Rossa

Rossa is a character in the main storyline who first appears at the end of Chapter 2. She and her partner Nero, lead Fisica and Ritmo through the Tunnel of the National Institute of Notalium in Chapter 3.

## Physical Information

* Female
* Age: 25
* Height: 149 cm (4 ft. 11 in.)

## Appearance

Rossa has brown eyes and a relatively slim figure, but much shorter than Fisica and Ritmo. She has red hair with a ponytail and wears a cloak similar to Ritmo's, but brown. Like Fisica, she wears earrings infused with Notalium to protect against the effects of Al Niente. She has a brown shirt and a brown belt with jean shorts. She wears brown boots with a buckle halfway down.

## Personality

She does not show much of an outgoing personality, as she does not take time to get to know Fisica or Ritmo when they first meet. She treated them coldly until Fisica saved her from a falling rock in Chapter 3, Section 3. Even after this, she only said "......Thank you."

Rossa relies heavily on her wits to get through situations, which is a sort of façade that she holds up pretty well. The only time this was broken was in Chapter 3, Section 3, when Fisica saved her from a falling rock. She was dumbfounded at Fisica's kindness, and was at a loss for words.

Although she typically acts cold and enigmatic, she has a more childish side that seems to come out when she is interrupted by her partner, Nero. When Ritmo asks who she and Nero are in the  Chapter 3 Introduction, she says, "It does not matter who we are," but Nero replies, "Her name is Rossa." To this, Rossa complains, "Hey, don't reveal any information unnecessarily, Nero!"

Although she does not speak much, when she does, it will usually contain purely factual information; rarely voicing her own opinion when it has to do from a situation that is not completely logical.

## Main Story

Rossa and her partner Nero first make their appearance at the end of Chapter 2. Like Nero, she was a scientist, trying to create a tuning device. Unlike Ritmo, they both failed in their goal. The two abandoned their village, instead joining the Silent Border Guard, an organization dedicated to maintaining Al Niente in the world.

Rossa and Nero were a group of survivors from various Notalium catastrophes. After viewing the potential harm Notalium could cause, the two forbade the use of Tuning unless extremely necessary. This angers Ritmo, who argues with Rossa during NIENTE.

In Chapter 4 the four board the Aircraft, intending to reach the Silent Border Guard's headquarters. However, this does not go as planned, and the craft crashes en route. Throughout the entirety of Chapter 5, Rossa and Nero are separated from Fisica and Ritmo.

In Chapter 6, Rossa and Nero are captured by Halpas and held captive and unconscious in a cell. According to Halpas, they are fine. Once escaping from the two Androids, Fisica and Ritmo decide to rescue them.

## Relationships

Fisica

     Not particularly unfriendly toward. When they first met, Rossa tried to stop her and Ritmo because she was told that they were "hostile." Rossa thought of Fisica  more as a friend after she saved her from a falling rock in Chapter 3, Section 3, and even apologized later in Section 6 about the prior unfriendliness with a more refined apology. In Section 4, when Fisica asked learn more about the 'outside world,' she said, "No problem." At the beginning of Chapter 5's Story, Rossa speaks to Fisica on the airship, and seems understanding of her desire to continue restoring world order. Their relationship seems to become friendlier as the story continues.

Ritmo

     They mostly only interact when she is speaking to both Fisica and Ritmo at once, but she seems to be slightly more snappy toward Ritmo. In the Chapter 3 Introduction, Ritmo asked, "Who are you two exactly?" To which she replied, "It does not matter who we are." This was the only personal interaction the two had. She, most likely, started to bond with Ritmo after the incident with the falling rock in Chapter 3, Section 3 like she did with Fisica. Their relationship seems to become hostile as the two argue in Chapter 4, Section 4 about tuning and restoring the world order. They continue yelling until Fisica tells them to stop. However, in the appendix of NIENTE, the two seem to come to a sort of realization. They appear to change their views about each other, with Rossa thinking "...Though you might not be completely bragging."

Nero

     Her work partner for an unknown duration. Usually, she talks to him at a professional level, as they theorized with each other after every time Ritmo tuned. When Nero interrupted her in the Chapter 3 Introduction, she got slightly irritated at him, suggesting that they have been working together long enough that she can act casual around him. Outside of the main story, the pair are seen having desserts outside on a balcony in Chapter M. It is clear the two have a good relationship, with Rossa joking about Nero's love of sweets and hanging out together.

Gracie
A dog she and Nero both owned for an unknown duration who was shown in Chapter M. Currently not accompanying them now, so it is best to assume that they lost Gracie when Al Niente occurred or is kept safe at the Silence Border Guard base.

## In-Game Biography

* In-Game Biography

One of the members of the Silence Border Guard. Nero's partner. Rossa once worked with Nero on Notalium technology research, trying to produce Notalium tuners. But in an accident that caused "Al Niente" due to a tuning experiment failure, she witnessed the terrifying moment when Al Niente took place. Then, the two of them joined the Silence Border Guard, determined to maintain the status quo of the world and prevent the tragedy from happening again. Rossa is still very mindful about her past failure and is reluctant to talk about it with anyone.

Rossa has a cheerful and outgoing personality. She cares a lot about her partners, but can be a bit careless and therefore, needs Nero by her side to constantly remind her of certain details.

Rosa's favorite leisure activity is to take her dog, Gracie, out for a walk and run in the meadow together. If she gets tired, she will rest under the shades of a tree and enjoy a relaxing time playing the harmonica.
