Character Introductions & Cast Comments
Rose Marblehart (Voiced by: Ai Kayano)
■Character Description
A Big Sisterly Knight Who Knows How to Be Affectionate
Rose is the vice-captain of the Spendyardvania Church Knights. While traveling to broaden her horizons, she came across Beryl’s dojo and briefly studied under him. Renowned for her exceptional defensive swordsmanship, she even earned Beryl’s recognition. Her outgoing nature makes her great with children.
■Ai Kayano's Comment
I used to think being good at acting spoiled was a little sister’s privilege…
But meeting Rose made me realize—big sisters being affectionate is absolutely adorable too!!
Of course, she’s not just cute. Despite her soft tone and appearance, Rose is incredibly strong-willed. As Beryl’s cherished student, her swordsmanship speaks for itself!
Since Rose plays a crucial role in the story, I tried to approach the role with grounded sincerity, true to her character. I hope viewers can fully immerse themselves in this world—I’m looking forward to the broadcast right alongside you!
