Addison Solaski

Addison Solaski was the only daughter of a pair of hard-working farmers from , and from a young age, she knew that she had no passion for farming. However, she was intelligent and academically successful, and in late 2524, at the age of 13, she earned a scholarship at the Kimberly A. Moorstead Academy, a prestigious private secondary academy and university on the nearby colony of Roleath. This angered her parents, who wished for her to inherit the farm.
By the time Addison arrived on Roleath in April of 2525, Harvest, unbeknownst to her, had fallen under attack by a ruthless religious alien hegemony known as the . Along with the vast majority of Harvest's population, Addison's parents would perish in what would later become known as the . Addison herself, however, would not be informed of this, as the Roleathan government would secretly orchestrate a media blackout on any and all information concerning the fate of Harvest or the existence of the Covenant. A communications blackout and strict travel ban to and from nearby worlds soon accompanied this, with the Roleathan government claiming this to be a temporary measure to cripple a mounting threat. Although upset about being unable to contact her friends and family back home (who were, in reality, all dead), Addison was happy to now be on a colony where the threat posed by the Insurrection was much lower.
Later on, in 2529, in response to a supposed nuclear threat, activity began to markedly increase on Roleath. The Moorstead Academy, constructed around the base of a space elevator in the center of the colony's capital city of Lotora, was the site of particularly increased security. As such, a was set up nearby Addison's dormitory. On June 3rd, 2529, Addison would cross paths with a UNSC sailor named Bailey. Tall, young, handsome, and endearingly awkward, she would quickly take a liking to him, and would begin stopping by the firebase to meet him on her way to and from classes.
Over the next several weeks Addison would cultivate a mostly friendly relationship with Bailey, though became frustrated as he started to become somewhat nosy and overprotective despite the recency of their acquaintance, ultimately coming to a head when Bailey informed her that Harvest had been destroyed by alien invaders, and that he had confirmed that her family had perished during the attack. Stricken with disbelief, Addison concluded that this revelation must have been some kind of sick joke, and subsequently cut off contact with Bailey.
Less than a week later, however, Addison would be awoken late at night as broke into her dorm building, going room to room and wantonly killing students. Soon enough, the creatures broke into her room and prepared to do the same to her, a figure clad in yellow-painted metal armor burst in and killed the creatures, then grabbed Addison as she was desperately attempting to flee the confusion. The figure removed their helmet, revealing themself to be none other than Bailey.
Following her rescue, circumstances would then see Addison tag along with Bailey and the rest of SPARTAN Team Sapphire for most of the First and portions of the Second Battles of Lotora in what would become the Battle of Roleath. In the aftermath of the battle, Bailey and the rest of Sapphire Team would remain on Roleath for several months as the fleet elements they were attached to participated in initial cleanup efforts. During this time, the relationship between Addison and Bailey developed into a romantic one, with Bailey revealing to her his past in the . The two would ultimately end up consummating the relationship shortly before Sapphire Team finally departed Roleath in October 2529, at which point the two exchanged tearful goodbyes.
Addison would relocate to , where she would pursue education towards a degree in photojournalism at the University of . In 2532 she would land an internship with to help work on a story regarding the political fallout of a corporate scandal in the city of New Osaka on the of Nordarus.
