Lieutenant Oriana-A058 is a Special Warfare Officer for the UNSC Navy and Office of Naval Intelligence. She was conscripted into the SPARTAN-III program where she was apart of Alpha Company from 2531 to 2537. Labeled a Cat-2 candidate, Oriana was reassigned to a non-company team known as Red Team. Serving as the Team Leader of Red Team for the remainder of the Human-Covenant War, Oriana led her team through numerous combat operations and missions that marked her as an excellent officer. Serving alongside the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps, Oriana was known for being a leader that was willing to undertake any mission. By the end of the Human-Covenant War, Oriana went into the Spartan Reserves following the loss of all members in Red Team. With the SPARTAN Reserves from 2553 to 2557, Oriana battled with Post-Traumatic Stress and many other mental health issues. She marries her former Operations Officer after the years of being together as a means to find stability in her life. After spending three years in the Reserves and getting squared away, Oriana elected to return to active duty as a Special Warfare Officer for the Office of Naval Intelligence.

Participating in numerous missions through the Post-Covenant War conflicts, Oriana distinguished herself as a veteran officer who took the time to build on her leadership since last commanding Red Team. Throughout the Created Crisis, Oriana continues to command Team Osage against the Created and its allies. BiographyEarly Life
Born on November 19th, 2526, Oriana was abandoned by her biological parents on Eridanus II. Kept at an orphanage, Oriana became an attraction for parents who wanted to adopt. A week later, Erin and Claire Osterberg adopted Oriana Lena Osterberg and took her home to Ny Alta. Erin Osterberg worked as an Eriandus Smokejumper while Claire found her line of work in accounting. Growing up in Ny Alta, Oriana envied Erin for being someone fearless and jumping out of a dropship to fight fires. Being an outdoors family, the Osterbergs spent their time camping, hiking, kayaking, climbing, and, sightseeing across the planet. Even at a young age, Oriana envied the nature that she surrounded herself with daily. In 2527, Oriana met her younger sister, who was adopted as she was. Daphine Yvette Osterberg was only a few months old, and Oriana was taught to protect her at all costs. Oriana slowly saw Daphne looking up to her on things to do, and she helped her younger sister with tasks. While Oriana did play pranks on her sister, she was the only one who did. There were numerous incidents where Oriana had to be separated from other children due to her protective nature. Daphne continued to envy her sister even though she continued to get picked on.
By 2531, the threat of a Covenant invasion was hindered to the public to prevent mass panic. But the reality struck hard when the Covenant invaded and began their assault on Eriandus II. Oriana and Daphne were separated from their parents when the invasion happened, and both evacuated safely. However, Oriana and Daphne were listed as orphans when they were transferred over to Miridem for safety after the Battle of Eridanus II. Oriana and her sister resided inside of an orphanage, thinking their parents were dead while their parents were grieving the loss of their two children. Things turned worse when Daphne was adopted, but not Oriana. Splitting the family apart, Oriana was forced to stay on Miridem while her sister traveled to Reach with her new family. Later, Daphne was found by her original adopted parents, and they won a custody battle to have their daughter back. Oriana remained the unknown factor and was still stuck on Miridem hoping to join her family or get out of the orphanage. Later that week, an Office of Naval Intelligence team showed up to recruit for a group that was hoping to bring orphans on a unique adventure.
Recruited by the Office of Naval Intelligence, Oriana was taken away, and her records indicated that she died of a chronic illness. Her parents and sister never learned what happened to Oriana until later. On a Prowler, Oriana was transported to the UNSC Agincourt where she then was moved to Onyx for the next step of her unique adventure that the ONI team told her about at the orphanage. SPARTAN-III TrainingInitial TrainingOriana was one of nearly 490 SPARTAN trainees, and there were going to be many trainees that were not going to make it past SPARTAN Indoctrination Course. Severe physical and mental activities were pushed onto the SPARTAN trainees to see who were capable of being a SPARTAN for Alpha Company. In 2532, training for the SPARTAN-III program kicked off, and Oriana was right in the middle of everything happening to the various trainees around her. Once Oriana passed the Indoctrination Course, she moved onto Assessment and Selection, where she was determined if she was capable of becoming a SPARTAN.
