Rose Graham (previously known as Lori Gilbert[fn 1]) is a minor character in The Last of Us Part I. She was a news reporter for KATX Channel 2 News in Austin who reported on the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak.[3]
Biography[]
Background[]
At some point before the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak, Rose became a news reporter for the local KATX Channel 2 news station in Austin, Texas.
Events of The Last of Us Part I[]
During the early hours of September 27th, 2013, Rose was outside a burning building in the heart of Austin, reporting on so-called "riots" caused by the infected. She was accompanied by several members of the Texas National Guard, who served as the protection detail for the news crew. A national guardsman suddenly reported a gas leak, which caused an explosion shortly thereafter. Sarah Miller watched these events unfold live from her father's television in his bedroom.[3] Rose's fate following the explosion is unknown.
Appearance[]
In the original The Last of Us and its remastered version, Rose (then known as Lori Gilbert) appears as a young, fair-skinned woman with long, chestnut hair and brown eyes. Her reporting attire consisted of a purple blazer and a necklace.
In The Last of Us Part I, her appearance was slightly altered. Now, she has short, chin-length brown hair, and wears a dark gray blazer instead.
Behind the scenes[]
- In The Last of Us Part I remake, Rose is modeled after senior character artist Colleen Larson, as she had the opportunity to use her own likeness to create the model.[2]
