[[folder:Default Characters: Babyface]]
!!Reiko Hinomoto
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorikoHidaka (Japanese), Bianca Allen (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/MichelleRuff (''Rumble Roses XX'', ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence]]'') (English)

[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/reiko_2b_4035.png]]

* AllAmericanFace: Japanese in this case as she loves her country. Her superstar outfit is based on the Japanese flag.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch:
** Obvious within her own family to the point Evil Rose will protect her at all cost, but many Roses of the division such as Dixie, Aisha, and Anesthesia already know of her despite Reiko never meeting them because of said Roses knowing of either of her mother or older sister. She doesn't get this in terms of appearance as Candy Cane does, however, and Reiko is also in general more mature and level headed than Candy Cane.
** In Reiko's own story mode Anesthesia taunts Evil Rose quite harshly for "losing to her own baby sister" after Reiko defeats Evil Rose. Anesthesia also rubs in Evil Rose's face that Reiko will be the one in the "Mother Daughter Showdown".
* BadassAdorable: While Reiko is a capable wrestler, she is seen asking her deceased mom to watch over her and she is a fangirl of Aisha.
* BigDamnHeroes: Trailers for ''Rumble Roses XX'' has Reiko pull this in a manner that would do Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] or Wrestling/JohnCena proud.
* DamselInDistress: Odd example as Reiko is the main character, but most marketing/official art depicts her in this way, from losing to Dixie in trailers, to being kidnapped by Anesthesia. Most of the time, it's either Dixie or Noble Rose saving her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: The picture of Reiko here is from ''Rumble Roses XX'', originally her character's hairstyle was a young girl bob/pageboy hybrid. In ''XX'' it's become wilder, more boyish to fit her bolder attitude.
* {{Fangirl}}: Reiko is a big fan of Aisha's. Too bad Aisha treats her with disdain when they meet, believing that Dixie must have been "trippin" to be excited over Reiko and that Kamikaze Rose must have been spinning in her grave.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Dixie.
* FauxActionGirl: In the first game. While Reiko is considered the face of the company and has a strong reputation based on her heritage, outside of her own story mode, she is a young rookie who isn't very skilled (yet), and is extremely easy to defeat. Most of the overseas marketing shows Reiko losing to Dixie via submission/passing out as well. This changes in ''Rumble Roses XX'', as by this point, Reiko is more experienced.
* MeaningfulName: Her surname literally translates to "Player One" in Japanese. Also, "Rei" can mean "Zero", hence her wrestling moniker "Zero Fighter".
* MommasBoy: Frequently asks her mother in heaven to watch over her, and fights her matches and advances in her goals for her mother's sake.
* MyHeroZero: Her wrestling moniker is "Zero Fighter".
* NoSympathy: Apparently, as we learn in Makoto and Evil Rose's storylines, Reiko's mother used to tell her that "there is no mercy in combat". This is played gently, however; it just means Reiko never holds back when she fights.
* RaceQueen: Besides modelling, this was her other job in Japan while training to be a wrestler.
* SpecialGuest: She's a guest character on the special edition ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''.
* SupermodelStrut: Moreso than the other characters, Reiko is in full-on supermodel mode during her entrance, essentially using the entranceway as her runway as she struts to the ring.
* SweetTooth: Reiko just talks about her love of ice cream and other treats in an interview.
* ToBeAMaster: Reiko's goal is to be the greatest wrestler the world has ever seen, to make her mother in heaven proud of her.
* WeakButSkilled: Reiko has some of the lowest health/resistance in the game, and is considered weak by most of the roster. She can, however, do double moonsaults and a long variety of suplexes/holds, so she works around her negatives.

!!Dixie Clemets
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoKaida (Japanese), Lilia Silva (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/JessicaStraus (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dixie_4b_241.png]]

* AllAmericanFace: Her superstar gimmick.
* AssKicksYou: In ''Rumble Roses XX'', she has a move that can be performed on a downed foe in a corner which involves her slamming her ass into her opponent's face three times. She ends this by running off the opposite side ropes, and delivering a running butt slam.
* TheBigGuy: She's the tallest and strongest among the regular wrestlers and in personality she's a BoisterousBruiser.
* BigDamnHeroes: In Aisha's storyline, Aisha doesn't notice Lady X get back and attack after Aisha beats her, so Dixie charges into the ring and attacks Lady X.
* BuxomBeautyStandard: Dixie seems to have larger-than-usual breasts. Both Aigle and Candy Cane comment on them in their respective storylines.
* {{Cowboy}}: Her gimmick.
* {{Expy}}: Like [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Tina Armstrong]], Dixie's a blonde, big breasted American wrestler who is one of the most predominant non-Asian females in the cast.
* {{Fangirl}}: Dixie ''used'' to greatly look up to and admire Kamikaze Rose; now that Kamikaze Rose is dead, this is Dixie's motivation for her rivalry with Kamikaze Rose's youngest daughter, Reiko. Though this doesn't seem to extend to Fujiko.
* FriendlyRivalry: With Reiko.
* KillerBearHug: As a sign of how strong she is physically, she can hoist up her opponent and bear hug them.
* IsntItIronic: Her entrance song is "Yankee Rose", even though she's from the DeepSouth.[[note]]Outside of the U.S., many countries use Yankee to mean anyone from the U.S., where Americans use it to refer to those living above the Mason/Dixon line, but particularly the Northeastern U.S. A Southerner is liable to take "Yankee" as something of an insult.[[/note]]
* OnlySaneMan: Acts very much like a professional wrestler, as opposed to most of the cast who seem to totally buy into the {{kayfabe}}.

