Andra-D054

Andra-D054 is a SPARTAN-III commando of the breakaway Beta-5 Division project, referred to as the DELTA Initiative. The Initiative sought to establish a fourth company-size force of SPARTAN-IIIs, called Delta Company. Andra, among the Delta Spartans, was a member of the frontline Spartan unit called Team Boson. First recruited in 2553, Andra would not graduate from the SPARTAN-III Program till 2557, four years following the Human-Covenant War.

During her tenure as a Delta Company Spartan, Andra was Team Boson's designated marksman, acting as a sniper and lookout, usually avoiding confrontation with her opponents. Also showing proficiency for explosives and electronics, to the point she was considered a capable saboteur. Early assessments marked Andra-D054 as an early dropout from Delta Company, however, following improvements in her performance - she became one of Delta Company's top sharpshooters. Following her desertion from the UNSC, Andra drifted, following her close compatriot in Merlin-D032 across colonial space seeking purpose in her drifting existence.

Biography
"Andra is a genetic goldmine, has pretty much everything we hoped for. Born to a Signal Intelligence officer and an Army Engineer, she didn't seem much at first glance. Her mother died on Minab last year, and her father committed suicide months after. She's an emotional wreck, almost discouraging a recommendation because her psyche reports suggest she might be too fragile to be a Spartan. Her genetic profile is too valuable to pass up though, and from slow coaxing, we managed to get an eye at her capabilities - she has a strong athletic background: swimming and running. Her father's physical abuse, which she broke down after revealing, suggests she may have a high pain tolerance - more information would be required. She also knows her way around simple electronics, learning wiring and limited circuitry from her parents which could go into bomb design or electronics like radios. She's got her own abilities and it would be wrong to overlook her for recruitment."
