Rosaria Sanchez

Peter Choi and Rosaria Sanchez

Rosaria "Rosie" Sanchez is the teenage daughter of of Huracán Sanchez and older sister of Esperanza Sanchez.

History

In 1995, Rosie met Peter Choy when they rescued Ollie, a five-year-old boy, from drowning in Central Park and were honored by the city of New York for their act of heroism. After that day, the two started a relationship (to the disapproval of their families). [1][2]

The two were mentioned in a newspaper article read by Hudson, Broadway, and Dino Dracon. ("High Noon", "Tale Old As Time")

In May 1997, while meeting in secret in Central Park, they were kidnapped by Dino Dracon, Glasses, and Pal Joey. Both were forced to pose for photographs depicting them as holding the other prisoner so that Dino could bait Choi Yingpei and Huracán Sanchez into going to war with each other. When Dino discovered that the true reason the teens were meeting was because they had fallen in love, he found it hilarious. ("Tale Old as Time", "Render Unto Caesar", "Mayday")

When Dino's plans began to unravel, he plotted to murder the two teenagers and send their remains to their relatives to reignite hostilites. But before he could kill them, they were rescued by Brooklyn, Lexington, Broadway, and Gnash and returned home. Rosaria explained to her father what had happened, but couldn't identify her masked abductors. ("Young At Heart", "Cold Comfort")

Rosaria and Pete were both in Times Square on Thanksgiving of 1997 and were enthralled by Demona's use of the Three New Keys to Power. ("Unequivocal Success")
