Rose Bernstein

Rose Bernstein is a character from the The King of Fighers series, where she is a tagalong character with her older brother Adelheid.

She is voiced by Kazuyo Inosako.

Development
Rose and Adelheid were added to widen the worldview of KOF with a separate but connected story to Ash saga.

Personality
Rose is the daughter of Rugal and has an overpowering sense of pride and high-handedness. She's also selfish and moody. If things don't go her way, watch out. Rose is the classic and "sophisticated" girl in the game.

Rose idolizes her older brother Adelheid and is devoted to him. She shares her father's violent temper, but she isn't evil despite this and her arrogance. She is a skilled piano player and owns a panther much like her father. She normally simply tags along with her older brother, but she is the host of KOF XIII.

Fighting Style
Rose does not fight. However, in an interview with Fighters Front Line, Nona stated that she seems to inherit her family's fighting prowess through her skills in fencing.

Skills

 * Management - Together with her older brother, they manage and operate the Sky Noah. With these same skills, they have both jointly hosted three KOF tournaments, the first one alongside Chizuru Kagura, and the third one under Botan's influence.
 * Public Relations - Similar to her father's skill, Rose also holds influences, albeit far more friendly, dubbed a "media darling". She's somewhat a showgirl too.
 * Charisma - Through her own sheer personality, she can easily capture the hearts of people and readily influence them, as seen in KOF XIII cutscenes.
 * Fencing - While she is yet to be seen as a fighter, she apparently knows some fighting through this particular sport.
 * Piano - As seen in KOF 2003, she is a skilled piano player, having played a piece as her older brother fought.

Her management abilities during KOF XIII became subconsciously augmented by Botan's influence.

 * Revolutionary Etude - The King of Fighters 2003 (Shared with her older brother)
