Unidentified Marine (Ghost's platoon)

This unidentified Marine was a member of the UNSC Marine Corps who fought during the Human-Covenant War.

Biography
Sometime during the war, she fought under the command of Sergeant "Ghost". She was close to him, and greatly admired his leadership skills. However, she was saddened by Ghost's demeanor -- he was cold, did not display emotion, and even appeared to lack humanity.

After heavy combat on a planet, Ghost's entire platoon was wiped out by the Covenant. The unnamed Marine was mortally wounded. Knowing she was close to death, she asked Ghost to promise her to "...be human." Soon, she became the last fatality in Ghost's squad. Ghost was greatly saddened by her death.

Her last words to Ghost appear to have motivated his actions three years later, during the Battle of Algolis. Ghost was tasked with destroying navigation data and a prototypical powered exoskeleton as per the Cole Protocol. He disobeyed orders, using the armor to hold Covenant forces back while his men evacuated the area. He activated the armor's self-destruct function by speaking the activation code: "Be human." The resulting explosion killed Ghost and the surrounding Covenant forces. His last thoughts were of the promise he made to the dying Marine.

Trivia

 * It is likely that the Marine suffered from a shrapnel injury due to the fact that no plasma scorching is visible on her armor.
