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
Of all the MacLeod's, Fiona has the biggest sweet tooth. Someday she hopes to become a Connoisseur of Confectionaries and perhaps open her own sweets shop in Kaineng City.

Note from Fi: Well, I've done it. I've traveled across Tyria tasting all the sweets I could find. Along the way I've studied with some of the greatest confectioners and bakers in the land. All along I saved up all my money and prepared for the day I could open my own sweet shop. That day has finally arrived. I've been recognized as a Connoissuer of Confectionaries and, as I promised myself so long ago, I am now opening my own shop. Gil and Bri helped me find a quaint little place in Kaineng Center, just down the way from the Zhao's Runes. I plan to offer sweets just like all the ones I've found throughout Tyria. Fi's Tasty Treats is now open!
