* / META & PORTRAYAL INSIGHT. despite rose's outward demeanor , she cares deeply about what the titans / others think about her. she wants those around her to TRUST her , to NEED her : she wants them to see her more as just DEATHSTROKE'S DAUGHTER. even still rose has to make an effort to come across as a " heartless bitch " using sarcasm and her own natural wit to come across as insensitive to the plight of others ( mainly cassie & tim ). even when eddie sacrificed himself , she never let her façade fall around anyone other than herself , almost loosing it around cassie more than she'd care to admit. and YES , i know most people like to ignore this part of her character but rose DEEPLY cares about what people think of her , especially the people she cares about , even her father who she KNOWS she should hate for all he's done to her , but she still wants his approval , she wants him to care about her like he cares about joey.