!!Aisha
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ReikoKiuchi (Japanese), Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge (''Rumble Roses''),[[note]]Credited as Pari Banyan.[[/note]] Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aisha_3b_7594.png]]

* BigDamnHeroes: In Dixie's storyline, after Dixie beats Lady X the final boss, Lady X charges at Dixie as she is trying to catch her breath, but Aisha suddenly shows up and saves Dixie on the grounds that she wants nobody other than herself to take Dixie down.
* IKnowKungFu: She wears black MMA-style gloves, uses armbars, and the ground n' pound. In ''Rumble Roses XX'', she adds mounted knees.
* TheMinnesotaFats: With Dixie. Unusually, it's not ''just'' because Dixie once defeated Aisha. As Aisha explains before their match in her storyline, it's also because Aisha was born poor and had to work her way up to wealth, while Dixie has always had money. Also, in Aisha's opinion, Dixie always "acted like the queen of high school."
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Her moves and appearance are blatantly inspired by several different pop starlets, with Music/{{Beyonce}} being the most obvious.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Despite how mad Aisha is at Dixie, she actually saves Dixie in the latter's ending because she is going to be the one to take Dixie down.
* ShakingTheRump: Both her regular and Superstar intro has this. Her tag introduction with Mistress also has this.
* UnknownRival: Aisha is one to Dixie; Dixie didn't have a clue "what she ever did to Aisha" until Aisha explained herself just before their match.

!!Makoto Aihara
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuiHorie (Japanese), Lisle Wilkerson (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/CarrieSavage (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makoto_b_6440.png]]

* BadassAdorable: She's a judoka who treats every match as a learning experience.
* CatchPhrase: "Time to psych up! Fight!! Fight!! Fight!!" She says this twice: once at the beginning of her own storyline, and once in Reiko's storyline before Reiko and Makoto's match.
* GenkiGirl: She is always psyching herself.
* GlassCannon: Her up grapple while her opponent is laying down is very powerful and builds up damage to her opponent's head and humiliations as well as Makoto's own bar rather quickly. She isn't as sturdy as even Becky however and is bearly more sturdy than Benikage so she won't be taking too much hits before she is down for the count.
* IdolSinger: Her superstar gimmick.
* TheMinnesotaFats: With Aigle, but a much more mild example than Aisha with Dixie. Makoto does not hold a grudge against Aigle like Aisha does with Dixie; rather, Makoto thinks Aigle is strong because Aigle beat her before and Makoto wants to get strong enough to beat Aigle. They're rather civil to each other even before they become friends.
* PintSizedPowerhouse:
** While Makoto doesn't have power based attacks in her own arsenal, she can, due to the game's reversal mechanics, reverse the H-Move of a power based bigger girl that Makoto is usually the prime victim of and put ''them'' in the position.
** When teaming with Aigle, who is the game's definition of pint sized powerhouse herself, they can perform the creatively named "Makoto and Aigle's Finishing Move". This attack sees both Makoto and Aigle lift their opponent up and drop the victim on her head. While Makoto does have assistance from Aigle in this instance, Makoto does hold her end of the attack quite well.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Makoto believes in this. Her theory is that everyone has inner weaknesses they try to hide, but friends can help each other overcome them and become stronger. The power of friendship works in this example; it allows Makoto to break Aigle free of Anesthesia's brainwashing in her storyline, much to Anesthesia's disgust.
* WeakButSkilled: She's among the physically weakest of the girls in the game but she makes up for it by being an Olympic level judoka.
* YamatoNadeshiko: She compliments Candy Cane and Reiko after beating them. Reiko has to tell Makoto to lay off the "Miss" stuff. She thinks all her matches are learning experience for her to grow stronger, whether she wins or loses. [[spoiler:This is how she's able to break Aigle's brainwashing later on in her storyline, and Reiko is heavily taken aback in her storyline when Makoto shows up brainwashed by Anesthesia into being coldhearted.]]

