Hazel-A302

Petty Officer Second Class Hazel-A302 is a SPARTAN-III commando known to be in service with the United Nations Space Command Armed Forces during the period following the Human-Covenant War's conclusion.

Biography
Hazel was born on the colony of Alluvion. As a young child, she was an exceptional athlete and student. Hazel was eventually orphaned due to humanity's prolonged war with the Covenant and became one of four hundred and ninety-seven such war orphans recruited for the the first company of Spartan-IIIs. On December 27, 2531 Hazel and the rest of the children were brought to the planet Onyx in the Zeta Doradus system. Multiple D77-TC Pelicans touched down on the parade ground at Camp Currahee at around 1953 hours to unload the recruits, who streamed out of the dropships at the behest of Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and were met by Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose. When the Mjolnir-clad Spartan-II first spoke, his voice carried by the camp's public address system, the children stopped moving and fell silent, amazed by the armored giant. As they crowded before him Kurt offered them the chance to become like him so that they might destroy the Covenant. He noted, however, that only three hundred slots were ultimately available and that the process of determining who would fill that roster would began that night. Mendez then ordered the children back onto the Pelicans and they each proceeded to shuffle aboard, after only some hesitation. After they were airborne once again each recruit was given a Falcon Wing aerial descent unit and told to jump from their dropship's rear bay if they wanted to be a Spartan. Following this, those who had jumped were recovered.

Hazel's innate physical capabilities were greatly enhanced by Spartan augmentations and her scholarly abilities bent towards learning the many arts of war. Alpha Company graduated in 2536 and by November of that year the three-hundred selected to form its final incarnation had been selected and deployed. Hazel, however was not numbered among these, her talents having led to her extraction from the larger unit for assignment as an Office of Naval Intelligence Headhunter. In this capacity she conducted direct action operations against Covenant leaders on occupied planets and destroying critical UNSC information that had fallen into enemy hands.

After the war against the Covenant concluded Hazel spent some time traveling to various major population centers on Earth alongside another Spartan-III, Owen-B096. This was done as part of an Outpost Discovery, a mobile exploratory initiative focused on the education, recruitment, inspiration, and training of the next generation of UNSC personnel.
