==Biographical Overview==
===Early Life===
Giulia was born on March 13, 2530, on a Parabola-class freighter that was en route to the Sol system. The ship was being used to ferry surviving civilians from a doomed Outer Colony that was invaded by a genocidal alien religious hegemony, known as the . Giulia's mother died en route, during childbirth, and the baby would be placed in a group home on . Giulia would grow up as a toughened urchin on the streets of Asia's metropolitan cities, surrounded by poverty and petty crime. Using her smarts and resilience, the young girl got by as a petty thief and learned to fend for herself. 
In 2537, after making her way into to escape her abusive foster parents in Korea, Giulia was looking to start anew but had nothing, to begin with. Thus, she was forced back into a life of delinquency. One day, Giulia had failed to steal some food from a gang of delinquents and was cornered in an alleyway, where she tried to fight them off in a fruitless effort. However, Giulia would be rescued by an older gentleman, who used his form of mixed martial arts to fight off Giulia's attackers. Hiroki Iwata, the man who saved Giulia, would see the girl was still standing and still ready to defend herself. Hiroki took the girl to a nearby clinic to get her wounds treated. Upon learning that she was a runaway and an orphan, Hiroki would adopt Giulia into his family.
For two years, Giulia was raised by Hiroki Iwata and his wife, Mika, a fellow Martial Arts practitioner, and became a stepsister to their five other children. The couple were both martial arts practitioners and had their own dojo in the Chūbu region. Giulia would be taught martial arts by her adoptive parents, where she was taught Daitō-ryū Aiki-jūjutsu by Hiroki, and Rindoukan by Mika. Giulia proved to have an affinity for martial arts, and she became one the dojo's most dedicated and talented students. 
Giulia grew closer to her new family and became a much more outgoing and social child. Giulia had formed strong bonds with her step-siblings, always protecting the youngest ones and looking up to her older siblings for guidance. Giulia was enrolled in primary school in Osaka, where she excelled in academics, especially in mathematics and literature. In her free time, Giulia continued to hone her martial arts, as she trained within the pristine, wooden floors of the Iwata family dojo with many other students. Giulia would challenge herself in every way, whether it was competing in junior martial arts competitions or even learning new languages.
ONI operatives, who were recruiting kids for the SPARTAN-III super-soldier program, ventured into the Sol System for suitable candidates for the next batch of Spartans. They would stumble upon Giulia and her records and be impressed with her. After examining her genetic and psychological profiles, the ONI agents fielded an offer to Giulia to become a Spartan. While hesitant to leave her family, Giulia agreed when it was brought up that the alien horde had taken her parents, and they were slowly moving towards Earth, endangering her new family. Several days later, Giulia quietly disappeared from the Iwata family home, leaving a letter of Goodbye.
===SPARTAN-III Program===
====Induction and Training Regimen====
Giulia and 329 other children were taken away by ONI operatives and placed on a frigate destined for a mysterious planet known as . The trainees were met by and , their commanders, and were tasked with performing a "night jump" from a high-flying Pelican dropship, in order to be inducted into Beta Company. Giulia, with no hesitation, followed through with the jump and was officially inducted into Beta Company.
The S-III trainees were put through their strenuous physical and survival training phase for the first months of their training. During this time, Giulia was pushed to his physical peak during this initial phase of training. Giulia strived to be the best, becoming competitive and eager to outperform her expectations. From the onset, Giulia showed she was among the elite of her company, as her athleticism and intelligence were on full display. She demonstrated adept ability in weapons training, especially on weapons systems focused on Close-Quarters combat. However, what made Giulia stand out was her skills in hand-to-hand combat. She demonstrated knowledge and technique in martial arts and was practically unbeatable during the sparring sessions. Very few candidates in Beta Company were able to outperform Giulia during training, impressing DIs and earning the respect of her company peers. Giulia rose the ranks, and was earmarked for special roles outside of Beta Company.
It wasn't just her combat skills that were impressive, but her leadership qualities and charisma. During her team field exercises, Giulia led teams with poise and confidence and was able to optimize her opportunities for success during these exercises. Giulia demonstrated care for the well-being of those under her leadership and became a fairly calming presence among her peers. Giulia also developed a competitive streak within herself, always testing herself against others in Beta Company. Giulia's performance impressed the likes of Colonel Ackerson and Lieutenant Ambrose, and she, along with a few others, was earmarked by them for "special assignment".
