Rosetta is a character in Chrono Cross. Sister to Razzly, she is the impartial leader of the fairy colony residing on Water Dragon Isle.

Appearance

Shoulder-length and wispy, Rosetta's hair is pink. She wears a blue dress with 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 sought to invade the island and take her captive. Taken underground and brutally beaten, she is discovered by Serge and Razzly, and she presents the latter with a Wisp Cape. She then asks them to leave.

Had Serge not rescued Razzly from the Pentapus in Hydra Marshes, Rosetta is still abducted by the Dwarves and beaten. Upon finding her, Serge learns that her last dying wish is the 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 that the wells on the island have dried up and that Water Dragon have become extinct.

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. Alternatively, Rosetta resembles Rosette, a term in botany used to describe a natural arrangment of certain plant leaves. Dandelions and Aloe plants have this leaf arrangement.
