Rose Forster name meaning, her background, and getting to know her (Character analysis when Rose is in different situations)
The Indian culture has always been an amalgamation of all cultures. It has every ingredient from the world it has ever touched yet maintained its true colors and tastes. So, now with the advent of the internet, I daresay that all that is anywhere all over the net is Indian, all languages we can use are Indian, and everything is Indian until it is composed by a true Indian like Subarna.
I should replace the Bloom of my trilogy with the name, Rose and her surname should be Forster. Full name: Rose Mary Forster
Here is what our heroine, Rose, looks like:
Why Rose?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_of_the_roses(Within Catholicism, a miracle of the roses is a miracle in which roses manifest an activity of God or of a saint.)
King and Queen of flowers: Rose is both male and female in her qualities. She is powerful in both ways. Yet, she is a woman and needs to be loved by a man so she loves her best friend and beau, Ryan, who returns her feelings.
This can be a big slap on the faces of those who think that a woman should either be like 'Mardani' to be a warrior or be like 'Shakuntala' to be a romantic heroine. Rose defies all definitions, she is a complete person but no person is complete without love. Ryan is the love in her life. They say that there is a woman behind a man's success, the roles are reversed here, and Ryan is behind Rose's every success.
Why Mary?
The connection between winter roses and the Virgin Mary:
Rosa Mystica- a connection between Virgin Mary and Roses
Also, Rose's mother is called Maria which again means Mary. She must keep her mother a secret for the safekeeping of both of them. Though, everyone knew who her father was.
Why Forster?
Forster is a real surname that many people nowadays bear. It is a surname that sounds like 'frost' and reminds one of winter. Winter roses are related to the Virgin Mary and Rose and Mr. Forster are related to Maria.
Frost in science and popular culture:
Frost is considered damaging but in my trilogy, Frost will be considered beautiful. Frost looks like ice but can be soft like snow too. I have always imagined Rose Forster to be like a pink and white rose with a personality that is funny and mischievous but she is as true to her principles like I am. Yet the white color of the frost is symbolic of her purity.
here are blogs about why people think frost is beautiful:

Frances Forster and Alan Forster
Aunt Frances of Rose who died saving the infant's life: Frances means free one, this name suits her brave aunt. Frances also means the one who comes from France and French women are known for their beauty and unattainability as in fin amors. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances)
Alan and Frances are like Apollo and Artemis, the twins who invented the bow for wars. Apollo is the sun and Artemis is the moon.
Not a boarding school like Hogwarts because Western education never fit well with the Indian culture but something like Gandhiji suggested: Learning by doing and being productive. Besides, Hogwarts is a school that is fun to attend and Rowling being an ignorant Englishwoman cannot think of something better. But, I have decided that Nai Talim will be followed in the world of my trilogy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nai_Talim
https://www.mkgandhi.org/ebks/nayee-talim.pdf
Rose is a princess not by birth but my mind and personality and she has to attend princess-type of things like making all flowers in creation bloom but she is more productive when she fulfills her destiny, when she meets her mentor, the Beast Prince, every grain of her existence reaches its meaning and maximum utility. Rose still remains a princess in grooming and thoughts but her use changes.
Rose Forster's background
Having grown up in a culture that values karma over janma, I find it ridiculous that in the western culture, a heroine or monarch must be born as one by blood. Lineage is not very important to me and Karna of the Mahabharat is seeking justice within my heart. Rose Forster is born to a family whose ancestry had everything to do with maintaining the forests and gardens. Yet to fulfill the prophecy, she has to train under a prince, and that makes her a greater warrior than the rest. She becomes the commander-in-chief when the Beast Prince and his queen, Reika Loveta, ascend to the throne. Rose never leaves her originality or love for nature. The only difference is she is now growing love with her military might and weeding or scaring the remnants of the devil away. She does not have to be born in a royal warrior clan to do so. This is an addition to the English literature I want to make.
