Rose

Rose (originally named Jane in her first appearance) is a highly qualified psychiatrist and is currently the school counselor at West End University quick-start community college. She is a main character in Kissing Therapy and the protagonist of Kissing Therapy: Proper Counseling. She is voiced by Lady Lustria.

Appearance
Rose has long auburn hair, brown eyes, glasses and large breasts. She is quite a tall and imposing woman with an intimidating and dominant presence.

In Proper Counseling, she would wear thick parka jackets and conservative clothing which several characters referred to it as her "armor." Over the course of the game she begins to remove the outer layers of clothing. As she falls deeper under the influence of the subliminals she begins to undo buttons to put her clevage on display and switches from trousers to a miniskirt. As time passes she takes to only wearing a bikini top and a miniskirt with stockings and by the end of the game she has taken to walking around the school naked with only a buttplug up her ass. By the time of Kissing Therapy, Rose has a more power within the college and therefore more control over what she wears. She is seen wearing a casual, form-fitting dress.

Personality
In all of her appearances, Rose is highly intelligent and meticulous, taking precautions, notes and being more observant and cautious than most others.

Rose as she first appears in Proper Counseling is mean-spirited, short-tempered, and blunt towards her students, fellow teachers and her boss. Due to her wealthy upbringing and experiencing a lifetime of closing herself off to others, she has developed a superiority complex and disrespects all people she feels belong beneath her. She is also shown to be very bitter and vindictive, willing to take a job she feels overqualified for just to get a chance to expose and ruin her old school rival.

Over the course of the game, Rose grows friendlier and much more respectful and considerate towards her students, coworkers and superiors. She is also increasingly suspicious of how docile she is around her superiors given their blatant sexual harassment. She realizes that she came to be expected to be feared for her beauty, money, and intelligence everywhere she went and is genuinely happy to find somewhere that people are nice to her and she feels good being nice back. She grows to care about her students problems and seek to help them, but with her own agenda in serving Amy's "dream" taking precedence in her methods.

By the time of Kissing Therapy, Rose is a very different woman. She has been conditioned to be cool, calm and collected, showing no signs of her past abrasiveness and impatience with students. She is very understanding and genuinely listens to her students, even those like Katherine that are in opposition to her goals. Despite her sweet and charming personality, she efficiently carries out her ulterior motives concerning Katherine and the other girls at her school with no moral qualms.

Background
Rose was born into a very wealthy family and ever since she was a young girl she'd been sexually attracted to women. She always wanted to be with another girl like herself but always pushed them away out of fear. She'd been so terribly afraid of being bad or doing the wrong thing that she denied herself everything that could've made her happy, shutting herself off from the world. She spent years hiding from herself in books and studying, using her money to build walls around herself.

Whilst studying she met Amy Xin who showed interest in her. This outraged Rose who decided to funnel her attraction into hatred and devoted herself to destroying Amy as a form of revenge for making her feel that way. Rose's studying ended with her becoming an Ivy League graduate and one of the most accomplished psychologists in the state. She has degrees and practical experience enough to place herself anywhere in the world that she could possibly want but chose West End University, a quick-start community college founded by Amy who is the Vice-President.

Rose's mother used her money to buy a huge portion of the college with their family's large amount of wealth. Rose knew it would be easy to buy the place out entirely, move in new leadership and fire Amy but she decided that was too lenient a revenge.

Rose joined the college as a guidance counselor working under Amy, hoping to find a scandal that would utterly discredit her old rival and drive her out of academia forever. She reasoned that Amy would be able to recover from losing a job but not from losing everything. She quickly found evidence of a possible scandal when she learnt that drugs where being circulated around the university by students. She intimidated a student into telling her that she suspected one of the teachers was the source of the drugs. The student's classmates treated her horribly after she'd snitched to Rose, but Rose decided it had been a necessary sacrifice.

Day 1
Rose interrogates Amber during a counseling session over drugs being dealt in the school. She is certain Amber knows something but the girl refuses to give up any information. Amy enters her office shortly afterwards and mentions that many students had filed complaints about Rose's counseling sessions and advises Rose to stop scaring the students so much.

Amy explains she has put together a number of educational videos to her Rose become a "proper Counselor" and advises Rose to watch the video she just emailed to her school computer. Rose watches the first video in the week-long course and finds it comical due to it's overuse of stock footage and 90s music. The video does little more than give Rose a headache.

Day 2
Rose continues to antagonize her students, feeling frustrated having to listen to the problems of people who she deems to belong beneath her. Amy once again chastises her and instructs her to watch the next educational video.

Rose watches the second video and relaxes by letting her hair down to alleviate her headache. She decides to mockingly repeat everything the video says to make fun of it, conditioning herself to show respect to her students, coworkers and superiors.

She ends the video realizing there are still a lot of students waiting for her and it wouldn't be very respectful to keep them waiting.