!!Aigle
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukaInokuchi (Japanese), Terry Osada (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/SandyFox (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aigle_b_5454.png]]

* ACupAngst: Implied to have this before and after her match with Aisha. It is also implied that she has this before her match with Dixie.
* AnimalMotifs: Goats, her outfit has some fur and her Superstar outfit is literally her dressed as one (as much as you can be dressed in this kind of game). Her Super Star intro has her chasing one and only catching it when it gets to the ring.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Oddly averted with her default, despite her clothes showing most of her belly and some of her hips Aigle wears two rings that very specifically block the belly button. She is this with her [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rumble-roses/images/e/e3/SS_Aigle_2%2C_v1.0.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110719100940 played straight]] with her Superstar outfit, however.
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Her outfit for the most part.
* HiddenDepths: Though you only get to see them if you're playing as her. First of all, Aigle notices right off the bat that Evil Rose isn't really evil and comments that Evil Rose has a sad look like a "wounded wolf". Second of all, Aigle has the "heart of a hawk", which is how she's able to figure out that Anesthesia's offer to make her stronger was made with a "serpent's tongue." And finally, when Makoto gets brainwashed into the Black Belt Demon in Aigle's storyline, Aigle manages to break through the brainwashing. Suffice it to say, while Aigle isn't speaking in her native language, and thus unfairly comes across as a simpleton, she's definitely no idiot.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Aigle's usually pretty nice, but her reaction to the sight of Dixie's breasts is to exclaim that the cowgirl has "teats more magnificent than [her] sheep."
* KillerBearHug: A sign of how strong Aigle is, the powerful Dixie is the only other wrestler with a bear hug move.
* MaleGaze: Aigle looks at Aisha's body before and after their match. She also looks at and compliments Dixie's breasts before their match.
* MeaningfulName: Even though she's Mongolian, Aigle is French for "Eagle".
* MotherNature: Not in a literal sense but her superstar title goes from being "The Nomad" to "Mama Nature".
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In Makoto's storyline, Aigle promises not to lose and makes Makoto promise not to lose either so they can have their match later.
* PainToTheAss: Uses an attack where she tosses her opponent while turning them, leading to them landing in a seated position. The opponent visibly sells the attack momentarily while Aigle can start her next attack. Shared with her evil counterpart Great Khan.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Aigle is the game's primary example. Despite her only being 5'5 (tied with Makoto for shortest) most of her moveset involves her tossing her opponents around which can includes the 5'11 Dixie Clemets, a man clown taller and heavier than said Dixie, and even a fully adult bear.
* RealMenLoveJesus: Aigle always refers to the Great Father when she speaks.
* StoneWall: Has the highest defense in the division aside from the robots.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Aigle refers to herself in the third person.
* YouNoTakeCandle: English/Japanese isn't Aigle's first language, since she's from Mongolia. Consequently, Aigle has problems with pronouns and contractions, thus unfairly making her sound like more of an airhead than she really is, in a manner similar to [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Shampoo]]. This was tone down in ''Rumble Roses XX'', making it so that she only slips into this type of speaking on occasion.

!!Miss Muriel Spencer
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SatsukiYukino (Japanese), Rachel Walzer (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/KarenStrassman (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/spencer_1b_7452.png]]

* BadassTeacher: She prefers to stress the fact she's a teacher. The fact she can suplex people is just gravy as far as she's concerned. In her storyline, it turns out there's actually a reason why she's so good at suplexing despite being a teacher: it's because in her college days, ''before'' she became a teacher, she used to be captain of the wrestling team.
* BespectacledCutie: She wears a pair of glasses.
* HotTeacher: She's a beautiful woman whose primary occupation is that of a teacher.
* ImprobableAge: She's 28. It's said that, prior to being a teacher, she was the captain of her school's wrestling team, which explains how she carries her weight in the tournament.
* LiteralAssKicking: Miss Spencer can literally target the rear end of her opponent with [[https://rumble-roses.fandom.com/wiki/File:Vs200705-003.JPG Atomic Drops]] to the tailbone for as long as [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/rumble-roses/images/7/71/Vs200705-007.JPG/revision/latest?cb=20200706060524 she wants to]], something that's unique to her in ''Rumble Roses XX''.
* MisplacedKindergartenTeacher: She joins the fray when seeking Candy Cane out.
* OldMaid: She's 28 and single.
* OnlySaneMan: With the exception of Dixie, she's pretty much the most level headed character in the cast, mainly by virtue of not giving a crap about the kayfabe the other characters take seriously.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: ''Rumble Roses XX'' allows players to swap the introductions of the Roses, letting you have Becky perform Yasha's ninja entrance for example. Miss Spencer's Superstar entrance is hard coded to show Miss Spencer wearing her default outfit as part of the start despite who is actually performing it.
* SuplexFinisher: Her finishing move is the Tricolour Suplex Hold, starting with a standard German suplex, followed by a Dragon Suplex (full nelson into a belly to back suplex), and finally a bridging Tiger Suplex (rear double underhook into a belly to back suplex) with a pin.

