I wonder how did Rosalina's mother died.
Probably because it said that she'd visit every 100 years and if you don't have immortality, you die after 100 years.
True stuff.
However, in the storybook, when she realizes that her mother was dead, she was only a few years into leaving home. She decided at the last chapter that she would return to her planet every 100 years, meaning that it had not been 100 years yet.
The story also heavily supports the fact that Rosalina left to the galaxy thinking that her mother will be out there even though the entire time she knew that her mother was dead. Her mother told her that she would watch her from the stars, so the mother obviously knew that she wasn't going to live much longer (how she died who knows). She went with the Luma because she was in denial and was hoping that her mother was going to be in the stars like she said. Of course, the Lumas kept her mind off her mother and then she ended up becoming their mama for them. When she looked back at the planet, it finally hit her that after all these years, her mother was not here, and that is why she just completely fell apart.
I do believe that she does live on the same planet as Mario and them, which is also heavily supported in the game due to the fact that the Comet Observatory left at the end from the Gateway Galaxy and that the meteor showers appears every 100 years and Rosalina's comet came with it, and might have been the reason the meteor shower happens on the planet.
And yes, in the prima guide or whatever, Rosalina was mentioned to be related to Peach in some form, which would not be a surprise. However, the genetics of Rosalina being Peach's daughter makes no sense. While they have the same eyes and ears (even though basically all the Mario characters do), her hair is a very faded blonde, which is nothing like Peach's color hair. Not to mention that in her childhood she had strawberry blonde hair. There is a lot of reference to her being related to Peach, but not in that sort of sense.
One thing that I hope they touch on in the second part is the scene of the hill. Notice how - if the Mushroom Kingdom is where that tree lies - the storybook shows only the castle but no surrounding city/village in it. Notice how it just seems like things have greatly changed from when the storybook was depicted taking place in and where the Mushroom Kingdom is at now. These two things should be connected with the fact that Rosalina appears from home every one hundred years.
Rosalina is related to Peach by the fact that Rosalina is an ancestor of Peach's.
Rosalina was not the only child, which supports my theory, because she also had a brother, who probably became to be the Mushroom King. I don't know why or how Rosalina got her powers or how she basically became forever unaging, but those cryptic details are reasons why she is such an interesting character, and I kind of don't want to find out.
And while Mario characters are not very detailed in the way that things go in order or are connected, I think that Rosalina's Storybook was made for a Mario character that actually has a greater role in the Mario series than many other characters do. Rosalina - in a sense - may be one of the best things to happen to the Marioverse due to the fact that she actually has a plot-role in the Mario series as opposed to being some random plumber fighting a giant turtle for a princess (talking mainstream right now). She could potentially have background information about what the Mushroom Kingdom world is really like, and actually how characters and people are related to one another.
