Rose Peizer is a minor, yet pivotal character from first half of the second season of the Prime Video original series Just Add Magic. She's Charles Peizer's younger sister, who worked alongside him as a partner in being the Protectors of the Cookbook during the Victorian era, until a recipe gone wrong lead to Charles becoming immortal, and Rose getting imprisoned inside the cookbook.
She was portrayed by Annabelle Kavanagh.
What Makes Her an Ensemble Dark Horse?[]
- She's shown to have a very cute and innocent appearance, which quickly won some fans over.
- During her limited screentime, she managed to establish herself as a respectable, sensible, well-intentioned girl, in addition to being very nice.
- In the main flashback, she objected to Charles' plan to cook a recipe to make them the permanent protectors, claiming that the magic wasn't theirs to keep.
- She also has additional flashbacks establishing that she had a strong and loving sibling relationship with her big brother Charles.
- She's got one of, if not the most tragic and sympathetic background of any character on the show: After Charles' immortality spell accidently traps Rose inside the cookbook, she had to spend a century and a half trapped in the Cookbook, unable to do anything to get out, and having full consciousness while imprisoned all those years. This can easily be considered a Fate Worse Than Death. At least Charles got to live it up with his immortality, and make the most of it. Plus her circumstances were completely out of her control. It's nearly impossible not to pity her.
- After she was freed from the book, and she and Charles returned to 1868, it kickstarted a new timeline where Rose was never imprisoned, got to live her life, and grew up to become a friendly, beloved and influential Samaritan, who lived to be 82. It got to the point where she had a park named after her after her passing, which just goes to show how beloved she was by the people of Saffron Falls.
- It's later revealed that sometime after their protector era ended, she and Charles would go on to become philanthropists who would use the family's wealth to improve the lives of the poor. A noteworthy act of theirs would be that they developed a program to curb hunger, and they've used their amazing culinary skills to form one of California's first soup kitchens, where they fed hundreds of impoverished citizens.
- In spite of her mostly existing as part of Charles' backstory, she's gained a massive fanbase for her aforementioned sympathetic background, in addition to her friendly and loving nature. Fans even got upset when she didn't return for the finale of the main show or for Mystery City (save for a few mentions), despite Charles playing a pivotal role in those parts.
