'''Vinnevra''' (pronounced ''"Vin-eev-ra"'')<ref>'''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGR1V7IRLXs Halo: Rebirth]'''</ref> was a female [[human]] who lived on [[Installation 07]] in the later years of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. She was a member of the [[Tudejsa]], a group transplanted from their homeworld of [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]]. Vinnevra was actually her mother's name, used as a "borrowing name" to be disclosed to the public, while only her closest relatives were allowed to know her true name as per her people's custom.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 42''</ref>

Vinnevra was born on the Halo ring to [[Gamelpar]]'s daughter while they still lived in the old city.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 25''</ref> After the [[Forerunner]]s began to abduct humans more frequently, taking them to the "[[Palace of Pain]]", the Tudejsa abandoned the city and became disorganized. Both of Vinnevra's parents were also taken to the Palace of Pain, leaving her grandfather Gamelpar to raise and watch over her while they lived in a small village.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 48''</ref> Growing up to be a young woman, she became a worker like her mother had been. During her life in the village, she was constantly the target of aggressive sexual advances by male Tudejsa; however, Gamelpar did not give any of them permission to mate with her, and protected her to his best ability, although she was capable of defending herself as well, being forced to do so frequently.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 38''</ref> Eventually, the men of the village banished Gamelpar for protecting Vinnevra, although, out of superstition, they also feared to kill the old man, as he knew the ancient way of ''[[daowa-maad|daowa-maadthu]]''.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 55''</ref>

When the Flood attacked the greater Ark, she was evacuated along with Riser and a number of other humans by [[343 Guilty Spark]], her old friend [[Chakas]] in the form of a [[monitor]], in a {{Class|Gargantua|transport}} and transported to the [[Installation 00|lesser Ark]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 34''</ref> Vinnevra was relocated into a village close to Riser's, and the two reunited soon after their arrival on the Ark, embracing as they first met. Vinnevra asked Riser about Chakas, but he chose not to reveal her the truth about his fate. She later joined the festivities the humans held in remembrance of the dead and in celebration of the new galaxy yet to arise. She and Riser reminisced their journey on Installation 07; with slight encouragement by wine fermented from the juice of berries, Vinnevra energetically recounted an embellished version of the story to the crowd. She, Riser and the other humans held on the Ark were eventually [[reintroduction|reintroduced]] to Earth under the leadership of the new Lifeshaper, [[Chant-to-Green]].<ref>'''Halo: Rebirth'''</ref>

Of ethnic groups known to modern humans, the physical features of Vinnevra and her people were most closely analogous to those of [[Wikipedia:Australian Aborigines|Australian Aborigines]].<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 169''</ref> She was very lean and slender, had a black skin, a broad, flat nose and wide, rounded cheeks;<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 20''</ref> large, reddish-brown eyes and orange-brown, tangled and curly hair.<ref name="p23"/><ref name="p143"/> Her voice was described as "husky but musical".<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 21''</ref>
