Rosita Espinosa: The Comics

Rosita is a kind, gentle and understanding woman who avoided confrontation or violence.  She is less psychologically scarred than those around her, and is more emotionally stable.  Hailing from Houston, she used her looks to gain attention and protection from men, and traveled with Abraham and Eugene from Houston to DC, forming a deep romantic relationship with Abraham.

At Hershel's farm, they met Rick Grimes and his group and they traveled to Alexandria together, and although she was squeamish at the sight of blood, Douglas made her a nurse in training.  She is happy and impressed with the community and integrated into it faster than the other members, and expressed excitement over the prospect of getting a home for herself and Abraham.  

Unfortunately the relationship ended when Abraham cheated on her with Holly, and she leaves him and moves in with Eugene.  He tried to enter a relationship with her, but she repeatedly denied him, but after Abraham was killed, she turned to him for comfort.  She develops feelings for Eugene, even though he's below her visual standards, and while this is happening she fights with Rick against the Saviors, and begins a relationship with Eugene, eventually marrying him. 

She served on the Alexandria Herd Patrol with Jesus, Aaron, Heath and Eugene, and finds out she's pregnant, but tells Eugene the baby isn't his.  This puts a strain on the relationship, but then Rosita and her unborn baby are killed by Alpha, her zombified head being placed on a pike to establish boundaries between the Whisperers and Rick's group, and she was put down by Andrea.

Rosita Espinosa: The Television Series

Rosita is a feisty, tough, brave woman with a sassy nature and an extremely capable survivor.  She is skilled with firearms and knives, and has a level head and a clear mind about situations she's placed in.  She shows little hesitation in killing a posed threat and shows great care for the members of her group.  She relies on other people and has little experience being by herself, and she is good at dealing with other peoples' emotions, but not necessarily her own.

Rosita is of Hispanic descent and is from Houston, where she had a brother and a six-year-old nephew.  She has past military experience, serving as a soldier and possibly a mechanic.  She travels with Abraham and Eugene from Houston to DC, and end up in Atlanta where they meet Glenn and Tara.  They soon are introduced to Rick and the rest of the group, and agree to go with them to DC.  She has a deep romantic relationship with Abraham.

As they arrive at Alexandria, she offers to give weapons lessons to the townspeople, and Abraham breaks up with her to begin a relationship with Sasha.  She is seen in bed with Spencer, but doesn't seem interested in him.  She travels with Daryl and Denise on a supply run, where Dwight kills Denise.  She heads back out to handle Dwight with Daryl, Michonne and Glenn when they're captured and brought before Negan.

Why Rosita Could Die

Rosita is a rather obscure character on the show, not really given a lot of airtime and could be another extra knocked off.

Why Rosita Won't Die

If the show holds a lot to Negan's story in the comics, she'll be safe because he doesn't kill women.  Also, since she's not a huge character, her death wouldn't make as big an impact on the audience as someone who's been more visible.