Rose Forster is a part of me and so is Ryan. I am Rose and Ryan is my beau, Krishna. Krishna is the creator in my case but it is not why he is my beau. I have written about Ryan loving Rose the way Krishna loves me. Ryan, unlike Krishna, is not the superpower of the universe, but the similarity lya in their love for their heroines, their loves is the superpower in their heroine's universes. Now, I have set them in that part of Harry Potter where Ron is destroying Slytherin's locket horcrux to be faced by his worst insecurities and Harry shouts at him to destroy it. So, let us see what happens when Rose tells her buddies, Ryan, Hermione, and Ronald to stay away from her while she is destroying the Horcrux. By doing this, I get to know Rose and Ryan more and Hermione and Ron more too. I want to name Ron as Cedric because of Cedric Diggory being the best Hufflepuff and Ron has the greatest Hufflepuff qualities. I want to name Hermione as Joanna after Joan of Arc. I want to do justice to Cedric and Joanna by showing them in a new light, as humans with strengths and weaknesses and not merely as sidekicks and comical beings. I don't want Rose to be the heroine like Rowling made Harry a hero. Rowling made Harry a hero by making Ron a laughing stock and Hermione a book smart and lonely girl who only hung out with these two boys for God knows what. Maybe because no one else wanted to be friends with her when Harry and Ron became friends with her out of guilt for having made her cry in their first year. They had said that no one would want to be friends with Hermione and Parvati and Lavender later reported that Hermione was crying because of what they had said. It looks like Hermione never found a friend and these two boys put up with her out of pity and guilt. Gradually, since they were all kids with their hearts in the right places, Hermione decided to be loyal to them and Harry and Ron decided that it was not too bad to have her around because of her knowledge and usefulness. Harry and Ron never respected Hermione for her knowledge and her maturity, it only drove them away from her. Even Ron thinks she is a trophy and Harry being the Chosen One alone could claim the trophy. In the Slytherin's locket incident, Ron's mum calls Harry a better replacement of him and so does Hermione, it all shows that Ron has treated Hermione's heart like his mum's treatment when her kids got something good like Fred and George not getting enough OWLs and Mrs. Weasley admonishing them or throwing party for Ron and Hermione becoming prefects. Rowling herself has said that Ron and Hermione were paired together because the author had some personal reasons. I think I know the personal reason. JK Rowling had compared herself to Hermione Granger and she thought that having a husband who would keep treating her like a trophy wife because he found himself only too lucky to have her affections would be nice. Rowling after all was left penniless to fend for her two kids after the divorce, Harry Potter made her rags to riches stories come true. JKR found unhappiness in her first marriage because she had bonded with him over sharing the same interest in Austen. Rowling might have thought that marrying someone her complete opposite would be a better choice. Rowling does not marry for love or anything, so she can understand Lupin's angst but not understand Lupin-Tonks as a couple. Nor does McGonagall has the guts, according to Rowling, to tell whom she fancied about being a witch because show-offs vanity are more important in Rowling's world than what makes sense. Rowling has made a right mess of what could be a wonderful series, in this respect, she is no less than Reeta Skeeter herself.
I want to know Rose Forster better so I want to know what she would do when faced with a similar scenario.
I remember 'Goblin Market', the poem and how a sister saved a sister from eating the goblin fruit in exchange for a lock of her hair. Here, Rose's brave aunt's voice warns her when she is about to feel pleased by the devil. It shows how the devil lives in every psychopathic womanizer who first pleases then uses then abuses then kills his wife when he has done all the damage he had wanted to do to her. Rose is a girl of integrity, she hates womanizers and casual dating. To her, love is sacred and sex is the sacred union of creation. Yet, when she has rejected so many womanizers earlier, why does she find it difficult to reject the devil now? How does her aunt rescue her and how does her beau's voice pulls her out of her weakness and she destroys the horcrux?
Here is an analysis of Goblin market which will guide the events that Rose had to go through
Outline: Rose had warned all her three best friends to stay away from her when she opened the Horcrux. She feared what lay within it, it could harm them the way it had harmed Ginny.
Here is a fanfic about how Riddle took Ginny's innocence away through that dairy.
