So I recall reading a while back about a female Spartan II who failed the augmentation process for the II’s, but successfully became a Spartan IV. Does anyone here know what the hell I am talking about? Because as much as I google it, I can’t find anything and at this point I just need to know I’m not crazy.
I can’t recall anything like that off the top of my head. Could you be thinking of Musa-096 who washed out from the SII program but went on to become the main architect of the Spartan-IV program? Waypoint also mentions how some SIIs trained IVs but I think that’s the extent of their participation in the program. Could be wrong.

I believe this is it. I would also like to think that because of the difference in technique and process, anyone who had undergone the S-II augmentation, even having failed, would be incapable of receiving the S-IV augmentation. (Even though the S-IV aug is lighter and more flexible with its candidate pool and success range, I would think the S-II aug would be extremely damaging regardless of success.)

Honestly this could possibly be it. I found it really, really late at night so maybe i misunderstood, or possibly even dreamed it. I just remember thinking the concept was really cool but im starting to doubt myself that it exists

It doesn’t exist. Period. You’ve simply mixed elements of Maria-062, Cassandra-075, Musa-096 and Ilsa Zane into an imagined character.
no…
that’s not even how the spartan generations work.
a II can’t become a IV, similar to how a II can’t become a III, or a III become a IV. first of all, while this supposed individual supposedly failed the augmentations, they still would have had considerable amount of changes done to their body that could not be scaled back. there’s also more to the generations than the augmentations. other factors like: how and when they were enlisted, where they were trained, level of training, compatible armor, and how the spartans are used.
To answer your question straight forward: no a Spartan II cannot become a Spartan IV. It doesn’t work that way. Spartan II’s can however become part of the Spartan IV program. Most of the surviving SII’s and SIII’s were integrated into the Spartan branch along with all the Spartan IVs.
To add some clarification to points made above: Some Spartan II washouts became instructors for the Spartan III program under Kurt Ambrose. It was noted, I think in Ghosts of Onyx, that the Spartan II washout instructors were especially rough on the Spartan III candidates. For the Spartan IV’s, some SII’s and SIII’s (like Tom and Lucy) became trainers for the Spartan IVs over the years.
There were a number of SII who failed the augmentations but became chairmans of different programs (a couple revolving SIVs). I don’t recall any II becoming a IV though? Sounds weird even typing it out.
No, the closest I can think of is Musa who failed the Spartan-II Augmentation process but later became the founder and commander for the Spartan-IVs.
