| Overview |
Rose (ローズ, Roozu) is a main character in The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. She is the leader of the Llinger Kingdom Rescue Squad. Although she uses healing magic, she is also a highly capable fighter. Rose used to be a captain of the Order of the Knights but resigned after losing her dearest subordinates as well as her right eye. She forced Usato, who can use healing magic, into joining the Rescue Squad and trained him to be her right-hand man.
Personality[]
Rose in her past was a strong willed and strong headed individual who took large amounts of pride in turning her healing magically affinity into physical force and increasing her physical powers to monstrous heights. Then recently promoted as a Knight captain and believing in the fact that she and those under her command would become unstoppable came crashing down as her entire unit lost their lives to her believing her unhealthy beliefs in overcoming any adversity. She also experienced the way wounded soldiers were treated and on top of questioning her self worth and role in the military realized after ruminating for months that she would make up for her past transgressions and move forward to honor the unit she lost and save lives that could be saved on the battlefield, single handily reducing casualties before forming a Rescue Squad to show it's viabilities to the knights. Because of this; Rose is very brutal and aggressive when she trains healers in such training regiments; she's viewed with misunderstanding and fear by those who do not personally know her. Whenever she hears the magic color green, she will instantly take the healers to join her squad and nobody is able to stop her. She is extremely harsh, which stems from her losing her previous knight squad. Because of her previous experience, she swore to create a subordinate who won't die, much to the displeasure of Ken Usato, the recipient of her training regiment. Very few know the true reason behind her sudden shift to non-combatant duties and those that do support Rose's decisions with a steadfast trust that shows her to be an important leader who is still trusted in military circles.
