"When Rose first meets Finn, Finn is already a hero of the Rresistance, so she’s heard about all his adventures from The Force Awakens, and when she first meets him she’s kind of a fangirl about it," she tells SFX. 

"But as the film goes on you get to see what it means to meet a hero, and actually realize who they are. Their relationship sort of morphs throughout the movie that way."

We also learn a little bit more about Rose herself. She's a maintenance worker for the Resistance, and Tran describes her as a "smart, brave and loyal" person. "She’s not a princess, she’s not a superhero. She’s in the Resistance, and she is aware of things that are happening, but she’s always been someone who’s worked behind pipes, fixing things. She’s never been someone who’s been at the forefront of the action, but in this movie she gets pulled into it"
