Felicia Sanderson was born on the UNSC colony of [[Harvest]].

As punishment, her father made her enlist in the [[Colonial Military Administration|Colonial Military]], telling her it was time to grow up. Felicia would later tell her comrades that she was forced to join after an incident with a girl she met in a bar, who turned out to be the [[Nils Thune|governor's]] daughter (an event which actually took place, but was not the reason for her enlistment). After getting out of boot camp, Felicia met [[Gage Yevgenny]] and [[Eric Santiago]] at the [[Utgard]] Space Port. The three quickly became friends. They participated in [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] on [[Eridanus II]], doing small jobs, such as investigating possible [[Insurrectionist|rebel]] activity and riot control in [[Elysium City]]. After two months, they had made friends with [[Allison Stark]], a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] pilot for the CMA, who often flew them to parties on weekends. One particular weekend, after flying a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] to a night club, an Insurrectionist bomb went off inside, killing Allison, sending Eric into a coma, and heavily injuring Gage and Felicia, who were pulled out of the rubble by ODSTs. | ||
While recovering in | While recovering in hospital, Gage, inspired by the ones that saved them, decided to join the ODSTs. Felicia, who had nothing else to lose, decided to join along with him. However, after several weeks of hard training, they were informed of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] threat and Harvest's destruction. Felicia fell into horrified shock and screamed at Gage for his disrespect toward the planet. | ||

Gage and another ODST had just been rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[SPARTAN-II Program|strange soldier]] clad in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|gray-green armor]]. Felicia had Gage transferred to the ship she was on, the {{UNSCShip|Chares}}, and while retreating the planet after another defeat, she showed him that Eric had come out of his coma after five years and had become a [[UNSC Navy]] pilot. The three were delighted to be together again, and already were having talks of retirement. | ||

In [[2552# | In [[2552#September|September 2552]], five years after reuniting with her friends, Felicia was involved in an operation during the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]<ref group="note">It has been confirmed in a comment by [[Tobias Buckell]] [http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2010/03/examination-of-female-characters-part-3.html here] that the rookie in ''Dirt'' is the same character as [[The Rookie]] from ''Halo 3: ODST''. Thus, the battle depicted in the story has to be the Battle of New Jerusalem, as it was the last battle in which The Rookie participated before the [[Battle of Earth]].</ref> to infiltrate the city of [[Mount Haven]], which was under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for [[Forerunner|alien]] artifacts. Simultaneously, several former CMA members were performing a clandestine operation to extract a massive supply of [[gold]] from a bank. However, after infiltrating the bank, the ODST team discovered a class of school children and their teacher hiding in the underground vault, hoping to survive the planet's inevitable [[glassing]]. After loading two [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] full of gold, the ODSTs knew there was no room for the children. To deceive the civilians, the ODSTs claimed that the gold would be used in the UNSC's war effort. Gage, who had seen too many people killed by the Covenant, was in strong favor of postponing the mission to save them. The other ODSTs, who claimed the children were as good as dead, disagreed, causing an argument. Felicia stepped in, wanting to call in more Pelicans, but the other ODSTs had already raised their weapons at one another. In an instant, Gage was shot in the abdomen, three other squad members were dead, and Felicia was shot in the neck and fatally wounded. Gage rushed to her side, but she died in his arms. | ||
Felicia's death deeply affected Gage, leading him to embark on a suicide mission in which he lured the other rogue ODST's and hundreds of Covenant into the mountains surrounding the city with the gold and the artifacts. He then killed them all, including himself, by detonating a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva nuclear warhead]]. | |||