!!Anesthesia
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiOrikasa (Japanese), Donna Burke (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/WendeeLee (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anesthesia_2b_1129.png]]

* BigBad: And a non-spoiler example, since even in storylines where she first shows up as a friend offering an opportunity, such as in Makoto's storyline, Anesthesia's "offer" is heavily loaded with creepy undertones, and whichever girl the player is playing as is heavily creeped out by it. In Reiko's storyline, Anesthesia's first ''introduced'' as the bitch who brainwashed Reiko's sister. Also, as we learn in her own storyline, her "big plan" is to perfect Lady X as a weapon and radically alter the balance of global military power, but not as a "merchant of death" - it's not about the money, it's about a desire to fill this world with fear and suffering.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Considering she's a face, even though she makes no real attempt to hide her bitchiness.
* DealWithTheDevil: In most storylines other than hers, Anesthesia offers the girl in question an opportunity to become even stronger. They all refuse for different reasons; Makoto wants to get stronger through training and perseverance, Aisha finds Anesthesia creepy and wonders what her deal is, etc.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Anesthesia seems to have trouble comprehending that humans are capable of experiencing emotions ''other'' than the "jealousy, hatred, and humiliation" that she cites in her storyline's intro sequence. For example, when Reiko and Dixie act in a friendly manner after their match despite being huge rivals, Anesthesia's reaction is to wonder if they're going to ''hug'', and then claim she's going to be ''sick''. She has a similar "going to be sick" reaction when Aigle and Makoto act in a friendly manner despite being huge rivals. This also ends up derailing her plan if the player is playing a face storyline; typically Anesthesia brainwashes someone, but that someone is then snapped out of it by the power of friendship.
* HoistHeroOverHead: A somewhat funny aversion. Her creation, Lady X, can lift the roses over her head with one arm. The problem is Anesthesia herself isn't exempt from this. She also isn't exactly a "heroine".
* HospitalHottie: She's beautiful woman who wears a nurse's outfit.
* LightIsNotGood: The game designates her as a "face," but she's transparently evil from the get go.
* MadDoctor: She likes to experiment on other women.
* NaughtyNurseOutfit: Her nurse outfit has a NavelDeepNeckline.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her nurse's outfit has a plunging neckline that ends just above her crotch.
* PsychoLesbian: She has some really blatant subtext for most of the cast, and a remark she makes about "Miss Walsh" (Candy Cane) has Miss Spencer rather understandably worried for her student's continued state of virtue.
* SexyStewardess: Her superstar gimmick.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Anesthesia is the primary villain of the franchise. And this is the ''face'' version of the character.
* {{Underboobs}}: In her superstar outfit.
* WhamLine: Minor example in Reiko's storyline when Reiko expresses a desire to make her mother "up there" proud of her: [[spoiler:"UP...there? Hm? She could be DOWN there for all you know. Right next to your sister." It's sort of true; it turns out Lady X, the final boss, is a cyborg made from Reiko's mother's DNA.]]

[[folder:Default Characters: Heel]]
!!Bloody Shadow/Benikage
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Aki Sasaki (Japanese), Lenne Hardt (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/benikage_1b_11.png]]

* DarkIsNotEvil: She's only a heel because the game says so. She's no more evil, sinister, or even somewhat rude in her Bloody Shadow/Benikage persona than she is as Judgment/Yasha.
* FragileSpeedster: She has the highest movement speed of the division of all the human girls. However, despite her being on par with Reiko in terms of size and build, she's easily the most fragile. When she is hit, the opponent gains noticeably more Killer Move meter than against other opponents and it doesn't take much punishment from Lady X Subsistance before Benikage is down for the count.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: She's a ninja who's barely wearing anything at all.
* IWorkAlone: Due to a certain event that happens in Bloody Shadow's storyline, at the end she decides she owes allegiance to no entity at all, even refusing to team up with Noble Rose.
* TheInfiltration: Bloody Shadow isn't actually a heel; she's a member of an unidentified Japanese ministry and she's been sent to investigate the shenanigans going on behind the Rumble Roses tournament. This is not a spoiler, by the way, since it's the very first thing we hear from her narrative voice at the beginning of her story mode.
* MaskOfPower: With an oni mouth etched on it, no less.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: [[spoiler:After she begins fighting independently rather than for any organization, she tosses her mask away as a symbol of this and fights without it for the final few matches of her story.]]
* {{Ninja}}: Her primary occupation.
* NinjaLog: When she initiates a reversal.
* NinjaRun: She does this and is the fastest running human in the game.
* OnlySaneMan: While Dixie is this in terms of personality and levelheadedness, Benikage is this through her training. She knows why the heel versions of the other Roses act the way they do, though she does have some confusion why Candy Cane/Becky are in the division.
* PrecisionFStrike: "You bitch, die"!
* SpottingTheThread: Bloody Shadow is unique in that she can tell when someone's been brainwashed even ''before'' they start talking like the Hulk and ranting about killing people. How? It turns out anyone who's been brainwashed gets a tattoo near their breast, and since Bloody Shadow's a trained government agent, she can spot this in advance.
* TooMuchAlike: Bloody Shadow's storyline revolves around her investigating the brainwashing scheme that turns women into "puppets", but near the end, it turns out [[spoiler:her boss has betrayed her and sold her to Anesthesia, like a "dog". This makes Bloody Shadow mad enough to turn into a "wolf", to use her metaphor, and scuttle Anesthesia's scheme anyway.]]
* VaporWear: Her outfit leaves little to the imagination.

