Rose Marvin (formerly known as Rosalina Mario) is one of the main characters of the SML series. She is the wife of Marvin and the adoptive mother of Jeffy. Rosalina made her debut in the American Idol reboot, but she wasn't properly introduced until "Mario's New Girlfriend!". She is a human who was born and raised in outer space by two green aliens, and it's possible but yet to be confirmed that she still lives with them. On October 27, 2017, Rosalina married Mario.
After "Bowser's Mistake!", Rosalina disappeared, due to her actress Elaina Keyes being on a hiatus. This caused many fans to believe that she has been retconned out of the series as a main character. However, she returned in "Doctor Jeffy!" after a long hiatus. Rosalina has appeared in most Jeffy videos since and seems to be a main character again. As of February 2021, to comply with the Cease and Desist from Nintendo, Rosalina's name was shortened to Rose to avoid any legal action from Nintendo.
Rosalina was born on an unknown date by two human parents who possibly were neglectful and left her as a baby, by somehow ejecting her into outer space. Rosalina was found as a baby by two green aliens, who adopted her, although they didn't tell her that they weren't her real parents. Her real parents are unknown.
Rosalina first appeared in the American Idol reboot series, but she wasn't properly introduced until the video, "Mario's New Girlfriend!", where she and Mario fell in love and started dating.
Her and Mario/Marvin often butt heads, with these arguments often caused by Jeffy.
There were also times when Rosalina was theorized to have broken up with Mario, but they remain together to this day.
Physical Appearance
Rosalina appears the same as she does in numerous Mario games, having a long cyan gown, platinum blonde hair with a side bang that covers one of her eyes and cyan eyes.
In her puppet form, Rose wears a cyan tank top and blue pants. The star brooch appears as a necklace worn on her neck. She also wore sandals in her first appearance as a puppet, though she seems to have ditched them in the rest of her appearances as a puppet like Crystal did with her sandals in her later appearances, and as a result is now barefoot. Instead of platinum blonde hair, her hair is completely blonde akin to Peach's.
In "SML Animated", she is back to her old "Rosalina" appearance, wearing a cyan dress, black shoes, and yellow star earrings. She also has light skin, black eyebrows, layered platinum blonde hair, and black eyes with eyelashes. In SML Animated: Jeffy!, she wore a silver crown with red and cyan gems, but it was removed in the Jeffy's Good Day! adaptation.
Personality
In her first two appearances, she was a crybaby who sobbed over the stars because the sun took them away. She and Junior had two things in common: they were both big crybabies and idiots, and they both believed the sun was a planet and the Earth is flat. Rose missed her star, Luma, but Mario then brought him back to her, causing her to love him.
For the rest of her appearances, she has been portrayed as a stereotypical ditzy dumb blonde, most likely because her initial personality was flat, one-note, and annoying. Despite this, she is incredibly sweet and caring. For example, in Mario's New Girlfriend!, just like Junior, she thinks the sun is a planet and not a star and in Doctor Jeffy!, she gets stuck at a stop sign for a year while thinking it's supposed to turn green.
Over time she developed to be more intelligent and less dumb and much more serious and not oblivious.
At first, she was very kind to Mario and was quite in love with him, unlike Peach, who treated him like dirt, often for very minor reasons that makes her seem like she's using him for her own ends. Rose also has deep motherly affections towards Jeffy, while Marvin is less close with the latter.
She can get defensive of Jeffy to the point that she ruined her own husband's reputation, claiming to the police that Marvin likes to beat Jeffy up all the time, which is not factual.
However, in her recent appearances since the introduction of Jeffy, her marriage with Marvin has been inconsistent, sometimes she is shown to really care about Marvin, but other times she tends to get extremely upset at him as a result of certain misunderstandings that she has.
Rose is shown to be unreasonable towards others, especially Marvin, to the point where she acts rather over-the-top, shown in Jeffy's New Toy! where she imitates Marvin being shocked by her sudden appearance in his house.
