Rochelle

"My name's Rochelle. I produce a news show."

- Rochelle "Thanks to you guys, I am the baddest woman alive!"

- Rochelle

Rochelle, also called Ro for short, is one of the Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2. She likes to communicate with the world and therefore became an associate producer in journalism. Her news station recently promoted her and sent her to Savannah, the location of the first campaign, to produce a story on the odd occurrences that were happening. Her T-shirt features an image of the British electronic band, Depeche Mode.

Relationships with other Survivors
Everyone seems to like Rochelle. Even antagonistic Nick is nice to her. She's also the one who gets the most congenial response from outsiders, like the gun store owner. She's generally sensable, level-headed, and kind to everybody (when controlled by the AI, she's usually the first to heal someone with a med-kit), although she has a droll, almost dark sense of humor that comes out sometimes, like when she asks a dead Coach if "Coach" was his first or last name, or comments that Nick was at least dressed for a funeral. She'll say "Jimmy Gibbs Jr...yay" sarcastically, and call the Midnight Riders a "crappy band," but Coach and Ellis don't seem to hold it against her.


 * Coach: Rochelle and Coach have a warm, friendly relationship. She'll encourage him when he says he is hurt. He calls her "girl" and "babygirl." Though when Coach dies, she seems to have certain disrespect for him, asking if Coach was his first or last name, though this may be an attempt to lighten up the situation as a method of coping.
 * Ellis: Rochelle treats Ellis somewhat like a little brother, just as Ellis treats Rochelle as if she were his big sister. They joke around during the campaigns and each is sad when the other dies. She also stands up for Ellis in The Passing, telling Nick to leave Ellis alone when he makes fun of Ellis for liking Zoey. She also offers Ellis some female advice about his crush on Zoey, telling him "You just need to be your sweet self Ellis" when he wonders how to approach her.
 * Nick: Rochelle is the only member of the group who doesn't seem to bother, or be bothered, by Nick. She'll yell at him less during friendly fire incidencts and mourn the most when he dies, saying such things as "I'll miss you Nick. You were good to me." Though she also will mock him for his choice of Zombie-apocalypse attire, saying at least he's dressed for a funeral. When Nick worries about his white suit getting dirty, she asks him "you mean the suit with zombie brains all over it?" He'll respond, "brains wash out, swamp-water doesn't. Don't ask how I know that." Rochelle will also ask Nick about their odds of survival, and say the long odds "sound about right." Rochelle is quick to side with Nick when Ellis yells at him for killing the pilot of the rescue helicopter. However, in The Passing when Nick makes comments about Ellis missing his chance with Zoey, Rochelle states that out of the two women still alive, at least one hates him. During a discussion about getting another car, Ellis defends it, saying that while he thinks Francis is cool, he's not about to trade him for Nick. Rochelle then asks the others if they would like to put that to a vote, showing her dislike for Nick. During her brief conversations with Nick, there seems to be some indication that she doesn't dislike him completely. His sour personality and his rough-cut instincts more than likely keeps her at bay.
 * Francis: Rochelle seems to like Francis a lot more than her fellow Survivors. In the promo, they get along fine, as they both apparently hate stuff. But Rochelle hates Francis' vest, so Francis believes a relationship wouldn't work out. Based on the comments of the other Survivors and Francis' enthusiasm to be kissed by her, Francis may have developed a crush on her. Rochelle herself may have developed feelings for Francis as the men in her group will tease her about him.
 * Zoey: Zoey and Rochelle will often exclaim to each other how they are relieved to find another woman still alive. They will comment on one another's Special Infected kills in the finale. Zoey also seems happy to throw her items during the finale.
 * Louis: Louis and Rochelle have a warm impression of each other almost instantly. Upon seeing him wounded, she instantly takes his health into consideration. She invites the trio to join them on their trip to New Orleans, which Louis kindly rejects, stating that although she seems really nice, they'll be fine on their own. She also is the most understanding of the Survivor's situation with Bill's recent death and gives them the option of not lowering the bridge at all.
