Rose

Rose is the sister of Scarlet. She and her sister were members of a Nikke squad specialized in melee combat. Rose is also the original wielder of Fleetly Fading, Scarlet's signature weapon. While little is known about Rose's life before becoming a Nikke, it is known that she was Scarlet's older sister. Despite being Scarlet's superior in swordplay, Rose could never surpass her sister in other matters, such as cooking, cleaning, and organizing. Later, Rose and the other melee-specialized Nikkes were rolled together into Melee Squad, a unit of mass-produced Nikkes intended to engage Raptures in close combat. Rose was designated the leader as she possessed the highest simulator scores at the time. When it came to the Melee Squad's first mission, Rose was the first to jump into a Rapture nest and begin slicing away at the enemy, compelling Scarlet and eventually the rest of the squad to jump in as well. Their very first mission was a success with zero casualties. Over the course of several missions, the Melee Squad saw increasing success against the Raptures. Yet their fortune didn't last long, as mechanical failures, supply droughts, ambushes, and Mind Switches saw the squad's numbers slowly dwindle. Despite Rose's pleas, the squad's "commander" refused to say or do anything about the situation. All came to a head when the Melee Squad was tasked with a mission that bordered on suicide. Rose had already considered instigating a rebellion to ensure her squad's survival, but this mission was the final nail in the coffin, especially once she learned the truth. The UFH was deliberately sabotaging the Melee Squad in a "survival of the fittest," and the remaining survivor would be remodeled into a Grimms Model. Thus, Rose began her rebellion in the most shocking way she could by executing her "commander" with the very blade she used to fell Raptures.
