Greetings

Welcome to Rose of May, a small website created and maintained by about Beatrix, the General of Alexandria's all-female army in Squaresoft's 2000 RPG Final Fantasy IX. As you look around, tread carefully as this place is rife with unmarked spoilers. I hope you enjoy your visit and find what you are looking for!

O rose of May!

The current layout features concept artwork of Beatrix by Yoshitaka Amano and a muted, delicate colour scheme to tone down the garishness of the original image. The nineteenth century poem which is quoted is, of course, The Rose of May by Mary Howitt, which can be read in full here. The menu on the left hand side will take you to wherever you want to go and clicking on the header will return you to this page.
