Rose

Fable Wiki – Your guide to everything Fable.

Rose is the sister of the Hero of Bowerstone in Fable II, whom she nicknames "Sparrow" after a bird defecates on the child's head. She takes on the responsibility of looking after her sibling following the unexplained death of their parents. The pair live on the streets of Bowerstone Old Town in an open hut, but are friendly with some locals. Rose is frequently harassed by Arfur, who is implied to want to prostitute Rose in exchange for money and food; a proposal she vehemently rejects.

During the events of Childhood, Rose and Sparrow collect five gold pieces and purchase a "magical music box" from Mystical Murgo, following prompting from Theresa. Later, after the music box is activated and disappears, they are summoned to Fairfax Castle by Lucien.

Lucien discovers that the pair have Hero blood, but ultimately determines that one of them is "the fourth"; a Hero who will halt his future plans. He shoots Rose, and attempts to kill the Hero, but fails. She is seen later, in the Perfect World dream sequence.

Rose is notably skeptical regarding magic and the Old Kingdom, although she confesses to having had "hope" after purchasing the music box. Her diary can be found in Old Town, near the area that Rose and Sparrow's shack used to occupy.

[edit] Resurrection

Rose can be resurrected, along with the rest of the Hero's family, if the "Choice Of Love" is chosen at the end of the main plot. Although Rose is not seen again in-game, the Hero receives a letter where she states she is staying with an "odd, hooded figure", believed to be Scythe due to her mentioning "he looks like a king" (he was an Archon). Also, the fact that he wears armour and "is very thin" and "wears a hood". She cannot be located, even though she says she's in a "big forest, with lots and lots of trees" though it does not refer to Brightwood or Oakfield.

[edit] Notes

• In her diary she writes about a book she read (possibly from her parents) that tells of a girl who fights snow monsters, this could refer to Briar Rose, possibly the origin of Rose's name.
  • She has another diary in the A Perfect World quest.
• In A Perfect World if you are to search the cupboards or drawers you find strange scrolls with arcane writing on them, suggesting that the parents of Rose and the hero may be more than just farmers.
• In the opening sequence of Fable II it is possible to move away from Rose while the birds excrements are falling down on the Hero's head. To do that, quickly press the X button and move away from Rose while swinging the sword. If you traveled far enough, it will look like Rose it talking to herself.
