- Maria-062

Maria-062 is a former SPARTAN-II supersoldier. She retired from the program after failing the augmentation process, becoming the only SPARTAN-II to do so. In spite of the Spartans' reduced sex drive, she intended to start a family as of October 2552.

Special Warfare Center
Hours before the Covenant's invasion of Earth on October 20, 2552, Maria tested the new Mark VI MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor in Seongnam, United Korea. She engaged a squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers from the 340th ODST Combat Training Unit in a mock battle near the Special Warfare Center. After the exercise, the armor was approved for battle and was delivered to the orbital defense platform Cairo Station. There, it was issued to Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, who would use it to great effect as late as 2557.

Trivia
Maria-062 is the first SPARTAN-II whose face was visually depicted in official media.
