Rose having a strong familial bond with Belikova women is ❤ I headcanon Viktoria went to the United States after she graduated St. Basil's. She and Rose cleared the air about Rolan and became closer than ever.
Olena loves to dote on Rose, knowing how she didn't really have that experience as a child. Karolina gets really protective, and takes on a role as a big sister. She also loves to tease Dimitri and tell Rose all of the embarrassing stories about him that she can. Sonya takes a while to open up to Rose. She's learnt to not trust people too quickly, since she's been hurt in the past. But it's this protective instinct in her that Rose can relate to, and after a few visits Sonya feels comfortable to open up and trusts Rose implicitly. She and Rose end up becoming confidants in each other, because they know they can trust the other to be straight and call each other out on their bullshit when necessary. Yeva loves pushing Rose's buttons, but she really is very fond of her. She'll just never tell her that outright! The kids love Rose. They all look up to her and admire that she's a badass guardian in charge of protecting the QUEEN! And Viktoria just sees Rose as another best friend. She immediately clicked with Rose the first time she met her in Baia, and after their reconciliation they got even closer. Plus, I always thought it would make more sense for Viktoria to come to Palm Springs with Dimitri and Sonya in The Golden Lily. She's someone that Rose and Dimitri would trust completely to help keep Jill safe and would be around the right age to be in school with her.
