Rosalina's Weirdly Consistent Modesty
Rosalina's Weirdly Consistent Modesty
Have you ever noticed that Rosalina has consistently shown the least amount of skin between her, Peach and Daisy (and in more recent years Pauline) when they are put in alternate outfits?
I promise this post won't be creepy or puritanical, this is strictly about character analysis.
Believe it or not, Mario & Sonic started this trend (as far as I know). These are their Rhythmic Gymnastics outfits:
She's the only one who has sleeves.
These are their beach outfits/swimwear:
Rosalina shows the least amount of skin; you can't see her midriff nor can you see her thighs.
These are their doctor uniforms:
She doesn't show her legs.
These are their tennis outfits:
She's the only one wearing leggings.
These are their golf outfits:
Again, Rosalina completely covers her legs whereas Peach and Daisy don't. Pauline here is wearing trousers, and is therefore covering her legs, but unlike Rosalina with her that isn't usually the case when it comes to sports attire.
And in Battle League:
Despite there being customizable clothes, she is the only one of the four human girls to permanently have tights and sleeves, they cannot be taken off.
Rosalina's consistently modest clothing is a great and effective way of showing and emphasizing her mature and reserved nature. Especially in comparison to the other girls, with their outfits suggesting that they're more playful, youthful and flirty (Peach in particular), or sporty, outgoing, and willing to show off (Daisy in particular). Rosalina's clothes also add to her mysterious nature by physically and literally hiding parts of herself away.
Ain't character design fun?
This post is about the clothes, but I like how in their Mario & Sonic renders; Peach strikes an elegant pose, and Daisy waves confidently at the camera with a hand on her hip, but Rosalina is the only one who doesn't look directly at the camera (as if she is avoiding eye contact) and clasps her hands around her knee. Her body language is literally closing herself off. However, one leg remains outstretched, showing she's still capable of reaching out to others, even if she's not as extroverted or cheery as Peach or Daisy.
Even body language can say a lot.

URGENT 🚨
Attention please 🙏
I am Maria from Gaza, an eight-year-old girl. The occupation destroyed everything we owned and deprived me of the school I was waiting for impatiently. My family and I fled to Egypt to feel some security after the fear I and my brothers had.But here the school needs money and we do not have anything and I hope to learn, I hope you help me achieve my wish🙏
Please help us get out of life's crises and the woes of war.