Passing Assessment and Selection, Oriana went on to academic classes where she was given courses over a variety of subjects as well as military tactics. Identified as a potential team leader early on, Oriana was placed into classes that enhanced her ability to become a better leader within her team. Excelling in science and history, Oriana enjoyed the lessons about how war officers used their gut and gambling tactics to determine the fate of a battle. She remained in academic classes till her graduation in 2536, where Oriana became fell into the average range of her trainee pool. Along with academic classes, Oriana began her training, where she learned how to be an assaulter. Originally, Oriana was meant to become a reconnaissance troop assaulter but quickly transferred to a direct action troop assaulter. Oriana enjoyed being on the frontlines with her peers as well as drafting up plans to beat out her opponent. Becoming a direct action team leader assaulter, Oriana was one of the many leaders that were prepared to lead fellow SPARTANs into combat in the future. Graduating from Individual Training in the early months of 2536, Oriana also was marked for being an average SPARTAN. Company Training
Undergoing Company training in 2532, Oriana was assigned to command Team Vulture which held three other SPARTAN-III, trainees. Oriana acted as the team leader through the various team exercises they were forced to go through. Team Vulture became a rare group due to their ability to perform exceptionally as a unit. By 2533, Team Vulture began to produce some of the top results in all of Alpha Company despite being marked originally as a team that was not going even to crack the top ten teams. Oriana was able to help produce results by working closely with each member of her team, proving that she was an excellent leader in many scenarios. Due to Team Vulture's ability to perform in the field, Oriana was the first team placed into Alpha Squadron by 2534. With Alpha Squadron, Oriana met a variety of assault, reconnaissance, sniper and, support teams she was going to operate alongside shortly. Oriana and Alpha Squadron consisted of roughly 40 SPARTAN-IIIs and competed with the seven other Squadrons. During Squadron training, Oriana was quickly elected to become the Squadron leader who pushed Team Vulture into the command squadron team. Leading the assaulter teams, Oriana was able to showcase her ability to adapt and improvise to the many situations thrown at both her unit and squadron.
During Company Training, Oriana and Alpha Squadron came in second place to Carter-A259's Beta Squadron in many exercises. Throughout the rest of 2534 and to 2536, Oriana and Team Vulture continued to prepare for combat deployments. Despite being the second-best, Oriana refused to settle for her position and continued to battle Carter-A259 for being the best Squadron in Alpha Company. Along with Company Training, each squadron was deployed to conduct real-world wartime insertions. At the end of 2536, Oriana and her team graduated from Alpha Company training. Quickly put on alert status, it wasn't long till Oriana got her first operation. AugmentationsOnce securing her spot as a SPARTAN, Oriana was brought aboard the UNSC Hopeful where she was to undergo Project CHRYSANTHEMUM. Due to the success rate of the medical procedure, Oriana prepared herself for the invasive operation that was going to transform her from a healthy person and into a SPARTAN. The following drugs were given to Oriana:
Human-Covenant WarS-III Alpha Company OperationsColonel James Ackerson was eager to deploy his Alpha Company once seeing they were ready for combat deployments, his desire to deploy them against the Covenant was quickly put down by Margaret Parangosky due to many unknown factors. Oriana was practicing her pistol marksmanship when she got the green light for deployment. In a mission briefing, Oriana learned about an Insurrection Uprising on Mamore that Alpha Company was dispatched to handle the enemy forces. Deployed in December of 2536, Oriana prepared Team Vulture and Alpha Squadron for their first combat operation, Operation: TRIDENT. Once on Mamore, Oriana wasted no time getting her assaulters ready for combat. Hiking to an enemy's staging area. After sending teams forward to conduct forward reconnaissance, Oriana began her assault alongside Alpha Squadron on the enemy staging area. Unleashing 45 SPARTAN-IIIs, Oriana was able to sweep her way through the staging area and effectively engage the enemies that showed hostile intent. Cutting their way through the first target, Oriana and Alpha Squadron took a quick break to assess their injuries and moved onto the next target. Oriana and Alpha Squadron were riding high on their adrenaline as they came up to their next target to assault. From bases to a