History: Riley was originally born and raised on Mars, both of her parents were apart of the UNSC Navy both of them were commanding their own ships, they were veterans fighting against the insurrectionists. When the war with the Covenant started Riley was born and her mother was on leave to raise her daughter, growing up she lived a pretty normal life she rarely ever saw her father due to the war. But she decided to become a marine and fight on the frontlines and help defend humanity even though they were losing the war. She rose through the ranks of the marines very quickly, that was when her superior suggested that she go for the ODST's. Riley spent several long grueling months to a year through their intensive training, which she eventually passed, when the Battle of Reach started that was where she had heard the news of the death of her mother and father. Riley was stationed on one of the defense platforms on Earth when the UNSC ordered the homefleet back to the Sol System to defend Earth, that's when Regrets fleet came through. She and her squad defended against their Covenant borders as the Covenant started planting bombs on the defense platforms. When the UNSC finally got most of the Covenant off the second wave carrying Truth's fleet to Earth came several weeks later. She was one of the few to battle against the Covenant at Voi, then the Flood came to Earth and the Arbiter's fleet came in glassing half of the continent just to prevent the flood from taking over. She was apart of the uneasy alliance with the Covenant separatists and fought at The Lesser Ark, when the war ended Riley was approached by some men and women recruiting her due to her service record which she agreed to. She went through the long training and then the augmentation process, which she survived the procedure as well as training taking sometime she got used to them. She was then assigned to the Spartan Fireteam Rogue Seven alongside Andromedai.

She is known to crack some jokes just to try and lighten the mood of the other squadmates and will take the time to try and get to know all of them when she has the time to.[/hider]
