Rose Franklin

Rose Franklin is the Senior Scientist at the Enrico Fermi Institute’s department studying the hand. A PH.D, Rose first discovered the hand as an 11-year-old girl, when she fell into the hole containing the hand. Rose, as a scientist, has a healthy respect for mystery and the unknown – not out of fear or superstition,but out of the realization that people do not know everything. It makes her a better, more objective scientist who is aware of human limits. However, her moral concerns about researching and testing the device – knowing it is a weapon in the vein of the atom bomb – does not dissuade her from enjoying her work and wanting to see things through. Rose is later obliterated in an accident with the device, only to wake up four years later in better health than before, and with no memory of the device.