In the same episode, she is revealed to have a slightly scary side, as she terrifies Marvin just for lying to her. This revealed that Rose can also be somewhat hypocritical, as she criticized Marvin for lying, even though Rose lied to the police that Marvin likes to beat Jeffy all the time.
She is shown to have a little bit of trust issues in Mario, as in Jeffy's Cellphone!, Rose viciously beats Marvin for supposedly calling a prostitute, despite the fact that she was with Marvin the whole day. She also attempted to call the police on Marvin in The Dead Body!, assuming that Marvin purposely killed a hobo, without any evidence that he purposely did so, or letting him give an explanation. In Jeffy The Sketch Artist!, she immediately assumes Marvin is guilty every single time despite zero evidence for such, him being in jail while the crimes are committed, and him constantly explaining what is actually happening.
Additionally, Rose is shown to be immature for her age, due to her initial cries over the sun blocking the stars, though this seems to subside. In addition, in Jeffy's Brain!, she thought it was perfectly acceptable to throw her plate of unwanted food at the wall, just because Jeffy does the same multiple times.
Rose is presumed to have some pedophiliac tendencies, as shown in Shrek's Coma!, where she was shown to have found Shrek in the body of Atso, a minor, to be sexy, and in Jeffy's Brain!, when she flirted with Jeffy while he was speaking French.
She said in videos that she is vegetarian and doesn't believe in harming animals in any sort of fashion. However, she has consumed foods containing animal products in the past, this is explained in the behind the scenes of Jeffy's Traffic Light! that she is only vegetarian sometimes.
She doesn't like the idea of her and her family having a ton of money (possibly because she knows it corrupts people and turns them into selfish jerks, examples including Junior, Joseph, and Mr. Goodman) and suggests this view on Marvin; she believes that people have jobs for fun. This is especially prominent in Mario Sells Jeffy! where she bearded Marvin for selling Jeffy for 10 million dollars. She would only spend some time with Marvin and her annoying son Jeffy and tells Marvin most of the time to control his anger.
She is shown to be lethargic sometimes, as examples are in "Career Day!" and "Marvin The Pool Boy!" where she berates Marvin for not having a job, and when Marvin says that she doesn't have one either, she claims that her job is to sit at home and look pretty.
Despite her negative traits, in some episodes she acts as a voice of reason to the other characters, and her care for Jeffy (variably), veganism/vegetarianism and having much less psychopathic tendencies than everyone else.
She seems to be the most empathetic character in the show, even if she does still have bouts of insanity like the others (especially against Marvin).

Relationships
Mario/Marvin
Rosalina kissing Mario
Mario/Marvin is Rosalina/Rose's husband.
In the beginning, Rosalina truly loved Mario and had a strong bond with him, as well as helping him parent Jeffy. Nowadays, Rosalina rarely gets really irritated with him being mean to Jeffy, though. She also tends to cheat on Mario.
After Jeffy got taken away in Jeffy's Parents!, she got mad at Mario for his heartlessness and broke up with him on the spot. She later returned to him when he adopts Jeffy. In Black Yoshi's Mistake!, Mario proposed to Rosalina. Surprised and delighted, she said yes.
In Mario's New Hat!, the two got married. Though she almost called it off when Mario mysteriously disappeared. Once Mario finally showed up as a Frog and explained what happened, Rosalina declared that she didn't care what he looks like, and she loved him for him. Goodman (after comically warning Mario that she'll take everything he owns because she didn't sign the prenup) made them take their vows and they finally got married, with their kiss breaking the spell over Mario.
However, their once healthy relationship took a negative turn...
Eventually in 2020, she got frustrated with Mario when he became very greedy and selfish. However, due to her own unintelligent nature, she tends to give very dumb advice on why Mario shouldn't be greedy, such as in Mario Sells Jeffy! when she thought that people only went to work "for fun" and not to pay for bills, food, and other necessities.