Rose does not want her friends to lose their innocence if something of the sort happens because opening the locket is bound to set whatever nasty object lay within free. So, Rose tells her friends that if she returns and does not show them the destroyed locket and acts funny as if possessed then they are supposed to run for their lives and get her entry barred from the headquarters. Then, they need to find her and finish her off with Gryffindor's sword. The friends are worried sick so Rose assures them that she would end up making it. Ryan asks if he can come too, argues with her, but Rose is adamant. She and all her friends fulfilled the prophecy, they were all born in June the same year so she did not want to loose anyone else. She believed that if bringing the downfall of the devil was in her fate then she better fulfill it or at least keep them safe so that they could. Rose creates circles after circles to lock herself away from her friends when she will open the locket but Jo does not agree. Within how many concentric magical circles does Rose lock herself up? Seven symbolizing the seven sins. That is the reason why when her friends worry sick because Rose is taking too long to come out, they try to undo her magical wards but fail because of one sin or other. Only Ryan is able to make it to her not because he is perfect or free from sin but because he becomes love personified at that moment, and love is free from sin so Ryan reaches his lover and unites with her driving her self-doubts away and Rose Forster finishes the horcrux. Then she looks into the eyes of her beau, her lover. Thay are shining overbright with tears, affection, and pride for his lover in turn. These eyes speak to her more compliments than the devil ever had and drive away more fears and doubts than the devil had ever managed to cast. They look at each other or stare, eyes locked and could have stayed that way forever had Jo and Cedric not screamed out: the horcrux is gone, Rosie, now let us in. And, Ryan blinks back tears and steps back for her to undo the wards and she in turn wipes the tears which are falling freely off her happy, shining, reassured eyes and smiles and laughs because Ryan and Rose had finally accepted out loud that they loved each other, knowing Cedric and Jo, there would be no end to it, not that Rose would not like it nor that Ryan would object.
The devil first tries to charm Rose and when the motherly protective voice of her aunt stops her, the devil begins to insult her using her worst insecurities ever. It was that she was evil and meant to wed the devil not Ryan, whom Rosie was so much in love with.
Rose had never liked her connections with the devil. When her aunt's voice admonished her from the core of her soul, the voice told her, 'How can the devil love, you silly girlie? Run, run for your life, run.' (Her aunt had died to save her from the devil but not to save the world. So, her aunt's spirit that lived on in Rose as her protective guardian would only ask her to run. Saving the world was not her Aunt's priority.) And, Rose immediately took a step away from the devil ready to run for her life and womanhood. But, a glint of ruby reaches catches her sight, the Gryffindor's sword, and she suddenly remembers herself and what she was doing there. With every ounce of effort, she lifts the sword high to break the glass. The devil immediately weakens and gets fainter and starts hurling insults at her and her insecurities. Never being accepted as an ordinary girl and being treated as either a demi-goddess like or a she-demon like existence in the public opinion had meant that true love was a prized possession in her life. And, Ryan was her lover. The devil who had first emphasized how beautiful and perfect she was to be wed to the devil not drew on the same set of evidences to emphasize how she was so imperfect for Ryan.
Rose Forster fell down on her knees unable to take it that Ryan would not want her but she still held on to Gryffindor's sword as if her existence depended upon it, in a way, it did. So, Rose was again becoming the food of the devil and the devil would have ended up possessing him had not the sword and what it stood for reminded her of Ryan and how they were fellow Gryffindors. The part of Rose that was pure and belonged to Ryan alone held back as if Ryan who was desperately struggling to get into her wards were holding her back from believing that he would not want her. And, finally Ryan entered having heard for a good while while he was trying to break into her wards about what the devil was saying.
Ryan screamed at the sight of Rose that it was all a lie and that he loved her and she loved him back and marry her and her alone whenever she wanted it. It was enough for Rose to give her all the strength in the world to stab the glass in the horcrux and destroy the devil in it forever. The devil gave a strangled yell of anguish and disappeared. Before she knew it, Rose Forster found herself falling into a heap and sobbing hard and feeling safe and happy in Ryan's embrace. Yes, they loved each other and the devil could not separate them, ever.
When Rose steals the Horcrux from Umbridge and opens it then what happens? Rose is the incarnation of the purity of the Virgin Mary who got corrupted in a world that hailed her as a heroine. Rose is not sure whether opening the Horcrux would do terrible things to her like it did to Ginny or not but here is what happened. Rose's POV:
