Rose

Princess Rose is the main protagonist of Princess of the Midnight Ball.

She is the eldest daughter of King Gregor and the late Queen Maude, one of the 12 Princesses of Westfalin, and part of the "Older set" along with Princess Lily and Princess Jonquil.

She first meets Galin right after he starts his new job as an under-gardener. She is sitting on the edge of the Swan Fountain and he startles her so that she falls in.

It is very cold water and cold weather so she took a chill from it. With the requirement of dancing at the midnight ball every third night, she is unable to get better. Soon her sisters are ill too. Her father and the physician are worried that Rose isn't getting better.

Rose despaired of ever breaking the curse on her and her sisters. When all 8 of the foreign Princes that had come to try and discover what was happening with the Princeses died when they went home she almost gave up hope.

But then Galen rescued them so they were free at last.

She marries Galen Werner at the end of the first book and the two of them are declared to be co-heirs. Princess Rose is the main protagonist of Princess of the Midnight Ball, and is seen in Princess of Glass and Princess of the Silver Woods.
