==Biography==
===Early childhood===
Yoon Seung-ah was born in Saeloun Seoul, Reynif on August 28, 2537. When she was at the age of five, her father, a by the name of Yoon Hyeon-ki, left the planet to fight , leaving Seung-ah to live only with her mother until the year 2545. While Seung-ah and her mother were enjoying family time in their home city's park, the Covenant invaded Reynif. Seung-ah's mother was killed by Covenant infantry, but not before she ordered her daughter to hide in the park's pavilion building.
Several hours later, Seung-ah was found by Dom-094, Sergeant Thomas Prado, and Lance Corporal Kylie Summers, who were also stranded in Saeloun Seoul. The SPARTAN called for evac, but a arrived at the park before any transport could, and deployed . Dom-094 told Summers to take Seung-ah deeper into the building, while he and Prado would fight the elites. The SPARTAN was able to kill all six zealots, but suffered burns from a few plasma bolts. Prado, unfortunately, did not survive the attack. A arrived soon after to pick up Reynif's last known survivors. Reynif was ultimately overrun, and subsequently .
===Becoming a Spartan===
Seung-ah was conscripted as part of the . She was trained by , , and and on . During the training, she was assigned to Team Dao, along with Henry-G066, Jim-G067, Jack-G068, and April-G182. Seung-ah was clumsier than the other trainees, and her combat performance relative to her peers never got much better.
Ambrose, however, noticed Seung-ah's ability to inspire strength in even the most pessimistic of allies, and assigned veteran to train her to become a battlefield medic. Both Seung-ah's natural empathy and the skills she learned from her corpsmen instructors would prove to be valuable assets to any allied troops in her presence.The events described here take place in the Platinum Annals Universe. In the Onyx Chronicles, it is Aspen-B145 instead who takes notice to Seung-ah-G218's personality and personally seeks her out to train her as a medic. Two weeks after the , Team Dao was told that April suffered complications from the enhancements and could therefore no longer join them as a fellow Spartan.
===Battle of Paradiso===
The Human-Covenant War left many civilians homeless. Paradiso was one of the newly-discovered habitable planets suitable for refugees. In the year 2556, Seung-ah-G218, along with Henry-G066 and Jim-G067, was sent to the planet with a set of refugees to ensure their safety from potential insurrectionist or Covenant attacks. They arrived on November 20, where they met up with Dom-094, who was already on Paradiso to watch over the first set of refugees.
Just three days after the SPARTAN-IIIs' arrival, a small fleet of Covenant Loyalists led by attacked the colony. The combination of the SPARTANs and a greater number of UNSC Army and Marine ground forces annihilated the Covenant ground forces. However, the brutes were able to successfully raid a camp that was not well-guarded, kidnapping none other than Seung-ah's very own father – Captain Yoon, his surviving men, and the civilians at the camp. The battle in space was also in the UNSC's favor, thanks to the UNSC's greater number of vessels compared to that of the Covenant, forcing the latter's remaining ship, a single , to retreat.
The crew aboard the UNSC Frigg was able to track down the Covenant ship and its destination – a world controlled by a relatively small number of Covenant loyalist remnants. Alexey Surkov ordered the Frigg and the majority of the Paradiso fleet to pursue in order to finish off the loyalist remnants and rescue the missing humans.
===Battle of Beimeni===
Upon arriving at the planet the Covenant escaped to, Surkov's fleet faced another battlecruiser, with the escaping battlecruiser nowhere to be found. Shortly after the UNSC's arrival, the missing battlecruiser emerged from the planet's atmosphere, indicating that it had likely deployed its prisoners at the planet's surface. Surkov ordered the SPARTANs and a division of infantry to search for and rescue the captured humans.
The Frigg's AI, Nótt, located the of the captured Marines, and the UNSC ground forces subsequently rushed to the location, which was a Forerunner tower. With the Spartans, led by Dom-094, spearheading the operation, the UNSC forces made their way to the prisoners, killing any enemy that stood in their way. Just before the SPARTANs could reach the prisoners, they arrived at the tower's control room, where Tisamenus, the leading the Covenant forces, waited for them
The chieftain mocked the Spartans by telling them he had already killed one of their kind, even pointing to her armor he had on display in the room. Dom-094, immediately recognizing the armor belonging to Annie-003, nonchalantly ordered Henry-G066 and Jim-G067 to unload weapons on Tisamenus. Dom-094 and the two other male SPARTANs, equipped with weapons, obliterated the chieftain long before he could reach them with his .
Among the chieftain's charred remains, Jim-G067 recovered his weapon, a . With their biggest threat eliminated, the Spartans proceeded to free the prisoners. Just before leaving the control room, Dom-094 activated the of Annie-003's armor, demolishing pursuing Covenant forces and honoring his deceased former leader. The UNSC forces escorted the civilians to the nearest extraction with Jim-G067 in front, plowing through brutes and with his new weapon. Once all UNSC forces evacuated the planet, Surkov ordered the orbital bombardment of the Covenant bases on the surface.

Shortly after the , Seung-ah would also take a course on explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) in order to improve her ability to save lives.

Seung-ah considered April-G182 to be her best girl friend and was saddened when the latter was withdrawn from the team, knowing that she will likely never see her again.

==Trivia==
*Seung-ah-G218's physical appearance is modeled after that of the singer and actress Yoona.
*Seung-ah coincidentally shares her name with the actress Yoon Seung-ah, as Hyper Zergling had no knowledge of the actress upon the creation of this character.
*Seung-ah-G218 shares the same numerals in her tag as her former teammate April-G182. This is entirely coincidental, as Hyper Zergling came up with the number 182 completely out of random and was not thinking of Seung-ah-G218's tag during his creation of April-G182.
*An alternate-timeline version of Seung-ah-G218 exists in the Onyx Chronicles, which possesses continuity conflicts with the Platinum Annals Universe that Seung-ah-G218 officially resides in.