fortress, Alpha Squadron was able to punch their way through a variety of targets with only minor injuries. Insurrectionists retreated to a mountainside which was the bane of many UNSC campaigns in previous years. Oriana linked up with Gamma Squadron, and the two worked together to assault the mountainside. Alpha Squadron came over the top while Gamma worked on pushing from below, hoping to pinch the enemy and refusing them the chance even to fight an even battle. Once the assault kicked off, both Alpha and Gamma were able to crush the enemy without allowing them to retreat or fight back. Securing the mountainside, ONI informed Alpha Company of the leader's position and where he was bound to make his final stand. Alpha Squadron went after the leader while the remaining Squadrons took care of the uprising. Assaulting the compound, Oriana was able to push her way through numerous buildings and reach the leader. During a room assault, Oriana came upon the leader who was using a civilian as a shield and engaged the leader to ensure she did not misfire. With the leader dead and area secured, Oriana learned that the Mamore Uprising was crushed effectively. Operation: TRIDENT was declared a success and Alpha Company moved off of Mamore and prepared for their next deployment. Oriana got word that the Bonanza Asteroid Belt was under siege by the Covenant and learned more about the situation before her deployment. At the turn of 2537, Alpha Company had been waiting for an operation after its success at TRIDENT a week ago. Oriana wanted to keep Team Vulture and Alpha Squadron ready in case anything was bound to happen, meaning that she had to find ways to keep troops prepared for combat. Thirty minutes after hearing about the asteroid belt, Alpha Company was immediately deployed to combat the Covenant forces. Upon arriving at the Bonanza Asteroid Belt, Oriana and Alpha Squadron were deployed to their asteroid where Covenant activity was located. Taken close to the area, Oriana conducted standard operating procedures, which led to her gathering information about the flaws in the Covenant security. Exploiting the situation, Oriana used Alpha Squadron's snipers to pull enemies away from her desired entrances and soon she led a four corner assault on the base. The Asteroid Belt was secured after Alpha Company unleashed themselves on the Covenant. No Covenant survived the Alpha Company assaults, proving the effectiveness of the SPARTAN-IIIs against the enemy. Later learned that the Covenant was entirely off guard, it became the first mission that the SPARTAN-IIIs were excited they had executed. Oriana took the win and continued to prepare for her next deployment, hoping to push her squadron into the spotlight as the best in Alpha Company. Alerted for another battle against the Covenant, Oriana was given her promotion to Petty Officer Second Class due to her actions in previous battles for Alpha Company. Learning about the Far gone colony platforms, Oriana and Alpha Squadron were tasked with conducting the initial assault against the Covenant. A focus on close-quarters combat and speed, Oriana was prepared for Operation: MARATHON and what it was bound to bring. Wasting no time, Oriana quickly deployed with Team Vulture and Alpha Squadron to greet the Covenant on the Far Gone Colony Platforms in 2537. Knocking the Covenant off of the platforms, Oriana and Alpha Company showcased their ability to perform and defeat the Covenant yet again. As for Oriana, she was praised for deciding what to do best for her troops to ensure the success of the mission. With another win against the Covenant in 2537, Operation: MARATHON was considered a victory for the UNSC. Covenant forces were struggling to make their way into the Inner Colonies, and Alpha Company was proving to be an extremely useful buffer. The UNSC and Covenant were head to head in the Battle of New Constantinople, but Admiral Danforth Whitcomb knew that he was not going to last much longer without a planet to fight for by the time he wins in space. Requesting for support, Colonel James Ackerson brought Alpha Company up to alert status 48 hours after their previous operation to defend New Constantinople. Briefed on the way to the planet, Oriana began to coordinate with the UNSC Marine Corps for vehicles her Squadron were going to use to stop the Covenant ground invasion. Once landing, Oriana and Alpha Squadron began their assault against the Covenant ground forces. On the ground, Oriana began to identify many Covenant tank and anti-air batteries that were causing issues for the UNSC to punch through. Using her vehicles as a means to distract and flank, Oriana and Alpha Squadron were able to destroy their way through the Covenant lines as well as knockout Anti-Air turrets. Oriana began to coordinate with the UNSC Air Force to