!!Evil Rose/Fujiko Hinomoto
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MitsukiSaiga (Japanese), Xanthe Smith (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evil_b_6379.jpg]]

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Has this towards Reiko, it is so strong that it singlehandedly undid her brainwashing.
* BigDamnHeroes: In Reiko's storyline, at one point, Anesthesia sneak-attacks Reiko after the player wins a match against Anesthesia, but Evil Rose shows up to bail Reiko out before Anesthesia can do too much damage.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Thanks to Anesthesia.
* TheDragon: To Anesthesia, both literally (in her superstar appearance) and metaphorically.
* HeroAntagonist: In Reiko's story arc, she's actually not all that much of a heel, even trying to help her despite being on opposite sides.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: What Reiko utters to her before a match.
* LeotardOfPower: She wears a red leotard.
* LukeIAmYourFather: She's Reiko's sister.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Is the victim of a massive one from Anesthesia in Reiko's story mode after she "loses to her baby sister". Rather justifiable even ignoring if they are sisters as Anesthesia "enhanced" Evil Rose and Evil was already a better wrestler while Reiko was just a 19 year old rookie.
* ScaledUp: Her superstar gimmick is a dragon form.

!!Candy Cane/Rebecca Welsh
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HitomiNabatame (Japanese), Peggy Woo (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/KateHiggins (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/candy_cane_b_5575.png]]
* AnachronisticOrphanage: Candy's motivation to join the tournament is to win the prize money for the orphanage she grew up in. Assuming the game takes place in 2004 (the year it released), this is ''extremely'' unlikely, though not outright impossible (a handful of Cristian-run orphanages still exist in Canada, but the overwhelming majority of them closed in the 1920s in favor of the foster care system)
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: She is often treated like this, despite not being so much younger than the rest of the division at 18. Anesthesia doesn't even seem interested in using her as a "donor" because of how under developed she is compared to the rest of the girls. For reference rest of the girls aside from Aigle, Makoto and Reiko are over 20 years old and Reiko at 19 is acknowledged as the baby of her family but still treated as a serious fighter... at least [[FauxActionGirl in universe]].
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: Due to her schoolgirl outfit.
* CatchPhrase: "I'm gonna kick your ass". Fittingly her moveset does indeed allow her to target the butts of her opponents.
* CatholicSchoolGirlsRule: She's a schoolgirl who wears a schoolgirl outfit.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The reason for her GlassCannon status is her guitar, in which she can do massive damage to the faces of her opponents with, without it or in areas that she can't come with it she isn't even a FragileSpeedster like Becky and is rather unremarkable aside from her above average humiliation deliverance to her opponent.
* {{Delinquents}}: She's a rude, defiant, punk rock schoolgirl.
* {{Expy}}: A Canadian punkish schoolgirl in a game from the early 2000s, she's essentially Music/AvrilLavigne who was at the height of her popularity and well-liked in Japan.
* FieryRedhead: Due to her being a punk rock girl.
* GirlishPigtails: She sports red pigtails.
* GlassCannon: She is just as delicate as Becky in terms of her ability to take damage and lacks Becky's speed and agility but can end matches even faster than Miss Spencer using her infinite or Lady X Subsistance with her overpowered attacks with a specific sequence ending with her Guitar's Lethal Move.
* InstrumentOfMurder: Can attack using her guitar.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's fighting to raise money to save the orphanage in which she grew up. And yet, she's billed as a heel. [[JustifiedTrope Pretty much because of her confrontational nature]]. This is also because, out of pride, Candy Cane usually refrains from actually telling people that her goal is to save an orphanage. She tells Miss Spencer her goal after the former beats the latter in the former's storyline, but in other cases, such as when Makoto asks Candy Cane why she fights, Candy Cane rudely responds that she's only in it "for the money baby!"
* LiteralAssKicking: She's the most notable example. Aside from one her taunts saying "I'm going to kick your ass", her lethal move in ''Rumble Roses'' starts with Candy Cane kneeing her opponent from behind, with her knee literally hitting between her opponent's glutes. In ''Rumble Roses XX'', she has a different lethal attack that literally involves her grabbing the rear end of her opponent temporarily.
* MaleGaze: Looks at and compliments Dixie's breasts before their match.
* RiotGrrrl: She's a punk rock girl.

