Rosalina

of all the pearls of wisdom she's picked up over her many years, 'better late than never' is one of rosalina's favourites. presumably, it's this mindset that led her to begin studying botanical science in the twilight years of her life, after over a century of passionate but strictly casual interest in the subject. this pursuit led her to the astral commune, where she serves as a caretaker of the startree in between her studies, a position that allows her the peace and quiet she often needs at her age without depriving her of a community to be at home in.

many of the commune's dragons look up to rosalina as an elder, a position she's more than happy to fill. whether it's a frustrating snag in research, a bout of homesickness, or relationship troubles, rosa is always willing to usher you into her garden to chat about it over a cup of tea - her den, in fact, is lined with teacups of every size for precisely this purpose. she quite enjoys the 'team grandma' role she's ended up in, and often cheekily plays into it with some comment about how back in her day they didn't have this fancy 'grand exchange,' they had to pray that their favourite night of the nocturne items would cycle into the treasure marketplace while they were awake, uphill, both ways, in the snow.
