Princess Rosalina

Princess Rosalina is the Galaxy Kingdom's princess. She is a very powerful figure because her job is to watch over and protect the cosmos while also being the Lumas' adopted mother and commanding the Comet Observatory. Rosalina's backstory is told in her storybook in Super Mario Galaxy's Comet Observatory's Library. Because she is an unusual heavyweight character in the Mario Kart series, most bios attribute her ability to compete with other heavyweights to her role as the cosmic guardian. Rosalina's emblem is a Grand Star in the Mario series' spinoff installments.

She is a distant cousin of Peach and a distant cousin of Daisy. She appeared in Mario Galaxy alongside Peach, and in Mario Kart Wii alongside Peach and Daisy. She almost appeared as an assist trophy alongside Peach and Zelda in SSBB, but she was removed.

First appearance: Gateway Galaxy
