❤️Personality
Affectionate, secretive, guilty. Rose has a bleeding heart & does genuinely care a lot for pretty much every cat she's met- but falls short in understanding the deeper nuances of relationships & the impact she might have on others, causing her to feel disconnected from & unintentionally hurting those around her- a fact she's aware of & tries her best to ignore. She left her old group to get away from those who hurt her & live a happier, more fulfilling life, yes, but part of deciding to live alone was also so she could avoid continuing the cycle & hurting others.
Still, she gets overwhelmed & loses her temper easily, and can cause great destruction if she's truly angry- a side of her that she tries not to let others see. She feels immensely guilty for all the people she's hurt in the past, and tries to compensate for it through her actions. She does enjoy helping others, but doesn't let anyone stick around for too long, believing that to be the best for everyone involved.
Oxymoronically, despite her self-loathing, she does have a strong sense of self-respect, and refuses to compromise on who she is as a person. If she recognises that something's going to make her unhappy, she's quick to nip it in the bud. She will fight for her right to live as herself, and for the rights of others, if need be. Her general philosophy concerning this is "Do no harm, take no shit".
Unfortunately, Rose is slowly being recognised by the other cats in the woods as "the nice tall cat that always helps people", and is accidentally beginning to amass a following of others who look to her for leadership & help. While she's glad to be of service... the spotlight & admiration makes her uncomfortable in a way she can't avoid, and it reminds her all too well of her life as Pink Diamond.
