{{main|Rosalina's Story}}
Rosalina's story begins when she meets a young Luma in a rusted spaceship, where they rebuild the spaceship to go search for the Luma's mother. They traverse through space, encountering comets, asteroids, and Star Bits. Rosalina then starts to miss her own mother, but the two begin to build a new home that would eventually become the Comet Observatory. As she and the Luma build the home, Rosalina takes more Lumas under her wing. After they see their 100th comet, Rosalina looks back at her home planet, which causes her to feel greatly upset and homesick, and then comes to terms with the fact that her own mother is dead. The young Luma who traversed with Rosalina tells her that her mother is always part of her, and then transforms into a comet that can traverse to Rosalina's home planet. Rosalina then declares that the Lumas are her family now, and declares they will visit her home planet once every 100 years.

[[File:Rosalina SMG.png|200px|thumb|Rosalina in her Comet Observatory for ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
During one of her centennial visits to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], the Comet Observatory is attacked by [[Bowser]], who steals the observatory's [[Power Star]]s and [[Grand Star]]s. Rosalina later appeared to [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] after [[Princess Peach|Peach]] is kidnapped. In order to aid Mario/Luigi she gives him [[Baby Luma|Luma]], the same one seen with Peach at the [[Star Festival]]. Once Mario/Luigi collects the first Grand Star, she explains to him that Bowser stole the Power Stars and requests that he help get them back. As more Power Stars are returned, she appears in the library, where she reads [[Rosalina's Story|her storybook]] to Mario/Luigi and some Lumas. After Mario/Luigi collects enough stars to power the ship, Rosalina flies the observatory to [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor|the center of the universe]] for the final confrontation with Bowser. After the Lumas sacrifice themselves to stop the giant [[black hole]] created by Bowser's sun, Rosalina appears to Mario/Luigi and explains the "cycle of life" to him before he awakens at Peach's Castle. If the player collects all 120 Power Stars, Rosalina thanks the player, and tells them that she watches over them from beyond the stars. She then proceeds to transform the [[Comet Observatory]] into a comet, and shoots off into the stars.

If the player completes [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]] after Rosalina has been unlocked, she is then seen with two [[Luma]]s in the end credits, at the end of the first split of the [[Clear Pipe]], replacing three [[Sprixie]] denizens. Additionally, Rosalina's [[Comet Observatory]] can be seen in the background of the game's expanded key artwork, the final scene after the credits, and {{world|star2|2}}: Super Galaxy.

Rosalina returns in her second ''Mario Kart'' game appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. This is the first time that Rosalina appears on a handheld game. She is a Cruiser-type character, along with [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Wiggler]], and this time, she appears without a Luma accompanying her in the races. Rosalina has an advantage bonus in weight and speed. Just as in ''Mario Kart Wii'', Rosalina is an unlockable character, which the player must win the [[Star Cup]] at 150cc to unlock. In this game, she has her own track, [[3DS Rosalina's Ice World|Rosalina's Ice World]], which makes allusion to the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series, where she has appeared prominently. When Rosalina uses the [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] for a glider, it becomes turquoise to match her color scheme. Likewise, her [[Birthday Girl]] kart is colored blue.

Rosalina reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This time, she is available from the start. She is once again a heavyweight character, though among the lightest heavyweights, sharing statistics with [[King Boo]], Link, and [[Pauline]]. She has the lowest top speed and weight of all the heavyweights, while still sharing similar acceleration as other heavy groups. However, her handling is amongst the best of the heavyweights. She also has the strongest mini-turbo boost of the heavyweights. Finally, her traction statistic is noticeably strong, being far and away the best in her weight class.

Rosalina and Luma have a moveset largely inspired by the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games. They can be controlled individually, similar to the [[Ice Climbers]] from past ''Super Smash Bros.'' installments. Luma can be attacked and defeated, and can eventually be re-summoned by Rosalina. However, like attacking Nana and [[Captain Olimar|Olimar's]] [[Pikmin]], the damage does not count towards Rosalina's damage percentage, though Luma has its own individual but unseen damage counter. Rosalina can also control how far away the Luma can be from her, by using her standard special attack; the [[Luma Shot]].

Her down special move is named [[Gravitational Pull (move)|Gravitational Pull]], which sends items and weapons towards Rosalina. While she uses this move, weapons are disabled. The attack seems to be inspired by the Spin from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Her up special attack; the [[Launch Star (move)|Launch Star]], gives Rosalina a vertical boost (with an animation similar to Mario's and Luigi's animation after using a [[Launch Star]] in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, even including the Launch Star sound effect). Her side special, [[Star Bit]]s, releases a group of Star Bits that are used as projectiles. Rosalina's Final Smash, [[Grand Star (move)|Power Star]], summons a large Power Star, which shoots many smaller stars onto the stage that damage opponents.

