Like all Spartan-IIs, Daisy is abducted as a child and placed into the training and augmentation program. A few weeks after the augmentations, she, [[Ralph-103]], [[Joseph-122]], [[Oscar-129]] and another unnamed Spartan hold their trainers at gunpoint, before being granted permission to leave by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], the creator of the Spartan-II project. The Spartans escape Reach and go their separate ways, with Daisy returning to her home planet of [[Sargasso]]. | Like all Spartan-IIs, Daisy is abducted as a child and placed into the training and augmentation program.

Upon arrival, she finds that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] is already searching for her. She eludes their patrols and finds her home, where she encounters a wheelchair-bound girl whose appearance is nearly identical to hers. It is then that a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] approaches, with Halsey on board. Halsey explains via COM that the abducted Spartans were replaced with [[flash cloning|flash-clones]], to cover up the kidnappings. Halsey unsuccessfully attempts to convince Daisy to return to the training program; instead, the confused Spartan draws her weapon and aims it at the clone. She hesitates for a while, and lowers the weapon.

Later, during | Later, during a battle on a war-torn world in the [[Human-Covenant War]], Daisy-023 assists several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] that had been pinned down by enemy fire. As she assists the Marines in reaching an evacuation point, she encounters [[Ralph-103]], a fellow escapee who is now working as a Marine. As the evacuation [[Pelican]] dropship lands and the Marines board the vessel, Daisy is impaled by [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] rounds. She unsuccessfully attempts to provide covering fire using a [[M6 Series|pistol]]; the Pelican is completely destroyed with [[Type-33 Light Anti-Armor Weapon|Fuel Rod Gun]] fire, killing everyone aboard. Daisy dies soon after from the Needler rounds. | ||

*The introductory narration states that humanity had established the Inner Colonies in the "heart of the Milky Way" by approximately [[2310]]. This is physically and technologically impossible, as the [[Wikipedia:Galactic Center|galactic core]] is extremely dense and is theorized to contain a [[Wikipedia:Sagittarius A*#Central black hole|supermassive black hole]]. | *The introductory narration states that humanity had established the Inner Colonies in the "heart of the Milky Way" by approximately [[2310]]. This is physically and technologically impossible, as the [[Wikipedia:Galactic Center|galactic core]] is extremely dense and is theorized to contain a [[Wikipedia:Sagittarius A*#Central black hole|supermassive black hole]]. In actuality, the entire [[human sphere]] is contained within a relatively small volume inside the [[Orion Arm]]. | ||
*The manner in which Daisy's M6 sidearm is holstered is physically impossible, since the handle and trigger guard occupy the center portion of the weapon, yet the holster appears rectangular, with no slit at the back for the handle. The fact that the rear iron sights are visible prove that the handle was not exposed at the opening. The holster itself appears to be suited for pistols with a design similar to those of modern pistols, with the handle closer to the hammer. | *The manner in which Daisy's M6 sidearm is holstered is physically impossible, since the handle and trigger guard occupy the center portion of the weapon, yet the holster appears rectangular, with no slit at the back for the handle.

*According to a series of "trading cards" posted on Facebook as part of a promotional campaign for ''Halo Legends'', the battle in ''Homecoming'' takes place on Harvest. However, the same cards also erroneously claim Harvest is Daisy's homeworld, and have other mistakes, such as spelling Sergeant Hauser's name as "Howser". In addition, the planet is shown to have moons in ''Homecoming'', whereas Harvest has no natural satellites. The site of the battle in the episode also has a number of visual allusions to Daisy's flashbacks of her homeworld, which could imply the scene takes place on Sargasso and would thus date the battle as late as [[2546]]. This is supported by the opening narration, which states that the [[Outer Colonies]] are already gone at the time, implying the episode takes place after 2535. Whatever the case, [[Jeff Easterling]] has stated that [[343 Industries]] have chosen to leave the setting vague for the time being.<ref>[https://twitter.com/GrimBrotherOne/status/1038898982880047104?s=19 ''Twitter: Reply by GrimBrotherOne'']</ref> | |||
