Rosa wears a sleeveless white top with long, decorated gloves and a large belt that holds a dagger on her side. She also wears gold and pink braces on her knees and light purple ankle boots.
Personality: Rosa is gentle and kind by nature, never able to hurt any of her friends. She is not one to say things about others that is mean behind their backs, feeling that to do so to her friends would be a terrible thing. She would never raise a hand against a friend, and is very honest. Having no qualms about telling someone her opinion, yet being able to say what she needs to in such a way that it has a vast amount of tact worked in.
Is said to be the most beautiful woman in Baron. Yet despite that beauty, Rosa is not 'seethrough' as it were, and is honest, moral and sweet. And even though she is kind and gentle, she is also strong at heart, being willing to follow Cecil into dangerous situations and stand by him despite his objections. Never one to let her fears or doubts take over, Rosa thinks clearly and often is able to think logically, despite pressure or stress. Normally she will let others lead, such as Cecil, but when the requirement is so, she can step up and be a fine leader.
History: Rosa became a White Mage because her mother, Joanna, was a White Mage who fought alongside her father, a dragoon, and she wished to fight alongside her lover Cecil like her mother did with her father.
Rosa is first seen in Baron, when Cecil finds her in the castle after his mission to Mysidia and before he and Kain go on their mission to deliver a package to the village of Mist. She worries for and tries to encourage Cecil, who has doubts about the King of Baron. She responds to Cecil's fears and doubts about his current path in life by speaking about the goodness she sees in him, that he needs to follow his heart, and lastly wishes Cecil luck on his mission to Mist.
When Cecil does not return, and after learning of the new plans of the Red Wings, Rosa becomes worried and starts searching for him. The specifics of her travel from Baron to Kaipo remain unknown, yet she eventually contracts Desert Fever, an illness which only the Sand Pearl can cure, and collapses on the outskirts of Kaipo. An elderly couple in Kaipo tends to Rosa during her malady, and when Cecil and Rydia come to visit her, they vow to find the Sand Pearl so they can cure her. After obtaining the Sand Pearl in the Antlion's Den with Edward's help, they return to Kaipo and use it on Rosa, who recovers. Rosa tells Cecil about what happened after he left Baron, revealing how a man named Golbez took control of the Red Wings and actively seeks the remaining Crystals. Rosa offers to assist in reaching Fabul, where its people keep the Crystal of Air - surely Baron's next target - as a national treasure.
Rosa, Cecil, Rydia, and Edward cross the dangerous Mt. Hobs in order to reach Fabul. However, a thick sheet of ice blocks their path as they attempt to cross the mountains. Only a Fire spell can melt the ice, and only Rydia, gifted with Black Magic, can cast it, but the burning of her village has created a mental block that keeps her from casting the spell. Rosa helps Rydia overcome this block with encouragement and a reminder of the enormity of their quest, and Rydia overcomes her limitation and opens the way to Fabul by melting the ice. Further up the mountain, the party meets a man named Yang Fang Leiden, a Monk from Fabul. They help him defeat several of Golbez's monsters, and warn Yang about Fabul's impending danger.
Upon reaching Fabul, the party provides the urgent news of Baron's intentions to Fabul's king. He accepts the party's help and shortly thereafter, Baron invades Fabul. During the battle, Rosa and Rydia take the office of relief until the invading forces push Cecil, Edward, and Yang into the Crystal Room. Kain arrives in Fabul as Golbez's servant and defeats Cecil in battle, but the sight of Rosa stalls Kain and he stops him from killing his friend. At Kain's hesitation, Golbez enters the Crystal Room and defeats the rest of the party. He abducts Rosa and orders Kain to take the Crystal of Air. Golbez then takes Rosa to the Tower of Zot and keeps her as a prisoner at its highest level. She remains bound as Golbez's captive throughout the game until Cecil defeats Cagnazzo and obtains the Enterprise from Cid, at which point Kain parleys with Cecil and offers Rosa's freedom in exchange for the Crystal of Earth. Cecil reclaims the Crystal from the Dark Elf and fights his way to the top of the Tower of Zot, defeating the Magus Sisters to reach the top floor.
