Wuthering Waves

Roccia洛可可

First mate, stage-prop master, and improvisational performer of the Troupe of Fools

Roccia is a playable character in Wuthering Waves and the first mate of Rinascita’s Troupe of Fools. An inventive prop maker and improvisational comedian, she keeps the troupe’s ship and productions in working order while traveling with Pero, an unusual boxlike Echo and her closest companion. Her calm expression and reserved manner contrast with the bold theatrical gestures and unexpected humor she brings to the stage.

In combat, she is a five-star Havoc character who uses Gauntlets and stage-inspired techniques.

Biography

The First Mate Behind the Curtain

The Troupe of Fools is more than an acting company: its crew shares the work of maintaining a ship, preparing performances, and looking after one another. Roccia acts as first mate and backstage organizer, taking care of costumes, props, repairs, and the countless details needed to keep the group ready to perform. She may be quiet in conversation, but her responsibilities demand constant attention.

Her specialty is making apparently ordinary objects useful again. Rather than depending on elaborate supplies, she collects discarded items, repairs what can be saved, and gives each prop a part to play. Performances become opportunities to celebrate the lives and talents of fellow troupe members, not merely to impress an audience.

Pero, Her Remarkable Stage Partner

Roccia travels with Pero, a peculiar Echo whose appearance resembles a large, expressive box. Pero stores scripts and gadgets, reacts to the feelings and frequencies associated with objects, and helps Roccia communicate with other Echoes. Roccia treats Pero as a friend and collaborator rather than as an ordinary container for stage equipment.

The seemingly impossible space inside Pero’s box gives Roccia a convenient workshop and private retreat. Their partnership supports her inventive stagecraft and provides many of her quietest jokes, often delivered with a perfectly straight face.

A Theater Built Around Freedom

Roccia’s work carries an ideal beyond entertainment: she wants people to be able to sing, laugh, and express themselves freely. The troupe’s performances create room for those who feel frightened or isolated, and she is especially attentive to the practical things that make newcomers feel safe. Her approach is seldom loud or sentimental; she tends to help by repairing something, preparing food, or making a place for someone in a show.

Personality and Motivations

Roccia is introverted and sometimes struggles to find the right words, especially when others depend on her to speak for the group. Onstage, however, her deadpan delivery and exaggerated movements can make people laugh. She is aware of the contrast and willing to use it deliberately.

Her steadiness is practical rather than effortless. She pays attention to a ship’s condition, the crew’s comfort, and an audience’s mood; when anxious, she often finds a concrete job to do. Her artistic ideal is closely tied to generosity and freedom of expression, yet she is not above a dry complaint about a messy deck or an absent-minded coworker.

Appearance

Roccia has a small, youthful-looking build and very long hair styled into high, curling twin tails, predominantly blue with bright pink accents. Her eyes are different colors, and her costume mixes purple-blue harlequin patterns with a white fitted front, ruffles, dark pom-pom trim, and a theatrical head ornament with a small mask and featherlike decoration. The unusual silhouette makes her readily recognizable beside the oversized Pero.

Abilities

Improvisation and practical stagecraft

Roccia creates and repairs props, assembles costumes, organizes backstage resources, and transforms discarded objects into useful theatrical pieces.

Echo communication with Pero

Roccia communicates with other Echoes through Pero, who acts as a translator. Troupe medic Benir observes that their connection has developed toward communication through frequencies, but explicitly treats his proposed classification of Roccia as provisional.

Magic Box and spatial tricks

Pero’s unusually spacious box stores Roccia’s scripts, gadgets and props and even serves as her private lounge. Roccia and Pero also make it part of their theatrical combat presentation.

Acrobatic Trick

Her Resonance Skill pulls nearby opponents toward her while dealing Havoc damage, then launches her upward into a special airborne state.

A Prop Master Prepares

Her Forte Circuit builds and spends Imagination to perform up to three Real Fantasy attacks while in Beyond Imagination; these airborne attacks deal Havoc damage counted as Heavy Attack damage.

Limitations: Each Real Fantasy attack spends 100 Imagination; the Beyond Imagination state ends when Roccia is no longer airborne or switches out.

Commedia Improvviso!

Her Resonance Liberation deals Havoc damage counted as Heavy Attack damage and grants the entire team a flat ATK increase for 30 seconds, based on Roccia’s Crit. Rate above 50%.

Limitations: Only Crit. Rate above 50% increases the team bonus, which is capped at 200 ATK.

Applause, Please!

Her Outro Skill grants the next character 20% Havoc damage amplification and 25% Basic Attack damage amplification.

Limitations: Both effects last for up to 14 seconds and end early if the affected character switches out.

Relationships

Pero

Closest companion and creative partner

Pero works with Roccia on shows, holds many of her treasured tools and scripts, and helps her understand the frequencies associated with Echoes and objects.

Brant

Captain and leader of her troupe

Brant leads the Troupe of Fools while Roccia serves as first mate. She appreciates his daring commitment to freedom, even while teasing the contrast between his dramatic style and everyday paperwork.

Tina

Troupe helmsperson and trusted colleague

Tina’s seamanship and singing complement Roccia’s practical leadership. Roccia relies on her at sea and respects her contribution to their performances.

Battier

Fellow troupe member and fisherman

Battier supplies the troupe with fish, and Roccia’s care for his treasured tools shows how seriously she takes each crewmate’s morale.

