Arlene Sanders

Private First-Class Arlene Sanders is from the Doom novels, and is the best-friend and love interest of Flynn_Taggart.

Also a member of Fox Company, Arlene is the Fox Company's best scout, and one of the few people that Fly truly trusts. Like Fly, Arlene gets caught up in the invasion of Phobos and Deimos. Unlike Fly, she uses her scout training to sneak around, and leaves waypoints of sorts, in the form of Arrows marked A.S. Despite Fly's interests in Arlene, she is with another man. When they become attacked by the invading forces, she asks Fly to make a pact: If her lover is now a zombie, he be the one to take her out.

Despite the pact made, Fly hesitates to decimate her former-lover, leaving her to finish the job. This is a relief for Fly, because they both knew if he had been the one to take him down, it would have created a gap between the two of them. Despite her smaller lithe frame, Arlene is nearly, if not as strong as Fly himself. While she is a better thinker than Fly, she doesn't have the same cool head that he does.

Arlene has/had a brother, whom was easily swayed. Because of this, she felt the Mormons (whom she deems a cult) had taken advantage of his "weak-mind." To recover her brother, she had gone undercover, and tried to rescue him. Arlene is one of only two characters who makes appearances in all four Doom novels.

The character by the name of "Crash" from Quake III is assumably based upon Arlene Sanders, though this could also be just a coincidence.
