| − | === '''Early Life''' === |
||
| − | Like most SPARTAN-III candidates, Nalini was orphaned due to the war with the Covenant. Her parents Saad and Jena were killed in 2532 during The Battle of Vodin when the Covenant began a indiscriminate bombardment of their neighborhood, destroying their home. Nalini was injured but managed to be saved by evacuating neighbors. These neighbors were able to have her evacuated on the lone space elevator on Vodin as the UNSC fought to protect it. Due to her age, she was able to be brought on one of the first waves of evacuees and was able to reach orbit and transport before the elevator was destroyed in the battle. Ultimately, she survived as the battle and was transported to Tribute to be housed in a refugee camp where her DNA was logged into a colonial database. |
||
| − | |||
| − | === '''Spartan Trainee''' === |
||
| − | In 2534 Nalini was offically assigned to Beta Company’s Team Golf after months of being kept locked away on Onyx. Golf's roster would be finalized to Annalee-B220, Wei-B258, Ahmed-B077, and herself during their early days of training. After a few weeks, due to her take-charge nature, Nalini was assigned as Golf's team leader. The team quickly became a sort of close knit family unit. Nalini first became good friends with Ahmed because of their shared Arabic heritage, and Annalee and Wei not long after. |
||
| − | |||
| − | After about a year, Nalini was becoming an adept leader and Golf flourished under her watch. She soon designated Annalee as her second-in-command on training missions and the two became very close. Wei and Ahmed also became some of the most physically tough Spartans in the company and as such they often received tougher assignments for them to hurdle. This, Nalini felt, was all for their benefit. Eventually, however, Nalini became jaded about competition and rather wanted to focus the Team's talents on their specialization. Wei became a signature rifleman, Ahmed specialized in explosives on a Warrant Officer path, and Annalee was focused on advanced tactical awareness as Nalini was convinced she would be better suited as a Team Leader and wanted to ensure she would eventually end up in that position. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, while Nalini focused her team on specifics, other team leaders became enraptured in competition which had been slightly encouraged by trainers to push the teams farther and to strive for perfection. Annalee, regretfully, became caught up in this competitive scene and she found herself in a sort of proto-relationship they referred to as an "alliance" with Spenser-B337 of Oscar Team in 2540. Spenser, nickname "Spike, had built up a rivalry with Joel-B404 of November Team. The two often spent time with one another, cutting into the team fabric of Golf. Nalini tried to redirect their alliance, but it eventually turned into a weird understanding that Golf would side with Oscar in multi-team training exercises. Annalee's strong connection to both Teams Golf and Oscar often made her a cherished "peacekeeper" between the two as well, as competition often became rough and violent. As time went on Annalee and Spike's relationship became much closer, and Spike's drive to be a stand-out leader created rifts among the other groups. Nalini in particular found herself feeling sorry for Annalee as Spike's competitive nature eventually overshadowed Annalee's own talents and forced her more-so into a subservient role. This went against everything that Nalini had been working towards for Annalee, and it further soured how she felt about Spike. She was relieved when she finally convinced Annalee that Spike was toxic to their team dynamic and they split from their alliance. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Throughout all this, Nalini still maintained a close relationship with every member of Golf and grew closer with each member as they went on missions and became better soldiers. What became clear to Nalini, though, was that her relationship with Annalee felt much closer and, as they grew together, she found she had to wrangle her emotions as they were different from the rest of the Team. Though she never specifically confided this conflict in Annalee, she eventually came out to each of the Team as a lesbian after years of them growing up together. She came to this self-discovery by education on the matter from Company doctors and psychiatrists, though she was told that such ranges of emotions were of no concern while she trained to be a Spartan. She took issue with this opinion. |
||

| − | ==== ''Incident of Identity'' ==== |
||
