Rosy Dreams

**Rosy Dreams** is a young filly who was rescued by the Terran Princes from an extremely abusive situation, and a Princess of the Terran Empire by adoption.

## Appearance

Rosy Dreams is a young Earth Pony filly with a bright pink pelt and a rose-red mane and tail. Due to years of isolation, she's rather small and underdeveloped for her age from a lack of proper food. Only after being adopted by Prince Bright Eyes and and getting the nutrition she needed did she start growing by normal standards. She has dark circles forming under her eyes from insomnia, which she is recovering from. Ironically, despite her abusive past, her Cutie Mark depicts a foal sleeping peacefully on a cloud adorned with roses.

## Relationships

### "Mr. Penguin"

"Mr. Penguin" is Rosy's paternal uncle, and they had a loving relationship. Due to being a global-trotter, he only sees Rosy periodically, which partially led to him being ignorant of her father's sexual abuse until much later. When "Mr. Penguin" started to suspect something going on, "Mr. Boar" prevented him from doing anything about it by lulling his brother into a false sense of security before beheading him in a most gruesome fashion. "Mr. Boar" was unaware that Rosy secretly witnessed her uncle's death.

As indicated by his niece's nickname for him, "Mr. Penguin" appears in her dream world as a sapient penguin. However, his violent death in the real world led to Rosy developing trauma and guilt over not preventing it. This manifested in Rosy's dream world as a horrific afterimage depicting a beheaded stallion whenever Rosy won the games "Mr. Penguin" proposed. Fortunately, both the presence of Mentálne and Grief would help her overcome her survivor's guilt, allowing Rosy to gain closure from reconciling with her uncle's spirit.

### "Ms. Fox"

The full extent of the relationship between Rosy and "Ms. Fox" is not known, but Rosy presumably loved and trusted her. Due to Rosy's isolation, "Ms. Fox" was one of few people allowed by her father to see her, as she worked as Rosy's tutor. However, like "Mr. Penguin" before her, she, too, suspected that her student was being sexually abused and later saw evidence of it. "Mr. Boar" killed her by taking out her eyes, and witnessing her death in secret traumatized Rosy.

However, her violent death in the real world led to Rosy developing trauma and guilt over not preventing it. This manifested in Rosy's dream world as a horrific afterimage depicting a older mare with missing eyes whenever Rosy won the games "Ms. Fox" proposed. Fortunately, both the presence of Mentálne and Grief would help her overcome her survivor's guilt, allowing Rosy to gain closure from reconciling with her tutor's spirit.

### "Ms. Bunny"

The full extent of the relationship between Rosy and "Ms. Bunny" is not known, but Rosy presumably loved and trusted her. Due to Rosy's isolation, "Ms. Bunny" was one of few people allowed by her father to see her, as she worked as Rosy's maid. However, like "Mr. Penguin" before her, she, too, suspected that her student was being sexually abused and later saw evidence of it. "Mr. Boar" killed her by taking out her eyes, and witnessing her death in secret traumatized Rosy.

And as indicated by Rosy's nickname for her, "Ms. Bunny" appeared in Rosy's dream world as a sapient rabbit. However, her violent death in the real world led to Rosy developing trauma and guilt over not preventing it. This manifested in Rosy's dream world as a horrific afterimage depicting a younger mare falling from a high place whenever Rosy won the games "Ms. Bunny" proposed. Fortunately, both the presence of Mentálne and Grief would help her overcome her survivor's guilt, allowing Rosy to gain closure from reconciling with her maid's spirit.

### Prince Crimson Star

Crimson Star is one of Rosy's many adoptive uncles, though they love each other like family. After Rosy was rescued from her abusive father by Bright Eyes and Written Word, Crimson Star helped his two brothers psychically enter the filly's mind on Night Shade's suggestion that they bring her out of her coma that way. Crimson Star would continue to help his adoptive niece as she recovered from her abusive past, tutoring Rosy on using/controlling her newly-emerged psychic powers, and helping Mentálne and his psychically-inclined brothers rebuild Rosy's dream world so they can purge it of her biological father's malicious influence.

### Prince Forging Scale

Forging Scale is one of Rosy's many adoptive uncles, and they shared a loving familial bond as if they're related biologically. Due to (supposedly) embodying his father's compassion, Forging Scale has been extremely kind and understanding towards Rosy and her situation, which partially helped her recovery after she was rescued. When Rosy requested that she be given a seed as a reward for doing her chores, Forging Scale gave her a big hug instead due to seeds being associated with her abusive past.

### Mercy

Rosy is very close to Mercy. Despite being a sentient divine sword and Rosy's adoptive cousin through Red Blade, Mercy appointed herself as Rosy's "big sister" after learning of her sexual abuse so she could support the filly and protect Rosy from those who try to harm her. As a result, Rosy is almost always seen by Mercy's side, and she would play and talk with her once her social skills got better. They also bonded over art after Rosy showed her talent for it, which was encouraged by Bright Eyes, and she and Mercy are often found drawing together when not playing. In one incident, Mercy protected Rosy from an Earth pony tribalist by falling on top of her and using her own weight to pin the attacker to the ground until her adoptive uncles arrived with proper authorities.

## Trivia

* Rosy Dreams is based on Mary from the game *Dreaming Mary*. Like Mary, Rosy Dreams frequents a blissful and pink dream world full of friendly, talking animals, but in the real world, she lives in isolation with her father and is also sexually abused by him. Both Rosy and Mary are associated with lily flowers, whose petals they must exchange with their animal friends for seeds. And like Mary in the real world, Rosy's sexual abuse left her with severe trauma. But unlike Mary, Rosy would escape her situation thanks to the Terran Royal Family, and recover from her abuse.
