I work at a multi-location company, on a project involving people from different offices. I had a co-worker at an other location who worked on the same project as me for a few months. Recently she was fired (I don't know any details, but it was quite abrupt). A few weeks later she approached me because she was up for a job interview and she needs references from previous employments. I'd like to help her, so I gave her permission to use my contact information for reference. I don't expect the prospective employee to actually contact me, but in any case - shall I mention to the prospective employee that she was actively fired, not simply "being redundant"? She wasn't that bad for her job (I've seen worse and lot worse), but wasn't particularly good either and was pretty high-maintenance, bordering on annoyance (but this was partly due to the project setup) - shall I recommend her and stress the positives, be as diplomatic as I can and avoid the negative stuff, or be blunt (deep down inside I feel I wouldn't want to work with her in the future)?
