Rosetta

**Rosetta** is one of the main characters from the Disney Fairies franchise.

## Background

### Personality

Rosetta is a garden-talented fairy who is gentle and well mannered but also has a quick wit and a handful of charm. Rosetta shares a sassy streak with Tinker Bell, and always tries to look her best and loves giving beauty tips and makeovers to her friends, flowers, and animals. She is girly and speaks with a Southern accent. She is close friends with Fawn and Silvermist. She is the main protagonist in Tinker Bell and the Pixie Hollow Games and serves as the tritagonist in Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, and Secret of the Wings.

Fairies never age, of course, but since Rosetta arrived in Pixie Hollow before most of her friends, she is presumed to be a little wiser than the others. It is revealed in Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue that she dislikes mud, despite being a garden fairy. She tends to become guilty of judging a book by its cover. In The Pirate Fairy, Rosetta temporarily becomes an animal fairy, much to her dismay.

### Physical Appearance

Rosetta has red wavy longer-length hair, green eyes, red lips and fair skin. She wears pink or red dresses that resemble flower petals.

## Film Appearances

### Tinker Bell

As the other fairies and sparrow men, Rosetta was introduced at Tinker Bell's arrival. Rosetta, Iridessa, Fawn, and Silvermist first befriend Tinker Bell after the fairy accidentally crashes her mouse-bound cart as a result of a Sprinting Thistle attack. After comforting the tinker, Clank and Bobble arrive with new supplies for the fairies forthcoming trip to the Main Land. Rosetta and the others showcase their magnificent abilities by testing out the new supplies, leaving Tinker Bell at admiration. This gives the tinker the appeal to go to the mainland, but tinker fairies are banned to go as there is no reason.

In an attempt to travel to the mainland, Tink decides to switch her talent, something that has never been done before. She goes to Rosetta and the others for help, but the friends feel Tinker Bell should accept her destiny. However, like her friends, Rosetta decides to help, and an array of other tests occurs. Despite the effort, all the attempts fail. After a while, Rosetta and her friends witness Tink repair a music box, proving her talent is correct. Even so, Tink still wants to change her talent and goes to the evil Vidia as a final result. Vidia tricks the tinker into trying to round up the Sprinting Thistles, which ends up destroying Pixie Hollow's preparations for spring.

Tinker Bell creates new ways to repair things after having a talk with Terence. He makes her realize that being a tinker is what she's destined to become. Rosetta stands by Tink's side and uses her inventions, and spring is finally free. At the end, Rosetta and the others travel to the mainland as planned, having Tinker Bell, Clank, and Bobble tag along to return the repaired music box to its rightful owner.

### Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

Rosetta plays a smaller role in the sequel. She is first seen with other garden fairies continuing with her real duties. Later on, Rosetta is taking a flight with Iridessa and Silvermist when Tinker Bell appears and asks for their doses of pixie dust. Unfortunately for Tink, Rosetta and the others need their pixie dust to travel to the mainland. Rosetta is lastly seen during the end when the fairies celebrate the arrival of the blue harvest moon.

### Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

Summer has arrived and many of Pixie Hollow's fairies and sparrow men have travelled to the mainland to attend fairy camp. Rosetta also attends, flying there with Tink, Silvermist, Iridessa, and Fawn. After a while, Vidia reveals the presence of humans to Tink in an attempt to keep her away. Tink becomes infatuated, but Iridessa and Rosetta try to explain that humans are dangerous. Later on, Rosetta and the others learn that Tinker Bell has been captured by a human girl named Lizzy. Vidia then leads an expedition to rescue her.

Along the way, the fairies are forced to cross a muddy river. While the river is not too deep, Rosetta is hesitant to cross, revealing her fear of mud (while revealing the irony as she's a Garden Fairy). Eventually, the adventure leads them to Lizzy's house, but Vidia is captured by Lizzy's father and taken to London for research. Rosetta and the others go after them granting pixie dust on Lizzy so they can fly to her father, as they cannot fly in the rain. When they finally do approach Lizzy's father, the young girl convinces her father to rethink his actions. Vidia is freed, and the fairies have a picnic with Lizzy and her father to celebrate.

