Description Oh my gosh. I drew something... and I'm proud of it!! This only happens about one time out every 100+ things I draw. And look, roses! I'm so creative, I know.

Rose. Tyler. <3 Billie Piper does such an excellent job playing the role.

Title from a Florence + The Machine song, although the picture really as nothing to do with the song itself...

..I just felt it was a good representation of Rose to me. (Yes, this would be a good time to warn you that a ramble is coming. BRACE YOURSELVES FOR BOREDOM.) The phrase kept coming to my hear when I saw her. "A Lionhearted Girl"-- as in brave, courageous, strong, all of that. Because she really was, and without being perfect "Mary-Sue" character. To me, she was exactly like someone in her position should be-- not always totally on top of things, not 100% fearless and perfect-- but she was far more brave than most ordinary people would be in the situations she was thrown into, and she grew as the series progressed. She's one tough, clever, brave young lady, who can take care of herself, but isn't afraid to rely on others when she needs them.

I don't get the hate in some parts of the fandom for her-- sure, she had her "damsel in distress" moments, but heck, she got herself out of a good deal of them. And I can't think of one time where I found her to be annoying. And a Mary-Sue? Absolutely not.

So, in short, I really wanted to do her justice with this picture. I miss her so much. ;A;

Aaaannnnd, oh God, there's going to be some people will hate me for saying all of this. ;A;

This is amazing! I love Rose too, for all the reasons you said, I'm glad someone else feels that way too because in my opinion she was a drastically under appreciated character. I also loved her and The Doctor together, I miss series 2 so much!

Agreed on all points! It's such a shame that such a vocal section of the fandom doesn't like her... she is a marvelous, three dimensional character whom I miss dearly!

Absolutely georgeous! I love the way you drew her outfit and her hair. Spot on!

I do hate how everyone says she's a "Mary Sue". Just because her love for the Doctor wasn't one sided, doesn't really mean they need to start a war. He loved her because of her, and it's just incredibly worthless to be even fighting over it. xD It's mostly jealous fangirls bashing on her. It's truly annoying.

Thank you very much!

It's really disappointing that people actually think that, and especially for as shallow reasons as the one you mentioned. Their love is simply, purely incredible, and there's nothing else like it. <3 It's such a shame that fangirls like that have to hate on it and Rose.

Thank you thank you thank you!

I think I am going to try and color it lightly with colored pencils. (Of course, I'm going to use the photocopy. XD)

You're welcome you're welcome you're welcome 8D

Ooooh, I think that could end up being really nice, and it's probably one of the best approaches I can think of. Can't wait to see the results! XD
