Rose Red




This article is about the Fairy Tale Character. For the horror movie, see Rose Red (film) .

Rose Red (or '''Rose-Red''') is a character in the Fairy Tale Snow-White And Rose-Red by the Brothers Grimm . Of the two title characters, Rose-Red is portrayed as the more adventurous of the two devoted sisters.

Rose Red appears in the Fables Comic Book . She was estranged from her sister Snow White for many years, partly from jealousy at her sister's greater fame---at one point Snow White survived a wound that would have killed almost anybody else, and the Fables believe that the more popular one's story is, the harder one is to kill permanently. When she became the administrator of the upstate New York "Farm" residence for non-human-looking Fables, and thus became Snow's equal in rank, the sisters reconciled, and Rose now happily dotes on her nieces and nephews. She was involved with Jack o'the Tales (of Jack And The Beanstalk and Jack The Giant-Killer fame) for some time, mainly as a way to irritate her sister, who disapproved of Jack. Since she split up with Jack, she was involved with Wayland Smith .
