Fiona Fox

Fiona Fox was originally one of the many victims of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's rise to power, and as a child she was left in prison, abandoned by Sonic the Hedgehog and other Freedom Fighters, and as a result held a grudge against them, with time developing the more darker traits of her personality. Upon escaping, Fiona led a life of treasure hunting and other petty crimes, until, following Sonic's apparent death, she attempted to turn over a new leaf by joining the Knothole Freedom Fighters, and even began a relationship with Sonic following his return from space. With time, however, Fiona gravitated back towards her old ways, and ultimately decided she prefered the darker side of life. To this end, Fiona fell in love with Sonic's Anti Mobius counterpart Scourge the Hedgehog, becoming his girlfriend, and later Queen of Anti Mobius itself following Scourge's takeover, and became a member of the Suppression Squad.

Imprisonment
As a child, Fiona was one of many captured to serve in Dr. Robotnik's mining camps. Not long after arriving, she and her fellow inmates, Mighty and Ray, caused an uprising that was quicky stopped by the robots guarding the camp. While Mighty and Ray were locked up in isolation, Fiona was taken away for another purpose. Not much later, Sonic (looking into the camp as one of his early Freedom Fighting missions) arrived and freed both Mighty and Ray. The three then set off to rescue Fiona. However, while attempting to disable the device she was connected to, Sonic, Mighty and Ray temporarily disappeared from the lab, apparently due to the device's power source, a mined Power Gem. They reappeared almost instantly, but Ray was no longer with them. Upset, Mighty began to destroy the lab, causing Robotnik to flee the camp. (KtE: #26, #27)

As it turned out however, it was not a total loss for the despot, as he managed to take Fiona with him during his escape. She was later used as the basis for one of Robotnik's many robotic replicas designed to infiltrate the Freedom Fighters. Soon after creating the False Fiona, Robotnik left the original in a cell to die. (StH: #28, #29)

Escape
After a long period of imprisonment, Fiona realised that, like at the lab, no one would rescue her, and thus she became determined to do so herself. Through long, gruelling attempts she managed to dig an escape tunnel from her cell, eventually reaching freedom outside. The first person she encountered was Nic the Weasel, and the two teamed up. (KtE: #26)

Treasure Hunter
With Nic, and later Bean and Bark, Fiona became involved in many dubious activities. She and Nic both became involved in treasure hunting and theivery, which soon resulted in a rivalry with Rouge the Bat. Along with Bean and Bark, Fiona also suffered defeat in underground fighting tournaments thanks to the bat. Eventually she and Nic returned to the mining camp to see if they could find anymore Power Gems; unfortunately, the lab door was locked and neither could open it. (StH: #165)

Despite that Fiona was still somewhat embittered by their past encounter, Nic decided to gain Mighty's assistance. While exploring the camp, they discovered several unused robotic replicas of the Freedom Fighters. Eventually they reached the door, and Mighty forced it open. Inside they indeed found a Power Gem - as well as Ray, who had apparently been stuck in a form of suspended animation by the gem. Despite herself, Nic destroyed the gem (and thus any profit she and Fiona would have gained) in order to free Ray. (KtE: #27)

Freedom Fighter
Sometime after Sonic's apparent death due to the Quantum Dial, Fiona joined the Freedom Fighters. She acted in a general capacity, showing both computer and medical skills. When Bean and Bark attacked Freedom HQ and it was obvious that they knew Fiona, shades of her past were revealed and, despite her assistance in stopping the attack, seeds of doubt were planted among the minds of the Freedom Fighters. When the Chaotix needed info on Rouge, Fiona reluctantly explained her past encounters with the bat, as well as her past involvements in crime. Sonic continued to support Fiona, but eventually it became more and more obvious that something was going on, as Fiona developed a tendancy to disappear and skip missions. (StH: #125, #160, #165, #171)

Betrayal
During the time when Rouge was in Knothole, Sleuth Doggy Dogg appeared, looking for her on behalf of Dr. Finitevus. He held Tails and Fiona hostage while Sonic battled Scourge the Hedgehog. During it all, Fiona called Sleuth a traitor; he replied that she was one herself. Scourge also taunted Sonic for hanging out with "his" girlfriend. A compromise was reached; Sleuth would leave Rouge alone if the Warp Ring she had stolen was returned. Sonic returned the ring; however, it became apparent that between Sleuth and Fiona, Tails had learned a horrible secret. Because of his conflicted feelings between Fiona and Sonic, he did not tell the latter what he had learned. (StH: #165)

