Biography[]

Grudge-ros3

Rose is haunted.

Rose Morrison lived with Max and Lisa and often suffered asthma attacks. She came under their guardianship after their parents passed away. Gretchen usually babysat her when her siblings where away, usually when Lisa, at some level negligent to her little sister, was out with her boyfriend Andy.

One day, Rose left a Mr. Potato Head out in the hall, to which she was told by Lisa to retrieve it, remarking that Max does not like to find her toys scattered around. Rose explained to her that it was a welcome gift for "the boy", and Lisa then found Rose's toy had mysteriously vanished from the hallway.

Rose later met Naoko, a Japanese newcomer interested in a room. While Rose played at her dollhouse, Toshio returned to haunt her, causing Rose to have another attack. Later that night, she was visited once again at her bedroom, screaming as Toshio meowed at her. Lisa entered her bedroom to check, but found it empty.

After Rose returned with Lisa from the playground, Max covered her eyes as Gretchen's corpse was being taken away from the apartment, after Max discovered it. Gretchen's death visibly affected Rose and left her upset.

Rose woke up one morning and found Max acting violently, and was ordered to go back to her room. Lisa, who was kicked out from the apartment by Max, later returned to pick her up under his visible rage. Outside, Naoko, who intended to banish the curse, told her their time had came. During the banishing ritual, however, Lisa refused to talk Rose into drinking Kayako's blood, which was required to complete the ceremony. They were then surprised by a possessed Max, who targeted Naoko whilst Rose and Lisa were followed by Kayako's evil spirit.

As Lisa became cornered by the evil spirit, Rose returned and drank the blood, causing the spirits to vanish, and herself to have another asthma attack. Rose was prevented from seeing Max's murderous act and was promptly attended by Lisa who quickly fitted her oxygen tank on her. Later, as they’re escorted out of the apartment by the authorities, Rose was promised that everything would be fine from that point, and that Lisa would never abandon her. As she hugged her however, Lisa was unaware that she was actually embracing Kayako's evil spirit as well.

Trivia[]

  • It is currently unclear if Kayako's evil spirit was actually trapped inside Rose, or if it only manifested to remark that her grudge would never have an end after all, and that Rose and Lisa are still cursed.
  • It's possible Toshio would be the ghost to kill Rose as he was haunting her the most and she probably would have been taken by the curse if she did not scream.
    • Though it is also possible that Toshio was making a genuine attempt at friendship.
  • Actress Jadie Hobson's middle name is Rose.[1]
