Edge just wrote up a very good piece on Cortana exploring her humanity, It's pretty fantastic you guys should check i out.


In Halo 4’s closing moments, Master Chief, in the grip of honest grief, apologises to Cortana, revealing the truth that it was her that he wanted to save over the world: “It was my job to take care of you.” Cortana replies, in a hoarse whisper: “We were supposed to take care of each other. And we did.” In this moment it becomes clear that Halo is a love story without romance. Using the last of her strength, Cortana projects a hard light version of herself into the scene, allowing genuine contact with Master Chief for the first time in order to say goodbye. And so the thing finally becomes a person.