In this film, Rosetta develops a fussier, mud-hating personality that defines the character in the upcoming animation work.

### Secret of the Wings

On an ordinary day, Rosetta is blooming flowers while Tinker Bell and Fawn are helping animals cross the border to the Winter Woods. Later on, after Tinker Bell crossed the border and froze her wings, Rosetta, Iridessa, and Silvermist rush to the doctor to pick up Tink. Tink then decides to tell her friends that her wings began to glow after she crossed. However, Rosetta finds the claims to be eccentric and fears that Tink needs to be examined by the healing fairies again. Even so, Tinker Bell crosses once more and meets her sister Periwinkle. To have Periwinkle visit the warm regions of Pixie Hollow, Tink plans on creating a snowmaking machine. Clank gathers Rosetta and the others to begin work on said machine.

The next day, Tink's friends begin "Operation: Periwinkle" where they showcase their unique talents for the frost fairy. Rosetta blossoms an entire flower field for the first fairy and gives her a periwinkle flower as a gift. Periwinkle then preserved the flower in a frost blanket to not die when she travels back to the Winter Woods. Periwinkle suddenly becomes weak, and her wings begin to decay. Rosetta and the others rush her across the border, and the ruler of the Winter Woods, Lord Milori, forbids Tink and Peri from seeing one another again. Overnight, the snowmaker machine began to freeze parts of Pixie Hollow, thus throwing off the seasons.

Rosetta and the others evacuate to the Pixie Dust Tree as shelter. However, the Pixie Dust Tree is also in danger of being destroyed, but Tink thinks of a way to save it. If Peri and the frost fairies can preserve the tree, like she did the flower, Pixie Hollow would be saved. While Rosetta and the others take cover inside one of the Pixie Dust Tree's hollows, Peri and the others preserve it.

When the ice melts, the pixie dust returns, and all is well. The warm fairies are then allowed to cross the border to the Woods.

### The Pirate Fairy

Rosetta appears in the fifth film, where she and her friends magically switch talents. Rosetta becomes an animal fairy, much to her dismay, and becomes the mother of a baby crocodile. Worse, Fawn (who became a light fairy) accidentally fires the part of her hair off, though Rosetta is unaware of this until the end.

### Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast

Iridessa appears in the sixth Tinker Bell film along with the other fairies.

### Short Films

#### Pixie Hollow Games

Rosetta is the main focus of the television special. Here, the Pixie Hollow Games have arrived and Rosetta is chosen to represent the garden-talented fairies along with a newcomer named Chloe. Unlike Chloe, Rosetta is fully aware of the garden fairies' position of not winning the games (or even coming close to winning). Chloe scoffs at that position and is still determined to break the streak. Rosetta's pride is emphasized once again, as her refusal to get dirty or be athletic has her avoiding "Pixie Hollow Games" duty every single year until the garden-talents combine forces in order to force her to play. Now teaming up along with the eager newly-arrived fairy Chloe, Rosetta is upset about the situation and fails horribly.

In the first competition, Rosetta shows up in a beautiful dress, wanting to look good despite looking bad. However, the healing-talented fairies could not finish the competition, allowing Rosetta and Chloe to move forward. When she sees how much winning means to Chloe, Rosetta usually makes a real attempt at winning. Throughout the next challenges, the garden fairies usually get through, but when it comes to a slide of slug slime, Rosetta's fear of getting dirty gets the best of her, knocking her team to the final place. At the final competition, Rosetta decides to brush her fear of dirt off, and the team successfully wins the games, finally breaking the losing streak.

In this story, Rosetta adds in the hard work, gives up constantly looking fashionable, and usually gets dirty. Showing more sides to her, she is guilt-ridden for adding the garden talents in the last place after avoiding the slug-slime slide. Ultimately, her clever thinking and inventiveness give the garden-talents their first-ever trophy in the Games.

## Disney Parks

A topiary of Rosetta was featured during the Epcot Flower and Garden International Festival. In the Spring of 2010, Rosetta was featured in Fairies Primavera at Tokyo DisneySea.

She used to greet guests at Disneyland until the discontinuation of the Disney Fairies franchise. As a result of this, Rosetta is not meeting in the Disney Parks, and thus, is a retired character.
