Rule of Rose is a survival horror game for the PlayStation 2. Its plot, set in 1930s England, revolves around a nineteen-year-old woman named Jennifer, who becomes trapped in a world ruled by young girls who have established a class hierarchy called the Red Crayon Aristocrats. The game has been compared to survival horror games Silent Hill and Haunting Ground, due to the psychological horror used throughout and that the main character is accompanied by a canine companion.
Characters
* Jennifer: The poor, unlucky girl whose parents died aboard an airship. She was taken in by Gregory Wilson, whose son died. In the game, she is (or appears to be) 19. (When she speaks against The Red Crayon Aristocrats at the end of November). Brown, a yellow labrador retriever she found as a child when he was still a puppy, is found in the beginning.
* Brown: A dog that Jennifer finds tied up on the airship. The name "Brown" is scrawled on his collar. After she frees him, the dog becomes her constant companion, helping her find items and ward off the monsters she encounters.
* Wendy: The lonely princess, she is a frail and sickly girl that Jennifer meets on the airship, as well as the only one who is nice to her. She takes care of the rabbits and has some strange link to Jennifer.
* Diana: The strong-willed Princess, ranked Duchess; the highest social placement in the Aristocracy under the Princess of the Red Rose. She is very devious and cruel, even towards the other members of the Aristocracy. Often adopts an nonchalant attitude, not caring about how cruel she appears to others. She's Strong-willed, selfish, and most of all proud. She is the object of affection for Meg.
* Meg: She holds the third spot in the pecking order. Intelligent, but inflexible, she considers herself faultless and carries her notebook, containing various rules, with her everywhere. Meg was behind some of the devices used to punish members of the group, like the "Torture Chair" and the "Onion Bag". She simply adores Diana and follows her like a puppy. Her Aristocrat rank is "Baroness".
* Eleanor: Her rank in the Red Crayon Aristocrats is "Countess". Nobody knows what's on her mind, because she's so distant and cold. She's always carrying an empty bird cage around.
* Amanda: The small-hearted Princess. Prior to Jennifer's arrival, Amanda held the lowest social ranking: Miserable. Initially thankful to Jennifer for lessening the ill treatment she receives, Amanda expressed remorse for following the Aristocrat Club's orders at the end of April. However, as time goes on and Jennifer succeeds Amanda's ranking, a newfound hatred grows within her. Longs to be accepted by the higher members of the Aristocracy, but can never seem to do anything right in their eyes. Wikipedia