| − | In April of 2541, sections of Beta Company were moved to a remote UNSC outpost for an exercise off planet Onyx. By this time, most Beta teams had carried out similar missions before, and they would again try and prove their lethal precision. Nalini saw this particular mission, though, as different from the rest. The training mission was one about subterfuge and deception. Teams would be intermingling with an urban populace and, as such, would be carrying fake identification. Nalini, who had in recent months had become upset with the Company doctor's dismissal of her identity, shared her plot with Team Golf to break out of their barracks and into the nearby town for a "bit of fun". Using the identity cards that they had been given for the exercise, she had planned for them to sneak into a bar and order them all drinks to celebrate a mission well done. The entire team excitedly agreed, and followed Nalini out in the early morning while the rest of the company slept. Nalini had, however, also planned to completely embrace her identity, profess her love to Annalee, and tell her that they should run away for short while while they had a chance to have some fun. She thought that Annalee would feel the same as she did and that it would be fun and refreshing to embrace who she was before she returned back to the program. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Spike, still resentful of Annalee's betrayal, learned of Nalini's plan as she had invited other teams. Drew-B191, a friend of Nalini's, let slip this information and when they left in the evening, Spike reported those that left as {{wikipedia|Desertion|AWOL}}. With Spike's tip, Beta Company trainers went out to drag the Spartans back to their barracks. Nalini, after the Spartans all congregated at a Baseball stadium in the town over from the base, spent time talking with Annalee. As they did, Nalini finally revealed her emotional attachment to her and her plan for them to run away. However, Annalee was completely blindsided by Nalini's profession of naïve love for her. Convinced Annalee would follow her to the ends of the Earth, Nalini realized that she had inadvertently morphed her vision of Annalee's friendship into something more than it was. Annalee, completely shocked by Nalini's feelings was unsure of what to make of such a thing and told Nalini she wouldn't run away from the Spartans, even if it was for a short while. Nalini was crushed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During this ordeal, the Beta Company trainers had tracked down and caught up to Team Golf and the other AWOL Spartans. Nalini, still heartbroken and angry that her plan had failed, refused to return when confronted by the trainers and ended up in a fight with three of them. While in the heat of the fight, she inadvertently killed one of the trainers by snapping their neck with a punch. When she realized what she had done, she gave up promptly. It dawned on her that she had let her emotions do exactly what she was warned of by the Company doctors, "jeopardizing her status as a Spartan" and the self-realization that she betrayed the trust of someone she cared for. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Golf Team returned, they were immediately thrown into the brig for a day without food. When their time was up, they were marched into CPO Mendez's field office to face their fate. As an act of discipline, Nalini would immediately be removed from Beta Company and face a {{wikipedia|Court-martial|Court Martial}}. Completely defeated, she resigned herself to imprisonment. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==== ''Operation: TANGLE'' ==== |
||
| − | |||
| − | Mendez would then order the teams back to Onyx, early, where Nalini would face her court martial. While en route to Onyx, a hostage situation developed aboard ONI's ''Bravo 9'' Relay Station located in {{wikipedia|Outer_space#Interstellar_space|Interstellar Space}}. By chance, the Spartans were aboard the closest UNSC vessel. Mendez, given the choice by the captain of the ship, gave the green light for the teams to respond. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The incident had been carried out by the crew of the notorious Junker Pirate vessel ''Mata Hari''. The crew of the ''Mata Hari'' raided the remote ''Bravo 9'' Relay Station for supplies, but quickly found themselves in the middle of a hostage crisis gaining the ire of the UNSC. |

Nalini Al-Harari was a Beta Company SPARTAN-III washout, former Police Officer, Private Investigator, and ONI agent who was active in the Human-Covenant War. Nalini was conscripted into Beta Company a few years after her parents were killed in during the Battle of Vodin showing immense promise as a candidate due to her observational skills and heightened senses. Years into her Spartan Training, Nalini would kill a trainer inadvertently leading to her "Washing-Out" and a multi-year imprisonment. This was before the Company received their augmentations and as such she was left only with her military training and a new legal identity: Yasmina Kazem. Eventually Nalini would restart her life by takin to the streets of New Mombasa, taking on a new identity, and use her training to become a licensed Private Investigator within the East African Protectorate where she would remain before being invited back to the UNSC by Rear Admiral Darren Cohen as a Special Agent for the Diamond Initiative in 2552.