When Cecil finally arrives with the Crystal, Golbez takes it and denies that he holds Rosa hostage. Tellah attacks Golbez and casts Meteor on him, which breaks Golbez's control over Kain who guides Cecil to Rosa in time to rescue her. Cecil and Rosa admit their feelings for each other and share a kiss, and Kain apologizes for having betrayed Cecil and mistreated Rosa. Rosa forgives him and invites him to fight alongside her and Cecil, to which he agrees. The party moves to leave the tower when Barbariccia, the Archfiend of Air, appears before the party and attacks. After her defeat, Barbariccia sets the tower toward its destruction, and Rosa casts the Exit spell to warp the party from the tower to Cecil's room in Baron. With Golbez possessing all the four Crystals, Cecil's party worries about the next step in Golbez's plan. Kain reveals the existence of the Dark Crystals, a similar set to the Crystals stolen from each prominent kingdom, hidden in the Underworld. Kain explains Golbez needs all eight Crystals - the four Dark Crystals and the four already in his possession - to open "the way to the Moon." Cecil decides his party should head underground to protect the remaining Crystals, and Kain shows Cecil the Key of Magma. Cid's airship Enterprise had since returned to Baron via remote control.
Following Rosa's rescue from the Tower of Zot, a visit to Rosa's mother in the Nintendo DS version of Final Fantasy IV leads to a conversation about Rosa's decision to pursue Cecil to Kaipo. Rosa's mother laments permitting Rosa to study White Magic since it put her in harm's way, demanding that Rosa remain home. Rosa responds by expounding her thankfulness for the ability to help those in need, and reminds her mother of the bond her parents shared similar to her relationship to Cecil. Confronted with Rosa's true feelings, Rosa's mother admits the value of her daughter's choices and wholly entrusts Rosa's safety to Cecil.
From this point on Rosa travels with the party in their quest to protect the Crystals, mainly in the background role. Once on the Red Moon the game reveals the tragic history of Cecil and Golbez, finalizing in a flashback of the first meeting between Cecil and Kain during their childhood years. In it, Kain initiates a scuffle with Cecil over the perceived special treatment he believes Cecil receives from the King of Baron, when Rosa intervenes. She reminds Kain of the moral code of men stated by the King, and when Cecil admits to starting the fight, Rosa shows admiration for Cecil's honesty.
Following these revelations, Fusoya and Golbez head to The Moon to fight Zemus. On the Lunar Whale, Cecil asks Rosa and Rydia to leave the ship, convinced that the fight with Zemus would entail too much danger for him to allow Rosa and Rydia to accompany them for the final battle. The women reluctantly agree, secretly stowing away within the ship. Once the airship lands on the moon, Rosa and Rydia reveal themselves. Rosa defends her right to join Cecil out of love and by noting her ability to cast White Magic, a skill Cecil possesses but with much less proficiency.
Cecil admits to their value and allows the women to take part in the battle against Zemus. They journey to the core of the moon, where Fusoya and Golbez appear to defeat Zemus. However, the hatred that grew inside Zemus over the years gains its own sentience in the form of a creature called Zeromus, which continues the attack on the party. With help from the prayers of old friends, the party defeats Zeromus. Cecil and Rosa marry and take the throne of Baron. All party members except Kain attend the wedding.
A year has passed after the events of Final Fantasy IV, Cecil and Rosa set off the Red Wings to fly over the Damcyan Castle for the reconstruction celebration. While at the celebration, a guard enters and tells Yang that some monks were brutally attacked at Mt. Hobbs. Hearing this, Yang plans to leave but Cecil and Rosa decide to go with him. Once they get to the summit of Mt. Hobbs, they find two injured monks, which Rosa heals. Soon after they are attacked by the a Dad Bomb. When they defeat it they head to Fabul where Yang's wife Sheila is about to give birth to Ursula. Yang asks Cecil to be Ursula's godfather, which he gladly accepts.
When Cecil and Rosa are about to leave they find Cid, Luca, Palom and Porom, who tell Cecil that there is a swarm of monsters coming out of the Sealed Cave. As they are about to take off Cecil tells Yang to stay with his family. Cid notices that Rosa looks pale and Cecil asks Yang to take care of her while he is away. After the incident in the Tower of Babil, back at Baron, Rosa lies in bed and Cecil asks if she is alright. At Damcyan, Cecil reveals that Rosa is pregnant. Everyone is overjoyed with the news, and they tell Cecil that he should start coming up with some names.

Role Play Sample:
Cecil.
Nothing had been heard in so long. Where could he be? What could have held him up? Rosa clutched her hands together and sat in the room with the white mages around her. "Rosa, you do not seem yourself today. Are you alright?" Blinking, she turned her worried eyes to the white mage and nodded. "Yes...perfectly alright." Turning her head back around, she stood up and walked toward the door, bowing her head and keeping her hands clutched together. "Cecil..." She'd heard nothing from him, yet turmoil kept coming up more and more in the kingdom. What did it all mean? Opening her eyes and lifting her face, her hands dropped to her sides and she just turned back, not even seeing the white mages who had taught her white magic. Her eyes, looked beyond the room, seeing a vision of the man she had fallen in love with.
