Production notes
Sarah Palmer is introduced in Halo 4, voiced by actress Jennifer Hale, who is popularly known as the female voice for Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy. Her facial appearance is based on Vedette Lim. Palmer's hair color was changed from a darker, almost blackish color between her reveal at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con and late pre-release renders to a dark copper brown with highlights. The styling of her hair has, however, remained the same, with the parting on the left side in a short ponytail, which is in keeping with traditional military grooming standards for female personnel. Her full name was revealed months later via a collectible action figure at the Square Enix Play Arts booth during the Tokyo Game Show.