====Augmentations and Graduation====
In 2543, Beta Company was taken aboard the , a mobile medical/research station, to proceed with , the biological augmentation procedures performed on the Spartan-III trainees. Delsin, along with the other Beta Company trainees, was augmented with the following drugs:
*Drug 8942-LQ99: A carbide ceramic ossification catalyst to make skeletons virtually unbreakable. 
*Drug 88005-MX77: A fibroid muscular protein complex that boosted muscle density and strength. 
*Drug 88947-OP24: A retina-inversion stabilizer drug. It boosted color and night vision capabilities. 
*Drug 87556-UD61: Improved colloidal neural disunification solution, which in turn decreased reaction time.
Upon recovery from their augmentations, the Beta Company trainees were returned to Onyx to get accustomed to their enhanced strength and speed. Giulia spent a couple of weeks recovering and getting acclimated to her physical enhancements. After her recovery, Giulia was rotated back into the company to finish her training on Onyx with rest of her team.
As Beta Company's training drew to a close, a brief graduation ceremony was held by Kurt Ambrose, along with Franklin Mendez, to congratulate the children on their completion of training. Lieutenant Commander Ambrose and SCPO Mendez attempted to have Giulia transferred out of the company for "special operations", only to fail when Colonel Ackerson stonewalled them, feeling she would be more useful leading Spartans in the company. Outfitted with their weapons, advanced equipment, and Semi-Powered Infiltration armor, Giulia was assigned to be the leader of her Spartan fireteam for upcoming operations.
===Operational History during Human-Covenant War===
====Initial Combat Missions====
In 2545, Giulia-B255 and Beta Company were deployed on various combat operations against the Covenant on numerous worlds within the Outer Colonies. The Spartans of Beta Company participated in a few battles, and were able to secure significant victories over the Covenant forces, and blunting their advance into human-controlled space. Beta Company was also deployed on a few counter-Insurgency operations against the local human Insurrectionists with their area of operations. The Spartans also proved their mettle their, swiftly and quickly putting down and dismantling rebel operations and activities with ease.
During this time, Giulia distinguished herself as among Beta Company's finest. She proved herself formidable, as her CQC and Hand-to-Hand combat skills proved effective when engaging with hostile forces. Reports indicated that she was "virtually untouchable", as it detailed scenes of the Spartan taking down Covenant Elites and Brutes with her fists, and clearing out rooms and structures filled with rebel fighters in a quick fashion with close-quarter weapons. It was also indicated that she was capable leader, and proved herself to be much more than blunt instrument of combat. She was able to rally her team and local UNSC forces together, and was not afraid to take risks when she needed to in order to achieve her objectives. She was not a natural-born tactician, but she more than made that up with her charisma. After-action reports made recommendations that Giulia be used for more than frontline action.
After the conclusion of Operation: CARTWHEEL, Ambrose and Mendez were able to secure the transfer of several Spartans out of Beta Company, convincing Ackerson that her talent was more useful in the field of special operations. One of them was Giulia, who was to become a Spartan Headhunter, operating under the shadows of the Office of Naval Intelligence. While she was upset that she was to be seperated from her friends in Beta Company, Giulia recognized this as an opportunity to do more as a Spartan, and to make more of an impact in the war. More than anything, Giulia believed it was the best way to keep her promise; to become stronger in order to protect those that she loves.
====Headhunter Activities====
After completing the grueling headhunter training on Onyx, Giulia would then conduct direct action operations against Covenant leadership and engaged in rescue operations of UNSC assets captured by Covenant and Insurrectionist forces, working under the umbrella of the Office of Naval Intelligence. Giulia would also be utilized in defensive deployments when needed, protecting civilians and UNSC assets in hazardous conditions against Covenant forces. Despite being a solo operative, Giulia would also assist other UNSC forces in the field, whether it be regular UNSC armed forces or even other Spartans in need of support.
