Rose crowley

Rose is by default a kind and compassionate person but is very strict and orderly. He holds a very high sense of responsibility (almost bordering on OCD) and values hard work and education. He is also extremely organized, having grim look over his daily checklists three times over. Rose is a very truthful person and doesn't usually (if at all) holds his tongue. Which, is often very sharp. No matter the person's position or how much respect he has for that person, he will speak his mind. If you ask him a question, he will tell you the truth, no questions asked.

Rose has a strong sense of moral justice, a trait he obtained from stories about heroes and monsters that his mother used to read for him, as well as the way his mother raised him. These stories are what gave him the ideals that he wished to live by and uphold throughout his life, and are the reason for his love for books.

Though generally kind and a bit soft, rose can also be assertive, with the authoritative nature of a mother. Once he takes residence in the dormitory of ramshackle, rose takes control of the unused building, turning it from an unkempt hovel to a clean and environment household. He furthers his authority by making sure his friends stay in line so they won't cause trouble for others, as well as persuading them to actually study, and despite some initial reluctance from ace and grim, they were ultimately unable to bypass rose's firm but kind attitude.

In addition, rose's leadership skills make him a worthy teammate. While he may occasionally act without thinking, sometimes he seems to understand the situation better than most. He can then use this ability to quickly formulate plans and solutions, this was seen during the battle with a overblot riddle, in which his friends' positions allowed him to come up with a successful plan. Crowley most likely assigned rose as a beast tamer to ensure that he grows as an individual.

This proves to be the case as he becomes a resourceful and dependable leader who studies so hard and so late, he falls asleep in the middle of the task, all to impress his familiar, grim. He was also able to pass his beliefs as leader to vil, thus helping him find a new sense of responsibility for the safety and well-being of his own dorm.

Rose is also shown to care for all his friends and teammates equally, despite their background. This is seen in how he expresses sympathy for riddle's terrible childhood after witnessing his memories, before showing the same concern later on for grim when he runs away. Rose's concern is further expressed in his desperate search for his familiar. This sense of care is later shown not to be limited to his friends and teammates. He also shows the same worry for ortho, telling the latter to stay out of the fight between his brother and some of the dorm leaders and vices.

He can also be playful and somewhat sassy, as he takes advantage of leona's sour disposition and initial dislike for him by teasing him. He largely ignores leona's rude remarks, responding only with a soft smile or cheery glow as a means of annoying him.

In chapter 3, his hard-working ethics, optimism, kindness and devotion are put to the test when his friends are being forced to work under azul by their magical will. During these events, rose is shown to be cunning and tactical, and a fierce rival to those who oppress him. With no magic, being forced to rely solely on his intelligence and fearlessness, rose is able to defeat azul's plan, save his friends and azul himself, proving both his independence and strong will.