Eventually his guilt caught up with him and he confided in Amy Rose; Fiona had been cheating on Sonic with Scourge, Sonic's evil self from an alternate dimension, over the course of their entire relationship. Amy, enraged that anyone would betray Sonic's heart, sought out and attacked Fiona. While dodging blows, Fiona feinged confusion, though briefly slipped in a smug grin and told Amy no one would believe her anyway. To the surprise of both, Sonic casually butted in and told Fiona he wanted to talk. As they walked, he confronted her about lying and her disappearences. She became indignant, but all was soon explained when Scourge showed up; Fiona was in love with the evil hedgehog. When Evil Sonic had infiltrated Knothole Village, he had hit on several of the girls there, including Fiona, before being ousted. Fiona, having realised that she'd fallen for a fake, tried to find the same the same attraction in the real Sonic and thus began to date him. Unfortunately, she found him too "vanilla" for her tastes; she preferred Scourge's dark side and began to sneak off with him. (StH: #150, #172)

Finally exposed, she decided she no longer cared to keep up the charade or act as a Freedom Fighter. Tails suddenly intervened, begging her not to do so and appealing to her good nature. She gently told him that despite his intellect, he didn't realise one thing - "you can't count on anybody." She then slapped him across the face. Sonic, enraged at her cruelty, protested, and Fiona cited his abandonment of her, back in the mining camp, as an example. Shortly after she and Scourge then escaped via Warp Ring. (StH: #172)

Working for Dr. Finitevus
Fiona reappeared not too long afterwards, sporting a new look and taking up a role as one of Dr. Finitevus' agents. Together with Scourge, she came bearing bad news: not only had the Dingo Regime decided to attack Echidnaopolis, but the warring factions of the Dark Legion under Lien-Da and Remington had put aside their conflict to stop Finitevus' plans to resurrect Enerjak, the arch-nemesis of Knuckles the Echidna. While Finitevus left to complete his work, Scourge sat down to relax while Fiona bristled at the situation, clearly disliking the albino Echidna as much as Rouge had in her brief time in the doctor's service. She didn't have long to complain, however, before the new Enerjak made his awe-inspiring debut right in front of her and Scourge. Fiona played a part in the recreation of this awesome figure, as she and Scourge had worked with the other Destructix to knock out Knuckles the Echidna when he returned to Angel Island, and delivered him to Dr. Finitevus whose plans finally came together to make a new Enerjak out of the original's greatest foe. (StH: #181)

While Enerjak started his campaign against the elements of Mobius he had decided to eliminate, Fiona and the other Destructix were sent by Dr. Finitevus to guard a weapon that had been built by the Brotherhood of Guardians as a precaution against Enerjak's return. She and her allies would soon be forced to defend it from Knuckles' father Locke, Sonic, and Julie-Su. Though the battle was intense-not to mention an opportunity for Fiona to point out that Sonic and his allies had often beaten their foes either because of superior numbers or because their enemies had been ordered to lose-it ended quite abruptly when Sonic destroyed the weapon and the Destructix left, not sure of what to do next. The battle between Super Sonic and Enerjak decided for them, and Fiona left Mobius in Scourge's company as the green Hedgehog set out to find his true self, while the Destructix fled through a different Warp Ring.

The Suppression Squad
The Warp Ring in question brought the couple to Anti-Mobius, Scourge's home dimension, where Scourge, Sonic's words having shocked him with the prospect that they truely weren't so different, invaded his homeworld, determined to re-make and set everything on his world apart from Mobius Prime. Scourge succeeded in taking over in a matter of days, and made himself King of the planet, and went so far as to make Fiona herself his Queen, and second in command of the Suppression Squad. Fiona did her duties well, only being contested by Princess Alicia Acorn, who was the original heir to the throne before Scourge's takeover. Under Fiona's supervision, the Squad repair a pair of stolen Globe Posts and used them to launch a successful invasion of Freedom HQ. (StH: #183, #184, #188, #190)

Personality
While Fiona originally seemed concerned with the well being of others and willing to commit to the cause of the Freedom Fighters, it was eventually discovered Fiona harboured a long grudge against Sonic and those who act selflessly, as a result of her being left behind in Robotnik's prison camp. Fiona believes that to look out for anyone but yourself is foolish and survival of the fittest is the only way to live. (StH: #172)

Romance
After witnessing what everyone believed was Sonic sacrificing his life to save Mobius from the Xorda attack, Fiona believed her long-standing resentment about Sonic was unfounded. After Sonic returned from outer space and his break up with Sally Acorn, Fiona found herself growing closer to Sonic emotionally. She became romantically attached to Scourge the Hedgehog while he was impersonating Sonic in the prime zone, but once this was discovered, she attempted to find the same attraction within the prime realty's version. After realizing Scourge's selfish and brash attitude appealed to her more, and that Sonic had none of these qualities, Fiona finally revealed that she was in love with Scourge, and broke up with Sonic. Scourge and Fiona's relationship became stronger with time, as Scourge, giving up his womanizing ways, stayed loyal to her even when it would have been more profitable to save his own skin, and their relationship is almost a twin to that of Sonic's and Sally's-though of course with the differences that come with their personalities. Following their arrival on Anti Mobius, and their invasion, the two consumnated their relationship, and Fiona became his Queen. (StH: #150, #172, #190)
