**Rosalina** is a recurring character who debuted in *Super Mario Galaxy*, first appearing in the Gateway Galaxy. She is a very powerful figure, as her duty is to watch over and protect the cosmos, while also serving as the adopted mother of the Lumas and commanding the Comet Observatory.

Rosalina's backstory is chronicled in her storybook told by herself in the Comet Observatory's Library in *Super Mario Galaxy*. Nine chapters are unlocked throughout the game, and the last is unlocked by completing the game.

Her defining traits are her tall height, her reserved personality, and a wide array of otherworldly abilities.

Rosalina was first introduced in the **Tokyo Tour** on October 9th 2019. She is a super driver with a cost of 9,000 coins in the shop. She has her own kart named after her, the Birthday Girl Rosalina. **Baby Rosalina** however, is a normal driver with the cost of 500 coins in the shop. Rosalina was in the 'Rosalina Pack' consisting of herself, 45 rubies and 5 star tickets. She was the week two spotlight along with Waluigi (Bus Driver) in the Baby Rosalina Tour. She was the gold pass gift for the Marine Tour as well as the 1st Anniversary Tour with Daisy. During the Exploration Tour, Rosalina was available in the Heavy Hitters Pipe. During the Winter Tour 2020, Rosalina was an item available for purchase in the Tier Shop.

## Bio

### Appearance

Rosalina appears as a tall, youthful woman who bears a small resemblance to Princess Peach, especially regarding her body type and facial features. However, her eyes are turquoise with six brown eyelashes, her lips and hair are a lighter-color than Peach. Her storybook in Super Mario Galaxy implies she could have had red hair as a young girl, (despite Baby Rosalina's hair being platinum blonde like her adult counterpart.) She has a large bang obscuring her right eye. She appears taller than most human characters, only surpassed by Waluigi, but she can also become much larger, as shown by the ending to Super Mario Galaxy, where Mario is shown to be roughly the size of her hand.

Rosalina wears an aqua floor-length dress which bares her shoulders, where a powder-blue flap loops around, and has long flared sleeves, topped with powder-blue frills. At the bottom is another powder-blue frill that loops around until turning up to a point at the middle. She has a star-shaped silver brooch with a round gold gem, a silver crown with an engraved star pattern and pink and blue gems, large, golden star-shaped earrings and silver high heels. She also wears purple nail-polish on her fingernails. In almost all of her appearances, she carries a thin, silver wand with a golden star at the top.

### Personality

In both the Super Mario Galaxy games, Rosalina was show to be generally wise, kind, and mature character. She has an intimate knowledge of the universe and cares deeply for the Lumas and her friends, to the point of assuming the role of mother figure for the former. Rosalina is shown to be calm and reserved, and often takes pauses when she explains how the universe works. Her voice is rather monotone, even when she is excited.

Since **Mario Kart Wii**, however, Rosalina had been portrayed as a little bit more upbeat and joyous than her original stoic portrayal, with examples being that Rosalina cheers and shouts louder, though still mostly keeping her introverted nature. Like most players, Rosalina enjoys special activities, but in a more humble manner, such as when she simply waves to the audience upon scoring a point in the Mario Tennis series. Since **Super Mario 3D World**, Rosalina has also displayed more energy in her actions, such as when celebrating after reaching the flagpole in said game.
