Early Childhood
Anne was kidnapped and conscripted into the SPARTAN-II Program at the age of 6 by. She was trained on by  and. Annie got along well with the other trainees, and immediately became very close friends with Sam-015.

In the year 2525, she underwent and survived that enhanced her physical capabilities. Following the augmentation procedures, Annie was pulled out of the she was originally assigned to, and placed to lead the newly-formed Platinum Team, consisting of herself, Sam-015, Rick-077, and Dom-094.

Battle of Liber
The Platinum Team was deployed on Liber, an outer colony, to defend the latter from a relatively small force. By the time the SPARTANs reached the planet, nearly a quarter of the colony had already been massacred. The SPARTANs first searched through the destroyed towns for potential survivors and managed to gather a few. Once the civilian was safely escorted to, the SPARTANs swept into the larger cities, effectively driving back the Covenant with their teamwork, changing the tides of the ground battle. Meanwhile in orbit, the UNSC fleet of Liber destroyed both of the Covenant invading force. After the battle, Annie-003 and the other members of the Platinum Team were divided, rarely seeing each other again for the next twenty-six years.

Battle of Miridem
The Platinum Team was reorganized in order to escort the civilians of. There, Dom-094 discovered three chidren who were orphaned by and hiding from Covenant forces. Dom-094 took the children to the rest of the Platinum Team, and the SPARTANs escorted them to the nearest transport, successfully keeping the children from enemy fire.

Battle of Flora
Annie-003 and the other Platinum Team members were called to the colony of Flora to defend it from the Covenant. She arrived at about the same time Rick-077 and Dom-094 did, while Sam-015 had already been defending Flora at the surface. Annie-003 was placed on an to fight off boarding Covenant infantry, and was soon joined by  Ryan-A022. The two SPARTANs then left the station, piloting a. After battling through many, Ryan-A022 and Annie-003 were ordered to land on one side of Flora, while Rick-077 and Dom-094 were ordered to assist Sam-015 in defending the other side.

During the battle, had intercepted a Covenant transmission regarding an artifact called the Contumacy. A map on the location of the artifact was hidden within an underground structure on Flora. Rick-077, Dom-094, and Sam-015, who were closer to the structure, were sent to take the map, but could not reach it before the Covenant forces did. ONI, however, managed to track the map to the Unwavering Conviction, which by chance, was hovering a few hundred meters over Covenant-occupied land to refit. The SPARTANs on Zarmina boarded the battlecruiser using its.

As ONI continued to track the Unwavering Conviction. Gerald de Gaulle of the UNSC Alexandra picked up Annie-003 and Ryan-A022, and gathered other to prepare to surround the Unwavering Conviction. Once the Covenant battlecruiser completed its refit and left the atmosphere, the Alexandra fired its at the vessel, depleting its shields. Multiple Longswords closed in on the Unwavering Conviction, battling her fighter complement. Ryan-A022 and Anne-003 once again piloted a Longsword of their own, this time having a squad of in the fighter, and boarded the weakened battlecruiser by flying into its hangar bay. The SPARTANs of both sides were able to join forces aboard the ship, and then kill the shipmaster and take the map. On their way off the Unwavering Conviction, however, the SPARTANs discovered that their Longsword was destroyed by Covenant. Fortunately, a Pelican was able to pick up the SPARTANs at the nearest hangar bay, allowing them to make their escape.

Operation: SQUALL
The Contumacy was hidden within a complex cavern on Ogygia. The Covenant ground forces were led personally by Dar 'Akamee. 'Akamee and his got to the artifact first, but the Platinum Team immediately caught up right after. At the end of a brief struggle, all of the zealots lay dead, thanks to the SPARTANs' better teamwork. Dom-094 carried the forerunner device as the SPARTANs were pursued by more covenant forces. In the middle of the chaos, Dom-094 was separated from the team by a explosion. Due to the overwhelming number of Covenant forces in orbit, the rest of the Platinum Team was forced to leave Dom-094 behind, devastating Annie-003.

Fall of Reach
On August 30th, 2552, most of the remaining were deployed to the surface of  by the Pelican,, from the. When Bravo 001 was crippled, the SPARTANs were forced to make high-altitude jumps. Four of the SPARTANs did not survive the landing. Upon regrouping, divided the SPARTANs into four splinter groups: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta; Annie-003, Rick-015, Sam-015, and three others were in the.

Team Beta was assigned to defend. Annie-003 ordered the SPARTANs to engage the oncoming thirty-two and 260 infantry in close quarters. Although the SPARTANs broke the assault wave, another two Covenant armored divisions along with three reinforced the first wave. Annie-003 was killed when she was cornered by an overwhelming number of Covenant infantry, falling to a barrage of plasma bolts. Her body was taken away by Tisamenus as a trophy.

Personality and description
Like and, Annie was a natural leader, but was less recognized than the former two. Annie was one of the most openly caring of SPARTAN-IIs; Rick, Dom, and Sam looked up to her as a "big sister," due to her ability to communicate effectively and understand the feelings each of her individual teammates. She placed the lives of her teammates well above her own, which led to many of her near-deaths.

Equipment
Throughout most of her career, Annie-003 wore the standard. When Annie-003 was given access to late in the year 2551, she chose to use the standard suit, but with a  attachment to her helmet,  in place of the standard shoulder pauldrons, an  torso accessory, a  on her left forearm, and  knee guards.

Annie-003 typically used standard firearms, her most common loading being a combination of an as her individual weapon and an  as her sidearm. Annie-003 was among the first of SPARTANs to test the then-new that had enough thrust to lift more than half a ton; do to having more experience in using a jetpack than most other soldiers, Annie-003 became one of the technology’s most prominent users.