secure airstrikes along with orbital bombardments on heavily fortified Covenant positions. Securing more ground, Oriana's vehicle squadron continued to push forward to acquire land that the UNSC had lost to the Covenant before. As the Covenant began to fortify their positions against the UNSC, Oriana and Alpha Squadron worked on cutting off reinforcements to the ground troops by navigating behind enemy lines. Encircling the enemies, Team Vulture, along with other teams, began to call in orbital bombardments that were deadly against the Covenant. The Covenant began to retreat from the colony which marked yet another victory for Alpha Company and the UNSC in the Inner Colonies. Securing the rest of the settlement, Oriana soon learned she was going to be reassigned for another mission. Oriana along with Draven-A284 of Team Vulture reassigned to a non-company team named Red Team. Oriana was promoted to Ensign while Draven, Emilia-A049 and, Omar-A442 joined her as well to create the four SPARTAN team. As a non-company team, Oriana transferred out of Alpha Company where she began to take orders for the Naval Special Weapons Applications Unit. Learning that she was no longer going to deploy along the rest of Alpha Squadron and Team Vulture, Oriana was frustrated that she was selected to be taken away from the troops she grew up to train and fight with throughout her career as a SPARTAN. Operation: DREAMSTATEReassigned within Naval Special Weapons, Oriana learned about the type of missions she was bound to conduct and began to prepare her team for them. Learning that the United Rebel Front was planning to take more ground on Draco III, and Red Team was needed to deal with the Insurrection threat before having to divert more UNSC resources to the terrorist threat. Deployed in late 2537, Oriana and Red Team began their first mission as a non-company team for the UNSC Armed Forces. Deployed with an ODST Special Operations Team, Oriana and the ODSTs began to conduct forward reconnaissance on the base they were tasked with hitting. Oriana worked closely with the officer on building a plan to assault the base. Having eighteen total operators, Oriana talked about splitting the teams into two and then engage the compound with speed. Her idea was shot down at first but later approved as the ODSTs saw no better idea. Once Oriana was able to identify two exceptional entries, she worked with her team to surprise and ambush the enemies below. Conducting the assault, Oriana was able to push her team through the enemies that stood in her way with no problem. Securing the compound, Oriana learned about two other bases that the URF was using to gain a foothold in the region. Moving out with the ODSTs, Oriana continued to hunt down the enemies using a variety of assault tactics that she had learned apart of Alpha Company. Able to adapt and continue to hit the URF without giving them a chance to bounce back, Red Team was capable of wiping out a cell of fighters that were attempting to bomb a valuable UNSC factory. Returning to a UNSC Firebase, Oriana was transferred to Reach where she learned about passing the test that ONI had set up in Operation: DREAMSTATE. Oriana proved herself as an exceptional ground commander that was able to conduct a variety of successful missions. But Oriana soon learned that DREAMSTATE was one of many tests to see if she was capable of being a SPARTAN officer for a non-company team. Not long after, Oriana learned the fate of her fellow SPARTANs in Operation: PROMETHEUS. Even though Oriana felt distraught about what happened to her peers, she was happy that they took a lot of Covenant soldiers with them. Operation: CLOVER ARROWONI and the Prowler Corps were tracking a Covenant excavation team that was moving around the Outer Colonies. By 2538, the Covenant had stopped in Inner Colony space where they began to conduct operations on an asteroid. The UNSC saw it as the perfect time to ambush the Covenant for trying to set up shop in UNSC space. Doing more analysis, ONI was able to conclude that the Covenant were trying to build up a shipyard for their ships to refuel and rearm before pushing further into UNSC space. ONI pulled Red Team and an ODST Space Assault Company together to deal with the threat before it was too grave. The operation began to build as a means to sabotage communication towers to prevent the Covenant from calling reinforcements and the demolition of the area. Oriana was tasked with cutting communications while the ODSTs were tasked with conducting the demo, she offered some of Red Team to assist with the demolition, but the ODSTs declined. Launching against the Covenant, Oriana began her assault against the enemy and was successful in severing the communications. Due to an error, she learned of a legion being stationed on the ground