mephisto in that order, developing a close friendship with all three of them. Rosie would join the Rat Pack in committing various acts of mischief and chaotic whimsy throughout Hell and has aided the boys on several occasions, the latest of which is their involvement with Hotel Purgatory.