Soon after, Giulia was outfitted with CQC-class MJOLNIR armor and given advanced equipment and weapons for her next operations. Due to her skills and successes, Giulia was to be tasked with dangerous operations deep behind enemy lines, given objectives designed to disrupt and dismantle Covenant activities, and to rescue human civilians and UNSC assets caught in the Covenant's grasp. Now understanding that her actions could very well save lives, Giulia relished this new assignment with a renewed dedication to her duty to safeguard the remnants of humanity. This motivation was solidified further when Giulia learned of the doomed fate of Beta Company, as all 300 of her comrades, including her former team, were wiped out in a suicide mission.
Deployed into deep space, Giulia was tasked with infiltrating heavily fortified enemy installations, ships, and operation centers completely undetected, with minimal, mission-specific weaponry and no radio contact or hope for backup or retrieval. These operations were undertaken against Covenant forces, but Insurrectionists were not spared either. Giulia thrived under these conditions and she achieved a near-perfect success rate in her ops, while also racking up high kill counts at the same time. She usually operated alone but was time from time partnered with another Spartan or other special warfare operators. One of them was Ryne-A064, a Spartan from Alpha Company, the first generation of Spartan-IIIs. The two came together, incidentally, on Covenant-occupied jungle world, forced to work together to take down an HVT, a San'Shyuum minister, on a Covenant-occupied planet. The mission was a success, and they were even able to recover an ancient alien artifact that the Covenant were seeking out on the world.
Giulia and Ryne were polar opposites personality-wise, where Giulia's outgoing and effusive clashed with Ryne's anti-social and ruthless nature. However, Ryne's sniper and recon specialist skills complemented Giulia's CQC and analytical talents, as they proved to be an effective duo when engaging with Covenant forces. Due to their this success, Giulia and Ryne began to pair together more often in their missions, as it became very apparent to their superiors that they were a lethal combo. During their time, Ryne and Giulia developed an uneasy friendship, as Ryne's frosty and cold nature was thawed a bit by Giulia's sociable nature. At some point, the two Spartan Headhunters were recruited into the Asymmetrical Action Group, an elite ONI special warfare group designed to disrupt Covenant activities within their own territory. 
====Service in the Asymmetrical Action Group====
=====Early Activities and formation of Fireteam Disciple=====
Upon her induction into The Group, Giulia was taken to the Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility on Reach for her orientation. After her brief stay, Giulia and Ryne would be integrated into the AAG. The duo would go on to conduct several covert operations targeting Covenant leadership and installations. The team achieved a high success rate, near perfect, and left behind scenes of carnage and chaos in their areas of operations. However, it became apparent to AAG leadership that the team could accomplish more if another member was added to their team. Thus, a search began to find a new member. The task was difficult as Ryne and Giulia did get to work with other Spartans and Special Warfare operators, but it never worked out due to varying issues, whether it be availability or a "lack of chemistry". 
In 2546, while Giulia and Ryne prepped for a mission on an ONI orbital facility, a UNSC Prowler and a herd of civilian transports made their to said facility. On the prowler, a wounded and battered Spartan boarded the facility and was taken to the medical facilities for treatment. When Giulia learned of this, she inquired about who the Spartan was and was told that he was a Spartan from Beta Company and a survivor of the TORPEDO operation. Upon hearing this, Giulia rushed over to the medical bay with Ryne in tow. Bursting through the doorway, she realized it was Delsin-B240, an old acquaintance from their training on Onyx and whom she took protective watch on during that time. Giulia rushed over to hug a surprised Delsin. The two Spartans briefly conversed, trying to catch up with each other. Giulia was shocked that there were other survivors from TORPEDO and asked Delsin how he made it out. Delsin went silent, hesitant to reveal his cowardice. Before Giulia could comment further, Ryne coldly interrupted them and told Giulia they had a briefing to attend. The two Spartans left the bay, but not before giving a shaken Delsin another hug.
