Rochelle and Francis with eggs and rolls of toilet paper during the Summer Sale. When Nick teases Rochelle about "playing hard to get," with Francis, she responds by telling Nick, "He is better looking than you," which could be construed as indicating that Rochelle has at least entertained the idea of a romance with Nick, though nothing ever seems to come of it. Rochelle then asks the others if they would like to put that to a vote. During a discussion about getting another car, Ellis defends Nick, saying that while he thinks Francis is cool, he is not about to trade him for Nick. In The Passing when Nick makes comments about Ellis missing his chance with Zoey, Rochelle states that out of the two women still alive, at least one hates him, which might mean there are limits to her patience. There are a few small hints that there might be some sort of attraction between them. 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. You were good to me." They share in common a realistic outlook of the outbreak, which helps them identify more with each other.

Sometimes when Ellis helps Rochelle up she may say, "Thanks, I just may keep you." She also offers Ellis some relationship advice about his crush on Zoey, telling him "You just need to be your sweet self, Ellis." 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. She stands up for Ellis in The Passing, telling Nick to leave Ellis alone when he makes fun of Ellis for liking Zoey. They joke around during the campaigns and each is sad when the other dies. Ellis Rochelle treats Ellis somewhat like a younger brother, just as Ellis treats Rochelle as if she were his elder sister.If Coach is killed, she shows remorse, stating how she will miss him. 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. Coach often calls her "girl" and "little sister." She encourages him when he says he is hurt, and oftentimes tries to cheer him up with amusing or encouraging responses. Coach Rochelle and Coach have a warm, friendly relationship, much like Zoey and Bill from Left 4 Dead.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. Socially, she is also the character who gets the most congenial response from outsiders such as Francis and Whitaker. Rochelle plays the role of the "big sister" of the group, and almost everyone treats her with generous respect.
