"May the stars shine down on you." ― Rosalina
Rosalina is a recurring secondary character in the Super Mario franchise, debuting in Super Mario Galaxy in 2007 and frequently recurring in titles since.
Background[]
Rosalina was once a little girl who enjoyed stargazing. One night, a mysterious spacecraft crash landed near her, and out of it came a baby star known as a Luma. For the next couple of days, Rosalina agreed to help the little Luma rebuild his ship, and once it was complete, the Luma took her into space with it to introduce her to more of it's kind, to which she agreed to serve as a mother to them. However, this was bittersweet, as it didn't take long for Rosalina to relish on memories she had with her mother, who now laid dead and buried beneath a tree outside their house. With the Lumas there to comfort her, Rosalina realized she had a greater purpose as their "mama", and continued to work on spacecrafts until she completed what she calls the Comet Observatory.
Stats[]
Attack Potency: Universe+ Level (Was able to shield Mario, Peach, and Bowser from the force of a supermassive black hole that is described as threatening the fabric of the universe. Able to damage characters who can harm her. Should be comparable to the power of a Grand Star. Is comparable to the rest of the major Mario cast in general.)
Speed: Massively Faster Than Light+ (Comparable to Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad. Can react to Bowser, who tagged Starship Mario. Able to pilot her Comet Observatory even at speeds fast enough to reach the center of the universe in seconds.)
Durability: Universe+ Level (Was unaffected by the destruction of the universe from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor and subsequent recreation by the sacrifice of the Lumas)
Hax: Light Reality Warping, Temporary Invulnerability via Super Star, Portal Manipulation, Battlefield Removal, Attack Reflection, Gravity Manipulation
Intelligence: At least Above Average, possibly higher (Seems to be very wise, with a greater and potentially cosmic understanding of the universe.)
Powers, Techniques, and Equipment[]
Powers[]
- Levitation: Rosalina is commonly shown hovering just above the ground.
- Spatial Manipulation: While fighting in Super Smash Bros., many of Rosalina's attacks depict her summoning and manipulating cosmic elements, such as forming miniature galaxies between her legs with an aerial kick, or summoning planetary rings above or below herself.
- Star Manipulation: Rosalina has shown the ability to summon shooting stars by waving her wand.
- Gravity Manipulation: Rosalina is able to affect gravity around her, as used with her Gravitational Pull move, detailed below.
- Teleportation: Rosalina can teleport great distances, from Earth to space in a second.