Upon their return from their mission, Giulia and Ryne were informed by Karina Liberatore, an ONI field officer that handled their missions at the time, that they were to become a three-man team, as Delsin would be added to the ranks of AAG. Giulia was ecstatic about reuniting with an old friend, but Ryne was clearly upset by the new development. After Delsin completed his orientation, the Spartan met with Giulia and Ryne at a classified facility for their first mission briefing. While Delsin and Giulia were happy to work together, Delsin got a frosty reception from Ryne, as the hardened Alpha Company Spartan viewed him as unworthy of his position. Giulia would act as a mediator between the two hostile Spartans, as she tried to lower tensions and get the two Spartans to work together. While they would be able to put the mission above their personal conflict, the two Spartans had developed a disdain for each over, forcing Giulia into the role of "peacekeeper".
With their success as a unit, the AAG leadership found it appropriate that Fireteam Disciple was to be deployed on higher-risk ops deep behind Covenant lines. From 2547 to 2550, Fireteam Disciple would traverse deep space in their Prowler, following their assigned operations and even conducting their own missions from time to time. Fireteam Disciple's initial activities were focused on direct action against Covenant incursions in the Outer and Inner Colonies, as they raided Covenant strongholds, ambushed Covenant troop movements, and targeted assassinations of Covenant military leadership. Fireteam Disciple demonstrated a high success rate in their combat operations and deployed on joint operations with the other AAG operatives, whether they were Spartans or regular operators. In particular, Giulia demonstrated to be more than CQC specialist, and proved herself as a fearless and dedicated leader in the field.
=====Operation: BLACK ZERO=====
In 2550, Naval Intelligence would task AAG with a daring, high-risk assassination operation, but its success would give a much-needed boost to the UNSC in their efforts. ONI reconnaissance had possibly located a Covenant Supreme Commander, known as Thel 'Vadamee. This Sangheili commanded one of the largest fleets in the Covenant known as the Fleet of Particular Justice. It had been known that this Sangheili commander had been instrumental in the Covenant's dominance over human forces, and it became imperative that this Elite had to neutralized in order to turn the tide. A task force of AAG operatives was formed, and it included Fireteam Disciple.
====Battle of Reach====
In late July of 2552, a small Covenant task force led by the Sh'wada-pattern supercarrier, Long Night of Solace, covertly established a foothold on Reach. Operating using cloaking technology and stealth tactics, the Covenant had created a fortified landing zone on Reach, with anti-air guns around the perimeter of their staging area in the Viery Territory where they had covertly inserted a large number of forces, including several corvettes. Once their presence was discovered by a Spartan fireteam, WINTER CONTINGENCY was declared. 
Fireteam Disciple was deployed on defensive deployments, as they fended off Covenant raids on settlements and outposts in the Viery Frontier for two weeks.
====Earth Sustained Defense Campaign====
On October 20, 2552, the Covenant fleet exited slipspace near Earth, engaging and breaching the planet's orbital defense platforms. The battle spread all over the globe in the following days and weeks with more and more Covenant fleets of multitude of warships continuing to arrive and attacked targeting cities and areas globally after the full compromise of Earth. In the initial days of the invasion, Ryne and Fireteam Disciple, now with two new Spartans from Gamma Company added to their ranks, were tasked with defensive operations in Europe, engaging Covenant forces in London, Hamburg, and regions in Eastern Europe.
===Post-War Era===
In the aftermath of the war, Fireteam Disciple was placed on temporary leave, as they tried to recuperate and recover from the recent battles on Earth. Still grieving from Delsin's passing, Giulia took time off on her own and ventured to Nagoya City in Japan. Giulia decided to take the risk of reconnecting with her step family, learning that they were still present on Earth. Paying them a visit to their home, Giulia had emotional reunion with the family. She explained where she went and what she was, much to the surprise and pride to Hiroki, Mika, and the siblings. She apologized profusely for leaving them, but was comforted by the family that she had nothing to apologize for and that they were proud of who she became. For the next few weeks, Giulia reconnected with her step-parents and siblings. 
