S-A344[1]

 

Rosenda-A344 is a SPARTAN-III supersoldier, trained as a member of Alpha Company.[1] She fell under the operational authority of Unified Special Warfare Command as of 2552. Colonel Urban Holland, the commanding officer of Spartan NOBLE Team, considered replacing Emile-A239 with Rosenda should a counterinsurgency operation have arisen, due to their latter's extreme aggression toward insurgents.[2][3] Assuming she survived the war, Rosenda was presumably given the choice to integrate into the Spartan branch as with the other remaining Spartan-IIIs.

Trivia

  • Rosenda was originally intended to play a larger role in Halo: Reach as a member of Noble Team. 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.[2]
  • 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]
  • "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.[4]
  • If a player wished to (somewhat) recreate Rosenda's concept art armor, they would need the CQC helmet w/HUL attachment, Recon left shoulder, FJ/PARA or Default right shoulder, the Commando chest piece, Tactical/Hard Case equipment, GUNGNIR knee guards, and a Gold visor, with Sage as the primary color and Silver as the secondary color.