and tried to abort the mission, but the ODSTs were already conducting their operation. Improvising, Oriana blew up the communications tower and began to divert the massive Covenant force towards her. With limited knowledge of the area, Oriana developed the situation and split her team into elements which ran to weapon caches. With their successful diversion, the ODSTs were able to move into position to place demolition charges before destroying the shipping yard. Oriana was busy running away from the base as a large amount of Covenant were chasing after her. By the time the other element had reached the ODSTs, the group had begun to create an ambush against the Covenant. Oriana and Emilia began to run towards the ambush location, hoping that the plan was going to work. By the time she reached the area, the ODSTs and SPARTANs were able to unload an impressive amount of firepower into the enemies as the Prowlers provided close air support. The Covenant began to retreat which gave the glimmer of a chance for Oriana and the rest of the ODSTs to load onto the Prowlers. Reaching the Prowlers, Oriana was able to escape from the Hornet's Nest and secure another victory against the Covenant, which was her first since she had become a Non-Company Team troop commander. Operation: CLOVER ARROW was a success, but came at a cost. A majority of the ODSTs were injured in the battle along with a considerable amount of deaths. Oriana was informed of the numbers and asked if it was still worth it, which she replied yes. After the debriefing, Oriana didn't know that the amount of death was going to skyrocket as her career continued. Operation: CLOVER ARROW was going to be the foundation of pyrrhic victories where Oriana stood on the piles of dead bodies at the end of each mission she took on for the remainder of the Human-Covenant War. Operation: KINETIC INQUISITIONJoining Operation: KINETIC INQUISITION in 2539, Oriana began to conduct operations against the Covenant who were still invading Outer Colonies. Oriana commanded of a NAVSPECWEP Task Force called Wolverine which housed half of a Space Assault Company and a Prowler Squadron. She was working alongside another Cat-2 officer who was in charge of Task Force Avenger and the other half of the Space Assault Company. Launching in late 2539, Oriana was going to lead a covert ground campaign against the Covenant to stall their efforts on the ground. Keeping the Covenant in the Outer Colonies allowed the UNSC to reinforce their defenses within the Inner Colonies. Arriving over Vernet, Oriana deployed onto the ground with Task Force Wolverine where she coordinated attacks against supply vehicles as well as seek out a well known Sangheili General operating in her sector. As her teams continued to launch ambushes against the enemies, Oriana set up Emilia with a shot on the Sangheili General that she did not miss. Weakening the Covenant's ground morale, Task Force Wolverine was quickly pulled off the planet after the Covenant Navy began to glass essential areas. Vernet proved to be a productive area for Task Force Wolverine, which quickly deployed to Sansar next. Moving to secure UEG and CAA leaders, Oriana showcased her ability to perform exceptionally in close-quarters combat as well as keeping high-value personnel protected. Once the leaders were secure, Oriana continued to assist with diverting Covenant forces across the area to prevent them from massing a strong force against the remaining UNSC ground forces. Delaying the Covenant's ability to strike effectively, allowed the UNSC to conduct evacuations with less stress. As Oriana and Task Force Wolverine pulled off Sansar, it delayed the Covenant yet again. Arriving over Ruthersburg, Oriana watched as the Covenant spent a small amount of time going after orbital defenses then immediately to glassing the planet. Oriana noticed that the glassing had stopped and a large amount of Covenant ground forces were moving to a specific location. Coordinating with Task Force Avenger, they were able to lock in on a Forerunner artifact. Task Force Avenger eliminated the Minor Minister while Task Force Wolverine swooped in to steal it. Enforcing the Cole Protocol, Oriana worked on securing the unknown artifact before bringing it aboard a UNSC Prowler. Escaping Ruthersberg in early 2540, Operation: KINETIC INQUISITION came to an end. The short campaign against the Covenant proved to be effective by holding back the Covenant Navy as well as diverting forces from the Inner Colonies back to the Outer Colonies. Oriana felt it was worth it in the long run, which allowed the UNSC the chance to defend better against the Covenant in the coming years. However, the losses that the Space Assault Battalion told Oriana a different story. But, Oriana was transferred out of the UNSC Navy's command and to the UNSC Marine Corps, where she began to operate with the Unified Special Warfare Command. Inner Colonies Theater
