Rose Lalonde first appears in Volume 2: 'Something Beyond The Sky'. She also appears in Volume Four: 'The Loneliest Girl In The World' in the group end. MSPA reader mentions her by her handle in Volume 5 Route 2: 'I Have Plenty Of Friends'.

On Snapchat

From the reader's point of view, Rose's Snapchat story picks up from where her Canon biography ended.

Rose participates in Halloween in costume as the Kanaya Maryam's ancestor the Dolorosa, matching Kanaya dressed as Rose's Mom. Later, when shit is suitably “SPOOKY”, Rose poses in costume as a team with John Egbert, Dave Strider and Jade Harley.

““John, please don’t be a bitch. I’m unwell, remember?””

— The Homestuck Epilogues: Prologue, Chapter 2

At some point after arriving on Earth C Rose Lalonde falls ill, seeing visions relating to her becoming her Ultimate Self. She relates some of these visions to John Egbert and informs him that in order to maintain the canon he must travel back into the Furthest Ring and defeat Lord English once and for all. Rose's life on Earth C differs depending on whether John follows through with this mission or not.

Teen Rose

After John uses his retcon powers to zap from the epilogues back into the story proper, he recruits god tier Rose from some unknown point in canon, presumably after the meteor's arrival in the B2 session, for the mission to fight Lord English. He then brings Rose, along with the other teen beta and alpha kids, to his own backyard on April 6th, 2009. As John gets lost in nostalgia, Dave asks John what happens to everyone in the retconned timelines, and Rose seconds the concern, specifically citing Kanaya. John struggles to answer, but gives a lukewarm speech about sacrifice, and the group begins a messy planning session for the coming battle. John walks away for a while as everyone reunites, and when he returns, Roxy is sitting in the grass with Rose. John hesitantly approaches the group and Rose approaches him, helping him to vocalize that it's time for the group to head out. Everyone gets up, holds hands in a circle, and zaps away. They find themselves in a strange, dark place. Jade quickly sniffs out Caliborn, who has an intense staredown with John, brags about his “MASTERPIECE”, and laughs at them all as the fight begins. Not many details are given of the ensuing battle, but the narration seems to indicate the kids put up more of a fight against the cherub than the initial claymation had implied. Caliborn eventually feels overwhelmed and unleashes the Juju on the four beta kids, much to their shock. They all get sucked into it almost instantaneously, and Caliborn laughs at them as he returns the Juju to the chest and closes it.

After landing in the impossibly bright white prison, Rose quickly tries to account for the rest of the group being present and safe, with John finally answering her last. She is relieved and slumps against the wall. Each of the kids is secluded from the others in one of the four main chambers that the Juju contains, and as shown in Act 7, this matches their arrangement on the exile stations' computer monitors. From below, Dave and Jade are discussing how they respectively can't feel time or space within the prison. As the fight between the alpha kids and Caliborn rages louder outside, Rose tries to ask John what her future self's plan was. John tries to fill her in, but none of them can hear each other no matter how loud they shout. Once John gives up on shouting, Rose apparently remains quiet for a while as Dave and Jade loudly reminisce below. John eventually chimes back in with more success to shout to the other kids that “THE JUJU HAS TO UNLOAD”, and all they can do is wait (for quadrillions of years, from an outside perspective).

After the Juju's eternity in the Furthest Ring and Homestuck Canon, Vriska eventually unleashes it against Lord English, and John and the others emerge from the Juju just after Vriska is sucked into the black hole herself. Rose, Dave, and Jade stand confused and frightened behind John as they all take in the scene of the black hole, the ghosts falling into it, and Lord English himself. The Juju disappears behind the four of them, and John pulls out one of his best strife hammers. The teens follow suit, including “Rose knitting light around her with the Quills of Echidna”. She begins to warn the others about sticking to the plan, but is interrupted by Lord English attacking the group with a wave of energy. Rose is the only one struck by it, and she dissolves into light as she dies a Heroic death.

