Fiona Fox Rewrite 2 (Auto-Fiona)

Published:

Description

So, Fiona Fox. Friends alike have discussed for years on how badly they screwed up her character. How Ian Flynn sat down, went "My recolour (Scourge) needs a super evil hot girlfriend" and butchered what was a genuinely promising character into mindless, spineless fanfiction material. Actually, fuck that, even fanfiction material-level females are more intelligent than what they call FINO (Fiona In Name Only). And everyone that uses the character either uses the pre-Flynn Fiona or find a way to rewrite FINO's character (better motives, better personality, redeeming herself and so on). But the fact is that if you have to do something like that, chances are the character was beyond saving to begin with. Which, sadly, counts for a lot of modern Sonic characters, especially when it comes to alternative media.

So, some time ago, I decided to rewrite her from the ground up. And I won't show you the result, because...well, it wasn't the best. I kind of turned my characters into Fixer-Sues (which, incidentally, I didn't actually know existed) and generally made a total cock-up of it all. So, taking advice from feedback, I tried again. And I think I've managed to come up with something...better. And also something that is based off another of my currently on-hiatus stories, The Reborn. I'll provide a link at the end of this so you can see what I'm talking about;

NAME
Full Name: Fiona Fox
Nicknames: Auto-Fiona
Preferred Name: Auto-Fiona, or just Fiona

BODY
Age: 15
Height: 3,7ft
Weight: Unknown
Gender: Female
Species: Fox/Robot
Fur Colour: Red/Dark Red
Eye Colour: Light Blue

PERSONALITY
Overall:
Auto-Fiona can almost be said to have a split personality; when around Tails (and ONLY Tails), her behavouir is quite friendly, if impolite. She spends her time around Tails generally playfully messing with his work, playing with Tails himself, discussing ideals from both parties and possible enhancements for her robotic parts and generally keeping a close relationship. With anyone else, she is incredibly cold and rude, barely taking in their words and commands and generally acting for herself and Tails.
Personal Problems: As noted, Auto-Fiona is cold and outright hates a good portion of the Freedom Fighters (although this time because she resents them for doing little to stop her getting captured by Scourge rather than because Scourge told her to) and Sonic in particular (having a theory that he only keeps people like Eggman around so he doesn't have to face the facts of what a truly worthless being he is). She cares little for them and on several occasions has only saved them because Tails has pleaded her to do so.
Personal Goals: To recover her organic parts in some manner (or at the very least go full mechanical), rid the world of Eggman and Fintivius and find a secluded place to live her life with Tails.
Likes:
-Miles "Tails" Prower
-Rotor
-Playing around and annoying people
Dislikes:
-Scourge
-The Surpression Squad
-Sonic
Fears: Fiona has no real fears, though she is quite unable to put herself in true harms way if it involves explosions (what almost killed her last time)
Beserk Buttons: And perhaps the best way to make her attack you is simply to state that she was better off with Scourge or dead. Calling her a hybrid or a freak works just as well.

ABILITIES
Powers: N/A
Strengths:
-Very durable - Fiona's mechanical componenets are made of a custom designed alloy designed to be, while not imprenitable, fireproof and waterproof. This allows Fiona to tank much more damage than anyone else on her team.
-Easily Repaired - Despite this, her robotic parts are very easily replaced and repaired, so long as Tails is on hand and near a set of tools.
Weaknesses:
-Easily Tricked - Her heightened emotional state, no doubt caused by her stress and grief of being a half-dead andoid, often causes her to be easily maniuplated, especially is Scourge is mentioned at any point.
-Quite Slow - Fiona has no special powers of her own, with only her Gadgets helping her along. But because both of those function on a charge, Auto-Fiona is unskilled but strong, often meaning her brute force can be beaten with enough finesse.
Gadgets:
-Flamethrower - Auto-Fiona's mechanical arm has a weapon built into it. The first is a flamethrower located within the lower arm riegon. However, due to the commands of Sally, the flamethrower has been disabled for the time being due to it being deemed dangerous to the Freedom Fighters (hence the duct tape).
-Bladed Arm Joint - The second weapon, which has not been disabled, is a blade that is designed to attach to Fiona's arm. It is retractable and allows Fiona to still graps another weapon (say, a firearm) while using the blade itself.

BIO:
Backstory:

-For most of her early life, she followed the same life as Fiona. That is, she was kept in one of Eggman's camps for conversion, but saved at the last second by Sonic, managing to escape and meet up with him years later. From there she became a junior Freedom Fighter, fighting alongside her savoir on a few missions. It was also around this time that she met a certain fox genius called Tails, beginning to strike up a small and awkward relationship with him. Sadly, it was also around this time that she witnessed the rise of what would eventually be known as Scourge, who was in need of a few new members for his own group. Despite his best (read; pathetic) attempts to convince her, Fiona refused and attacked him. She was unable to overpower him, however, and Scourge resorted to outright brainwashing her to get her to join his side.
-From there, she travelled the world with him and his group, causing destruction and chaos wherever they went. Just to rub salt in the wound, he also had her slap and insult Tails, going as far as saying Scourge was better than him in every way. This was, of course, an absolute farce and Scourge would happily take his anger out on her, violently if need be. It all culminated when Scourge's base of operations was under attack from the Freedom Fighters, having been set up by a supposed ally; he set the base to blow, making his escape by using Fiona as a meat shield. Then, upon reaching the exit, he threw the battered and shot fox into the base just as it went up. By the time Sonic and others had managed to find her, she was heavily mutilated on one side and close to death. Only Scourge and Fiona survived the explosion; all other members of his group died in the fire.
-However, rather than let her die, Tails proposed to rebuild her, making her a valuable asset to taking down the reigning Eggman. With the help of Rotor and some brand new alloys, Tails rebult Fiona's damaged parts and made her equally damaged brain half mechanical, programming the brainwashing away and restoring her original personality (to an extent). After the several months of grief and angry training, she finally caught up with Scourge, killing him by dismembering, gutting and hanging him, avenging her betrayal and all those months of suffering.

RELATIONSHIPS
Lover: Miles "Tails" Prower
Friends:
-Rotor Walrus (helped restore her)
Enemies:
-Eggman (general enemy)
-Scourge (hates, killed in cold blood)
Neutral:
-Sally Acorn (hates her guts, but has to work alongside her)
-Sonic the Hedgehog (hates his guts too)
Family:
-Unknown mother and father, perished quite some time ago

And there you go. I kinda hope I did alright. Oh well. Only time will. It's not like I can't go back and edit any of this, anyway. Enjoy!

Oh yes, and that link to The Reborn: www.fanfiction.net/s/10442642/…

EDIT (20/10/15): Updated the image, fixing issues and redrawing parts using further feedback as a guideline. I think it looks a bit better, but I still need to work on it...

My only question is "Is this the Auto-Fiona from the comics and the real Fiona isn't with them, or is this some weird hybrid of both of their stories?"