RL-54 IncidentThe UNSC began to work on diverting a single ship away to ambush and board with UNSC troops. Oriana learned that her team was going to secure the engine and weapon systems room with Red Team while another NCT was going to take care of the bridge. As the ship came into view for Oriana, she prepared Red Team for their tasks aboard the ship. As forces began to board the Covenant ship, Oriana and Red Team were broken up into two teams where Oriana assaulted the engine room while Draven assaulted the weapon systems room. Aboard the ship, Oriana and Red Team Alpha engaged forces across their area of focus in close-quarters combat. Oriana used the element of surprise and speed to gain the upper hand on the enemies that were nearly the hundreds once they were found aboard. Using everything to their disposal, Oriana worked with those alongside her to secure the engine room until a UNSC AI was able to vent the ship. Securing the ship and the forces aboard, Oriana and Red Team linked back up to assist with clearing out the remaining of the ship. As Oriana cleaned up the rest of the ship, she spent her time keeping areas in check as the UNSC Navy and Office of Naval Intelligence moved the ship around Covenant controlled space. Once getting caught, Oriana and Red Team held off the initial boarding teams which allowed for Navy personnel and other assets to vacate specific sectors. A SPARTAN-II Class-II squad linked up with Red Team in the hangar where they were able to keep a variety of enemy forces from destroying their Prowler and means of escape. Once Oriana boarded the Prowler with Red Team, they vacated the Covenant ship and returned to UNSC controlled space not long after. Following the success of the RL-54 Incident, Oriana was transferred back to the Unified Special Warfare Command where she began to participate in operations for the UNSC Air Force. The Covenant soon attacked the Parisian Front, Oriana and Red Team were deployed to assist with the defense of the Parisian Front colonies that were quickly under attack by the Covenant.

Pushed to become the best officer and SPARTAN, Oriana trained herself to transform herself into an extremely teachable candidate. Throughout the Human-Covenant War and her constant deployments, Oriana always worked to become a better officer despite being told she was not capable of doing so. Oriana used the lessons she learned throughout the Human-Covenant War to educate herself as a smarter and tactical leader compared to one she was before. Following her return to active duty, Oriana has become an officer who leads with intense motivated along with her experience being the guiding principle to the success of each mission. In SPARTAN training, Oriana reinforced herself as someone who was unbreakable and nearly all-powerful. Cocky and egoistic became some of the traits that others put with Oriana during her time as a Non-Company Team Troop Commander. Oriana also had been known for being an annoyance to other SPARTANs that did not serve under her command, contributing to drama between many Alpha Company Squadrons that she thrived off of during her time deploying with Alpha Company. Her cockiness was put in check by an ODST Captain before a mission, and Oriana quickly changed her attitude after seeing that her own were not a fan of the way she was acting. Throughout the Human-Covenant War, Oriana lost a lot of troops that were attached to her command. Once losing her own troops, Oriana slipped into a major depression and was relieved of command for not being psychologically fit. While Oriana recovered from the psychological scars, she asked for help and met with people to discuss the issues she was having. Oriana built up a network of people she could trust and opened up to them, making herself vulnerable. Expressing her emotions and pains, Oriana learned the importance of breaks and having downtime in between high-intensity deployments. The idea became reinforced when she fell in love and married, allowing her to have someone stable in her life since the attack on Eridanus II. As an experienced leader who has lost more than she will ever know, Oriana uses the lessons she learned from Colton and other former SOF leaders during the Human-Covenant War. Taking all the valuable lessons she learned, Oriana transformed herself into a SPARTAN that teaches and educates those around regardless of being augmented or not. Oriana also values the non-augmented troops as well, claiming that they are the success of her missions irrespective of how she feels. Taking a new team under her command, Oriana spends her time developing her team between each task to ensure they are ready for any situation placed into their hands.

