## Personality

Rosalina is an energetic, inquisitive, sociable girl that can also be emotional at times. Her curiosity ranges in multiple topics such as animals, fashion, and culture. She is also a great conversationalist, especially with people she meets for the first time such as when Rosalina talks with an originally quiet individual, Zabrina, and easily gets her to converse about herself when the meet at Beacon Academy.

She has several hobbies that she picked up from Whitney such as sewing, crocheting, and video gaming. Her favorite hobby that she loves is drawing since she has a habit to draw a lot of sketches in her notebooks of various objects such as hearts and animals to the point where she sometimes zones out of classes. Rosalina can also be very disorganized with her belongings and her notes since her mind can do a lot at once. Her other hobby includes spending time with her friends while taking care of her light pink canary, Rose, who she brought to Beacon Academy.

Rosalina loves to meet new people, especially Faunus since she loves animals and give them the respect she believes that they deserve. For instance, her respect for them helped her and Turquoise bond, especially after the latter ran away in embarrassment upon revealing her Faunus trait. She is generally honest with other people about everything she says which makes her come across as innocent and naïve to other people but they also see that she is a very trustworthy and good-nature person.

However, since her family spoiled her and getting what she wanted, she is the most childish member of her team. When someone teases her, taunts her, or when a prank goes too far, Rosalina is not a person to make upset since she would throw a temper tantrum like a little girl and very rarely physically hurts the person that hurt her before someone calms her down. For instance, Rosalina did not hesitate to start a fight in one of her classes which led to a fist fight until Quaralia stops her before she unconsciously activates her Semblance. This only happens when her friends or herself are being constantly bullied or beaten up or when a combat situation does not go her way. Most of the time, she restrains herself and instead either runs off to cry after saying a bad insult or to blow off some steam depending on the circumstances. Despite this, she is a very caring individual that cares for her friends and will do what she can to be there for them. She cannot stand for bullies, and she will be there for anyone that needs it such as when she defends Niagara from a couple of Faunus racists.

After the Battle of Beacon, she fell into a reclusive depression for not being able to help her friends and feeling that she wasn’t good enough to be a Huntress. Thanks to her family’s love and attention, she was lifted out of her depression and has mostly reverted back to her normal self while they helped her find ways to control her temper inside and outside of combat. When she reunites with Zabrina, Rosalina becomes more resolute towards finding the rest of her friends along with her team.

## Biography/ History

Rosalina was born and raised in the Vacuo region with her loving parents. Before, she was known as Rosalina Kanara. Her father, Thyme was a hunter that always went out on missions while her mother, Daisy, was a successful writer. Her mother taught her the basic skills of reading, writing, and some mathematics. Her father would always bring back gifts from his missions.

When she was 7, her Aunt Lumi reported that Thyme had died during a mission in another region. She didn't know what really happened but when she realized it a few days later, she was upset. Though when she turned 9, Daisy met and married her stepfather, Sorrel, and she also gained an older stepsister that was 3 years older than her. Her name was Whitnie Mara and from the day they met, they got along very well as if they were real sisters. The new family got along so well that Rosalina changed her name to Rosalina Mara.

Sorrel Mara was very kind and treated Rosalina as her own daughter and he was also a hunter from the Vale region. A few months later, Rosalina and her family had moved into a house in the residential district within Vale. She and Whitnie would usually hear stories of his missions which inspired Rosalina to become a Huntress to save people and bring beauty to the future. On her 11th birthday, her stepfather gave her a pink canary as a present when he returned from a mission in a Vacuo. She called her Rose and she always took great care of her. When she made her wish, it was to become a Huntress.

A year later, Sorrel decided to start giving her lessons in order to protect herself. With each training session, she became stronger physically, although she was a little slow on her feet. Him, along with Whitnie and Aunt Lumi trained her to help her achieve her dream of becoming a Huntress. She also continued her training with them while she attended Signal Academy.

At her time there, she took Rose with her and created her weapons there. When she made her weapon, she used her canary as inspiration to create Soaring Wings. She also learned more hand to hand combat while she attended so she would be able to fight close ranged and improve her speed. Her family was extremely proud of her and Whitnie had also ordered a special outfit for Rosalina to wear as a Huntress. She had obtained the special design from one of Rosalina's favorite places: Diamond Rose Fashions. From that day on, she wore the outfit that her family had gotten her to help advance her dream. After she graduated from Signal, she applied for Beacon and was accepted.

**Timeskip/Battle of Beacon**

While she fought alongside the rest of Team QRTZ, she was separated from Quaralia and Zabrina while her and Turquoise were going after a couple of Ursa Majors that were headed to the safe zone in Vale. While they faced many Grimm, Rosalina had run low on aura from overusing her Semblance to help defend citizens and eventually ran out of aura. Refusing to give up, Rosalina kept fighting until she took a hit meant for Turquoise as an Ursa Major had thrown her back to a wall, breaking her left arm and shoulder from the massive hit and blacking out from it. Luckily, she woke and was bandaged up by Quaralia. Saddened at the fact she that cannot use her left arm, she fell into despair saying that she failed as a Huntress in training. When she asked about Turquoise, Zabrina said that she had left Vale to find Niagara from Team AMZN. Hurt that her friend had left her, Rosalina was even more depressed for the next few days. Once a week passed, she was getting used to doing everything with her right hand with Quar's help. After Quaralia had left to bring Nolana and co back to Vacuo, her parents had arrived in Quaralia’s Store and they had thanked Zabrina for taking care of her before they decided to take her to her Aunt’s house outside of Vale to recover.

