Early Childhood
Unlike most of the Spartan recruits, Sara was born on Earth. Orphaned at an early age, she lived on the streets before being conscripted. She has a juvinile record, an impressive IQ, a strong sence of morals, and an anti-authority streek.

The SPARTAN II Program
Sara was one of the last Spartans to befriend 117 John, usually standing to the side and observing the others. She constantly fought with guards and instructors, sometimes ending up in solitary confinement five times a month. She was also the first to figure out some of the darker truths to the program, including the fact that they were flash cloned to hide their absence from the rest of Humanity. Confronting Dr. Hasley, Sara discovered that much of the SPARTAN II Program was orchestrated by ONI, including the abductions and cloning. She only shared her distrust for the Office of Naval Inteligence with John, who shared her misgivings, but also stated that as Spartans, they would have the knowlege and power to make a difference. While he had not chosen the life he now had, he couldn't walk away from it and live with himself. Sara agreed and they kept their suspisions about ONI to themselves.

Augmentations
During the augmentation process, Sara's reflexes were crippled in exchange for an unexpeced side affect of the combined surgeries: telepathy. Unable to control her new ability, she unintentionally found out that one of the main ONI financers of the SPARTAN II Project hoped to use it to escalate tensions between the Colonies and the UNSC, causing a Civil War and furthering his own political agenda. She tried to expose him, but he was able to disolve her charges and have her declared insane. Slated to be sent to a hospital on Earth -- in reality, she was being sent to her secret execution -- she was saved by John, who risked his life and his future career to smuggle her on a cargo ship bound for Harvest. With her gone, ONI had her listed as KIA. After Harvest was glassed, John blamed himself for sending her to her death, and swore to never let it happen again if he could help it.
