 ==Biography==
-Soma was an inhabitant of [[Wharftown]], a small settlement on the planet Seaward. She had moved to the planet out of a desire to live away from her people's high-tech society, and eschewed the use of [[Forerunner personal armor|personal body armor]] in favor of a naturalistic lifestyle. She enjoyed painting with a [[jetbrush]]. When the Flood arrived on the planet, her jetbrush pictured it making landfall.