RelationshipsSamuel-B256Clayton Frommenwiler
Clayton Frommenwiler is Oriana's husband, only friend, and biggest supporter. Initially, Oriana met Clayton during the Human-Covenant War while he served within SPECWAR Group 3 as an Operations Officer for Red Team in 2551 and 2552. As Oriana's command suffered throughout the Battle for Earth due to the death of her team, Clayton worked with an Office of Naval Intelligence psychologist to relieve her of command before situations grew worse for the SPARTAN officer. Once Oriana got removed from command, Clayton worked with ONI officers to get her assigned to reserve duty. Once Oriana left active duty, Clayton took it upon himself to oversee the well being of Oriana. Throughout the Post-Covenant War conflicts, Clayton worked with Oriana on getting her mental and physical health back in line. He became the shoulder to cry on while Oriana poured her heart to him while also being the one person she trusted the most since the Battle of Eridanus II. What started as a caring relationship, turned romantic and the two fell for one another while Oriana continued to search for stability in her life. Clayton became the foundation of stability when the two married in 2556, three years after she left active duty. In 2557, Oriana felt she needed to return to her duty for being a SPARTAN, one that worried Clayton. He voiced the concern that all their work was going to get untangled due to her being thrown back into an infantry position. Oriana welcomed the worried responses from someone she trusted, yet still felt she had an obligation for being a SPARTAN. Clayton struggled with accepting that Oriana decided to work for the Beta-5 Division, citing that she was bound to go Missing in Action and never see him again. Oriana proved him wrong by seeing him in-between rotations. Following the end of the Created Crisis, Clayton greeted Oriana to see all their work from 2552 to 2557 had been untangled. He was frustrated at her for going back into service. Clayton worked for Oriana to get a medical discharge and worked to build her mental health back up. As Oriana told Clayton about what she saw, he understood what she was feeling and supported her while she continued to rebuild her life. Not long after her medical discharge, the two welcomed a daughter into their lives and moved to Sundown where they reside and raise Daphne Frommenwiler. Colton Bryson
Colton Bryson was a former UNSC Army Rangers officer who was claimed to be a top officer within the Unified Special Warfare Command. In 2556, Oriana met with Colton for the first time after Clayton set up a meeting with him. The two were able to talk about tactics and strategy for a time, but Colton noticed that Oriana was not able to settle down as a civilian. Colton told Oriana that she was not ready for settling down, wich Oriana rejected and slowly began to accept. Despite Colton's blunt assessment on Oriana, she decided to face the decision of going back onto active duty where she was going to be one of the few SPARTANs who had a family and were deploying. Colton began to teach Oriana tactics he had learned to prepare her for returning to combat duty. Privately working with Oriana, he transformed her from a good Special Warfare Officer into a great Special Warfare Officer. Team OsageAssigned to Team Osage upon her return to active duty, Oriana found herself in command of a five personnel special warfare team that was operating under the Office of Naval Intelligence. The troop leader of Team Osage, Oriana took what she learned as a non-company team officer and Colton to produce plans and execute missions with an overwhelming amount of success. As Team Osage continued to deploy, Oriana became known as a leader of an extremely effective and powerful team. Due to Oriana's family, Team Osage can have free time and live a life outside of their constant deployments. Even though Oriana earned the nickname Mother by her peers, it had become one of the more trademark nicknames that Oriana had in her time of service.
