Before King’s Quest IV was released, word leaked out that Graham would have a heart attack and might die.  Fans were upset enough to write in, asking to save Graham.  I wanted King’s Quest IV to have some pressure applied to you: a timed game, taking place over a 24-hour period, so you roam around during the day and eventually it turns to night.  I don’t remember other games using the same scenes at night; it looked creepy.

Princess Rosella is the twin sister of [[Prince Alexander|Prince Alexander of Daventry]] and daughter of [[King Graham]] and [[Queen Valanice]] of Daventry. She was introduced in [[King's Quest III: To Heir is Human]] in a non-playing role. In [[King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella]] She became the main character in one of the first video games to have a female protagonist. {{CitationReq}}

When I was designing Perils of Rosella, I was told by all the guys at my company that no guy is going to want to play from a woman's point of view. I said, ""There's a lot of women out there who would play this, and I don't think that men will mind.'' The game did extremely well. Afterwards we did a survey asking our fans if they minded playing the other gender. Most of the male respondents said, ""I don't mind playing a female at all, as long as it's fun.'' But the women said, ""I would prefer to play a female.''

Rosella only has a small non-playing role at the end of [[King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow]]. In [[King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride]] she plays one of the two protagonists, a game that switches back and forth between Rosella and her mother, Queen Valanice.
