This relationship did not remain as an element of the final story, but is the reason for the design similarities between Peach and Rosalina.
When Rosalina's character was in early development, the Super Mario Galaxy development team contemplated having her character be related to Princess Peach. So telling her story as a fairytale by reading the book to all the Lumas as if they were young children at storytime just seemed like the mood-appropriate way to accomplish this." In another interview, Koizumi stated "I felt in this case that the Lumas and Rosalina really needed a story to explain what they were doing out there and to give the players a deeper understanding of their presence. In an interview, Shigeru Miyamoto stated that in developing Super Mario Galaxy (2007), while he had planned the usual kidnapping of Princess Peach, he also "had another cast of characters, a princess from outer space and her family of talking stars, who had a deeper, sadder story that was revealed through elegant picture-book scenes throughout the game." This storybook was known in-game as Rosalina's Storybook, which told Rosalina's backstory and was written by Yoshiaki Koizumi late at night so that no one would find out about it, saying that "for a long time, it really felt like telling a story in a Mario game was something that wasn't allowed" in an interview.
