Biography
Maria-062 was born on December 1st, 2511. When she was only six years old, in 2517, she was kidnapped by the Office of Naval Intelligence as a conscripted participant in the SPARTAN-II Program, headed by Dr. Catherine Halsey and Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, on Reach. Like all others, she was trained by Mendez and the synthetic Déjà. She was one of the one hundred and two candidates to survive the program's deadly augmentation procedures, and rose up to become a SPARTAN-II.

On October 20th, 2552, Maria was provided combat exercise for the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI at the Special Warfare Center, in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on Korea, Earth. There, she was expected to engage Echo and Kilo Team while being overseen by Captain Song Huyn Ki. Maria was deployed from low orbit at Earth with parafoil, where she launched a covert attack against the ODSTs.

Almost immediatly, she neutralized six of the trainers with paint pellet guns and physical moves. When she entered in the nearby structure, she was subdued by Kilo Team, who were covering and waiting for her. The armor was later sent to her fellow SPARTAN-II John-117 at Cairo Station, minutes before the beginning of the Covenant's invasion and the Battle of Earth.