Rosalina occasionally accuses Mario of cheating on her with other women whenever he is gone for a while or doesn't answer her calls. She often contributes Mario's stress and anger by joining in on Jeffy's bad behavior. Rosalina even blames Mario for abusing Jeffy and calling him mean names, despite Jeffy is the one abusing him.
In the start of "Jeffy's Butler!" they are flirting with each other and using couple nicknames, so they most likely do still like each other.
Status: Couple (Neutral)
Jeffy
Rosalina finds Jeffy in a cupboard after Mario spanks ("rapes") him
Rosalina is very nice to Jeffy and shows to love and really care about him. She does not seem to have a serious problem with Jeffy's lack of intelligence and is willing to spend time with him. Rosalina is best described as a "pushover parent", in that she blindly defends everything Jeffy does, even if he misbehaves, making such excuses as "he's just being creative", . She is the positive influence on Jeffy's actions, enabling his behavior. Unlike Mario who sees most of Jeffy's actions as negative.
However, Rosalina sometimes gets frustrated with Jeffy, one example is in Jeffy Gets Potty Trained! when she forced him to eat his peas, but Jeffy demanded marshmallows instead. She also sometimes gets mad at him in recent videos. And in Jeffy's first apperance (Mario the Babysitter!) she did not like Jeffy and was even a little scared of him.
Status: Neutral
D-Money
Rosalina's ex-boyfriend that Mario got jealous over. D-Money broke up with her since she was being dragged along with him too much. Her parents had preferred her dating him instead of Mario.
Status: Friends/Neutral
Bowser Junior/Junior
Rosalina first met Bowser Junior in Jeffy's Birthday!, when Jeffy was about to go on the jungle gym with Junior and his friends, and Junior found her really hot and liked her breasts.
In Smart Jeffy, Junior caught Rosalina's attention by calling her "Busty Tits" and Junior explaining to her what happened to Jeffy.
Rosalina is shown to be nice to Junior, he is shown to have a little crush on her (as Junior told Jeffy that his mother is very hot in Jeffy's Birthday!), but it's unknown if they still have a good relationship since “Jeffy and Junior Sneak to Disney World!”. However, in recent videos, Bowser Junior is shown to dislike her. in Jeffy and Junior sneak to Disney World, he insults her by calling her old. In Among Us, when Rosalina was the first one to report Jeffy. Junior is the first one to call her sus.
Status: Neutral
Nancy
Rosalina has held a grudge against her since Jeffy's Parents! She can't stand her beating up Jeffy. When Jeffy gets taken away, she got frustrated with Mario, yelling that she can't believe he let Nancy take him away, trying to convince him that Nancy beats Jeffy, but Mario shows absolutely no concern, even stating that it's good that she beats him, leading Rosalina to break up with Mario for his heartlessness, albeit temporarily. She resents the woman.
Status: Enemies
Shrek
Rosalina and Shrek dated in Shrek's Coma!, showing that Rosalina likes Shrek and considered him a nice guy. However, they broke up in the same episode.
Status: Friends/Neutral
Bowser/Braxton
Though the two have rarely interacted directly, it can be assumed she dislikes him considering Mario's dream at the beginning of Mario The Babysitter! and she was horrified when Bowser knocks Mario to the ground in The New House! However, in Jeffy Goes To The Zoo!, Rosalina does not intervene when Bowser makes fun of Mario over Harambe's death, even laughing briefly when Bowser tells him that Junior would never do anything bad around gorillas. As seen in Bowser's Mistake! she feels bad for Bowser's Ex-Wife for having to date him.
Status: Friends
Brooklyn T. Guy
It was revealed in Doctor Jeffy! that he has a dislike to her. This could have been done as a joke as if she returns to the main cast he would be reverted to a supporting character in Mario/Jeffy videos.
Status: Neutral
Trivia
In Rosalina's Ex-Boyfriend!, it is revealed that Rosalina's birth sign is Aquarius, which means she was born between January 20 through February 18.
