Biography
Rosso, aged 25, was born into Deepground. As a result of her lifetime in the SOLDIER program, she was dangerously psychotic and bloodthirsty, taking great pleasure in killing her opponents.

She first encountered Vincent Valentine in Edge, but ran afoul of Chaos and was forced to flee, slaughtering several WRO troops while in the city.

She met Valentine again in Nibelheim, in the Shin-Ra Mansion, where she tried to steal the Protomateria, which was key to controlling both Chaos and Omega WEAPON. This time, she was prepared to deal with Vincent, and might have killed him if not for the timely intervention of Yuffie Kisaragi.

When the WRO lauched its assault on Midgar, Rosso was shown to briefly fight with Cloud Strife. The exact outcome is unknown, but both Rosso and Cloud survived the encounter.

At last, she confronted Vincent for the final time in the old Shin-Ra building. They engaged in an all-out battle, and Rosso was defeated. Badly wounded, Rosso, prideful to the last, told Vincent that he would not have the pleasure of killing Rosso the Crimson. Defiantly yelling, "No one will ever stand above me!" Rosso used materia to collapse the portion of the building she was standing on. She plummeted to her death, laughing maniacly.

Weapon
Rosso's weapon is a unique double blade that is capable of gunfire.
