“	You've been kissed by shadows. You've crossed into Death, into the other side, and returned. Do you think something like that doesn't leave a mark on the soul? ... You should have stayed dead. Vasilisa brushed death to bring you back and bound you to her forever.	”
—Victor Dashkov on the bond the girls share^{[[Vampire Academy, page 317.\|src]]}

Rosemarie Hathaway and Vasilisa Dragomir have been best friends for a long time.

Appearances[]

Most would say they're pretty close, so close, in fact, that they have a psychic bond. This bond was forged by Spirit when Rose died in the car crash that killed Lissa's brother, mother, and father. Rose was healed when Lissa unknowingly brought her spirit back from the Land of the Dead, which is what formed their bond. Rose wanted to protect her, be her assigned guardian, and always be there for her. When Rose and Lissa were sophomores, Rose took Lissa and broke out of their private school, St. Vladimir's Academy. They lived in several places during the two years they were abroad. They were eventually found and brought back to the academy. At the academy, Rose and Lissa have many unfortunate events, like Rose's forbidden relationship and Lissa's socially unacceptable relationship.

Shadow Kiss[]

Lissa and Rose attend Victor Dashkov's trial and are allowed to testify against him. Victor is sent to Tarasov prison, which is a huge weight off Rose and Lisa's shoulders. Rose doesn't tell Lissa about her many problems because she doesn't want her to worry about them. When the Strigoi attack St. Vladimir's Academy and Dimitri is taken away, Rose begs Lissa to bring him back to life, and that is when Lissa finally realizes Rose's feelings for Dimitri. When Rose leaves to find Strigoi Dimitri, Lissa is heartbroken and distraught. Rose feels horrible about leaving, but it's what she has to do to move on.

Blood Promise[]

Rose has left Lissa in an attempt to kill her undead Strigoi boyfriend, Dimitri Belikov. Rose and Lissa do not have any communication while Rose is in Russia, looking for Dimitri. Nearing the end of the book, when Avery Lazar is attempting to kill Lissa, Rose reaches into Lissa's head while Oksana reaches into Rose's head, somehow giving Rose and Lissa the ability to speak to one another. Rose helps Lissa defeat Avery Lazar, Reed Lazar, and Simon. Rose and Lissa have an emotional goodbye, with Rose telling Lissa she's coming home soon. When Rose finally returns to St. Vladimir's Academy, everyone is elated that she has returned. Rose has even "dropped back in" to school. Lissa makes Rose promise that whatever crazy plan she has next, she must take Lissa with her. After Rose finds out that she failed to kill Dimitri, she must figure out what to do next, and she has to bring Lissa with her.

Spirit Bound[]

Lissa and a few others break Rose out of the Royal Court jails. Rose is on the run with Dimitri Belikov and Sydney Sage. While Lissa tries to clear Rose's name, Rose tries to earn Lissa her right to be on the Royal Council by finding the only person who can fill the quorum: Lissa's unknown half-brother or half-sister. Rose and Lissa have almost zero contact until the end of the book, but Rose watches the world through Lissa's eyes much of the time she's away. Rose has a plan to distract the court by having Lissa run for queen. When Rose gets back to Court, she clears her name and finds Jillian Mastrano Dragomir, Lissa's illegitimate half-sister. But while still on stage, Rose is shot in the chest by Natasha Ozera, the real murderer of the late Queen. While Rose is recovering, Lissa is elected queen because her family has her quorum. Rose is elected as a member of the Queen's Guard. Rose and Lissa's spirit bond broke because Rose's body fought and saved herself after being shot.

Quotes[]

“	When I set out to write the series, I had a lot of characters' stories and subplots in my head, and I had to decide early on how I was going to address those. Rotating characters with a third-person narrative certainly lets you get a lot of stories out there--but can also leave you with a thousand-page book if you're not careful. I ultimately decided Rose was the character I was most interested in and that her story really formed the heart of the series. I chose her as my narrator but was still drawn to Lissa, both because she's fascinating in her own way and also because of her close connection to Rose. I soon realized, though, that their very connection would let me get away with slipping in another character's narrative. Rose's ability to see the world through Lissa's eye allowed us these moments of third-person POV that we wouldn't ordinarily get in a first-person series. I ended up with a sneaky kind of hybrid style of storytelling that was ultimately told with Rose's voice but expanded the world beyond her own experiences. This system became a really useful tool in Blood Promise, when Rose and Lissa were separated for the first time. Even though Rose was by far and away nearly everyone's favorite character at that point in the series, I think we all would've been sad to have a book where we didn't know what was going on with Lissa, Christian, Adrian, and the others. The bond let me continue keeping track of everyone, which became even more essential in later books as Rose and Lissa began to increasingly follow their own paths.	”