Day 3
Rose begins dressing more provocatively, being more friendly to the teachers, and being more attentive and empathic with her student clients. Amy blatantly checks out Rose's body which makes Rose furious but she lets it go because it wouldn't be respectful to call out her boss for sexual harassment.

She watches Amy's third video and is trained to believe that a "proper counselor" obeys, acts sexy, and helps out students with "romantic problems." She strips down to her underwear and masturbates to the video, thinking about Amy never being able to have her.

Day 4
Rose goes to the teacher's lounge and finds all the teachers inside with their breasts pushed out and legs spread wide, staring mindlessly at a training video and chanting their commands. The only thing Rose found odd about this situation is there appear to be no male teachers.

Amy approaches Rose and tells her to watch the staff training video with the other teachers. Rose is resistant and Amy implies that not doing so would be disrespectful to her coworkers. Rose angrily shoves Amy and rejects her advances. Amy smacks her on the ass and tells her to forget about the drugs.

Rose thinks about ruining Amy with sexual harassment but realizes that none of the teachers would side with her over the Vice-President of the University. To bond with the other teachers she sits with them to watch the video. She ends up naked and trained to love the videos and believe that the lessons they teach are good and right.

Day 5
In the cafeteria, Rose witnesses Amber spike Kelly's drink. Rose's immediate reaction was to run over and stop Amber but her programming kicks in. She realizes it would be disrespectful to Amy if she got involved because her superior told her to forget about the drugs. She also thinks it would be inconsiderate to Amber to take her drugs away.

Whilst she is paralyzed by these conflicting beliefs, Kelly begins to slur her words and stumbles to the restroom with Amber. Rose follows and masturbates in the hallway to the sight of the two women having sex.

Realizing something is very wrong, Rose locks herself in her office for the rest of the day. She calls her mother and advises her to quietly complete the buyout of the school. Despite wanting to, she couldn't bring herself to warn her mother about what had been going on since a "proper counselor" keeps indecent things private. Rose celebrates her impending victory by re-watching the training videos she enjoys so much.

Day 6
Rose notes that whilst it's good that the students are all now watching their own versions of the videos the drug problem appears to have only grown worse. She begins to experience an empty feeling.

Whilst furiously masturbating and chanting along with the teachers, Rose begins to play with her asshole and wonders if the emptiness is her asshole. Ginger offers her some lube which Rose on her fingers, slips them into her anus and "rewards" Ginger. Whilst she feels happier than ever to be surrounded by such nice people and satisfied with a fullness in her butt, Rose still can't shake the feeling she's missing something.

Concluding something is still wrong, Rose puts in a buttplug and walks naked into Amy's office and demands an explanation. Amy introduces her to the President of the University who explains what has really been going on. Rose is snapped out of her brainwashing and is horrified by what has been done to her and claims her mother with buy the place out and bulldoze it to the ground. However, Amy and the President reveal that Rose's mother - now calling herself "Bunny" - has been turned into their brainless, vapid bimbo fucktoy.

Rose is given an offer to join them in furthering their "dream" as an equal partner or else end up like her mother. Rose realizes she has been denying herself pleasure for years and decides that this way she can finally indulge in lesbianism without any guilt. She laughs manically and agrees so long as she can work on perverting and corrupting girls. She swears loyalty to the President and becomes a "proper counselor."

Epilogue
Rose has another session with Amber, who has grown resistant and hesitant to do sexual things to her friend Erica. Rose listens calmly to Amber's problems and is surprised that Amber knows about slave class; it is the last stop for immunes - any student who made the rest uncomfortable with moralizing or pointless hesitation - and most normal students are unaware of it's existence. However, Rose has developed her own mind control techniques that has been useful in hollowing out the minds of several supposedly immune students by using a heart-shaped pendant necklace. She proceeds to hypnotize Amber and decides to keep the gorgeous student as one of her personal slaves instead of letting her become a brainless fucktoy. Rose enjoys her new slave and looks forward to brainwashing students at other schools in the future.

Kissing Therapy Relewded
Katherine, a girl who was off sick the week of the brainwashing and who is proving quite resistant to the subliminals approaches Rose for guidance and help. Rose listens calmly, patiently and empathically to Katherine's stories of unwarranted sexual advances from Amber, Erica, Kelly and Nicole. Rose ends the session by hypnotizing Katherine with her heart pendant necklace and brainwashing her into surrendering to the lesbian advances of her friends. She educates her on sex with women by demonstrating on Katherine's body herself. Amber comes in for her next "session" and reconciles with her friend who is far more receptive to her molestations. Katherine leaves and Rose takes out her pendant to continue brainwashing Amber even further.

Abilities
Rose is a highly qualified psychologst and ruthless investigator. In the epilogue of Proper Counseling, she develops skill as a hypnotist. Using Catium, she created a heart-shaped pendant necklace that lets out dazzling light which she could use to hypnotize students. She found that it worked especially well on resistant and supposedly immune students. It is far more powerful than Amy's subliminals and drugs and has less side effects. However, it is rougher and lacks the subtlety of Amy's methods and isn't as useful against crowds or in spreading their influence across a wide area - such as taking over the city - as the weaker subliminals are.

