Rosa Darling is a reincarnation of Gideon Gleeful, and is Ian Beale's best friend. She possesses no psychic power whatsoever, but claims to have a vague ability to sense some sort of energy coming off people, which makes her good at reading the general mood of crowds.

Physical description

Rosa is five feet, fat, and fabulous, if she does say so herself. Just about everything about her appearance is round and soft, including her features, though she has a rather sharp chin and an equally pointed glare.

She is never caught with her platinum-blonde hair out of its carefully-gelled fauxhawk, or without perfectly winged eyeliner. She’s lost count of how many piercings there are in her ears, but there’s one in her tongue and one in her nose. They match the safety pins, studs, and spikes that dot her rockabilly-punk styled outfits.

She’s about as pale as they come and has startlingly blue eyes, which occasionally, when she’s taking a look at someone’s aura (or when she’s particularly pissed off), almost seem to glow.

History

Rosa's family moved to New California from Austin when she was in the first grade.

As a matter of fact, Rosa was the one who first discovered and alerted Ian's parent's of his plans to commit suicide. While he would despise her for it at the time, the feeling wouldn't last.

At some point in her life, she became a musical celebrity. While initially being part of a three person band including Ian, he would drop out when she began to rise in fame. Naturally, Mira, being Ian's girlfriend, soon became acquainted with the woman as well.

When she was around 25, Rosa played a big part in uncovering the truth behind Ian's past life, between hiring Mira's friend Sun-Mi for the research, and paying for the test Ian took at the preincarnation center to determine his previous identity. She also attempted to orchestrate a plot in which Mira would discover something shady about Ian's history (such as an inclination towards demon worship) in order to break the couple apart.

In 3016, Rosa played Pacifica Northwest in a historical drama called Northwest Mansion Mystery.

Personality

She's not a terrible person, but isn't afraid of manipulating others to get what she wants. She is deceptively sweet in a way that's somewhat reminiscent of Gideon. Under the charming exterior, she's a firm and not easily deterred individual.

Relationships

Mira Ramachandran

Mira is Ian's girlfriend. Rosa secretly has a crush on her. While their relationship starts out pretty friendly, Mira becomes furious after discovering her true intentions.

Ian Beale

Rosa and Ian have known each other since first grade. On the first day, Ian recruited her in some mischief that they both got in trouble for, and they've been inseparable ever since.

Both her parents and Ian's mother encouraged her and Ian to make music, and so for a while they played nursing homes and church functions as a bluegrass duo called Partners in Crime. The band fell apart in their early teens when Ian's mom pushed them to get serious.

Rosa and Ian made a blood pact before starting middle school that, no matter what happened, they would stay friends and watch each other's backs. For the most part, that help up, apart from an incident when Rosa became jealous of Ian for dating Mira that temporarily put a strain on their friendship. After apologizing for her actions, he forgives her.