After recovering from her injury and spent time with her family in the next few months, she decided to stay with her family to help defend them from the Grimm while improving her skills as a Huntress in training. In this time, she has returned to her normal self, but now is extremely unsure about her skills as a Huntress as she trains with her stepfather. When Zabrina visits her to ask for her help, she decides to head out with her as a part of Team ZRKN and try to find her other friends.

## In Combat

***Weapon:***

Her weapons are a pair of Blade Shooting Grappling Gauntlets(BSGG) named Soaring Wings.

Soaring Wings are a pair of gauntlets that covers the back of her hands to her mid forearms which help protect her when fighting. She can use these as a form of armor when defending against attacks in unarmed combat. These gauntlet have three different forms: blade shooter, grappling hook, and blade modes.

In blade shooter mode, she can fire sharp, metal feathers that launch similar to shotgun shots. They are capable of slicing through glass and capable of injuring Grimm. It holds up to eight metal feathers at one time. In grappling hook mode, she flexes her hand back in order to engage and launch it across the air. She uses this form to ether grapple her opponents, launch herself or even save herself from nasty falls such as when she uses them to slow her fall during the Beacon Academy Initiation. Lastly in blade mode, she engages them by flexing her hand forward and down and she keeps her hands in fists during this mode. Once she unclenches her fists and flexes back, it retracts. She normally uses this mode when she runs out of metal feathers or against a sword or other blade users.

After the Battle of Beacon, she starts to utilize Dust in the metal feather blades such as fire and electricity.

***Abilities:***

Unlike the rest of her team, Rosalina has a more aggressive fighting style since she specializes in close quarters combat. She uses a kickboxing fighting style that she learns from her stepfather, Sorrel, and is enhanced by her weapons that she created at Pharos Academy: Soaring Wings. Rosalina prefers close combat matches from the training she has done with her stepfather. She can also think of creative ways to get out of her predicaments if it is needed like using her weapon's grappling hook function to accelerate herself or one of her teammates. Because of her weapon’s capabilities and her Semblance, she can also fight mid-range combat if needed.

Out of her teammates, she is also the strongest strength-wise and has the most physical endurance which are both above average. This is seen a few times during Beacon such as when she punches Mishiki halfway across the arena without the enhancement of her weapon during combat class. She is also the most durable of her team since she can take the most hits from her opponents without being easily wiped out. With her aura, she has the most durable of her entire team and sometimes uses that fact to shield her teammates. An instance of this would be when Rosalina protects Turquoise from a grimm attack during the Fall of Beacon and still had aura left to activate her Semblance one more time. During missions, she does utilize her canary, Rosa to perform reconnaissance in an area to either direct them to their target or to their allies. This is used much more after the fall of Beacon while she adventures with Team ZRKN.

However, her weakness lies in her evasion since she may be quick on her feet, though her speed is only average which gives faster combatants an advantage. She worked to improve on this with Quaralia and Turquoise during their time together. Another weakness that she has would be relying too much on her Semblance especially when she gets into an emotional state of anger or frustration. After the Battle of Beacon, she learns how to control her emotions better in the tide of battle and improves on her evasion skills while utilizing a new component of her Semblance.

***Aura:*** Bright Pink.

***Semblance:*** Fiery Tantrums

When Rosalina is upset or mad, she can slam either one or both her fists to the ground and can summon up to 6 pillars of fire to surround herself. The pillars erupt from runes that are placed immediately after she activates it. They only last for 20 seconds and can burn anyone, even teammates. Later on she is able to guide the pillars around in order to blow away foes or protect her allies. The more she guides the pillars, the more aura it takes. A side effect she discovers is that her eyes turn dark pink when her Semblance is active which is noticed when she first discovers her Semblance.

After the Battle of Beacon while training with her stepfather and Whitney, she discovered another aspect that allows her to empower her gauntlets or fists (even at one time her body) with fire that her aura creates in order to boost and give more variety to her attacks instead of having to create fire pillars. This aspect can activate unconsciously from her emotions which can fatigue her after a battle. She can only use one of the other at one time.

## Relationships

    Quaralia: Rosalina looks to her as a role model and as an older sister. She loves her fashion designs and admires her for her beauty and fashion sense. Even though she is not her partner, she is very close to her, as is her canary. She usually helps her with modeling and they usually talk with each other about many topics.

Turquoise: When she talks to her, they seem to get along well, even though she and Turq get into fights. Because of her kindness towards Turquoise, they start to spend more and more time with each other much to Turq's dismay. They have an understanding of animals and nature. She is hoping that Turquoise will open to her when she is ready and Rosalina will never give up on her, regardless on being a faunus.

Zabrina: As Rosalina's partner, she finds that she is easy to talk to and even though Zabrina can be critical at times, she knows that they care for each other. She can always count on her when it comes to her studies, especially when she zones out of class. She respects how she is and sympathizes with her with that Zabrina confides to her. They get along well and they usually have their backs during combat.
