Perspective
The series follows 5-year-old Rosie Fuentes as she investigates and learns about the area around her San Antonio, Texas home. Rosie lives in a multicultural environment, as her father originates from Mexico City and her mother is from Wisconsin. She learns about her diverse community and the greater world with the support of her family, friends, and her cat sidekick, Gatita. The show is primarily in English, but incorporates Spanish words and phrases.[3][4]
Every episode begins with a problem arising in Rosie's daily life, or her coming across a concept that she doesn't quite understand. This leads into Rosie singing the song "I Gotta Know", consisting of her (usually fantastical) interpretations of what she is wondering about. The song's lyrics are changed in each episode depending on the main subject. Over the course of an episode, Rosie will turn to the audience and come up with "rules", which are normally astute discoveries and happenings that she witnesses around her.
Every episode reaches its climax with Rosie feeling overwhelmed by the main conflict, either because of her efforts to solve it escalating the situation or she cannot handle it by herself. In an effort to relax, she declares she needs "flop" and falls to the ground. She then talks herself through deep breaths and wiggles her body. Once Rosie is calmed down, she points her index finger upward and gets back up, stating "vamos a ver" (a Spanish phrase meaning "we'll see").
At some point in every episode, Rosie calls her Abuela on a tablet, asking for help with the problem she is facing. Abuela will then give advice to Rosie or explain something further to her; this will give Rosie some insight on how her problem can be solved. Using what Abuela tells her, Rosie either finds a solution or understands a new concept. This is followed by a short song about the curriculum; these are typically sung by Rosie, but will sometimes include other characters. At the end of each episode, Rosie states to the viewer the lesson she has learned as her final "rule".

Characters
Main
- Rosalía "Rosie" Fuentes (speaking voice by Ellora López and singing voice by Ana Sofía Ferrer) is the protagonist of the series; a young girl who makes various special "rules" that are included in each episode. She is the younger half-sister of Crystal and older sister of Iggy. She has a very sweet and playful disposition, and tends to create portmanteaus for certain words (ex. "wow-mazing"). Everyone generally likes Rosie and are willing to help her out. Rosie is Mexican-American, attributed to her father's side since her grandmother currently lives in Mexico. As such, she is bilingual in both English and Spanish, and frequently alternates between the two while speaking.
- Gatita (vocal effects provided by Denise Oliver) is the Fuentes' pet cat and Rosie's sidekick, joining in her games or activities. While mostly behaving like a regular cat, she usually expresses human-like emotions, and sometimes proves herself as being smarter than Rosie.
- Crystal Fuentes (voiced by Gabby Clarke) is the 12-year-old half-sister of Rosie and Iggy Fuentes, and the stepdaughter of Marco Fuentes. She is the biological daughter of Liz from a previous relationship in Wisconsin, where Liz lived with her brother Steve. Crystal loves guiding Rosie, sometimes using her artistic talents to help Rosie out of a problem. She often likes to gloat about being the oldest of the Fuentes children, but is still fond of childish things such as balloon animals and merry-go-rounds. Crystal enjoys a wide range of hobbies, including art, ballet, ice skating, soccer, roller skating, and playing the tuba.
- Ignácio "Iggy" Fuentes (voiced by Oscar Whalen) is Rosie's 2-year-old little brother and Crystal's half-brother. Due to his youth, he usually speaks in the third person and is prone to misunderstandings. Above all else, Iggy idolizes his older sister, Rosie (whom he affectionately calls "Wosie"), following her around as a ready and willing assistant, while also having a close relationship with Gatita. He has a stuffed pink axolotl named Lote.
- Marco Fuentes/Papá (voiced by Carlos Díaz) is Rosie and Iggy's father, Crystal's stepfather and Liz's husband who brings an infectious energy to any situation. Very proud of his Mexican heritage, Papá loves sharing stories of his upbringing in Mexico City.
- Liz Fuentes/Mom (voiced by Denise Oliver) is Rosie, Crystal and Iggy's mother and Marco's wife who has a younger brother named Steve. She is the biological mother of Crystal, whom she gave birth to prior to marrying Marco. She owns the town's bookstore, which the Fuentes children will sometimes visit. Liz also hosts the "Storytime with Mom" interstitials that appear in some episodes.
Recurring
- Beatríz Gomez/Abuela (voiced by Amanda Martínez) is Rosie and Iggy's grandmother, Crystal's step-grandmother, Liz's mother-in-law and Marco and Margarita's mother. Abuela lives in Mexico City in the same house Papá and Tía grew up in. However, living far away doesn't stop her from seeing her family. In every episode, Rosie will make a video call to Abuela, where she’ll ask her for help with whatever problem she is facing. She calls her grandkids "granito de arroz", which is a food-based nickname meaning "grain of rice".
- Margarita Gomez/Tía (voiced by Paloma Nuñez) is Rosie and Iggy's aunt, Crystal's step aunt, Marco's sister, Liz's sister-in-law, Javi's mother, and Beatríz's daughter who owns a small Mexican fusion restaurant in town. She also serves as a soccer coach for Javi.
- Javier "Javi" Gomez (voiced by Desmond Sivan) is Rosie and Iggy's 5-year-old cousin and Crystal's half-cousin. Rosie frequently calls him "primo", and likewise, he often calls her "prima". He helps Rosie with her problem-solving escapades, and often lends a different, more sensical perspective on things. Like Rosie, he is a fan of The Purple Knight and Wonder Walrus.
- Jun Liu (voiced by Emma Ho) is an athletic, tomboyish 7-year-old girl who is Rosie's best friend, and often hangs out with her. She also enjoys baking with her mom, as seen in "The Cake-Off". Jun is Chinese-American, as her grandparents are from Shanghai. She celebrates Chinese New Year, alongside the rest of the Liu family.
- Quinn Liu (voiced by Ian Ho) is Jun's twin brother. Like his sister, he enjoys playing many kinds of sports, including soccer and tennis. He is also interested in theatre, as seen in "On With the Show".
- Grandpa Liu (voiced by Russell Yuen) is Jun and Quinn's grandfather.
- Steve (voiced by Scott Gorman) is Rosie, Crystal, and Iggy's uncle, Liz's younger brother and Marco's brother-in-law.
- Calvin (voiced by Joseph Motiki) is the cook in Rosie's town, running the local bakery. He holds other jobs throughout the series, such as volunteering at the community theater, hosting a cake decorating contest, and leading a disc-throwing competition.
- Dragon is Crystal’s pet bunny who she adopts from the animal shelter.
- Maya (voiced by Saara Chaudry) is the neighborhood's mail carrier happy to visit Rosie and her family. In "Rosie and Javi's Slime Store", it is revealed that Maya has nieces. Maya appears to be of Islamic descent, as she usually wears a red hijab.

- Hazel (voiced by Stacey DePass) is grocery store worker whom Rosie and Papá are familiar with.
- Purple Knight (voiced by Stephany Seki) is Rosie’s favorite knight character.
