After Rosie has become more well established, does she ever struggle with self doubt in her own ability to live up to her families legacy? I know Theo tends to be the more tender/unsure of the siblings, but does Rosie ever have those fleeting moments of fear?
THE PRICE OF LEGACY
Absolutely! Rosie definitely projects much more confidence, but she's deeply insecure both professionally and personally.
Personally, she is pretty off-putting when she's not in the ring and putting on a persona, and although she's surrounded by "friends" as a teenager, very few of them seem to genuinely like her for who she is, and that weighs very heavily on her since she can't make sense of why people don't like her. Axon and I haven't discussed this, but honestly I would not be surprised if Teddy is lowkey the more liked sibling among their friends since even though he's Shy he's definitely much nicer lol.
Professionally, Rosie is pretty average as a wrestler. She's really good at taking hits and the mic work aspect, but she doesn't have the same kind of raw power as Theo and she's not exceptionally graceful, which I do think she's self-conscious about. She also doesn't have the same kind of star power that her dad did and would never be able to pull off something like the tour in Europe that he did when he was a young man (not to mention the misogyny of the industry does not help at all.) Theo is very supportive of her and makes no secret of how proud of her he is, but I think that tends to make her worried anyway since he's also supportive of Teddy (who she thinks is a loser lol) so if he ever says anything to her that seems even a little bit like something he'd say to Teddy it's pretty easy for her to spiral about it.

What is your favorite thing about Rosie and Teddy’s relationship
THE PRICE OF LEGACY
Man... that's hard...
I love a lot of things about them, I think they have a very interesting relationship. If I had to pick one thing, I would say that I really love that they have this intense and incestuous love for each other both in canon and across alternate universes, even without the factor of their father grooming and abusing them. I am very fascinated by characters that go through abuse that could theoretically be used as an excuse for their behavior, but the truth is that they were always going to be Like That. Rosie was always going to abuse Teddy, Teddy was always going to love her anyway, they were always going to be together in the end. Fate, inevitability, destiny — and make it evil.
