Han (Sangheili)

"You are stubborn to a fault."

- Fal 'Chavamee

Han was a Sangheili and the wife of Arbiter Fal 'Chavamee.

Biography
Han refused to leave her husband after he expressed concern for her fate because of his refusal to join the Covenant Empire. Her loyalty to her husband saw her betrayal by one of Fal's closest friend, who led Harka to her. Brutally beaten, she was then killed by Roe at Harka's urging, who in turn killed the Sangheili, and left their bodies as a gruesome challenge to Fal. Although he managed to avenge her, he was also mortally wounded - a vision of Han would be the last thing Fal saw in life.

Trivia

 * So far, she is the only female Sangheili to be physically shown in the Halo universe, and the second to be mentioned; the other being Sanj'ik.
 * True to her Yamato Nadeshiko form, Han is voiced by Kikuko Inuoe, famous for playing Belldandy in the series Oh My Goddess.
 * Her decidedly humanoid appearance is a stylistic choice to make her a more sympathetic character, and is not necessarily how female Sangheili canonically look like.
 * Her face is probably inspired by the Na'vi, featured in the highest grossing film Avatar.
