She retired from the front lines after marriage and childbirth to continue her magic research at home. A widow who earned a living writing and selling beginner's guidebooks while raising the protagonist with care. Hearing her son was departing as a Hero, she decided to join him out of worry and curiosity. Ostensibly she's there to "assist the young Hero," but her true motive is seeing what kind of women her son meets and wanting to be active as an adventurer again. She alternates between spoiling Guest rotten and exposing his past when he gets cocky, saying things like, "Oh please, weren't you the one who used to crawl into my bed just because of a little thunder?" Comedy element: Despite being able to use powerful magic, she uses it for drying laundry or keeping pots warm during the journey. When her incantations are too long, the protagonist snarks, "Wouldn't it be faster to just start a regular fire?"

Doesn't sweat the small stuff. A woman from the bloodline of the legendary Hero. Her son, Tonnura, was raised in the Royal Capital carrying everyone's expectations from a young age. Her son left for the capital first, full of spirit, claiming to be the true successor. However, the letters she receives from him are mostly receipts and notes saying, "I spent all my travel funds partying at night." Rosalie went to the guild to chase after her son. But after meeting Lydia, whose son is also a Hero, a strange rivalry has sprouted over whose son is the true successor. She believes her son is a full-fledged man, but since his letters are always about food and being broke, the party suspects he might be the "Legendary Spendthrift" rather than the Legendary Hero.

Furthermore, she received intel from old contacts that the Demon King's Army has collaborators inside the Royal Capital. To protect her family and the city, and to settle old scores from her past in the underworld, she has returned to action as an adventurer. Relationship with protagonist: Since she's known him since he was a kid, she has no reservations. She scolds him mercilessly, saying things like, "I don't care if you're the Hero or whatever, tie your own damn shoelaces." She has a habit of doubting everything, even asking innkeepers, "This room doesn't have any hidden passages, does it?" She constantly bickers with Cecilia over trying to manage the party's wallet.
