Rosalina

Rosalina (ロゼッタ, Rozetta?, Rosetta) /ˌrəʊzɑˈlinɑ/ is the guardian of space and the adoptive mother of the Lumas. Rosalina made her debut in Super Mario Galaxy, though she has become a recurring character in spin-off games. She lives in space with her adopted children, the Lumas, and travels the universe on the Comet Observatory.

Rosalina appears as a mysterious woman with great power, whose sole duty is to watch over and guard the universe, the Mushroom Earth and protect the Lumas. Rosalina's backstory is described in her storybook, which is found in the Comet Observatory's Library in Super Mario Galaxy, telling her past of her time living on Earth and how she met the Lumas. She is currently voiced by Laura Faye Smith.

Appearance: Rosalina is a tall woman with fair skin and cyan-colored eyes, with only her left eye visible from a directly frontal view as her particularly large bang of her hair covers her right eye. She has defined peach-colored lips and long platinum-blonde hair that reaches to her waist with two sideburns and two pairs of crescent moon-shaped parting bangs aligned vertically on each side, with the topmost pairs along her forehead, nearly touching her eyes, and the bottommost pairs closest to her neck. For makeup, she uses purple nail polish and brown mascara. While she was young, according to her storybook, her hair was strawberry blonde. She also wore a sleeveless white nightgown.

Her primary outfit consists of a turquoise bell-sleeve gown with pastel blue edges and hem, which is folded toward the shoulders to bare them and, through a triangular opening, reveals white petticoat at its base, along with a silver crown with four gems—two rubies at the front and back and two sapphires at the sides, a topaz brooch with silver star setting, gold four-pointed star earrings, and silver round-toe high heels. She notably appears in this outfit when playing golf, making her one of two female character to participate in a primarily sports-themed game wearing her heels, the other one being White Mage, although Rosalina retains the full-length dress, whereas White Mage sports a mini dress.

Like Peach and Daisy, she has a biker suit when riding bikes or ATVs in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8. Rosalina's is primarily white and cyan, to differentiate hers from those of Peach and Daisy. Like Daisy, her hair needs to be flowing up to see the heart-shaped decal on the back of the suit.

In Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Rosalina wore a sleeveless sports dress that matched the color of her standard gown in cyan. The shoes were teal, and her legs were cloaked in white tights, although the tights were colored silver in Mario Sports Superstars. In Mario Tennis Aces, her footwear is replaced by a set of cyan hard cross trainer shoes.

In Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Rosalina wears a long-sleeved leotard with a collar for swimming and rhythmic ribbon events.

Personality: Rosalina is shown to be a wise, mature, motherly and kind woman, who has made protecting the cosmos her mission in life. She is a loving mother figure to the Lumas, caring for her children diligently. She also showed sorrow for her own mother, who apparently died many years before Rosalina met the Lumas. She also uses the phrase "may the stars shine down on you" as a way of saying good luck. A powerful figure, Rosalina has little-to-no fear even in the face of danger, as she threw herself in between Cursa and the Lumas in order to protect them without hesitation.

Biography: As a young child, Rosalina found a sad small star nearby a rusted spaceship. Rosalina asked its name, it introduced itself to be Luma. Its mother was coming for it via a comet. Rosalina borrowed a telescope to seek what was coming at nightfall, and for years, she did not see its mother. She knew she would be an old lady by the time she was finished searching if she stayed in the same place, so she suggested to search for the Luma's mother in a more proactive fashion. They departed from Earth on the Starshroom to continue their search.

While looking for Luma's mother, Luma allowed Rosalina to taste Star Bits for the first time, among other experiences the two shared. Rosalina and Luma found a comet but could not find Luma's mother. Rosalina and Luma rode on the turquoise comet and continued their quest. Rosalina told Luma that she will take care of him. The duo built their home on a solitary planet. Rosalina and Luma spotted an apricot planet one day, from which the other Lumas appeared and joined the duo.

Rosalina remembered using her father's telescope. She focused the telescope's lens to view the hill. When the hill reminded her about her family moments, she cried and was desperate to return home. Luma consoled her and transformed into a Comet Observatory that would forever carry their friends on their journey, in order to alleviate Rosalina's wishes. Rosalina and the Lumas reunited as a family, and Rosalina then made it her mission in life to protect these star people whom she do greatly loves, while also becoming the guardian of the universe. Since Rosalina still held an attachment to her home planet, Rosalina decided to visit Earth once every one hundred years, which eventually caused the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom celebrate the arrival of the comet, which is really the Comet Observatory, when it visited Earth once every century, calling the event the Starbit Festival.

Abilities and Powers: Magic: Rosalina is extremely skilled in the use of magic.

Force Field Generation: Rosalina can create force fields. She can surround the Comet Observatory with a huge force field, transforming it into a starship as a form of transportation. Also, if Mario attempts to jump on Rosalina, a force field will appear and protect her.

Levitation: Like the Lumas, Rosalina can levitate herself into the air. Flight: Like the Lumas, Rosalina has the ability to fly.

Teleport: Rosalina has shown the ability to teleport, at least from Earth to Space.

Telepathy: When Mario wakes up in the Mushroom Kingdom after the Lumas throw themselves into the black hole that Bowser's collapsing galaxy created, Rosalina speaks to Mario via telepathy, telling him that all life carries the essence of stars, even himself.

Holograms: Rosalina has shown the ability to create holograms of herself in Super Mario Galaxy 2, when she encounters Mario after he defeats Bowser.

Immortality and Eternal Youth: Rosalina has the appearance of a tall, young woman and has a youthful face and figure, despite being at least one hundred years old.
