Description
Karren von Rosewald, known as Kanae, originated as the youngest daughter of Germany's Rosewald family. Her family perished in a raid led by Matsuri Washuu, her parents and brothers dying while shielding her. Rescued from this massacre, she was taken in by Tokyo's Tsukiyama family. Honoring her father's dying wish to continue the Rosewald line, she adopted the male identity Kanae, concealing her biological sex for nine years through masculine clothing, mannerisms, and speech. While this disguise fooled most, other Tsukiyama servants knew the truth.
Kanae possessed an androgynous appearance with violet cropped hair featuring long curling bangs on the right and prominent eyebrows. Serving the Tsukiyamas, she typically wore the standard servant uniform or dress shirts and slacks. During ghoul hunts, she donned a black trench coat and white Domino mask. After enduring torture by Eto, her appearance shifted dramatically to a heavier black trench coat adorned with shoulder rings, combat boots, and a mask resembling Noro's – white with a stitched-on smile and multiple scattered eyes.
Initially, Kanae displayed fierce loyalty and devotion to Shū Tsukiyama, often lacing her speech with German phrases and exhibiting flamboyant, dramatic gestures. Driven by deep romantic feelings for Tsukiyama, she attempted to steal Tooru Mutsuki during a ghoul auction to provide a "suitable meal" for his recovery. Her jealousy flared, threatening Chie Hori over suggestions Tsukiyama valued Chie's safety. Captured and psychologically tortured by Eto, Kanae's mental state shattered. She manifested twisted perceptions, referring to a severed head as a "rose" and presenting it to Tsukiyama as a gift. This instability fueled violent outbursts and a fractured reality, though her underlying devotion to Tsukiyama endured.
Her involvement spanned key events: participating in the auction raid targeting Mutsuki (intercepted by Karao Saeki), confronting Haise Sasaki and the Quinx Squad while blaming Sasaki for Tsukiyama's decline. Recognizing Sasaki's scent as Ken Kaneki's, she flew into a rage, battled fiercely, suffered severe injuries, and was rescued by Matsumae. Manipulated by Eto into seeking revenge against Matsuri Washuu, her story ended in tragedy, defeated and killed by Washuu. In her final moments, she recalled Tsukiyama's earlier kindness comparing her to a rose and expressed a conflicted longing for happiness.
