Biography
Early life
Rosenda was orphaned in the early years of the Human-Covenant War when the Covenant glassed her homeworld. She was identified as a potential candidate for the first class of the SPARTAN-III program at a young age and, after "volunteering" for the program, was taken to the classified world Onyx for training under Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose and SCPO Franklin Mendez in late 2532. Rosenda was identified by Ambrose and Mendez as one of a handful of exceptional specimens within the SPARTAN-III Alpha Company and was extracted from the group before the disastrous Operation: PROMETHEUS. She and a small number of other Spartans were given MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor and were assigned to smaller special operations units and eventually NOBLE Team, under the operational authority of Unified Special Warfare Command.[3]
Military career
As part of NOBLE's earliest roster, Rosenda served under the callsign "Noble Four". As part of NOBLE, she partook in a number of operations throughout the Human-Covenant War including DIRE MORNING, FANCY DRESS, and finally, OFFSET EYE[4] on Concord.[5]

During the Defense of Concord, she worked alongside NOBLE to capture a Covenant Zashk-pattern Draugr siege vehicle, though at the mission's conclusion she was then transferred to other clandestine operations.[4]
Later career
With Rosenda's reassignment from NOBLE, she did not take part in the fatal Battle of Fumirole and Fall of Reach, with her position in the team instead being fulfilled by Emile-A239. Despite this, NOBLE's commanding officer, Colonel Urban Holland, considered replacing Emile-A239 with Rosenda should a counterinsurgency operation have arisen, due to the former's extreme aggression toward insurgents.[6] As such, she was able to survive through the end of the Human-Covenant War unscathed. At some time in the post-war or Created uprising eras, she was invited to a meeting by fellow ex-NOBLE member Jun-A266, which she accepted.[2]
Production notes
Rosenda was originally intended to play a larger role in Halo: Reach as a member of Noble Team.[7] However, she was cut from the game and is only mentioned in the Noble Team performance reports. She was noted as having a sassy personality.[7] "Rosenda" is one of the name options for customized loadouts in Halo: Reach, along with the names of the members of Noble Team and several Spartan-IIs.[8]
Rosenda's Spartan tag was first associated with the tag number 344 in Halo 3: ODST's license plate Easter eggs: "KNS 344R" was long assumed to stand for "Rosenda-344, Noble Seven". Catalog confirmed her tag several years later in addition to identifying her as a member of Alpha Company.[1]