!!Rowdy Reiko (a.k.a. Queen Cobra)
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorikoHidaka (Japanese), Bianca Allen (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/MichelleRuff (''Rumble Roses XX'', ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/r_reiko_1b_976.png]]

* BadassBiker: She's the leader of a biker gang called the Road Warriors.
* BrokenBird: This version of Reiko became "Rowdy" because she never found out what happened to her sister, and nobody in Japan gave a damn about her until she found the Road Warriors, who were all people with nowhere to go just like her.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Evil scars, in this case: one over her right eye.
* {{Mukokuseki}}: With her blonde hair and blue eyes, you'd be forgiven for not thinking she's Asian.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: She wears a white scarf around her neck.
* TattooedCrook: She's got a cobra tattoo coiling around her right leg and reaching her belly, she also has a small tattoo on her breast.
* ThatManIsDead: Rowdy Reiko now insists on being called "Queen Cobra" instead of "Reiko", and insists that both Sergeant Clemets and Noble Rose have "got the wrong person."
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her biker outfit is unzipped to her navel.
* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: She uses a wooden sword.

!!Sgt. Clemets
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukoKaida (Japanese), Lilia Silva (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/JessicaStraus (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sgt_b_9635.png]]

* AssKicksYou: She has the same corner ring butt slam attack as her alterego.
* DirtyCop: Her heel persona.
* DirtyHarriet: Possibly, considering that most heels play up on fetishes, and Dixie here is no exception to this rule.
* FreudianExcuse: She became a "cop" precisely because that way she'd be the good guy no matter what she did, after the fans started booing her when she'd expected them to cheer. The "no matter what" part is what makes her a "crooked cop", and therefore a "heel".
* {{Stripperific}}: Wearing only a barely there string bikini and leather chaps, she's the charcter with the most revealing outfit.

!!Showbiz/Sista A
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Reiko Kiuchi (Japanese), Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/JulieAnnTaylor (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aisha_b_1285.jpg]]

* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Her motivation. Aisha turned into "Showbiz" because her CD sales plummeted just because she liked to "bend the rules" a bit, and she never forgot her famous days with eyes on her dancing on a stage.
* {{Stripperific}}: Rivals Sgt. Clemets for how much skin is shown.
* SultryBellyDancer: Her superstar gimmick.
* {{Underboobs}}: Thanks to her outfit.

* BearsAreBadNews: Subverted. She's capable of controlling her pet bear.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Her original humiliation finisher has her wrap her opponent's legs around her waist and she then proceeds to thrust her hips between her opponent's thighs while giving the other girl a frontal headlock under one arm and gripping their back with both hands. This move has since been replaced in ''Rumble Roses XX''.
* DragonLady: With her heavy make-up and pink bustier under a black kimono with dragon insignia, she's giving off that vibe.
* EmotionlessGirl: She shows very little emotion.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: She wears a black kimono.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Sort of. While Makoto has a cute band-aid on one knee, BBD has a taped bandage.
* KillerBearHug: After going dark, she has the strength to use this move in ''Rumble Roses XX''
* WeakButSkilled: Applies just as much to Black Belt Demon as it does Makoto, though she does trade some straight judo attacks for cheating such as biting her opponent.

!!Killer Khan/Great Khan
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Yuka Inokuchi (Japanese), Terry Osada (''Rumble Roses''), Sandy Fox (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/great_khan_b_943.png]]

* DragonLady: Complete with a qipao-styled dress.
* FacialMarkings: Wears white makeup and red facepaint.
* InNameOnly: Wrestling/KillerKhan is the ring name of an actual wrestler. This is subverted in that Aigle's fighting style (roughneck, sometimes with weapons) and nationality (Mongolian) are actually similar to the billing of the real life Killer Khan's. Hence, she was renamed Great Khan in ''Rumble Roses XX''.
* KillItWithFire: Not a literal "kill" but more of a figurative. She can literally burn her opponent with her weapon based lethal move to leave them ready for the three count.
* LargeHam: "ALL become SLAVE to KILLER KHAN!"
* OverTheShoulderCarry: One of Great Khan's attacks involve lifting her opponent into this position then flipping them and making them land on a seated position.
* PainToTheAss: Uses an attack where she tosses her opponent while turning them, leading to them landing in a seated position. The opponent visibly sells the attack momentarily while Great Khan can start her next attack. Shared with her good counterpart Aigle.
* ThirdPersonPerson: She refers to herself in the third person.

!!Mistress Spencer
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Satsuki Yukino (Japanese), Rachel Walzer (''Rumble Roses''), Karen Strassman (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/m_spencer_b_138.png]]

* AnimalMotifs: Rabbits, similarly to Becky. Though Mistress has bunny symbols and fur in her outfits while Becky simply compares her fight style to a bunny.
* {{Dominatrix}}: Her character gimmick.
* EvilFeelsGood: Her entire motivation. She got a thrill from the pain of her opponents, and she was frustrated that merely giving students a good "talking to" wasn't enough to discipline them. So she tried the BDSM route, and found that she liked it.
* EyepatchOfPower: She wears one on her right eye.
* FairytaleWeddingDress: Her superstar gimmick is a wedding themed BDSM outfit.
* MistressAndServantBoy: With Sebastian the Clown.
* PrettyInMink: Her corset and HighClassGloves are trimmed with white fur.
* ThongOfShielding: She wears a black one that's part of her BDSM outfit.
* WhipOfDominance: She starts with a riding crop to complement her BDSM theme, though she's not any better with it than any other character.

