Cortana, Halo Series

Another A.I. character, but this time a benevolent force, Cortana is a SMART program constructed from the flash-cloned brain of Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, who created the super soldier Spartan-II project. She becomes an indispensable ally and close confidant of the Master Chief during Halo and Halo 2, and throughout the games she evolves into a more powerful and human-like being. Although she has no physical form, she's as fearless and dedicated as any Spartan soldier.
Pros: She can control battleships and infiltrate pretty much any security system with the blink of an eye.
Cons: She's entirely virtual and only has a life span of about seven years, plus she may be in the early stages of rampancy.
Should be Played By: Jennifer Love Hewitt, who's got a sweet voice and would look fantastic as a purple-coloured hologram.