Amy Xin
Amy and Rose met whilst both studying in school. Rose and Amy were both sexually attracted to each other, but when Amy expressed interest, Rose's complexes caused her to lash out. She developed a fierce and passionate hatred for Amy and devoted herself to destroying her rival's life. In response, Amy grew more resourceful and increasingly ruthless to survive Rose's attempts to destroy her.

This infuriation led to Rose choosing to work as Amy's employee later in life. Rose only did so out of a desire to find a scandal within Amy's university big enough to chase Amy out of academia and ruin her life forever. Despite her mother owning a huge portion of the school, Rose decided that just buying Amy out, moving in new leadership and firing Amy was too lenient a revenge. Amy would be able to recover from losing her job but not from losing everything. Rose's vindictiveness was truly unbridled as she often expressed a desire to see actual harm and poverty befall Amy, including watching her starve in the streets.

Whilst Amy acted civil, professional and even friendly at times with Rose, she secretly harbored an equally intense hatred for Rose, making dangerous and illegal experimentations into mind control in the hope of one day brainwashing Rose to be a brainless, vapid bimbo that she could make sexually satisfy her and then sell on the streets for a penny a ride.

However, their rivalry was effectively ended by the President, who they both swore their loyalty and service to. Their partnership is unequal, however, whilst they are both still servants to their shared owner, Amy is ranked above Rose and so can enjoy her as much as she wants. However, the bonus audio logs reveal that their competitiveness remains, both of them constantly trying to dominate the other during sex and frequently throwing unveiled insults and threats at each other.

Despite this it seems that they have managed some teeth-clenched teamwork as Amy showed Rose her research and Rose was able to improve Amy's subliminals and inspire Rose to create her own Catium Heart Pendant necklace which she can use to hypnotize students.

Rose is aware that Amy isn't completely sane anymore and is no longer in full control of her actions, effectively they all serve an idea - a twisted form of Amy's original "dream" upon beginning her research into mind control - rather than an actual person, the President is just the person in charge.

Katherine
Katherine is one of Rose's clients. She appears to only wish to help Katherine and to try and understand what problems she is having. Though Rose acts very sweet and sympathetic to Katherine, she becomes one of her next victims, falling under a hypnotic trance and being groped by her.

Amber
In Proper Counseling, Amber and Rose where initially very hostile towards one another as Rose would try intimidation tactics to interrogate Amber about the drugs being distributed around the school. Amber held intense dislike for Rose and hated her sessions with her.

After they had both been brainwashed they met up again for a later session. Rose realized she was sexually attracted to Amber and it was her right to claim the gorgeous student as her own. She told Amber that rather than let her be another brainless fucktoy; she'd be keeping Amber all for herself. This made Amber simultaneously afraid, excited, confused and joyful as Rose seduced her and then took out her pendant and proceeded to brainwash Amber.

By the time of Kissing Therapy, it seems that Amber is still regularly visiting Rose for appointments to be brainwashed and have sex.

West End University President
Rose swore her loyalty to the President. She was initially horrified and revolted by what they and Amy had done to her, but decided to serve them on a more equal footing rather than end up like her mother. Rose is docile and subservient to the President and is willing to do anything and everything she can in service to their dark "dream" so long as she can continue to feel the pleasure she had been denying herself for so long.

Bunny
Rose seemed to be reasonably close with her mother. She certainly enjoyed the wealth and prestige that being her relative offered. Her mother was willing to do as her daughter asked, buying a large portion of a quick-start community college at her request and even being willing to buy it out entirely. Her mother also didn't seem to question why her daughter would take a position she was overqualified for and (as revealed in the audio logs) was aware of her daughter's hatred for Amy.

As "Bunny", Rose's mom served as a warning of what could have happened to Rose. Rose was initially horrified and revolted by what had happened to her mother, she seemed to enter a state of denial and just beg her mom to complete the buyout and fire Amy and the President. However, once Rose had achieved orgasm thinking of the pleasure she could derive from being able to engage is lesbianism without guilt, she thought it was a good thing her mother was already a slave; otherwise she'd have sold her into slavery to feel this good forever. It would seem that even before the brainwashing, Rose placed her mother's wealth and position as more important than affection.

Trivia

 * Of the current people with the role of a hypnotist is Cypress Zeta's games, Rose was the first female.
 * The only other female hypnotists are Amy Xin and (optionally) the President.
 * Rose was originally called Jane. However this was changed in later releases of the game, likely to avoid confusion between Rose and another Outbreak Games character, Jane, from Snow Daze: The Music of Winter. Especially after it was decided the games would take place in the same universe with the potential for crossovers in the future.
