Rosetta is a character in Chrono Cross. She is the sister of Razzly, and the impartial leader of the fairy colony residing on Water Dragon Isle.
Appearance
Rosetta's hair is pink, shoulder-length and wispy. She wears a blue dress and a pointy blue hat. Her eyes are green, and she is depicted as tranquil, calm and objective.
Biography
Ruling over this special breed of Demi-human, she is exclusively targeted by Dwarves (led by the Dwarf Chieftain) who want to invade the island and take her captive. Taken underground and brutally beaten, she is discovered by Serge and Razzly, and she presents them with a Wisp Cape. She then asks them to leave.
If Serge has not rescued Razzly from the Pentapus in Hydra Marshes, Rosetta is still abducted by the Dwarves and beaten. Upon finding her, Serge learns her last dying wish is to restore the tree at the Island's center, one that produces a very rare flower and Razzly's seventh level tech. Her Another World counterpart warns Serge the wells on the island have dried up and that the Water Dragon have become extinct.
If Serge didn't go to the water dragon before turning into Lynx, the island will be populated by lagoonates with no fairy to be found.
Etymology
Rosetta is the Italian variant of the name Rose, a flower popular for its scarlet petals and fragrance. Several times, Rosetta expresses her dying wish to see the flowers at the center of the Island preserved, and her name may be an allusion to this. The name Rosetta also resembles Rosette, a term in botany used to describe a natural arrangement of certain plant leaves; dandelions and aloe are two such examples.
