When she does have on her helmet it is the same orange with a yellow visor which covers her entire face. Her face will not be visible if she has the helmet on. When in the Red Base, she will wear casual civvies (loose shirt, shorts) with an orange shirt Backstory: Despised by her leader Sarge, Grif has the lowest social and military rank of both teams since Reconstruction. Although Grif's laziness does create problems for the Reds, Sarge always blames her when things go wrong, regardless of Grif's (or anyone else's) actual guilt in the matter. Physically, a lifetime of smoking and always eating processed snacks has left Grif in the worst shape for a soldier. Despite having different personalities, Simmons and Grif often spend their time together, as both have similar curiosities and ideas. At some point, an alien ambush occurred on the colony Grif was stationed at. Grif only survived the alien attack due to sleeping at her post, making the aliens believe she was already dead. Prior to Blood Gulch, Grif was deployed in a simulation outpost called Danger Canyon under drill sergeant Hammer. After failing to appear on time for a training exercise, Grif encounters a frightened soldier named Simmons while attempting to cross a narrow bridge. Hammer orders them to move but the two refuse. Eventually, the two of them run across after being fired at by their Lieutenant. Because of this incident, Lt. Lieu calls the three of them into his office and, after lecturing them, sends them on a special mission to Timberland to find survivors and gather intel on the enemy. When the three arrive, Hammer attempts to move Simmons and Grif closer to the base, but the two refuse and convince Hammer to leave with them back to base. However, Hammer instead enters the base and is killed by a bomb, leaving Grif and Simmons to return to Danger Canyon and tell everyone that Hammer died a heroic death. Lieu then congratulates Simmons and Grif on their return and, by orders from Butch Flowers, transfers them to Project Freelancer, giving them a place in the Red Army and assigning them to Blood Gulch on a "special mission". In Season 1, Grif is seen conversing with Simmons regarding 'why they are here', in which Grif goes on a long, thoughtful rant, only to be shot down by Simmons' question as to why they are in the canyon. Later, they are called down by Sarge to name their new Warthog and to be informed of a new rookie joining their ranks. When Sarge leaves to receive orders from Command, Grif and Simmons meet the new rookie, Donut. Finding Donut annoying, Grif and Simmons send him off to buy "headlight fluid" and "elbow grease" at the "store". Later, Grif spots Donut with the Blue Team Flag and joins Simmons in rescuing her with the use of the Warthog. They manage to pin down Church and Tucker behind a rock, but are forced to retreat back to base when Caboose and Sheila arrive. As Sheila pins them down, Sarge rescues them via air strike, and the latter blames Grif for the Warthog's destruction. After some time, Grif, Simmons, and Donut, are knocked out by Tex, who regains the Blue Team flag. After Tex is captured, however, the Blues manage to rescue him, after Church possesses Sarge. When Sarge is shot in the head by Caboose, Grif saves her by performing CPR, though Sarge reprimands him due to the illogical use of treatment for a head wound. Afterwards, Tex enforces his second assault on Red Base, with Grif assigned to guard the ramp while Sarge and Simmons try and fend off Tex, though fail. She is later seen watching as Lopez, possessed by Church, goes after the dying Tex. Grif is first seen in Season 2 attacking the Blue Team with her fellow Reds, though her failure to bring extra ammo forces them to try to make the Blues surrender. After some negotiating, the Reds receive a medic, Doc, while Grif publicly embarrasses herself, much to Sarge's amusement. However, when Doc nearly kills Sarge with the Warthog, Grif and Simmons attempt to return him back to the Blues, but only find Church and Tucker in a compromising position. When Doc is rejected, Grif and Simmons leave him in the middle of the canyon. Afterwards, Sarge and Simmons attack Lopez, mistaking her for a Blue, but Simmons becomes injured during the assault. When Sarge decides to turn Simmons into a cyborg, Grif and Donut search for parts they can use, but Sheila quickly approaches them and runs over Grif. Grif, fortunately, survives the hit, due to Sarge transplanting Simmons' leftover organs into her.