Rosalina appears as a tall, youthful woman who bears a resemblance to Princess Peach, especially regarding her body type and facial features. However, Rosalina's eyes are turquoise with six brown eyelashes, her lips are lighter-colored, and her hair is a lighter blonde than Peach's (her storybook implies she could have had red hair as a young girl, despite Baby Rosalina's hair being platinum blonde like her adult counterpart) with a large bang obscuring her right eye. Rosalina appears taller than most human characters, only surpassed by [[Waluigi]], but she can also become much larger, as evidenced by the ending to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', where Mario is shown to be roughly the size of her hand.
Rosalina appears as a tall, youthful woman who bears a resemblance to Princess Peach, especially regarding her body type and facial features. However, Rosalina's eyes are turquoise with six brown eyelashes, her lips are lighter-colored, and her hair is a lighter blonde than Peach's (her storybook implies she could have had red or strawberry blonde hair as a young girl, despite Baby Rosalina's hair being platinum blonde like her adult counterpart) with a large bang obscuring her right eye. Rosalina appears taller than most human characters, only surpassed by [[Waluigi]], but she can also become much larger, as evidenced by the ending to ''Super Mario Galaxy'', where Mario is shown to be roughly the size of her hand.


Rosalina wears an aqua floor-length dress which bares her shoulders, where a powder-blue flap loops around, and has long flared sleeves, topped with powder-blue frills. At the bottom is another powder-blue frill that loops around until turning up to a point at the middle, showing a layer of a petticoat underneath. She has a star-shaped silver brooch with a round gold gem, a silver crown with an engraved star pattern and pink and blue gems, golden star-shaped earrings and silver high heels. She also wears purple polish on her fingernails. In most of her appearances, Rosalina carries a thin silver wand with a hollow golden star at the top, which is called the Star Wand.<ref>Foxe, Steve. ''Super Mario Official Sticker Book''. Page 9 – ''"Rosalina travels across the galaxy with her Star Wand and crew of Lumas, protecting the spaceways from danger!"''</ref>

Rosalina is usually depicted as right-handed in artwork, but left-handed in-game, with a few exceptions: in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', ''Mario Sports Superstars'', ''Mario Tennis Aces'', and ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'', the player can choose if Rosalina is left- or right-handed, and Rosalina holds her wand with her right hand during cutscenes in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. However, in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Rosalina has been depicted as left-handed in artwork, but right-handed when she participates in an activity or minigame. In ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]'', Rosalina is depicted as right-handed in both her artwork and in-game, while she is depicted as left-handed on the box art for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Rosalina wears a white jumpsuit with aqua stripes when riding [[Bike|motorbikes]], as well as [[ATV]]s in the latter two titles. She also has a matching turquoise scarf, belt, boots, gloves, and a heart-shaped pattern on the back of her jumpsuit, similar to [[Princess Peach#Alternate outfits|Peach's]] and [[Princess Daisy#Alternate outfits|Daisy's]]. The gloves are styled similarly to Peach's typical ones, and are teal with a white trim to match the boots, which have white soles. She keeps her regular crown, earrings and brooch.

The dress is her typical cyan color but has a frilled hem and collar, and no longer cuts off at the top of her chest. She retains her brooch, crown and earrings, and is also equipped with a set of white tights rather with teal sports shoes, though the tights are shown to be gray in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]''.

In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', she wears a leotard in the Rhythmic Gymnastics event, once again in a similar style to Peach's and Daisy's. Her leotard is a greener shade of regular teal color, matching her dress in her early appearances, and has long sleeves with a pale trim. The bottom of the leotard has a paler strip of fabric attached, which resembles the hem of her typical gown, and a loose collar in a similar style. The leotard also has darker turquoise stripes down the sides, and she still wears her signature crown, earrings, and brooch.

Although Rosalina's design has not been changed since her debut, aside from a fancier version of her dress used in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', her concept design was vastly different when she was originally being created for ''Super Mario Galaxy''. She was depicted with a beehive hairstyle along with straight-cut bangs. She had more unique facial features including the style of her eyes and mouth; the facial features she has now are more similar to Peach's. Her outfit was also somewhat closer to Peach and Daisy's. Instead of a crown, she wore a tiara, and her gloves were just like Peach's. A final concept drawing depicted Rosalina very similarly to the way in which she appears now, though it contained minor color differences.

A final concept drawing depicted Rosalina very similarly to the way in which she appears now, though it contained minor color differences, mainly with her hair.


The ''Super Mario Galaxy'' development team considered making Rosalina a relative of Princess Peach; while this was dropped from the final game, her overall character design still reflects this early idea.<ref>"''In the early stages, we contemplated the idea that Rosalina was related to Princess Peach, so that is why their features are very similar. Her long bangs represent her outward strength and inner sorrow and loneliness.''" Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide. Page 346.</ref>

As apparent in the storybook, Rosalina cares very strongly for her mother. While Rosalina was a child, she had dreams where her mother was leaving her permanently. While looking back at her planet after the one hundredth comet passes, Rosalina suddenly realized her mother was dead and burst into tears. Additionally, the storybook reveals Rosalina has an unnamed brother in the seventh chapter, and gives some description about her unnamed father, said to have facial hair he takes pride in, during the final chapter in the Japanese, European Spanish, French, and Italian versions of ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Rosalina bonded with a Luma looking for its mother and soon became the adoptive mother of both it and a host of other Lumas, who in turn comforted her when she mourned the death of her own mother. She often reads bedtime stories to the Lumas in the Library, is accompanied by a Luma in ''Mario Kart Wii'', and battles on a team with a Luma throughout her playable appearances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. A Luma named [[Polari]] is her most trusted adviser and is often found at her side in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. She is also held in high esteem by [[Lubba]], who refers to her as "The Lady of the Shooting Stars" and is happy to have her on board the [[Starship Mario]] at the end of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