Complete with BDSM theme.

!!Dr. Cutter/Dr. Anesthesia
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Ai Orikasa (Japanese), Donna Burke (''Rumble Roses''), Wendee Lee (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doctor_anesthesia_b_2636.png]]

* BigBad: Of both games.
* DrJerk: She's an evil doctor.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: One over her left eye.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: Her superstar gimmick.
* MadDoctor: She likes to experiment on other women.
* WeakButSkilled: Her moveset in doesn't have much power based offense, but she can contort her opponent into interesting positions with her submissions.

!!Judgment/Yasha
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Aki Sasaki (Japanese), Lenne Hardt (''Rumble Roses''), Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yasha_1b_2517.png]]

* FragileSpeedster: Alongside her heel persona Benikage, Yasha has the fastest movement options just under Lady X Subsistence, but also can take much less punishment than the rest of the cast before she is ready for the three count.
* HighlyVisibleNinja: She's a ninja who's barely wearing anything at all.
* IWorkAlone: Yasha in the first game is approached by the recently turned face Evil Rose, now called Noble Rose, to team up so they could take down Anesthesia and the Lady X line of robots together. Yasha turns this down stating she doesn't work with others.
* JusticeWillPrevail: She fights for honor and justice.
* LeotardOfPower: She wears a white and gold leotard.
* NinjaLog: One of Judgement's special moves is to get German Suplexed only to disappear in a cloud of smoke and leave the opponent trying to pin a log. She karate chops them from behind while they're staring at the log in bafflement.
* TooDumbToLive: Not towards her but to her opponents. Yasha can make them fall for the same tricks each time. You would think that after the first two times her opponent would stop trying to German Suplex Yasha after Yasha just missed a high kick.
* VaporWear: Her outfit leaves little to the imagination.
* WeakButSkilled: Moreso than even her heel alter ego, some of her strongest attacks depend on her opponent literally attempting offense on ''her'' and Yasha executes it perfectly each time.

!!Noble Rose/Fujiko Hinomoto
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Mitsuki Saiga (Japanese), Xanthe Smith (''Rumble Roses''), Mary Elizabeth [=McGlynn=] (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/noble_2b_2586.png]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Anime/{{Cutey Honey}}.
* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Same as Evil Rose towards Reiko but appears to have the negative side effect in ''XX'' of Noble now feeling able to tell Reiko what to do.
* BoringButPractical: Due to losing her benefits of Evil Rose, her moveset is in contention for the most bland in the game.
* JackOfAllStats: After losing the superhuman strength of her Evil Rose persona, she is actually rather unremarkable in terms of wrestling ability. She can take more hits than the frailer girls like Becky and Benikage, but doesn't have any of their advantages and in general struggles to defeat high health or high damage girls due to her own unremarkable moveset. She is literally just okay at everything.
* JusticeWillPrevail: After breaking free of her brainwashing, Noble Rose vows to stop Anesthesia.
* LeotardOfPower: She wears a black and white leotard.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Thanks to her outfit, her cleavage and navel are exposed.
* SomethingAboutARose: She's known as Noble Rose.

!!Rebecca "Becky" Welsh
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Hitomi Nabatame (Japanese), Peggy Woo (''Rumble Roses''), Kate Higgins (''Rumble Roses XX'') (English)

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/becky_b_2011.png]]