Interesting facts

Roccia persuaded the troupe medic to replace a teacup-based assessment with a test involving homemade clam soup.

Benir could still observe her condition, but the soup also became a meal to share with the troupe.

She built a confetti pistol from reused materials.

The device reflects her habit of turning scraps into small celebrations rather than reserving props only for formal productions.

Pero had already lived for a century by the time Roccia became her theatrical companion.

The partnership brought warmth and fresh purpose to Pero’s long life; their friendship benefits both rather than treating Pero as mere stage equipment.

Her culinary preference includes spaghetti Bolognese, which she particularly likes sharing with others.

Even her food preferences connect to the troupe’s communal way of living instead of solitary extravagance.

Major story spoilers below.

A Child Sent Into Exile

Roccia was once among the people sent away from Ragunna on a so-called pilgrimage. As a child she had taken part in forbidden theatrical songs, an offense under the Order’s restrictions. Her ship was wrecked near the Strand; weak and surrounded by danger, she expected the journey to end there. Pero found her and offered help, bringing her into the Troupe of Fools. Only later did she understand that the supposed pilgrimage was exile rather than a path to sacred redemption.

She initially doubted what theater could mean after learning how performance had been controlled. Pero offered her scripts, a handmade return ticket, and a place in a joyful welcome performance alongside Brant, Tina, and other troupe members. Their unrestricted theatrical community gave her both a new home and a reason to continue making art.

Learning to Lead and Care for the Crew

To prove herself as first mate, Roccia accompanied Tina on a voyage through a severe storm. When frightening voices and shapes in the water unsettled her, she joined Tina in song and used a telescope to help guide their course. The episode established her reliability without pretending she had never been afraid.

When the fisherman Battier lost a cherished harpoon to a sea creature, Roccia helped bring him home and later arranged a spectacular reunion with his lost tool using a Cloudcaster. The crew turned the experience into a play. A similar mixture of craft and compassion appears when she makes a decorated return ticket for the young exile Luca, responding to homesickness with a handmade promise of belonging.

Starry is the Night: A Play for the Banished

In Roccia’s Companion Story, Brant and Bardolino leave her responsible for welcoming a new group of exiled pilgrims. She asks Rover for help after the survivors are attacked and brought ashore. Some are injured and others have been devastated by the deaths of companions during their voyage. Roccia learns that several had been punished for performing the banned opera Pegasus; she resolves to stage it again so their lost friends and ideals will not be forgotten.

Together with Rover and Pero, Roccia repairs belongings recovered from the stranded vessel and uses Luceanites to illuminate the stage. Luca’s missing star, a cherished symbol of hope, leads them toward Plushie Echoes who are searching for their former owners. Their owners had not simply abandoned them: people sent into exile severed these bonds to keep the Order from confiscating the Echoes and erasing their memories. One Echo finds its surviving master, while others recover treasured belongings left by owners who did not survive. By incorporating these keepsakes into Pegasus, Roccia gives the reunited performers and their memories a place in the welcoming show.

After the show, Roccia thanks Rover for helping the troupe begin a new voyage toward Ragunna. She offers an invitation to join the company without demanding an answer and gives Rover a rare dark Luceanite threaded with gold as a parting gift. Her earlier fear of handling the welcome ceremony gives way to the satisfaction of having cared for the whole ensemble.

An Opening Beyond Penitent’s End

Roccia’s character story New Stage describes years of shows on Penitent’s End, many of them based on the crew’s own experiences. When the sounds of Carnevale and the news of a Laureate reach the island, the troupe is drawn back toward Ragunna. Following Brant and the others into the city, Roccia encounters familiar sights, food, and music that connect her new life with memories of the home from which she was expelled.

During a later Ragunna main-story appearance in Chapter II Act X, Roccia performs beside Brant in a public scene that considers fear, courage, and hope. The role remains consistent with her chosen way of resisting despair: she turns difficult truths into something people can face together onstage. The released material examined does not establish a single final endpoint for Roccia’s ongoing life or the troupe.

Additional story facts

Pero once gave the newly rescued Roccia a handmade return ticket, and Roccia later made a different return ticket for Luca.

The small object links two separate episodes of care: Roccia passes forward the same kind of hope she once received.

The troupe’s program on Penitent’s End grew to more than two hundred performances.

This places Roccia’s inventiveness in a sustained community practice rather than a single decisive show.

Spoiler questions

Why was Roccia exiled from Ragunna?

She was sent away after singing material from forbidden plays. She later learned the supposed pilgrimage was a punitive exile imposed by the Order.

Who saved Roccia after her shipwreck?

Pero reached Roccia on the Strand and helped bring her into the Troupe of Fools, where she built a new life.

What happens in Roccia’s Starry is the Night story?

Roccia helps rescued pilgrims recover from their voyage and stages Pegasus with Rover, Pero and the troupe. Repairing belongings and recovering Luca’s star lets one Plushie Echo reunite with its owner and others recover keepsakes of the people they lost.

What is the meaning of Luca’s star?

It was a memento associated with Luca’s mother and the hope celebrated in Pegasus. Recovering it helps the survivors reclaim a shared source of courage.

Does Roccia return to Ragunna?

Her New Stage character story describes Roccia accompanying Brant and the troupe into Ragunna after news of the Carnevale reaches Penitent’s End.

What does Roccia give Rover after the welcoming opera?
