Heroine of Reversal, Fiona starts as Raul's [[Distaff Counterpart]], meaning her story's the same as Raul in Reversal, but they cannot coexist together...except she's not into [[Girls Love]] and has a steady relationship with Raji, where she thinks her status as a test pilot hinders his research with the Time Flow Engine. Original Generation turns her into [[Half-Identical Twins|younger twin sister]] and unlike Raul who [[Straight Man|takes his business seriously]], Fiona's [[The Tease|much more laid back and teasing]] and likes to remind Raul she's his younger sister, despite him claiming it shouldn't make any difference, since they're... well, you know... twins.

Her story starts out the same as Raul in ''Original Generations'', but after being thrown into the dimensional gate, Fiona vanishes and isn't seen again for an entire game. Come ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when the clash between the Compatible Kaiser's Overgate Engine and the G Thundergate opens up a wormhole, out pops Fiona, starving and still injured from taking the attack meant for Raul by Duminuss. Thanks to the interference of {{spoiler|Axel and [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2/Characters|Einst Alfimi]]}}, Raul hauls her for medical attention aboard the Kurogane. After being caught up with the fact she'sin an [[Alternate Dimension]] and learning Raji and Mizuho are kidnapped by Duminuss, Fiona takes to the battlefield to assault Duminuss and continue to be at her brother's side. With Duminuss defeated, Fiona dismantles her Excellence, agreeing the Time Flow Engine is still yet an unstable piece of technology, and opens the "L&E Corporation" (named by her after the Lightning and Eternal frames) with Raul as another test pilot for Mizuho, although Dr. Marion Radom states she wants to build something for Fiona that's better than the Excellence.

She starts with the same Excellence machine like Raul, however her final upgrade is the much more feminime Excellence "Eternal". Fiona embodies these tropes (some of them are shared with Raul, though):
