Rose

 Rose is a fictional character that appears in comic books published by Revolt Comics. The character first appeared in a seven page story in the second volume of The Arcadia Anthology, published by Arcadia Comics Collective in September of 2012 and was created by Alice V. Falto. Falto sat down with writer Hernandez and showed what Hernandez refers to as the binder of “awe and wonders” where she keeps all the characters she designs. Alice wanted to create a feminine heroine who was strong but also sexy. Hernandez told Falto to let the character design and the beauty of Rose, underline her sexiness and took it upon himself to shape her into a very stalwart, revenge driven woman whose heart was hardened by tragedy. Hernandez made her a princess without a kingdom and depicted a tragedy on the second issue that also left her without parents. Their first task was to reprint the two issues that they published in The Arcadia Anthology and reprinted in their book Showcase. The pages included better quality of paper and more vivid colors. The publication since has seen three stories of Deadly Rose with more on the horizon.

The exiled would be queen of the kingdom of Eborah is on a quest to kill the man who took everything away from her, even if it kills her.