* AbortedArc: Interestingly, a unique trait for Becky's story mode among all the reformed characters is, while most of them affirm that is how they are now, [[spoiler:Becky herself actually seemingly goes back to her old ways after finding her work too hard. It is never shown if Becky turns back into Candy Cane or remains as Becky and incorporates certain elements of Candy Cane into her seemingly better position of power in her school.]] The sequel abandons any story and there hasn't been a new game since.
* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Her gimmick.
* AnimalMotifs: Her nickname is "The Rumble Bunny". Unlike Mistress, who uses the rabbit motif for her visuals and clothing, Becky instead incorporates the "bunny" motif in her high flying and agile moveset.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As Becky is Candy Cane's face incarnation and she is still 18, she is this.
* BadassAdorable: Becky might be the biggest example of it in this game. She seems to be more concerned with putting on a good show than fanservice compared to most of the other girls. Her introduction is a showcase of her cheerleading skills and her SS introduction is even more flashy. If she wins a match that she took very high amounts of damage in she will ask the audience "Is everyone enjoying their view"? She even keeps with her cheerleader gimmick in match with her taunts such as "One Two You're All Through!". This is all after she potentially just wrestled a robot meant to take over the military and saved the world by defeating it.
* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: This is justified due to her gimmick. Averted with her [[https://rumble-roses.fandom.com/wiki/File:Becky_SS1_v1.0.jpg Superstar]] outfit, which covers her midsection fully. Her swimsuit also just that belly button nicely.
* BoringButPractical: Despite being a cheerleader, her moveset is more in line with actual wrestling and Becky is actually the closest the game has to a full luchadora. Since her transition from Candy Cane, Becky lost many of her crowd pleasing moves that spread the legs of her opponent or her flashy Guitar Attacks but instead uses huracanranas, suplexes, and other actual wrestling attacks.
* DiscardAndDraw: From her change as the heel Candy Cane to the face Becky, Becky lost many of her cheating attacks alongside her guitar that Candy Cane started matches with and could even perform a very powerful Lethal attack with. Becky also loses much of the humiliation factor Candy Cane made her opponent a victim of. As a trade off, Becky becomes much faster in terms of running speed and footwork, gained actual wrestling attacks, acquired many attacks that end in pinfall attempts, and uses a more practical than embarrassing to the opponent H-Move that requires less effort from Becky herself to perform, but is much safer on her end at the same time.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Reverts back into her Candy Cane persona at the end of her storyline.]]
* FlowersOfFemininity: Maybe symbolizing her more feminine aesthetic compared to Candy Cane. In the first game, she has decorations resembling flowers on her hair on her default outfits. Also, when she wears a swimsuit, she wears a rose on her hair. It becomes a daisy in her secondary color.
* GenkiGirl: Due to her being a cheerleader.
* GirlishPigtails: Sports a pair of blonde pigtails.
* GlassCannon: When Becky uses her SS form, she loses many of her weaker attacks including a sweep kick that can avoid killer and H-moves when timed correctly but she gains attacks that hit multiple times ala Aisha and could really lay the beating on her opponent's head. Sadly, this form of Becky is still down for the count rather quickly. She also isn't as capable of doing damage as quickly as Candy Cane as she uses her natural moveset rather than weapons but is still faster than higher damage characters such as the afore mentioned Aisha.
* FragileSpeedster: She isn't as delicate or fast as Benikage, but Candy Cane was already on the frailer end of the Roses spectrum. As part of her moveset change from Candy Cane to Becky, she didn't get any more sturdy in that department but she lost her hard hitting guitar attacks and gained a lot more movement abilities. Effectively, she goes from being a GlassCannon to this. Although in her SS Form...
* PintSizedPowerHouse: While notably taller than Makoto and Aigle, Becky is still on the smaller end of the division. Despite her high flying moveset, she still can side suplex girls who are bigger than her, alongside Sebastian the Clown who is taller and bulkier than Becky, the all steel built Lady X Subsistance and even an adult bear all without assistance.
* PomPomGirl: Averted, while Becky is a genuine cheerleader and all her introductions put her skills to good use, she has never been seen with pom poms.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl:
** In the first game, Becky's softer compared to her Candy Cane persona and even uses words like "silly" and "dreamy" in her interview. She also wears flowers on her hair when she wears swimsuits.
** In ''Rumble Roses XX'', she was given a TomboynessUpgrade. She loses Candy Cane's heart shaped pendant, loses a lot of the makeup, and uses her natural hair color and is more of a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak. She even sounds more aggressive than Candy Cane despite being a face in the ring.
* ValleyGirl: Her interview in the first game has [[https://youtu.be/30ppqbvwnSw her talking like this]].
* WeakButSkilled: Becky isn't the biggest or the strongest in the division. She isn't even the best at submissions. She gets her mileage off her acrobatic high flying skills and reversals. In the original game, some of her attacks even involve her reversing her opponents attacks ''within her own grapple animations''.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Becky is easily the most visually changed Rose among the entire cast in ''Rumble Roses XX''. She also is much more aggressive sounding when wrestling and doesn't say phrases like "get up silly" when picking her opponent up when they are laying on the ground and says more aggressively "get up".

[[folder:Final Boss: Lady X]]
!!Lady X Substance/Lady X Subsistence
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_x_6463.jpg]]

* AllYourPowersCombined: She has all the best moves in the games.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Thanks to being experimented on by Anesthesia.
* {{Cyborg}}: Lady X and Lady X Substance are both cyborgs. Lady X hides her cyborg body under a full body business suit. Lady X Substinence, however, is a robot with nothing organic left.
* HoistHeroOverHead: Substance and Subsistence do this. They lift their opponent overhead with one arm, and proceed to spin their robotic joins while holding the opponent to spin the victim then toss them.
* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler:She's actually Kamikaze Rose, Reiko and Fujiko's MissingMom. And it's when looking for her that Fujiko gets turned into Evil Rose.]]
* OneWingedAngel: Fighting Lady X, there are a few implications that there's something ''off'' about her. It isn't until you beat her that she reveals her cyborg body and starts using her overpowered cyborg moves.
* RocketPunch: As a cyborg, she can fire her arm at an opponent which then flies back to her as part of her Killer Move
* ShoutOut: The Substance/Subsistence is a reference to the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series.
* TransformingMecha: Part of Lady X Subsistence's [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cU3Vk5IcXdw Elevated Knee Drop]] involves her turning into a fighter jet. [[NarmCharm It's ridiculous, but awesome]].
