#1036 "Rosalie" is named after conservationist Rosalie Barrow Edge. Like her namesake, Rosalie isn't afraid assert herself. #1036 was particularly aggressive towards #1045, one of the dominant males, never letting him push her around when they were feeding. Rosalie Edge was described as an "indomitable hellcat," which is a great way to describe #1036!
