Line 15 ⟶ 16:
** To be fair, she's never implied to be unattractive, and they do quite a bit to play down her natural looks (the actress gained a little weight, dyed her hair a darker color that washed her out, unimpressive makeup and dress, etc). It's more that in comparison to Maggie that she's less of a head-turner, and that's in part because Maggie has learned to court attention via her looks. She's involved in two different relationships over the course of the film, and both of them are with attractive men, the latter outright admitting he was smitten with her from the start.
* [[Missing Mom]]
* [[Woobie]]: Rose and Maggie. Mother with Bipolar Disorder, parents with a hard marriage, Mother commits suicide which [[Break The Cutie Rose|Rose knew since age 8]], [[What the Hell, Hero?|father cut their grandmother from contacting them]], Sydelle goes out of her way to make Rose feel [[Kick the Dog|fat and ugly while making Maggie feel like she'll ever succeed in life]]. Give these two some hugs!
