==Biography==
[[File:Spearbreak.jpg|350px|thumb|right|Sunray 1-1 during Operation: SPEARBREAKER.]]
Gruss was present on the modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}}, ''Spirit of Fire'', on [[2531|February 4, 2531]] when it arrived at the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Harvest]] to fight the Covenant's [[Fleet of Glorious Interdiction]] there. She then went on to to witness the [[Battle for Arcadia]] and the [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|fight]] between the UNSC crew and the Fleet of Glorious Interdiction within the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] known as the [[Etran Harborage]]. After the ship's [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] was sacrificed to destroy the shield world, Gruss entered [[cryostasis]] along with the other survivors.<ref name="cutscene"/> 

Over twenty-eight years later, she and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark.<ref name="Alice Report">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' – "Alice-130 Report #1"</ref> There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. After the departure of [[Installation 04C|a newly-created]] [[Halo ring]] put it beyond the Banished's grasp on [[2559|April 2, 2559]], the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] hatched a plot which [[James Cutter]], captain of the ''Spirit of Fire'', had no choice but to respond to. Gruss was attached to [[Sunray 1-1]], which was tasked with stopping Colony's scheme as part of [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]. She was accompanied on this mission by [[Major]] [[Vaughan]], [[Warrant Officer]] [[Quinn]], [[Corporal]] [[Turpin]], and [[Lance Corporal]] [[Sparks]].<ref name="cf"/>

==Personality and traits==
Gruss is a woman of very few words. The ODSTs of Sunray 1-1 make it their mission to interpret “Doc’s” opinion of their shenanigans by analyzing her body language, sighs, rude gestures, and grunts of disapproval. This friendly harassment ends when combat begins, for Doc holds the lives of the troopers in her able hands, wielding biofoam and trauma packs across the squad’s position with incredible skill and delicacy. So perfect is her timing in dealing with injury that it borders on the prescient, and squad members resign themselves to the inevitable if Doc appears near them during battle.<ref name="cf"/>

 ==Personality and traits==
-Gruss is a woman of few words, and as such her comrades in Sunray 1-1 have made it their mission to interpret the corpsman's opinions via analysis of her body language, sighs, rude gestures, and grunts of disapproval. This friendly harassment extends only as far as the unit's downtime - in the field, Gruss serves Sunray as a skilled [[hospital corpsman]] capable of keeping the soldiers under her charge from death. Gruss' timing in dealing with injury is so perfect that it borders on the prescient, and squad members resign themselves to the inevitable if Doc appears near them during battle.{{Ref/Reuse|CFFrosty}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

-Due to her success as a field medic, the ODSTs of Boomerang Company have repeatedly tried to induct her into their ranks as an honourary ODST, despite her Navy background. Despite the repeated attempts, Gruss has repeatedly been able to avoid them - though the Marines know not to press too far to avoid invoking the ire of Gruss or Major Vaughan.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}
-==Equipment==
-Gruss employs a [[ODST armor/Late-war design|late-war]] design of [[ODST armor]], with a custom chestplate bearing the unit patch of Sunray 1-1. She makes use of an [[M7S SMG]] as her primary weapon, and a full complement of [[biofoam]] canisters.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}}
