General
Fiona is the middle sister of Moira and Briana. Scott is her older brother. She has a pet Black Moa named Spike who became her companion when she removed a stone from between two of his talons. She generally goes by the shortened nickname of Fi. (OOC: Fiona is a Gealic word meaning either "white" or "wine", depending on the pronunciation. This name was invented in the 16th century by Scottish writer James MacPherson. It is mentioned once in his Ossianic poems, in Fingal- Book 1. However, it is only mentioned once in passing. It was brought into the public spotlight in the 19th century by Scottish author William Sharp, who used "Fiona McLeod" as his pen name. The name probably represents a Latinate feminization of Fionn, meaning "white." However, the word fiona in Gaelic means "wine." It is pronounced FEE uh na, though, not like the name, which is generally pronounced fee-OH-na.)) (meaning from www.namenerds.com).

Titles
