Rose Templeton is the wife of Connor Templeton and the mother of Katelyn Templeton. Rose is a kind soul, normally resorting to kindness and help rather than violence like her daughter. The compassionate and warm personality Rose holds is somewhat transmitted into Kate but not by a lot. Despite this happy demeanor, Rose remains nihilistic when Connor promises he'll bring Kate home from Ink Max's grasp. Only reason she retains this type of thought is due to her not fully understanding how Ink Max or The Ink as a whole works aside from potential rebirths and so forth. Therefore, she believes Kate is gone forever and she'll never return.
