Rose is my favorite character and I love Neddy, too. The bond they have is awesome. Neddy works hard to find out about the white bear that took her. Rose is just like someone I know and I think she’s super relatable. Her never ending sense of adventure so reminds me of my sense of exploration. She is great.
