Rosalind is a closer moon to Uranus. It was found from the images taken by Voyager 2 on January 13, 1986, and was given the designation S/1986 U 4.^[5] It was named after the daughter of the banished Duke in William Shakespeare's play As You Like It. It is also designated Uranus XIII.^[6]

Rosalind belongs to Portia Group of moons, which also includes Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Portia, Juliet, Cupid, Belinda and Perdita.^[4] These moons have similar orbits and photometric properties.^[4] Unfortunately, other than its orbit,^[1] radius of 36 km^[2] and geometric albedo of 0.08^[4] almost nothing is known about it.

At the Voyager 2 images Rosalind appears as an almost spherical object. The ratio of axises of the Rosalind's prolate spheroid is 1.0-0.8.^[2] Its surface is grey in color.^[2]
