Rosalina

Princess Rosalina is the adoptive mother of the Lumas and pilot of the Comet Observatory. She watches over and protects the cosmos

Early Life
Rosalina was born a princess of the Mushroom Kingdom several centuries ago. She lived in the castle with her parents and younger brother. Her family was quite interested in astronomy, with her father owning a powerful telescope. She also wore star themed clothing as a baby, long before she met the Lumas.

Her mother later died of an unknown cause.

Rosalina’s Storybook
One day, young Rosalina found a crashed Starshroom holding a small baby Luma. After hearing the Luma explain he was looking for his Mama, Rosalina promised to help him. For years she took care of the Luma and waited with him, using her father's telescope to try and find Luma's mother. Eventually they decided to repair the spaceship and travel in search of his mama. For days they traveled along asteroid fields and caught Star Bits until finally landing in a turquoise ice comet. After travelling through space for quite some time, Rosalina decided to settle down on the ice comet and assume the role of Luma's mother. Together they built a large home on the ice comet, which would eventually become the Comet Observatory.

As time went on, more Lumas started appearing, each of which was taken in and named by Rosalina. After seeing their 100th comet, Rosalina began to think about her home planet. Using her father’s telescope, she gazed back at the Kingdom where she grew up. With memories of her life there flooding back, she broke down into tears, longing to return home to her family, though knowing that her mother wasn’t there.

For some time after that Rosalina was content, though one day she became sad once again. Luma, tried to cheer her up, but Rosalina’s crying continued. It was then that Luma had an idea. He transformed their home into a comet, allowing Rosalina to travel back to her home planet. Rosalina no longer cried from that day on.

After visiting her home planet, Rosalina decided that the Lumas were now her family and she that she would raise them until they were ready to leave or transform. At this time, the reborn Young Master Luma was welcomed into the Observatory with a party. When in bed that night, Rosalina decided that she would return to her home planet once every one hundred years from then on. As the years went on, the Rosalina’s new family grew and grew, gaining more members than can be counted.

Adulthood
For multiple centuries, Rosalina travelled the universe aboard the Comet Observatory, fulfilling her duties of taking care of Lumas. Every hundred years, she would return to her home planet and fly over the Mushroom Kingdom, causing multiple Star Bits and Power Stars to rain down. This event came to be known as the Star Festival.

At an unknown point, she met Lubba, a purple Luma that would eventually become a leader of his own Luma crew.

Super Mario Galaxy
During a particular Star Festival, Rosalina became a target of Bowser's plans. As the Comet Observatory flew over the Mushroom Kingdom, he used a mysterious force to pull away Star Bits and Power Stars from the starship, sending it into a deep hibernation state and stranded over the planet. Shortly after, Rosalina appeared as a projection to Mario in the Gateway Galaxy Planet, assisting him in escaping it by entrusting Luma in his care. This granted him the power to travel through space and the ability to perform a Star Spin, before sending him off to retrieve a Grand Star. After Mario arrived at the Comet Observatory with the rescued Grand Star, Rosalina offered to help Mario rescue Princess Peach from Bowser if he found more Power Stars to return the Observatory into a powered state.

After Mario returned 114 Power Stars and 6 Grand Stars, the Comet Observatory was once again fully powered, and Rosalina piloted it to the Center of the Universe, Where Mario fought Bowser for the final Grand Star. However, upon removing the Grand Star from Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, it accidentally lead to the creation of a giant black hole, that grew to consume the entire universe.

Rosalina is a very motherly figure.

Physical Appearance
Despite being hundreds of years old, she still has the appearance of a young woman. This is due to the time dilation of space travel rather than immortality.