Adult Rose

While Dirk is performing live on his television show, shortly after hanging up on a call he had with Dave, Rose calls him as well. He absconds from the studio early to take Rose's call, and she explains her condition to him. Her Seer of Light powers are expanding rapidly, more than her mind can physically keep up with. She refers to this process as "“ascension”." Rose frequently shuts down Dirk's interruptions, citing her lack of energy to deal with his mannerisms today. Dirk, to Rose's surprise, says that he is "“suffering from the same condition”." He continues to field Rose's frustration with him as she asks why he didn't discuss it with her sooner, since he's been aware of her problem for a while. He says he's been working on a solution, and that Rose should go meet him at his studio later to discuss it more. He says he can't get in depth on the call because he's too busy with his current political aims, and hangs up on her.

Rose wakes up in the hospital following John Egbert's decision to eat the candy. Her wife, Kanaya Maryam, is at her bedside when she awakens. Her and Kanaya discuss the troubled nature of their relationship over the past few years, and reconcile.

Kanaya resumes her work with the mother grub and life, to an extent, goes back to normal, the way it was before Rose was crippled by her migraines. Kanaya declares that they will be very happy now. Shortly after their discussion about their imminent marital bliss, a clone of Vriska hatches from an egg laid by the mother grub, as the slurry used to impregnate her is genetic material from the original 12 trolls. Kanaya and Rose decide to adopt the baby Vriska clone and their little family lives up to the premonition that they will live a placid and joyful life — though it is not uninterrupted by outside events. Rose and Kanaya join Karkat's troll resistance effort, and their daughter is eager to eventually join as well. Rose thanks John before the battle between Jane Crocker and Karkat Vantas' armies breaks out, for deciding not to go back into canon and fight Lord English. This gave her a chance to be happy, without concern for other timelines. They hug.

Rosebot crews the Theseus alongside Terezi Pyrope and Dirk Strider, with whom she discusses the ship's imminent arrival on Deltritus. Upon landing, she and Dirk engage in a session of philosophy before beginning their game, which is to engineer two alien species to participate in Sburb in competition with each other. Meanwhile, Rose and Terezi discuss Dirk's plan to restore canon and Rose's feelings on the matter. Terezi stirring up a tense discussion between them seemingly ends in a pitch affair;^{[citation needed]} Dirk merely remarks that they two have been "spending time with each other."^{[citation needed]}

Eventually, it became clear that Rose's engineered species would be aquatic while Dirk's remained terrestrial, so the team's base of operations was transported “(via Bullshit, of course)” to a location straddling the land and the sea.

Over the course of her game with Dirk, Rose's interest waned and her patience frayed, but she remained a worthy rival to her ectobiological father; though the “tedious minutiae” tired her, she was ready to “appear before [their] chosen peoples as a harbinger of their simultaneous doom and salvation”, and updated her wardrobe to match. In spite of this, Dirk senses that Rose is becoming disinterested in their work, and seems to consider enacting his manipulations on her directly before being interrupted by Rose's expression of gratitude for the opportunities he has given her, and the two look over the planet of their design with a familial understanding.

With many of her other friends “getting married and having babies” and neither of them able to conceive with their other partners, Rose and Jade make a deal to have a biological child together. Agreeing to Jade's prerequisite to leave the child under the care of Jane Crocker, who she believed would be her only chance to “grow up as a normal kid with a normal life”, Rose keeps their decision a secret from her wife Kanaya Maryam because to her the outcome always seemed “inevitable” and she knew Kanaya would forgive her.

Fifteen years later, and in the midst of receiving news about her other daughter Vriska's involvement in the hiding of Gamzee Makara's murder, Jade brings the news that Yiffany has been abducted by Jane Crocker's forces. Rose's duplicity finally unveiled, Kanaya bitterly states her assuredness that this “Is Not Something That Will Undermine [Their] Relationship”. The rebels storm Gamzee's state funeral, finding Jane with Yiffany in a shock collar, though Jake English, acting as a double agent, sets the child free to wreak havoc on the proceedings. Jade reunites with Yiffany while Kanaya threatens Jane with her teeth to Tavros Crocker's neck.^{[citation needed]}

The burning need to address the “IMMENSE BAGGAGE” between the three women cuts short any heartfelt reunion with Rose and Jade's daughter. Rose's stoic and matter-of-fact attitude toward the highly emotional issue only serves to further inflame her wife's feelings on the matter, and the tension is only broken by the sudden and unexpected arrival of Tavros on the scene.
