Rose

Rose is a fortune teller from Genoa and sensed that Doomsday was approaching, and knew a person of great evil was causing it. She found the source of the evil in Bison and defeats him, thinking she has rid the world of him for good. Unfortunately, by reading her tarot cards she discovered Bison was still alive.

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, she faces Bison once again and finds out that she and Bison share the same soul. Bison outmatches her as he takes total control of her body. There she lay unconscious where Guy (who she meets earlier on when he goes after Shadaloo) finds her. When Bison is killed by Charlie (who sacrificed his own life in the process), Bison’s soul went to his new host, Rose.

Bison stayed in and controlled Rose’s body until a new, albeit weaker, body was made for him during the time of Street Fighter II. Akuma supposedly killed Bison during the second World Warrior tournament with the Shun Goku Satsu, which would send his soul to hell. What became of Rose after this was largely unknown, but The Street Fighter IV Training Guide has revealed that Rose is still alive, but has no memory of what happened to her while being possessed by Bison. Upon learning that he somehow survived Akuma’s Shun Goku Satsu, she enters the new tournament, intending to stop him once and for all. During her participation in the tournament, she runs into Ryu, dead-set in stopping his advancement for his own protection, stating that he is “the last hope”. This results in a fight with much reluctance from both parties.

In her ending, Bison reabsorbs the part of him still left in Rose from Street Fighter Alpha 3. He lets her live and leaves her unconscious, saying she will make excellent fodder for his insatiable spirit.
