Kiara-G214

Kiara-G214 is an active member of the Spartan-IV Program (formerly of the Spartan-III Gamma Company), but retains her old tag. She was born September 30, 2540, on the Colony world Miridem. Kiara is currently assigned to the UNSC Infinity with the rest of Fireteam Thunder.

Childhood and Spartan-III Training:
Kiara-G214 was born to a poly family of three on Miridem, until it was assaulted and glassed in 2554. Beta-5 Division Agents intercepted Kiara-G214 from a refugee center before she could be catalogued, and took her to Onyx.

Kiara-G214 did not initially adjust well to Spartan training, given her young age compared to the other recruits, as well as her small stature. Despite these struggles, Kiara-G214 continued her training, and soon found friends in Isabella-G238 and Riley-G315.

Upon seeing the records of Alpha and Beta Company’s augmentations, Kiara-G214 accepted augmentation, seeing it as a challenge to beat. Afterwards, she had a quick recovery period, and was ready to resume training within weeks.

Battle for Earth (October 20 - December 3 2552):
Team Katar engaged in multiple strategic attacks on Covenant forces, most notably in the infiltration of a Covenant weapons shipment due for the frontlines of the New Mombasa attack, and the subsequent sabotage of multiple crates of weapons.

Team Katar executed strategic assassinations of advanced Zealot teams and Sangheili Field Marshals, and one failed attack on a Zealot team, which left Riley-G315 wounded.

Post Human-Covenant War (December 11, 2552):
The remaining four members of Team Katar were sent on multiple small incursions into Covenant Remnant spaces, mostly to sabotage weapon shipments and assassinate high-level targets, with the intent to destabilize these remnants, and gather intelligence where possible.

Team Katar lost contact with Illya-G047 during an operation that placed Team Katar behind enemy lines, specifically to collect intelligence on a rapidly growing den of Kig-Yar pirates. The mission was considered a failure after the Kig-Yar fled the planet and scattered. (February 25, 2552)

Recent (March 4, 2558 - October, 3558):
Kiara and the rest of Team Katar has rejoined with Riley-G315 on the Infinity. The team has since been redesignated Fireteam Thunder. In the seven months since rejoining, the team has had very few combat missions, although a large joint strike force with the Swords of Sanghelios brought Fireteam Thunder to the forefront of the hunt for Covenant Remnants, and placed Oru ‘Mdama with Fireteam Thunder.

Personality:
Kiara-G214 is the main source of social energy in Fireteam Thunder; Her carefree attitude, lighthearted banter, keep morale from dropping too low, though she tends to make mistakes in stressful situations.

Psychological evaluations flagged no major neurological disorders, but did note difficulty with understanding social cues.

Combat Skills and Training:
Kiara-G214 is highly skilled marksman, skilled with most weapons, and shows an affinity for high-explosive munitions, and most Covenant weapons.

Her skill in stealth intrusion and intelligence collection make her a valuable member of Fireteam Thunder.

Description:

Short, dark brown curly hair, brown eyes. Mixed ethnicities, mostly African-American and Japanese.

Equipment:
Kiara wears the Tarantula, a Generation-II MJOLNIR variant developed by the Naphtali Contractor Corporation. It has generalized improvements to the outer shell gleaned from tests with the Striker variant, but the design was revised to reduce weight and signature on motion trackers, at the cost of armor integrity.

Kiara’s favored weapon is the MLRS Hydra.

Trivia:

Kiara is fascinated by Covenant technology and biology, and spends most of her free time reading and studying entomology and herpetology.
