==Biography==
===Childhood===
===Childhood===
Vinh was conscripted into the [[SPARTAN-II]] program in [[2517]] at age six, when Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] singled her out as a physically and intellectually superior child. She was abducted from her home and replaced with a [[Flash-Cloning|flash clone]]. She was then taken to [[Reach]] where she was trained with the rest of the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers by [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]]. She was one of the [[SPARTAN-II]]s to survive the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]], and afterward she went on numerous missions against the [[Covenant]].

She was then taken to [[Reach]] where she was trained with the rest of the [[SPARTAN-II]] soldiers by [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]]. She was one of the thirty-three [[SPARTAN-II]]s to survive the [[SPARTAN-II Augmentation Procedures]], and afterward she went on numerous missions against the [[Covenant]], including the [[Battle of Sigma Octanus IV]].


===Reach===
===[[Reach]]===
Vinh fought in the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]]. She was assigned to Red Team, under charge and leadership of [[Frederic-104]]. They were assigned as shock infantry to the surface of [[Reach]], to defend the [[Orbital defense generator|generators]] for the [[Orbital defense platform|orbital MAC guns]]. As they descended, their [[D77-TC|Pelican]], [[Bravo 1]], was hit and the Spartans were forced to jump from the crashing vessel. Vinh was wounded during this jump, suffering from a torn deltoid muscle, three broken fingers, and a herniated disk.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 14''</ref>

Fred then assigned her to Delta Team, under charge of [[William-043]]. Their mission was to secure the fallback position for the Spartans: [[CASTLE Base]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 23''</ref> Vinh, [[William-043]], and [[Isaac-039]] were separated from three other [[Spartan-II|Spartans]] and the remaining members of [[Charlie Company]] but arrived at CASTLE Base.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 116''</ref> They were unable to enter the facility until [[Frederic-104|Fred]] and [[Kelly-087|Kelly]] met up with them and Kelly whispered ''[[Oly Oly Oxen Free]]'' into the speaker of the facility. Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] was present, and opened the door for them. She was then checked out by Dr. Halsey and sent to survey perimeter defenses for the facility. This proved unnecessary, however, as the [[Covenant]] attacked immediately.

===Disappearance===
Vinh, Isaac, Fred, Kelly, [[William-043|Will]], and Dr. Catherine Halsey were then trapped under [[CASTLE Base]] for several days after Halsey activated [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]] to destroy the base and keep it from falling into enemy hands. Vinh was able to upgrade her [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] with parts salvaged from the base. These upgrades were being conducted in field-testing and had yet to be certified. Vinh received a new linear accelerator added to her shield system, essentially doubling its shielding output.

After Fred discovered the massive [[Menachite portal complex|Forerunner complex]] containing the [[Forerunner crystal]], it sent a massive radiation spike that allowed the Covenant to triangulate on the group's position. A Covenant [[gravity lift]] quickly appeared. The group retreated to a nearby tunnel, as Vinh and Isaac dropped [[satchel charge]]s to cover the Spartans' tracks. The charges detonated, but Vinh and Isaac disappeared. They could not be raised on the [[COM]]. Vinh is [[ONI Directive 930|listed as MIA]], but is assumed to be [[KIA]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 148''</ref>

*In the original edition of ''Halo: First Strike'', Vinh is listed as "SPARTAN-029" on pages 121 and 148, although the tag "029" belongs to [[Joshua-029|Joshua]]. This error has been fixed in the 2010 edition.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''pages 149, 180'' (2010 edition)</ref>
*Judging from her name, she may have been of Vietnamese descent.