Rosalina's status in the series was unknown between December 2017 to December 2019 as she first went on a hiatus from Jeffy's Bathtime! to The Couch!. She went on an even longer hiatus from Jeffy's Kids! to Jeffy's Switcheroo! (excuse was that the Chinese restaurant she went to had an extremely long line) and then went on another hiatus from Jeffy's Summer School to Bowser's Mistake! (no excuse given) before going on a third hiatus from Bowser's Mistake! to Doctor Jeffy! (excuse was that she was stuck at a stop sign the whole time, and it wouldn't turn green). Afterwards, she seems to appear as an on and off main character just like with Black Yoshi.
It was claimed by Chilly in her Facebook that the real reason why Rosalina hadn't appeared for a while was that her voice actress Elaina no longer works in SML, hence that she attends an out-of-state college far away from Florida. However, she has officially returned in Doctor Jeffy! proving she still exists and has seemed to have returned as an on-and-off main character.
It was later revealed Chilly kicked Elaina out of the house according to Lovell, Logan's manager and later Logan himself, allegedly because Chilly saw Elaina as competition for Logan and his money.
According to Lovell's livestream with Logan, Logan stated that whenever he films a Rosalina video, Chilly would place cameras all over the house, because she doesn't like Elaina, which is possibly why Elaina never appears in Chilly's vlogs.
But since the whole SML cast hates Chilly and her family now, Elaina is happy to be rid of her and is back to voicing Rosalina now.
Rosalina is the only female character to be a main character.
It has been revealed that she is officially married to Mario in Mario's New Hat!
Rosalina states to be a vegetarian, which is considered a common stereotype for certain female characters in media (specifically white women).
Her vegetarianism was undone in Jeffy's Switcheroo!, meaning she likely was on a diet and couldn't eat meat until then.
She returned to not eating meat in Rich Mario! meaning she possibly picked the meat off the pizza or she switches back and fourth and deep down really is Flexitarian.
Though, she was seen at Jimmy John's in Jeffy's Online School! which proves she is a flexitarian.
She has been shown to be a big fan of Star Wars in several videos.
It is possible Bowser Junior causing the gang to move into the apartment is what led to the result of her meeting Mario as shown in Bowser Junior's 11th Birthday!, Brooklyn T. Guy is shown to be homeless if Junior never existed despite Mario also needing his help meaning Black Yoshi might have successfully pressured Mario into killing himself due to not finding the right new girlfriend due to living in a different location.
Prior to Doctor Jeffy!, it was revealed she believed stop signs turned green.
As of now, her age group has never been revealed but it can be assumed she is around the same age as the MarioBros and Peach.
She is the only member of Mario's current family not to have met Luigi depending on if the Luigi's Mansion series is canon.
In a Meet The Cast video for her voice actress Elaina, a puppet version of her has been revealed alongside Bully Bill
Their puppets are now released on smlmerch.com. Also, Rosalina's puppet design has slightly changed from the Meet the Cast design meaning the one shown in the vlog was a prototype.
She is the most hated female character in the series.
Post Jeffy's Bad Word, she only abuses Mario whenever he doesn’t stay out of her way or when he abuses Jeffy. Since Logan is now family friendly, Rosalina doesn’t abuse Mario anymore as of now, she just sometimes yells at him when he acts greedy or cruel.
In Jeffy's 16th Birthday, she briefly mentions about 3 other ex's she's had which are a rapper, an archaeologist, & an astronaut.
In Mr. Goodman's Egg!, it is revealed that she has Ovaphobia, a fear of eggs. Though, this has been retconned out since Jeffy's Easter Eggs! making the previous mentioned video either non-canon or a dream unless the fear returns in a later video.
Rosalina’s personality changed a lot since the start of the Human Puppet era.
Due to the fact she was attracted to Atso's body in "Shrek's Coma!" she is shown to have pedophilic urges.
The Rose Puppet is used on the Swedish TikTok and Youtube called Bumban where Rose is Portrayed as Emelie Bumbi (An infamous Swedish TikTok Beggar) in their parody. [3][4]
In The Acorn, it is revealed that she has a niece named Lucy.
