FIONA THE CON ARTIST
“If this is what being a Vault Hunter is like, I think it's what I want to do”
PERSONALITY
Fiona is a talker. A fast talker, a shit-talker, a big talker. She likes telling stories -- sometimes with outrageous embellishments but usually just outright lies -- because they get her in and out of situations with a lot less mess than a gun. Fiona makes her living fooling people, telling stories and selling bogus items with a convincing smile and an easy escape route.
Because she grew up preying on people's trust, Fiona also grew up believing that trust was for chumps: you never know who's going to cheat you or sell you out or put a bullet in your back. It took finding an adoptive family in the midst of a heist -- people for whom she would risk her life -- to learn that trust can be a source of strength, but she's still not really good at it yet.
Fiona has a bit of a daredevil streak, sometimes leaping before she looks (or talking before she thinks); she's largely presented as fearless instead of rash, though it's fair to say there's certain amount of recklessness behind it as well. She makes plans on the fly and they usually work out -- she has a ton of practice doing it, after all, and her ability to guess others' reactions and moves works in her favor.
All this might make her sound like some kind of supreme badass who's dead inside, but she's actually very charming and prone to making light of most situations. Sometimes by being a dick. Being a take-no-shit kind of lady, Fiona calls out dumb stuff when she sees it, and doesn't hold back on voicing her opinions: her mouth is both her weakness and her strength, and shit-talking her only vice. It's a combination of skill and dumb luck that she hasn't gotten shot in the face yet.
HISTORY
Born and raised on the most dangerous planet in the six galaxies, Fiona was orphaned at a young age, at which point she took on the responsibility of raising her little sister, Sasha. They did their best to survive on their own as thieves and pickpockets, eventually coming under the tutelage of a grifter named Felix, who would soon become their adoptive father.
With Felix's mentoring, the sisters soon began running cons both for survival and to reach their eventual end goal: getting the hell off the murderplanet they called home. Opportunity soon came knocking, but Felix betrayed them, leading them to fend for themselves as they were forced into a partnership with unlikely allies, all for the sake of a big lump of cash.
After a lot more betrayal (some of it imagined), things turned out alright in the end. Fiona also finally found a calling in life that wasn't just looking after her sister: becoming a Vault Hunter, a dangerous job full of adventure and rewards. For the first time, she has something to look forward to that isn't just survival.
