Rochelle

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

- Rochelle "Hey, kill all sons of bitches right?"

- Rochelle to Ellis, handing him his Grenade Launcher

Rochelle is one of the playable Survivors in Left 4 Dead 2.

She was employed as an associate producer on a television news station in which role she was sent on assignment to Savannah (the location of the first campaign) to cover The Infection's breaking story.

Her pink T-shirt features an image of the British electronic band Depeche Mode.

Rochelle's facial features are based on Shanola Hampton and she is voiced by Rochelle Aytes.

Relationships with other Survivors
Rochelle is the sensible "sister" of the group, and almost everyone treats her with generous respect. Socially, she is also the character who gets the most congenial response from outsiders such as Francis. She is portrayed as sensible, levelheaded, and kind to everybody and as possessing a dry sense of humor that comes out, for example, in relation to the ostensible artistic and performance merits of the Midnight Riders and Jimmy Gibbs Jr.


 * Coach
 * Rochelle and Coach have a warm, friendly relationship, much like Zoey and Bill from Left 4 Dead.
 * Coach often calls her "girl" and "sister." She encourages him when he says he is hurt, and often times tries to cheer him up with amusing or encouraging responses. She praises him when he comes up with good plans, such as his suggestion to use the Midnight Rider's concert to get the chopper's attention at the end of Dark Carnival. If Coach is killed, she shows remorse, stating how she will miss him.


 * Ellis
 * Rochelle treats Ellis somewhat like a younger brother, just as Ellis treats Rochelle as if she were his elder sister. They joke around during the campaigns and each is sad when the other dies. The only conflict between them occurs when Ellis says something completely idiotic or at odds with Rochelle's ways of thinking; for example, on the first chapter of Swamp Fever when Ellis warns everyone about the "Blood Farmers," Rochelle asks what they are. After learning that they do not really exist but Ellis speaks of them seriously as if they do, her reaction is one of bemused frustration saying, "Sorry I asked." Sometimes when Ellis helps Rochelle up she may say, "Thanks, I just may keep you."


 * Nick
 * Rochelle is the only member of the group who does not seem to bother, or be bothered by, Nick. Despite momentary interpersonal differences, Nick and Rochelle appear to get on better together than they do with Coach and Ellis. She yells at him less during friendly fire incidents and mourns him the most when he dies, saying such things as "I'll miss you Nick. You were good to me." They share in common an outlook of the outbreak, which helps them identify more with each other. Rochelle will ask Nick about their odds of survival, and say the long odds "sound about right." She also sides with Nick when Ellis yells at him for killing the pilot of the rescue helicopter. There are a few small hints that there might be some sort of attraction between them.
