Spartan Saturday — Rosenda-A344

A member of SPARTAN-III Alpha Company, Rosenda served on NOBLE Team during several operations, including DIRE MORNING, FANCY DRESS, and finally OFFSET EYE. Following this last mission in December 2551, she was reassigned.

Emile-A239 took Rosenda's place as Noble Four, though Colonel Holland considered returning her to NOBLE if the team was assigned to counterinsurgency operations. Rosenda ultimately survived the war and at one point agreed to a meeting with Jun-A266.

Happy birthday to Spartan Rosenda-A344!

Today is her -501st birthday!

Rosenda was born on Earth but moved to Vodin with her family when she was a child. She became orphaned when the Covenant glassed the planet in 2532, and was approached by ONI. She "enlisted" in the SPARTAN-III program, as part of Alpha Company. Like all SPARTAN-IIIs, she was trained and augmented on Onyx. Rosenda was one of the few to survive Operation: PROMETHEUS because she was extracted from Alpha Company and subsequently given an assignment to NOBLE team.

She and NOBLE enjoyed a good rapport, and she remained with them until she was reassigned in 2551. Because of this, she was not present for the Battle of Fumirole, which would lead to the death of Thom-A293, or for the Fall of Reach. She survived to see the end of the war and was subsequently sent to target Covenant remnants and human rebels. At some point, she was contacted by her old NOBLE teammate Jun and agreed to meet with him for a yet-unknown purpose.

In canon (~2560), she is turning 35!

HALO: WINTER CONTENTION

December 2551. Though the Covenant invasion of Concord has seen a rare UNSC victory, the Spartans of Noble Team find themselves stranded in a remote hinterland town. While the Covenant’s orbital presence has been neutralized, the remaining alien survivors have regrouped and prepare to make a devastating final stand. With dwindling time and no reinforcements, Kat-B320 comes up with a daring plan to do what Spartans do best and turn the tide—and it’s up to Thom-A293 and Rosenda-A344 to make it happen.

Alongside the Noble Intention event in Halo Infinite, the arrival of Spartans Thom-A293 and Rosenda-A344 brings a new short story that explores an earlier configuration of Noble Team, seven months before the events leading to the fall of Reach would take place.

Bad Dream (ALT VERSION)

Linda stirred in the dim light of their quarters, feeling a gentle yet persistent poking at her foot. She squinted, her vision adjusting to the darkness, and saw three small figures standing at the edge of the bed. "Linda...?" a soft, tentative voice broke the silence. It was Kat, her normally confident demeanor replaced by a vulnerable edge. She was dressed in simple pajamas, her short brown hair tousled from sleep.

Rosenda, with her long dark hair cascading down her shoulders, stood beside Kat, clutching a plush toy tightly to her chest. Her big eyes were wide with worry. "We had bad dreams," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.

Emile, the smallest of the three, peeked out from behind Rosenda. His usual bravado was absent, replaced by a timid expression that made him look even younger. "Can we stay here?" he asked, his voice barely audible.

Linda sighed softly, her maternal instincts kicking in. She nudged John gently. "John, wake up. We have company."John groaned, blinking awake. "What's going on?" he mumbled, sitting up. He saw the three younger Spartans and immediately understood. His expression softened. "Bad dreams, huh?"

Kat nodded, looking a bit embarrassed. "Yeah. We... we didn't want to be alone."

John smiled warmly. "It's okay. Come on up."

Linda shifted to make room, and the three teens eagerly climbed onto the bed. Kat settled next to Linda, while Rosenda and Emile snuggled up between her and John. The bed felt crowded, but it also felt right.

Linda wrapped an arm around Kat, pulling her close. "Do you want to talk about it?" she asked gently.Kat shook her head. "Not really. Just... nightmares."

Rosenda, still clutching her plush toy, looked up at John. "Will you tell us a story, John? Like you used to?"

John chuckled softly. "Alright, alright. Let's see... How about the time we had to outsmart a pack of Jackals on Requiem?"

Emile's eyes lit up with excitement, the fear from his nightmares momentarily forgotten. "Yeah! That one's good!"

As John began to recount the tale, his voice soothing and reassuring, the tension in the room gradually eased. Kat leaned into Linda, her eyes growing heavy with sleep. Rosenda clutched her toy a little less tightly, a small smile playing on her lips. Emile, nestled against John's side, listened intently, his earlier fear replaced by fascination.

"...and then, just as the Jackal thought it had us cornered, we sprang the trap and sent them running with their tails between their legs," John concluded, his voice low and calming.

Linda looked down at Kat, who was now fast asleep. Rosenda's eyes were closed, her breathing steady and calm. Emile's head drooped against John's shoulder, his small frame relaxed.

John smiled, glancing over at Linda. "Looks like they're out," he whispered.Linda nodded, her own eyes heavy with sleep. "Goodnight, John."

"Goodnight, Linda," he replied, his voice soft.

As the room settled into quiet once more, the comforting presence of family and the warmth of shared stories enveloped them all, warding off the lingering shadows of the night.

Gahhhhh they’re so cute. Such soft little cozy dorks. I love it.
