History Characters / UminekoWhenTheyCry1986Humans

* ExtremeDoormat: Rosa usually has this behavior in her personal relationship with her father and her older siblings, especially with Eva as she never reacts when the latter provokes her, insults her and generally acts like a BigSisterBully towards her. Eva-Beatrice and Kinzo in Episodes 3 and 4 explicitly accuse her of being a coward who has always fled and hidden from her battles instead of fighting them and even the Rosa of Maria's dream mentions, in her comparing herself with her daughter, that since as a child she always chose to suppress her desire to rebel against the abuses of her family because she feared the consequences.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Like her daughter and father, Rosa does not seem to be mentally stable, given how she constantly switches from being abusive to apologetic in regards to Maria. The multitude of {{Berserk Button}}s she has that quickly make her lose her temper whenever Maria makes the mistake of teasing them make her look like she's suffering from bipolar disorder. [[spoiler:There's also the trauma that she suffered from having seen Beatrice Ushiromiya die as a little girl.]]

* CharacterDepth: Umineko stands out from the rest of the various Visual Novel's for having in its cast many characters very well characterized realistically but among all Rosa is the one that stands out the most, both for being the most complex (and fascinating) on a psychological level and because her entire personality it is entirely based on [=Ryukishi07=]'s personal working experience as a social worker.

* ExtremeDoormat: Rosa usually has this behavior in her personal relationship with her father and her older siblings, especially with Eva as she never reacts when the latter provokes her, insults her and generally acts bully towards her. Eva-Beatrice and Kinzo in Episodes 3 and 4 explicitly accuse her of being a coward who has always fled and hidden from her battles instead of fighting them and even the Rosa of Maria's dream mentions, in her comparing herself with her daughter, that since as a child she always chose to suppress her desire to rebel against the abuses of her family because she feared the consequences.

** In the Tea Party of the second arch, as the last survivor, she is physically forced by Beatrice and the goats to feed on the blood and flesh of her hated siblings and threatened by the witch to hear their cries as they die continuously throughout eternity, relying on fact that in the depth according to Beatrice, Rosa herself felt immense pleasure in all this.

* GoodGirlGoneBad: In the past, she was the kindest and sweetest of the 4 children of the Ushiromiya family and sincerely dreamed of getting married and building a happy family with Maria's father. In the present, she's become the woman who occasionally abuses her only 9-year-old daughter and has no qualms about showing coldness and general insensitivity even towards her older siblings and their families after all the shit she's been through (and that she continues to suffer in the arches).

* ButtMonkey: Being among the first to die in the first arc is getting off easy compared to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath the hell she goes through in later arcs]]. Rosa has only survived past the second twilight ''once'' (of course, she is among the few victims of Episode 5 and 6), and that's just things involved with the murders. Outside of that, Rosa's life is practically a personalized hell for her: Being the youngest, she got picked on by her older siblings, according to Rudolf. In addition to that, if [=EP3=] is to be believed, then she watched Beatrice [[spoiler:II]] ''die'' and blamed herself for the incident, which both ends up being what drives Kinzo off the edge of insanity and is something she has to be reminded of every time Maria references Beatrice. And ''then'' on top of all that, the man she had Maria with runs off to have a family of his own while burdening her with a debt that gives her the futile hope that he'll come back to her if she pays it off, leaving Rosa to raise Maria by herself while taking up a management job she never wanted. Rosa's life is probably the most screwed up among the main siblings bar none, and second only to poor Natsuhi. At the very least, it shows that the only way to really stop Rosa once she's pissed is to practically ''gib'' her.

* FantasyForbiddingMother: A more literal example in that she disapproves of Maria's obsession with magic and the occult.

** The manga of [=EP7=] implies this with [[spoiler:Rosa]]'s murder. [[spoiler:The panel shown when Will is solving the mysteries implies Eva and Rosa got into a heated argument over the gold, causing Eva to push Rosa in a fit of anger, with the result being the latter fell on the railing of the garden and got stabbed through the throat. Maria's death wasn't an accident though. In a panic at killing her sister, Eva [[WouldHurtAChild strangled Maria]] to shut her up and get rid of the witness.]]

** In [=EP3=], [[spoiler:Rosa's murder could be seen as the result of Eva's accident if one wants to play the whole role of Eva in that arc in a more sympathetic way. The manga supports this because the panel shown when Will is solving the mysteries implies Eva and Rosa got into a heated argument over the gold, causing Eva to push Rosa in a fit of anger, with the result which the latter fell on the railing of the garden and got stabbed through the throat.

