Background[]

Tsukihime Remake series[]

She is called the Rose Princess(Rozay-en) (薔薇姫(ロズィーアン), Barahime(Rozīan)?) and her Principle is described as the ugliest of them.[1] Lord Rozay-en is mentioned as an affluent Dead Apostle who transformed at the same time as his biological daughters. Dr. Arach seemingly has a connection with her and gave Noel her Mystic Eyes of Roses through her experiments of turning her into a Dead Apostle with the serum Idea Replica. It is implied that Dr. Arach's procedure can grant Noel some of Rita Rozay-en's other abilities due to the final injection causing Noel to sprouted thorny vines from her person.[1]

It is implied that Rita was involved with the "French Incident" as one of the silhouettes of the Dead Apostles present during the Incident resembles her, and her presence is supported by the appearance of Dead whose bodies sprouted thorns among the those converted from the population of the town.[1]

Within the original setting, Rita Rozay-en, known as Self-styled: The Artist's Lady (自称、芸術家のお嬢様, Jishō, Geijutsuka no Ojōsama?), is a typical high-class vampire with a liking for artistry. She is the successor of her parent vampire, having inherited their castle, where she takes a nightly blood bath. She is known for her arrogance, and for doing whatever she pleases. Possibly due to a crooked personality, she is never satisfied with her actions. She holds an odd friendship with Sumire; they have sworn to die by each other's hands.[2]

Role[]

Mahoutsukai no Yoru[]

It is briefly mentioned that, as part of their exploits across Europe, Touko Aozaki and Lugh Beowulf once boarded the Mystic Eye Collection Train, Rail Zeppelin. During the journey, Touko was apparently involved in a battle which destroyed the train and caused the disappearance of the original owner, Rita herself.[3]

Tsukihime Remake series[]

Rita is shown to be listed as one of the Ancestors on the list possessed by Arcueid Brunestud.

She is also implied to have been involved with the "French Incident" as shown in Noel's memory during Ciel's route.[1]

Lord El-Melloi II Case Files[]

In the world of Lord El-Melloi II Case Files, there exists the manager of the Rail Zeppelin who is known as a Dead Apostle by the name of Rozay-en, who is either Rita Rozay-en herself or another member of her clan. The Dead Apostle fled from the train after a battle with Touko Aozaki.[4][5] The Rail Zeppelin Deputy Manager is an emanation left behind by the manager afterwards.[4][5]

Abilities[]

Dead Apostle Ancestor[]

Mystic Eyes of Roses

The most beautiful and ugliest Mystic Eyes in the world: Mystic Eyes of Roses.

Within Tsukihime Worlds Rita is a Rank IX Ancestor Dead Apostle, granting her an Idea Blood: the Mystic Eyes of Roses (薔薇の魔眼, Bara no Magan?), the world's most beautiful, most unsightly Mystic Eyes; representing an unrevealed Principle described as "the ugliest of them all".[1] They allow her to project her memories into other people's minds and implant a victim's mind into her body as a captive.[1] She is able to forcibly remove the soul of her target and lock them away in her Mystic Eyes, where they experience an unending nightmare.[6] According to Francois Prelati, the Mystic Eyes of Roses can be used to trap high-ranking Vampires in illusions effortlessly.[7] As such, Rita is among the very pinnacle of Dead Apostles above the Successors who not even True Ancestors can lay a finger on.[8]

Rita employs the use of Ghouls whose bodies are wrapped in thorns, making them resemble humanoid cacti with roses sprouting out of them.[1]

Rita was also able to leave behind her “shadow”, an emanation of herself to continue managing the Rail Zeppelin after her disappearance.[4][5] As shown, this emanation itself possess a few unique abilities in order to continue its function as a deputy manager of the train, namely the ability to seemingly flawlessly remove the Mystic Eyes of individuals who come to the train to sell their Mystic Eyes.

    Typical high-class vampire.
    Inherited her master's property. Does whatever she pleases. But never satisfied. Perhaps a fault of crooked personality?
    Has a good relationship with Sumire. Thinks that when one dies, the other will probably be the killer. Uh... are they really friends?

    The Mystic Eye Collecting Train(Rail Zeppelin) [Other]
    The stage of the Rail Zeppelin incident, which ushered in the second half of the Case Files story.
    The ability to safely extract and transplant Mystic Eyes with one hundred percent certainty was limited to the Rail Zeppelin alone.
    Though it originally only ran in the heart of Northern Europe, after being destroyed in battle by a certain Grand class doll maker, the original owner disappeared. Once the Rail Zeppelin had finally been repaired, it began to make appearances throughout the entirety of Europe, even being found in Britain, despite it being entirely surrounded by the sea. Miss Touko was really quite thorough.
    The owner’s representative that appeared part way through is like a shadow of the original owner. Only Gray, whose spiritual sensitivity is extraordinarily high, or people like the conductor and auctioneer who had a connection to the original owner in life, can perceive her existence.

    事件簿後半を告げる、魔眼蒐集列車編の舞台。
    魔眼を安全かつ確実に摘出・移植できるのは、この魔眼蒐集列車ぐらいのものだ。
    もともとは北欧を中心に走っていたのだが、とある冠位人形師との戦いに敗れた後、本来の支配人が姿を消し、やがて復活した魔眼蒐集列車は北欧のみならず、欧州の多くの土地で―――海を隔てたブリテンの土地でも見られるようになったのだという。橙子さんマジ半端ない。
    途中出現した支配人代行は、もとの支配人の影のようなもの。霊的な感受性が極めて高いグレイや、もとの支配人と縁深い車掌やオークショナーのみがその存在を知覚することができた。
