“

Every morning I wake up and hear about some new tragedy on the news. I lost my husband once. I can't bear to see that kind of loss repeated over and over. Yes. For my son to be protected... that is the peace that I want. —Sharon to a priest

”

Sharon Rozas (シャロン・ロサス, Sharon Rosasu) was a medical doctor at a hospital on Abraxas during the events of Xenosaga: Pied Piper. She assisted Jan Sauer and his team in their investigation of Voyager's crimes. Sharon had a child, Joaquin Rozas, with her previous husband, a police officer who was killed in the line of duty. During Pied Piper, Sharon and Jan developed a romantic relationship and were eventually married, and Joaquin became Jan's stepson.

Sharon is a conscientious, empathetic person who cares deeply for her patients, especially for the children targeted by Voyager. She harbors grief over the loss of her first husband, and she wishes to protect her surviving loved ones from harm. Sharon's family belongs to the People of the Zohar, who constitute the majority of Abraxas' population. As a practicing member of the Ormus church, she often visits the Archon Cathedral and is shown seeking advice and guidance from the clergy.

Xenosaga: Pied Piper

Sharon is introduced along with her son Joaquin in the prologue to Pied Piper. At home in their apartment on Abraxas, Sharon supervises Joaquin while he interacts with a synthetic dog in a virtual-reality simulation on the U.M.N. While Joaquin is online, a mysterious figure logs into the simulation, recites a quote from the Book of Revelation, and disappears. This figure is eventually revealed to be Voyager.

Sharon meets Jan Sauer and his team at the hospital where she is caring for Voyager's victims after the Ambassador Lock-Up Incident. Among these victims is Jan's colleague Erich Weber, who is pronounced dead soon afterward as a result of "physical feedback from damage received from a security unit while inside U.M.N. virtual reality." Most of the other victims are children, and Sharon expresses indignation at their deaths, noting that their lives could have been saved with nanotechnology and other medical advancements that are only available to the wealthy. Jan is surprised by her candor, and he explains that he typically keeps his emotions hidden even when he is very upset. This leads Sharon to describe Jan as "mysterious." She introduces herself by name, and Jan leaves.

Later, Sharon is filling out Erich's death certificate in the autopsy room when his apparently lifeless body begins to move. Sharon watches in astonishment as Erich stands up and walks out of the hospital, ignoring Sharon's exhortations for him to stay in order to receive proper medical attention.

She becomes involved, by her choice, with the Voyager case and worked closely with Jan Sauer. She and Jan quickly grow close to each over the course of the game and eventually get married very close to the end during the investigation. Sharon fears for Jan's safety because of her past with her former partner's occupation.

Sharon told an Ormus priest that she wished for happiness and safety for Joaquin and Jan, and in response, she was asked to make a contract with "God" at the Archon Cathedral during the Pilgrimage Council meeting. There, Joaquin found her there because Jan didn't return home. Voyager met Sharon and Joaquin, and he used his power of mind hacking on them. As a result, they falsely believed his promise for "eternal peace" with her family. She and Joaquin were engulfed in light radiating from Voyager and died in the process.

Trivia

• Soraya Saga tweeted that two women associated with Ziggy have names that follow a verse from Song of Solomon 2:1: "I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys." Juli's maiden name is Niwashiro, which, combined with the Japanese transliteration of the name, Yuri, becomes niwashiro-yuri, which means 'madonna lily'. Sharon is named after the Rose of Sharon.
