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]