She remembered the night before Cecil and Kain left. Cecil had seemed so worried and doubtful, so unlike the Cecil she had known for so many years. Yet was it not human to have fear and doubt something? She hoped what she had said had gotten to him. She really had meant everything, but as the days went on, she became more and more worried. Would he return? She did love him, had for awhile now in fact. But would he ever come back to her? She continued to feel this fear, which heightened every day of her life. She wished so much that she could have gone with him, but knew he wouldn't allow that. Still, it was something that was in the back of her mind, pushed there, yet wanting to come out every day. That was where she wanted to be. At Cecil's side, even if there was danger. She didn't care about that! Why couldn't he see that? It was better then staying here...with the problems that kept going on...
Like Golbez...
Golbez was now leading the Red Wings. With his leadership, Rosa feared there would be even more suffering for the people. She didn't know why the King was acting the way he was, but something wasn't right! Why was he creating such problems? And why were innocent people having to be hurt? She didn't understand! Turning, Rosa offered no explanation, but simply walked out of the room. She didn't quite know where she was going, but she knew she had to do something. This wasn't where she belonged. She belonged with Cecil, fighting by his side. So why was she still here? She knew he would worry...but...
Her steps faltered.
"Cecil? I heard he died in the earthquake by the village of Mist." No! Her head turned and she stared at the the man who had spoke. Running toward him, her long cape fluttering behind her, she slowed when she neared the man and his companion. "Sir. Excuse me Sir." When he turned to meet the young woman, he looked at her up and down. "Yes? What is it you needed?" Slowing and finally stopping, she glanced up at him, her eyes a bit desperate. "You spoke of Cecil. The previous leader of the Red Wings...what...what did you say?" Staring at her for a minute, he shrugged, not seeing the harm of telling her. "I was told he died in that earthquake by the village of Mist. No one has heard from him." Stepping back physically, Rosa shook her head. "No! It..cannot be!" Speaking a bit sharper then intended, the man shrugged, "I'm just repeating what I heard Ma'am."
With her hands shaking, Rosa shook her head back and forth slowly, before turning and once again running off, her hair and cape fluttering. Where was she even going? Mist...the man had said he was dead. But he could not be dead! Wouldn't she know? Wouldn't she have some sort of feeling that told her if he was dead? No. He could not be dead! Finally arriving at her room, Rosa blindly grabbed for her bow and arrows before turning around. If Cecil would not come back, then she would go to him. She'd learned white magic just for this. Her mother had fought by her fathers side, just as she would fight next to Cecil. If only she could make it to Mist. Turning, she lifted her things and walked off, her eyes set. She could make it to mist and get back to Cecil.
She would find him...
*Some time later*
Rosa stumbled and fell to her knees, her breathes coming in ragged gasps. Raising her face, she blinked against the sun and tried to stand up, only to fall back to her knees. "Cecil...Cecil don't leave me..." Gasping a few more times, she just knelt there, unable to go on. She'd encountered monsters over and over, the heat, plus the exertion...it was just to much. She could feel something was wrong with her body, and it tried fighting it, but it would seem it was a losing battle. If only...she could hang on, and see Cecil one more time. Once more...if only to tell him she loved him and to warn him of this Golbez...
If, that was...if he was still alive.
But no! She couldn't give up now. She had to go on. Managing to pick herself back up, Rosa used her bow to support herself as she walked and continued on, slowly picking her way across the desert ground. The sand kicked up and bit at her eyes, and all the while her body kept heating up more and more, the internal temperature rising as the illness took over. After what seemed to be days and days of walking, Rosa blinked and stopped, her gaze resting on what appeared to be a village. Just a mirage...just...a...mirage...yet she felt her steps quicken until she was at a stumbling run, using up all the reserves she had on her body.
Until she finally stumbled and fell. Collapsing in the desert sands, Rosa moved restlessly, trying to get back to her feet, her bow rested beside her. Blinking, she was blinded by the harsh winds and sand biting at her eyes. The heat was getting to her, but she couldn't see well enough to realize just how close she had made it to the village. Her hand reached out, but closed on nothing but the elusive sands, shifting under her body. "Cecil..." Choking out his name once more, Rosa's body slumped and she relaxed upon the ground, eyes glazed as the darkness took over. If she was to die here...she wanted to see him once more.
Just once...
