Nina-A198

Nina-A198, born Nina Redmond is a SPARTAN-III Commando of Alpha Company known to be in service with the United Nations Space Command and the Office of Naval Intelligence during and after the Human Covenant War.

Early Life
Born to loving parents on December 20th, 2527 on the Outer Colony of Madrigal, Nina's early life was relatively peaceful, as she and her family moved to Arcadia before Madrigal's glassing.

However, on February 9th, 2531, Arcadia was attacked by the Covenant, and Nina soon found herself an orphan in the ensuing chaos; her father had been killed by a Banshee strafing run in the initial attack and her mother was gunned down by Covenant troops as they invaded the capital city, Pirth.

The then three year old Nina nonetheless managed to survive the harrowing ordeal, and for several months was shuttled from orphanage to orphanage, until finally being recruited for the SPARTAN-III program.

Training
"'I am going to give you a chance to learn how to fight, a chance to become the best soldiers the UNSC has ever produced, a chance to destroy the Covenant. I am giving you a chance to be like me: a Spartan.'"-Lieutenant Kurt Ambrose, to the 497 candidates of Alpha Company
