Rose Paisley (ローズ・ペイズリー, Rōzu Peizurī) is the main protagonist of the comic Pink among Blood Red Roses written by PaisleyRose103.
Rose is an ordinary teenager living in the small town of Greenville in south-eastern Via. While initially appearing meek and somewhat docile, Rose is a strong-willed woman who isn't afraid to get her hands dirty in order to investigate her town's mysteries, as well as her own.
Rose utilizes the Talent "Rose & Release", which allows her to heal almost any injury using a clump of pink rose petals.
Appearance

Rose is a young woman of slim build, 177 cm (5 ft 10 in) tall. She has short fur and medium length hair which is kept as four separate tufts. Rose's ears are triangular and gradually became longer as the story develops. Her eyes are elliptical, with pronounced eyelashes that slightly jut out to the sides of her head. Her outfit changes in each story arc but usually consists of a short top and dress with varying triangle and arrow patterns adoring them.
Rose's most notable physical feature is her two large red cheek marks, which she was born with. She is often mistaken for a fox or a cat by people which annoys her, but she has gotten used to it.
Personality
Rose appears to be a mild-mannered woman to her peers and strangers, though this facade quickly shatters once something gets on her nerves. She is somewhat foul-mouthed, a trait inherited from her mother Cybeles. Rose rarely outwardly displays her true emotions to others in order to not appear "weak". She is rather prone to overthinking and worrying due to the various tragic events she underwent in life. This manifests in her wondering various times if she could ever live a life where she's truly "happy" without fearing death encroaching in on her or if getting "five minutes of happiness" is worth living a life of suffering.
When Rose was younger, she would assault fellow classmates and refuse to talk to them, not participating in class activities. Her school principal theorized this was due to a lack of a father figure. She also believed it was her own fault that her father left her family, though later she understands this was not the case.
To put it lightly, Rose isn't a very bright person. An example of this is when she failed to realize her best friend Paris is gay despite knowing each other for several years. In addition, Rose also forgets she has Rose & Release at times which can lead to fatal tactical errors when she is under assault. She's also rather snarky and enjoys making witty comebacks those who try to foil her, whether it'd be puns or intentionally refusing to play along with an opponent's plans. For example, when Nephele attacks Rose with My Real me is Scattered and toys around with her, Rose refuses to listen to Nephele's terms and even jokes with her, asking her if a "cat got her tongue".
Despite this, Rose is a capable fighter who manages to hold her own in a fight despite having a rather non-combat oriented ability and a general lack of fighting knowledge. She manages to outsmart Nephele and her army of duplicates and defeat her in battle. However, against more deadly abilities like Peitho Branford's Geometry & Eros she struggles severely and nearly loses before Peitho willingly gives up her own attack.
In addition, Rose is rather libidinous, getting a nosebleed when she sees provocative images of muscular men which she promptly bookmarked for "later use" and being aroused by Peitho's bosom despite being in the middle of a fight to the death with her.
Abilities
"Talent"
Rose's "Talent" is called Rose & Release. It grants her the ability to heal almost all types of injuries, as long as they are non-lethal. This ability is executed by throwing small rose petals at the target Rose wishes to heal. These petals can also stick objects together or pin something down to a certain spot. This ability is fully reversible if Rose wishes it to be so.
These petals manifest in Rose's hand and her control over their direction isn't particularly accurate.
Personal Skills
- Athleticism: While Rose isn't a particularly capable fighter compared to some of her foes, her athletic abilities are rather well developed. Historically, a younger Rose was able to out-run Nephele, Peitho and Dolos Valentine with relative ease, which she is still able to do so in her later teen years despite being in critical condition. When fighting Peitho, she also manages to do a flip to avoid the former's attack, apparently knowing how to do so from a show she watched as a kid.
