Rose

Rose is a special Rosebud Spider Splicer in BioShock. She is the first Splicer the player comes in contact with at the start of Welcome to Rapture. She is a very powerful Splicer, and whenever she is near the player she sprinkles rose petals from above (hence her name). She has her own unique dialogue, and can often be heard talking about her former lover.

From inside the bathysphere in Welcome to Rapture, the player witnesses her slaughter Johnny, but she is later scared away by one of Atlas' hacked Security Cameras. The player encounters her again in Neptune's Bounty just outside Fontaine Fisheries, though this time she is scared away by Peach Wilkins. The player will finally be able to fight her after taking the research photos of three Spider Splicers. On the way back to the Fontaine Fisheries the player will find the Wrench Lurker Gene Tonic sitting on a ledge, left there as a trap to lure the player in. Grabbing it, or even simply walking up to it, will cause Rose to attack.

Trivia

 * During and after the scripted scene when Rose kills Johnny in Welcome to Rapture she can be heard humming the melody of "If I Didn't Care," one of the songs by the Ink Spots included in the BioShock Soundtrack.
 * It is possible to "kill" Rose in the player's first battle with her if the player is playing on Easy difficulty with enough Antipersonnel Machine Gun Rounds. However, her body will be unlootable.
