==Background==
===Early life===
Ava Lang was born around [[2529]] in [[Chicago]], [[URNA]], [[Earth]]. Lang grew up surrounded by technology thanks to her mother's work as a leading engineer for [[Acheron Security]] on the [[Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System]], and spent much of her time tinkering with projects. Her mother's work eventually inspired Ava herself to study new semi-automated solutions for explosive ordnance disposal.{{Ref/Site|Id=CFRaven|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/thats-so-raven|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - That's So Raven}}
 
When she eventually enlisted in the [[UNSC]], her skillset expanded to include the employment of explosive ordnance in more offensive capacities. Her deft decision-making and unflappable resolve eventually landed her a spot in the [[ODST]] ranks, where she was soon assigned to [[Fireteam Raven]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFRaven}} By August [[2552]], Fireteam Raven were assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} for [[Operation: RED FLAG]], and were part of the ship's complement when it made its escape during the [[Fall of Reach]]. When the ''Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] on September 19, Lang, and the rest of the team, were assigned by their commanding officer Major [[Antonio Silva]] to defend the cruiser from [[Battle over Installation 04|boarding actions]]. The squad would defend the ODST drop bay and eventually make their way into the ship's corridors to clear out [[Covenant]] troops, before being tasked by [[Wellsley]] to conduct a [[Extra-vehicular activity|spacewalk]] and man the cruiser's [[M910 Rampart point defense network]], to assist in shooting down [[Elsedda-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] and [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraphs]]. The team would eventually make their way back to the drop bay, however, and evacuate the ''Autumn'' along with the rest of the ship's complement of personnel.{{Ref/Level|Id=escape|HFR|Escape (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Escape}}
 
===Battle of Installation 04===
[[File:HFR-Graves, Ava, Ramos.png|left|thumb|250px|Lang, [[Ethan Graves]] and [[Victor Ramos]] are briefed at Alpha Base.]]
{{Main|Battle of Installation 04}}
Lang would land on Installation 04 with the rest of her squad, but separated from the UNSC forces at large who, under Lieutenant [[Melissa McKay]], were [[First Battle of Alpha Base|capturing]] the soon-to-be-named [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. Thanks to a mobile communications uplink with Wellsley, the squad would hike for twenty-eight hours across the surface of the Installation, eventually meeting up with Mckay and her mechanised convoy on September 20 to [[Raid on the Pillar of Autumn|raid the wreckage]] of the now-downed ''Pillar of Autumn''{{Ref/Level|HFR|Rubble}}, before later joining the UNSC forces at Alpha Base. Lang would proceed to assist in the defense of Alpha Base{{Ref/Level|HFR|Alpha Base (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Alpha Base}}, before later being recalled to the ice canyons near the Installation's [[Control Room (Installation 04)|Control Room]] to deal with a new threat; the [[Flood]]. While in the area, Raven would be tasked with keeping the area clear to allow [[SPARTAN-II]] [[John-117]] to proceed with his mission to destroy the Installation. With this objective soon completed, the team evacuated via [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]], though their craft was shot down by a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]]{{Ref/Level|HFR|Ice Canyon}}, eventually crash-landing elsewhere on the ring. The team would hold off masses of Covenant and Flood forces before eventually being extracted by [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]].{{Ref/Level|HFR|Raven Down}}
 
===Death===
With the Master Chief now intending to destroy the ring, Lang and the rest of her team were redirected to the wreckage of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' once more to hold off an assault by the Covenant and Flood combined, including a {{Pattern|Deutoros|Scarab}}. The team would deploy in a [[M12B Warthog]] to the site alongside Marine forces, and take down swaths of enemy troops before the Master Chief was eventually able to detonate the fusion engine of the ''Autumn'' and destroy the ring, killing Fireteam Raven and everyone else on the site.{{Ref/Level|HFR|Last Stand (Halo: Fireteam Raven level)|Last Stand}}
 
==Equipment==
Ava Lang sported a purple-coloured set of the [[ODST armor/DEMO|ODST/DEMO armor]]. In her role as a demolitions/ explosives expert, Lang carried explosives in her backback, though was most commonly seen wielding an [[MA5B assault rifle]].{{Ref/Reuse|HFR}}
 
==Trivia==
The Tactical Autonomous Robotic Defense System mentioned as being worked on by Lang's mother is the setting of the ''[[Halo 2]]'' multiplayer map [[Foundation]].
