Rose washing

The process of changing the events of a story or history to make it appear more pleasant than reality at the expense of the cold hard truth.

Often to present an agenda in misleading facts to make some historical events or periods more attractive to modern audiences. Downplaying unethical choices made in the past.

Or seen in movies and TV, where producers ignore original source facts to construct a story of their own liking. For instance:
Turning as novel about both sides in a war committing atrocities to good guys vs bad guys, establishing a clear direction in narrative to influence audience bias.
I can't believe they are rose washing the story of Alexander Hamilton! They ignored his contributions to slavery!

Bella Rose

Bella Rose is a girl who is still defining herself. She struggles sometimes in life but people think she is perfect. She is aiming to be smart, successful, put together, strong, kind, generous, bold, outgoing, and much more. She is an extrovert, loves being around people. Sometimes she feels like she doesn't fit in with everyone around her, she doesn't have social media, she doesn't say bad words, and she doesn't dress provocative. Those are some things she struggles with but she doesn't want to be just anyone. Bella Rose has also decided and has made a goal to make a definition for anything she feels the need to when she wants to. So that is what she'll do now. When she is happy, sad, or mad.
Bella Rose is a unique name.
