― Rose, Episode 1: Nightmare

Rose Marigold is a waitress in Bright Falls and Alan Wake. She works at the local diner, the Oh Deer Diner, in Bright Falls. She also is a big fan of the writings of Alan Wake and keeps a life-sized cutout of him in the diner. In her spare time, she enjoys reading his novels and following news about him.

Bright Falls (mini-series)

Rose Bright Falls

The live-action version of Rose

In the live-action series, Bright Falls, she first meets Jake Fischer when he enters the diner and starts to flirt with him when she realizes he is a reporter. Jake notices that she is a fan of Alan Wake, as evidenced by the cardboard cutout of Alan in the diner. When she next meets Jake, she becomes rather jealous of a woman named Ellen, who has come to the Oh Deer Diner to meet him. Despite this fact, she is still amiable to Jake whenever she meets him, and comforts him when he doesn't look well.

Alan Wake (Season 1)

Rose touched

Rose after she was touched by the darkness

When Alan Wake walks through the doors of the Oh Deer Diner, she barely acknowledges who he is until she looks up, and then begins gushing about being Alan's biggest fan. Annoyed with her enthusiasm, Alan groans and interrupts her by asking where he can find Mr. Stucky. When Alan leaves after receiving the cabin key and directions from the lady in black, Rose will yell out "Bye Mr. Wake!" in an excited tone.

Rose later encounters Barry Wheeler and Alan when they arrive at Elderwood National Park to rent a cabin from Rusty and at the end of the episode Taken when she invites Alan and Barry to her trailer to retrieve the manuscript pages Barry asked her to find for Alan. Unfortunately, the Dark Presence has brainwashed her into doing so and once they arrive Rose serves the two men drugged coffee, knocking them out until nightfall. On his way out of her trailer, Alan notices Rose rocking back and forth (reciting lines she might say to a customer at the diner), realizing that the Dark Presence used her to get to him. Barry, however, believes she turned against them on purpose and steals the cardboard cut-out of Alan she kept at the diner. At the end of the game, she is seen carrying a lantern, just like Cynthia Weaver did, with former FBI Agent Robert Nightingale watching her from the darkness behind.
