== Summary ==
Kelly-087 is one of the [[Spartans|Spartan-II]] supersoldiers. She is well known due to close friendships with [[Master Chief|John-117]] and [[Spartan-104|Fredric-104]]. She is missing but assumed to be alive.

== Personality and Description==
Kelly is the notorious fast Spartan. She is capable of running at bursts exceeding 55 KPH (34.18 MPH), has quicker reflexes than all other Spartans, and is even capable of accomplishing normal tasks quickly and more precisely than her fellow Spartans. She has demonstrated an incredible tolerance for pain, as she has been injured gravely on several occasions and managed to recover fully each time. When she was younger, Kelly had her hair dyed blue and was taller than John. He eventually outgrew her, and her hair color is reverted to its natural color, which was brown.

==Biography==
Kelly-087 was conscripted into the Spartan-II program at age six in 2517 when she was singled out as a physically and intellectually superior child by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]]. She was abducted from her home and replaced with a [[Flash-Cloning|Flash Clone]], then sent to [[Reach]]. 

On her first day of Spartan training, Kelly was teamed up with John-117 and [[Spartan-034|Samuel-034]] during a drill at [[Military Reservation 01478-B]]. Their team did poorly and finished last place. They were not allowed to eat that night, but they learned a valuable lesson in teamwork that they would never forget. The three of them became close friends the next day.

Kelly participated in numerous missions with the Spartans from 2517 to 2525, including to [[Emerald Cove]], [[Chiron]], [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]], and several in the [[Highland Mountains]]. 

After her Spartan augmentation procedures at the [[ONI Medical Facility]] station, Kelly almost died. She was the slowest to recover from the operations, and many times her fellow Spartans were afraid she would not make it. She did, and her already amazing speed was even further augmented. John noted that she was "almost uncatchable, no one could get her if she didn't want them to."

Kelly participated in the Spartans' first mission to [[Eridanus II]]. She, along with John, Fred, Sam, and [[Spartan-058|Linda-058]] boarded the ''[[Laden]]'' and infiltrated [[Eridanus Secundus]]. They then captured [[Colonel Robert Watts]], leader of the [[Eridanus Rebels]]. 

In 2535, Kelly was present at [[Jericho VII]]. She was designated as Blue-Two and was at John's side during a mission to kill 1,000 [[Grunt]]s to avenge the [[105th Drop Jet Platoon]]. However, after 3 days of hard fighting, they were forced to retreat and watch the planet be [[glassing|glassed]].

In 2552, Kelly was sent to [[Sigma Octanus IV]] during [[The Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]]. She was designated Blue-Two, part of John's team, and carried a [[HAVOK Nuclear Warhead]] to the [[Covenant]] held city of [[Côte d'Azur]]. Sucessful, her team boarded a [[Pelican]] and docked with the ''[[Leviathan|UNSC Levitahan]]'', and returned to Reach.

She was briefly aboard the ''[[Pillar of Autumn|UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' in preparation for the Spartans' mission to capture a Covenant [[Prophet]]. Unfortunately, the Covenant found Reach first. During [[The Battle of Reach]], she was designated as Red-Two, part of Fred's team. Their mission was to defend the generators for the orbital [[MAC]] guns. As their Pelican, [[Bravo 001]], descended to the surface of Reach, it was shot down by plasma fire. Kelly was apparently injured in this fall, though she made no indication of it. The Spartans were then forced to jump from the crashing Pelican. 

They eventually rallied at [[ODG Facility A-331]]. After receiving a message from [[Admiral Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Stanforth Whitcomb]], Fred assigned her to Team "Alpha", along with himself and [[Spartan-029|Joshua-029]]. They piloted [[Banshee]] fliers to a Covenant landing zone where she threw a [[Fury Tactical Nukes|Fury Tactiical Nuke]] into the [[Gravity Lift]] of a Covenant vessel. Though they sucessfully destroyed the LZ, Joshua was shot down and assumed to be killed. 

She and Fred were then forced to retreat back to Team "Delta"'s position after it appeared that all the Spartans of team "Beta" were killed at the ODG Facility. They were then forced to land, contend with a pair of [[Hunters]], and comandeer [[Wraith]] tanks in order to get to [[CASTLE Base]] where team "Delta" was hidden. They met up with [[Spartan-043|Willaim-043]], [[Spartan-030|Vinh-030]], and [[Spartan-039|Isaac-039]]. The five Spartans were unable to enter the facility until Kelly thought to whipsper [[Oly Oly Oxen Free]] into the speaker. The door opened. It turned out that Dr. Halsey was in the facility.

Kelly's injuries turned out to be life threatening, she had a fever and low blood pressure due to moderate bleeding in her liver, and one of her lungs was completely collapsed. Dr. Halsey noted that it was amazing that Kelly was still alive despite these two fatal conditions. "That the woman was still on her feet, let alone fighting, was tantamount to an act of God."

The Covenant attacked immediately, and Dr. Halsey was forced to activate [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]]. The Spartans were then trapped beneath the base for several days until Fred found some [[Forerunner]] caves. The five Spartans and Dr. Halsey then discovered the [[Forerunner Crystal]] artifact. It sent a spike of radiation that allowed the Covenant to triangulate on the Spartan's position, and a Grav life immediately appeared. The Group forced to retreat, but Vinh and Isaac disappeared after their [[Satchel Charge]]s exploded. Kelly, Fred, Will, and Dr. Halsey were then trapped in a cavern for several days until they were rescued by John-117, [[Spartan-044|Anton-044]], and Admiral Whitcomb. During the operation though, Kelly was hit by the [[Fuel Rod Gun]] of two Hunters as she tried to protect Dr. Halsey. Once again, she was critically wounded.

Kelly was whisked aboard a [[Covenant Dropship]] and taken to the captured ''[[Ascendant Justice]]/[[Gettysburg]]''. It took some time for her to heal, and while she was sedated, Dr. Halsey took her aboard the private vessel of [[Governor Jacob Jiles]], which entered [[slipspace]] heading for places unknown.

She is the the only Spartan II that is ''truly'' MIA, although an [[ONI]] order states that all Spartan II´s killed in action are to be labeled missing to keep up morale.

==Speculation==
It is speculated that Kelly and Dr. Halsey may have gone to [[Onyx]] where they met up with Chief Mendez again, who was training the rumored [[Spartan-III]]s, though this is unknown for certain.