By late March of 2553, with the Human-Covenant War officially over, Fireteam Disciple was recalled back into the fold of the Asymmetrical Action Group, as they were now needed for combat operations. Fireteam Disciple was deployed by the AAG on covert strike missions focused on intelligence-gathering, extraction, and direct action against the Covenant remnants and Insurrectionist militias in the decimated remains of the Outer Colonies. Disciple's operations also included other missions outside of the parameters, such as humanitarian and civil affairs, due to the lack of resources and UNSC forces being spread out so thin. This was also a time, where the fireteam were now conducting missions alongside the Covenant species that they had been fighting against for most of their lives. Even though Disciple still performed at their peak, the team had begun to grow a part, as Giulia still shunned Ryne, and the Gammas followed her lead in that regard. Giulia was still hurting from Delsin's passing, and resented Ryne's choice to follow orders, instead of saving Delsin. She actively avoided Ryne's company, and submitted a request for transfer from the team, unbeknownst to the rest of the team.
====Battle of LV-431====
In January of 2554, Fireteam Disciple was assigned to a joint UNSC-Sangheili task force for an operation deep in the Outer Colonies. A small Covenant remnant fleet, led by a San'Shyuum Minister, had established control of a lush world located on the frontier of the cluster, and established a base of operations. The Covenant Remnants on the planet had also set up an excavation site, as they seemingly uncovered an alien structure of unknown origin. The planet was known as LV-431, a world of vast seas and a wide equatorial band of humid, tropical terrain. It was a planet designated for colonization by humanity, before efforts were abandoned when the war with the Covenant broke out. Now, this Covenant remnant faction had made the planet their home. However, Fireteam Disciple's became incredibly motivated when they learned that Ossva 'Vagaduun, Delsin's killer, was the leader of the Covenant Remnant ground forces on the planet.
=====Initial Landing=====
=====Assault on the Remnant Base=====
====Reassignment and Repurposed====
With Ryne hospitalized, Fireteam DISCIPLE was placed on the inactive list, and the Spartans placed on a temporary furlough. Giulia would closely watch over a severely wounded Ryne. She visited him frequently, and inquired on his conditions frequently. During her visits, Giulia spoke to a comatose Ryne, as she expressed conflicting emotions, stating she was still angry with Ryne, but still cared for his well-being and unsure why. One day, while Giulia stood watch over Ryne, Sergeant Contreras paid a visit. Giulia explained her conundrum to the Sergeant. Contreras would reveal that Ryne chose to follow ONI's orders, not because he didn't care for Delsin, but because if he didn't follow orders, that Contreras and his men would be considered AWOL, and face imprisonment, maybe even worse. This bit of info angered Giulia, enraged that such a ultimatum was given, and more upset that Ryne didn't tell her. Contreras explained that Ryne felt shame over his choice, and that the Spartan regrets not finding a way. Thanking Contreras as she left, a somber Giulia returned to her duty station, to ponder about her thoughts and feelings.
Weeks later, within an ONI facility on Earth, Giulia and the Gamma Spartans were informed that Ryne's injuries were long-term, and were going to take time for him to recuperate. Due to Giulia's request for transfer going through, Fireteam DISCIPLE was disbanded, with the Gammas being formed into a Headhunter team for the Asymmetrical Action Group. Giulia was transferred out of the Group, and into the newly-formed UNSC Spartan Operations, to help train and lead the incoming SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers that were make up this newest branch of the United Nations Space Command. Giulia gave heartfelt goodbyes to the Gammas and Commander Liberatore, thanking them and wishing them well, and that she would do her best to keep in contact with them. Liberatore told Giulia that she valued her not just as a Spartan, but also as a friend. Giulia asked for Liberatore to keep tabs and to take care of Ryne, and if she could update her on his status, which Liberatore obliged. 
====Spartan Branch Service====
In the latter months of 2554, Giulia was assigned to a clandestine orbital facility that was repurposed as a covert training facility for the incoming SPARTAN-IV trainees, where she was made an instructor for them. In the first weeks of her new job, Giulia tried to adjust to her new environment, especially since some S-IV trainees were older or more experienced than her, and struggled to teach and instruct them. It took time, but Giulia was able to find teaching methods that resonated with S-IV trainees, and she earned their respect. Giulia would lead CQC and Hand-to-Hand combat training sessions for the S-IVs, impressing the recruits with her skills and knowledge in that regard. Giulia also provide leadership and guidance towards her trainees, acting as a peacemaker for rivalries and making time for recruits that were struggling with training. She would be an instructor for the remainder of 2554, and most of 2555. The S-IVs would bestow Giulia the nickname of "Green Lightning" for her flashy hand-to-hand combat skills.
