Rose Greenbaum (b. 2062[1]) was the eldest daughter of Nate Greenbaum, a Ripper, and Isis Greenbaum. She had a deep affinity for theater, especially Broadway, something she shared with her uncle, David Greenbaum.[2] After David's spouse Ramon Abarca died in July 2078, David decided to go back in time to prevent the premature deaths of a number of key figures of Broadway theatre. He convinced Rose to help him.
Rose Greenbaum initially became aware of David's plans on August 18, 2078, when she and her friend Zanzi Stubbs decided to stay at his apartment in Greenwich Village when an accident shut down their subway line. The two girls were in the apartment alone for a time, and Rose explored, finding items that suggested to her that David might be manufacturing drugs. Further, when David returned, she saw that he'd gained weight and looked very tired. He claimed that he'd taken up photography as a new hobby. When he let the girls go through various items that had belong to Ramon, he angrily warned Rose to leave a particular box alone. When Rose shared her concerns with her parents the next day, they ascribed it to David processing her grief.[3]
Rose still noticed odd behaviors from David as 2078 ended and 2079 began. During a birthday party for Bertie in January, 2079, David talked to Nate about the technical aspects of time travel. However, only Rose seemed to find this strange, as time travel had been a sort of running joke among the Greenbaum brothers and Ramon.[4] He also would not commit to Rose living with him in the event she was accepted to college in the city.[5]
On January 19, 2079, Nate Greenbaum was scheduled to go back in time at noon. David Greenbaum had sufficiently altered his appearance to resemble Nate that he was ready to put his plan into action. However, the plan was almost foiled when Rose came to visit him as he was preparing to leave. After a tense conversation, Rose volunteered to go with him to the SlingShot at Yale to reduce the risks posed to him and the techs. Greenbaum finally agreed. With Rose acting as if she were seeing her father off, David Greenbaum was sent into the past. Her father and a security guard entered just after, and Rose admitted her role in David's act.[6] She also informed the group that David had brought a bag that he claimed contained a bomb. Out an abundance of caution, Nate ordered the lab evacuated.[7]
