Hey there how’s it going?

Hello! It’s good to see you around. I’m currently gearing up to set forth towards Mercury. Ikora’s briefed me on Osiris already. You’ve already touched down on Mercury, haven’t you? Tell me, what’s it like?

4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

When Archon found Fionnuala, she was as disoriented and terrified as every single guardian is when they rise for the first time. Waking after death to a strange voice telling her she needs to move? Not the most peaceful introduction. Fast forward to who knows how much later and she’s flying a rundown spaceship to someplace called the Last City, where she’s supposed to meet this Vanguard. She materializes-transmats, as she’d later learn-down onto the plaza, and suddenly she’s surrounded by countless like her. Guardians. Saviors. Heroes. Experienced warriors who knew exactly what they were doing and why. It’s a little much to take in.

By the time she’s finished and has been given a living space, she’s more miserably exhausted than she thinks she’s likely ever been. Death’s fingers were pried open and she was snatched from between them, stolen from her slumber to be thrust into a last battle cry for humanity at what seemed to be the ending of ages. Whoever she had been before was gone, entirely gone, and now was left a strange, unstable creature who had only her wits and her ghost to fall back on.

Needless to say, the moment was a defining one. Her sleep that night would be the first of many to be plagued by claws and blackness.

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

Fiona dreams often. Most of them are insignificant; fleeting images and dashes of color that don’t connect and are quickly forgotten. Some of them are of her ghost. Some of them are of the Traveler. Some of them are foreign entirely. Her nightmares are quite possibly the most puzzling.

When she first began to truly understand her role as a guardian, she knew nightmares would not be far behind. At first they were the usual–death by Fallen, the Traveler leaves, the Vanguard is slain, etcetera, etcetera. When the Red Legion struck, the restless and fitful few hours of sleep she managed to claim were plagued by Ghaul and the ugly visage of the Consul with his swinging necklace of death. Really the only prominent theme is failure. In each of her nightmares, the death and the loss and the misery is by some direct or indirect fault of hers. She’s used to it by now.

30. What does your character find repulsive or disgusting?

Someone who abandons another for personal gain. She will never allow it to stand.

34. Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?

Fiona is rather inconsistent in her methods of problem solving. She’s a very flexible thinker, and as such diversity in her ways of tackling a problem. In all reality it’s entirely dependent upon the situation. Which is more beneficial? Which is more likely? Is it worth tweaking a second attempt? Is it worth starting from scratch? What brings the most gain? Which is most efficient? Critical thinking is one of her strong points.
