Rosie is an animal character in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series. She was Richard's pet, and was adopted by Marlon after her previous owner fled. She remained under Marlon's care until his death.
Overview[]
Rosie is described by Marlon as being "as cuddly as they come. Except when she's mauling walkers that is". To her allies, Rosie is sweet and friendly. She always looks out for her owners and will do whatever it takes to protect them. However, she can be untrusting towards those she doesn't know very well. If Clementine is distant from Rosie, she won't trust her. However, if the player is friendly with Rosie, she will be friendly towards her. To her enemies, Rosie is brutal and unrelenting. She has no qualms with dealing with walkers, with her first scene being her mauling one to death. She demonstrates her brutality more when she brutally bites Abel.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Ericson's Boarding School[]
Rosie was originally Richard's dog before he fled the school.
Post-Apocalypse[]
The Final Season[]
Once Richard fled Ericson's, Marlon made Rosie his pet. Over time, he trained her to sit, lie down, and kill walkers.
"Done Running"[]
When Clementine helps the teenagers rescue their hunting party, she fights some walkers but struggles to overpower one of them. Rosie, noticing such, sprints in and saves Clem by mauling the walker. She is visibly hostile, either because of Clem's visible fear, or because of her unfamiliarity with the girl. Regardless, Marlon congratulates her and tells Clem that Rosie can help her get over her fear. Before dinner, she is with Marlon and Brody. When Clem and Alvin Jr. go looking for Marlon and enter the head office, Rosie enters the room and growls at them, triggering Clementine's PTSD related to Sam mauling her. Marlon intervenes before Rosie and Clementine can attack each other, soothing the dog and saying that despite her looks she's sweet. Clementine can choose to overcome her fear and let Rosie sniff her hand, but regardless Rosie calms down and curls up on a mattress to sleep. Later, when Clementine wakes up and makes her way to the basement, she sees Rosie sleeping. When confronting Marlon, she stands back near the school entrance, barking loudly. She continues once AJ kills her former owner.
"Suffer The Children"[]
At Marlon and Brody's funeral, Rosie lies down on Marlon's grave and refuses to respond to Tennessee's attempts to get her attention to follow him. When Clementine oversees preparations, she can comfort Rosie by whistling to her as Marlon used to or by playing with her to break her out of her funk.
Later on, during the battle against the Delta's raiders, Rosie attacks Abel and mauls his right arm to protect Clementine, incapacitating him for the remainder of the fight. At the end of the fight, she is seen looking at Clementine, who smiles at her.
"Broken Toys"[]
Rosie is first seen when Clementine enters the basement to interrogate Abel. She is either happy to see Clementine (if you have treated her nicely and petted her last episode) or doesn't care (if you have been indifferent towards her). If you have treated her nicely, Clementine will officially make Rosie her pet. During the interrogation of Abel, if Rosie is loyal to Clementine, the player has the option to let Rosie attack Abel to get answers.
"Take Us Back"[]
Rosie is seen with AJ while he is fishing at the fishing cabin. If Tenn was killed, she will retrieve Clementine's hat and give it to AJ after failing to get it back himself. After AJ comes back out of cabin from putting back his spear, Rosie will be happy of Tenn coming back if he was not killed. If Tenn was killed, she will be upset seeing him be killed as a walker or lured away by AJ. Rosie follows AJ back to the school after he's done. While the kids are eating together at the table, Rosie is seen walking around. While Clementine and AJ are talking on the steps to the admin building, she lays next to them and Clementine pets her. After their talk, Rosie follows AJ to his and Clementine's room. She lays under Clementine's bed and after AJ lays her hat on the dresser, she claws at the door, wanting to go back outside. The episode ends with him and Rosie going back outside the room.