* NotQuiteDead: After [[spoiler:Kyrie shoots her '''TWICE''' in ''Requiem'''s Tea Party.]] [[PlotArmor Certainly a miracle]], although we won't go as far as to say she was [[[[SarcasmMode "lucky"…]]

* NotQuiteDead: After [[spoiler:Kyrie shoots her '''TWICE''' in ''Requiem'''s Tea Party.]] Certainly a miracle, although we won't go as far as to say she was "lucky"…

* NeverMyFault: Since the beginning of the story, when he is not busy laughing or crying madly invoking the name of Beatrice and the ritual for his resurrection and spends time commenting on the family reunion on the partition of his legacy, Kinzo defines with contempt that Krauss, Eva , Rudolf and Rosa are nothing more than ungrateful vultures ready to feast on his body once he is dead (and not showing the least affection neither for them or their respective children). He never realizes if not in [=EP8=], during the game created by Battler for Ange, that if his children have come to hate him to such an extent, the fault is uniquely only his.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: As shown in his introduction as a young man to Lion and Will, he recounts his happy childhood in Taiwan before being summoned to Japan as a new Ushiromiya Family Head against his will and foster children he never wanted in an arranged marriage. Depressed, he enlisted himself during World War II to end his own life but as he met [[spoiler: Beatrice Castiglioni.]] She was a new purpose for him to live on as they fell in love after they survived the massacre between his men and the Italians. He then helped her hid away from his family members until Bice died of childbirth which made him go off the end as he watched his illegitimate daughter grew up to resemble her mother and [[spoiler:raped her against her will.]] [[spoiler: However in the manga, by the time he met Bice he was already a reprehensible person who instigated the massacre so he could have Bice and the gold ingots for himself after his illegitimate grandaughter and also his [[ChildByRape daughter,]] Sayo discovered the corpses of his fellow soldiers and the Italians.]]

* BigSisterBully: When she was younger, she was constantly lying to her younger sister and teasing her (to the point that Rosa herself in the Tea Party of [=EP2=] states that Eva even ruined her ninth birthday by constantly emphasizing that [[LonelyRichKid she had no friend to invite]]). Unlike her brothers, who nowadays recognize that they had treated Rosa badly when she was a child and they would like to have been better brothers, Eva, although she is much more contained and understanding, still can not stop herself from teasing her sister or to insult her when she is nervous.

** [[spoiler:Of Natsuhi in [=EP7=] Tea Party, which is what happened in the real world. Natsuhi impulsively jumped at Eva while she was carring a gun, which caused an accidental discharge that killed Natsuhi. ]]

* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Of Natsuhi in [=EP7=] Tea Party, which is what happened in the real world. Natsuhi impulsively jumped at Eva while she was carring a gun, which caused an accidental discharge that killed Natsuhi. Rosa's murder could also be seen as such if one wants to play the whole role of Eva in Episode 3 in a more sympathetic way.]]

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: In the sixth game she allows [[EnemyWithout Eva-Beatrice]] to take her place and attack her own son when George declares that he is willing to kill her with his own hands in order to be with Shannon.

Rosa's murder could also be seen as such if one wants to play the whole role of Eva in Episode 3 in a more understanding way.]]

* ManipulativeBitch: As it is shown slowly in some of the episodes in which sufficient attention is paid to her, it becomes very evident that under her facade of ShrinkingViolet which she flaunts towards the other adults on the island, Rosa is actually a ambiguous and deceptive woman that is more than capable of using words as a means to manipulate and irritate others as soon as she perceives that she can take advantage of them. In '' Alliance of the Golden Witch '', in Maria's diary, she is often shown to lie to Maria, her daughter's school, her neighbors, her employees and even social workers about her mysterious travels, as well as ordering Maria to always stay at home and not go out for days when she is away. [[spoiler:Once the truth behind the ''Turn of the Golden Witch'' events is explained, it is clear that [[TheMole Rosa was Sayo's main accomplice]] throughout the all Episode, successfully manipulating Battler's trust and, at the same time, isolating the servants by accusing them of being all guilty because she knew she could not trust any of them.]]

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Rosa is in serious competition with [[spoiler:Sayo]] herself for who of the 2 had the most miserable life.

* AlwaysSecondBest: This is one of the main reasons behind his deep resentment towards Eva, who never made an effort to don't insensibly list the fact that it did not matter how much Krauss himself tried to excel in every academic activity and the results that he got, Eva always got over him and made it clear that she wanted to usurp his position as Kinzo's heir.

* BigSisterInstinct: Despite clarifying and proving several times that she cares only for her family and has no qualms about betraying those of the other siblings, she was deeply scared and disgusted by what [[ShadowArchetype her witch counterpart]] [[ResurrectionDeathLoop had done to Rosa and Maria]] and showed genuine concern for her sister in the fantasy scenes.