Giuilia was also able to enjoy the brief stay in civilian life, due to her position as an instructor. On her furloughs and leaves, Giulia would venture into the a couple of colonies near her station. She found herself mingling with the local populaces and exploring the cities and districts. Giulia tried to live out the experiences she missed in her youth, and tried to understand what life held for her outside of the military. She even managed to take a few trips to Earth to visit her family whenever the opportunity arose. Finding inspiration from her stepfather, Giulia would get involved in underground fighting scene, looking to sharpen and improve on her martial arts. Fighting under an anonymous banner to avoid discovery and reprimand from her superiors, Giulia dominated the fighting circuit whenever she could, and would use her experience in enhancing her teachings when training her recruits. Giulia grew to appreciate this aspect of her life, being able to take a break from her military life. Giulia was glad to know a life outside of being a Spartan, as she experienced new things, met new people, and discover new things about herself.
Even though she enjoyed her time as an instructor, Giulia desired to get back on the field, feeling she was far more useful in the field and didn't want to collect dust as a relic of some bygone era. Giulia filed a request to transfer back to the Headhunters, her previous job prior to her time in the Asymmetrical Action Group. The request was granted, and Giulia, once again, became a Headhunter, operating as a LONEWOLF, a solo operator. From 2556 to the early months of 2558, Giulia was deployed on covert, special operations against the Covenant remnants and human Insurrectionists in deep space. Giulia's missions were focused on Direct Action, Combat Search and Rescue, Hunter-Killer ops, and other unconventional warfare tasks. Despite her status as a solo operator, Giuilia would still be able to provide combat support for other UNSC forces, including other Spartans and other specialized UNSC forces in the field. The Spartan even took part in joint operations with the Swords of Sanghelios, due to the , and befriended several Sangheili warriors such as Dyzo 'Konaree and Tyso 'Lodamee. Giulia would find herself on Sangheili colonies and settlements during some missions, where she learned more about their warrior culture, trained alongside them, and fought with them in combat operations.
====The Created Crisis====
Over a 72-hour period, starting around October 17, 2558, the first of the Guardians, powerful Forerunner constructs, began to emerge from the ground on human colonies. Around this time, Prometheans, mechanized Forerunner Promethean warriors, turned against their former allies within Jul 'Mdama's Covenant. On October 28, Guardians are launched to numerous planets across the galaxy. The Created, led by a rogue AI Cortana, relayed a broadcast to all of the galaxy, inviting humans, Sangheili, Kig-Yar, Unggoy, San'Shyuum, Yonhet, and Jiralhanae to all accept an end to hunger and pain, should they willingly submit themselves to the guardianship of the Created. She made it clear, however, that should any groups choose to defy her, then there would be consuming wrath for them that would remake them in the image of the Created.
=====Crisis Response=====
=====Resistance and Reunion=====
In early 2559, a Point Blank-class Prowler, UNSC Phantom Watch, arrived in Valoruk's system, where it docked and was met by Valoruk's Sangheili Kaidon and Colonel Fuchs. Emerging from the ship and greeting them was ONI Special Operations officer, Commander Adrian Pierson. Commander Pierson was given one special directive from Central Command (CENTCOM), before losing all communications with them after Cortana subjugated Earth. Gathering the remnants of the UNSC Special Operations Forces in his area of operations, Pierson was to form a specialized paramilitary task force that was to wage a guerilla campaign against the Created and other hostile forces, acting as a long-range penetration force that conducted operations such as direct action, intelligence gathering, special reconnaissance, and other unconventional warfare tactics.

Giulia also became quite lethal with the usage of her combat knife, as well. Giulia becomes even more exhilarated and intense when she utilizes such skills when the opportunity arises on the battlefield. However, Giulia recognized that such opportunities for such battles are few and far between. Thus, Giulia has also become adept in the usage of various CQC weapons systems, such as shotguns, submachine guns, and sidearms. Giulia worked well with others during ops, going out of her way to help others regardless of the risk and the orders given to her. 
==Skills and Abilities==
*CQC Specialist: Giulia specializes in close-quarters weapons in the field.
