Fiora wiki page
bio under the cut!
Fiora. Taken from right before Mechonis Core.
Previously Homs, currently Machina. Party DPS that functions like a tank. Age 18.
Bodysharing with the Machina goddess, Meyneth.
Dunban pushes the mechon back at the cost of his right arm, because the Monado is picky about its wielder and Dunban was, at best, a delivery boy. Regardless! Things settle back into a shaky kind of peace for a year, but then the mechon attack once again, this time with a secret weapon that even the Monado can’t destroy. With her friends and her brother backed into a corner, Fiora attempts to 1v1 the giant mechon with her own non-sentient robot that she’s just piloting. It goes fine, and then it goes bad.
Fiora dies.
Fiora doesn’t stay dead.
Taken by the Machina—the true people of the Mechonis—Fiora’s body is used as a vessel to host their long-sleeping god, Meyneth, who has just been woken up for this express purpose: Being put into the body of the friend of the boy who wields the Monado (that’s Shulk). Fiora is aware of what happens next—aware but unable to interact, screaming but unable to be heard, all as Meyneth pilots her body about Mechonis in several attempts to talk to Zanza, then Shulk, and then… Well, and then Egil’s a bastard and overrides both Fiora’s and Meyneth’s control of their mech and they almost kill Shulk. Not fun.
Meyneth is able to resist, though, and Meyneth is able to save Shulk and his friends—and then Fiora wakes up, for real, in Shulk’s arms, completely and totally in control of her body. Meyneth is asleep but… Fiora’s feelings there aren’t fully complicated. She’s certain Meyneth didn’t wish her any harm.
She reunites with Dunban. She reunites with Reyn. She meets the rest of Shulk’s new friends… and then they put together their plan, to help the Machina stop Egil, because they are tired of this cycle of revenge between Mechonis and Bionis, and Egil is taking it too far.
It’s right at the door to fighting Egil that Fiora (and Shulk) have been yanked into DYWC, which all of Alvis’ siblings think was a weird decision but Alvis refuses to be budged on. Fiora’s indifferent, just confused. Meyneth’s trust in Alvis helps her not worry too much, though.

OUTSIDE DYWC.
Fiora spends most of this off screen, where she meets with Kairi and Kano and idly gets to know them while they wait around until the rest of their team shows up. At this point she learns Alvis has apparently been Meyneth's son this entire time and that Meyneth has been keeping secrets from her and Fiora is extremely determined to get some of those secrets out in the open, at least the secrets that concern people she knows!⇢ in which two teenagers bully a goddess
Kairi and Kano ask Meyneth some questions. Fiora's just here for the ride.
Before Meyneth was a god, she was human, and she witnessed the earth’s final moments. She may not ever forget said final moments of the earth, but the rest of those memories are millennia behind her, and she cannot say she remembers them well.
Her existence, however, is tied to Zanza—whether she wishes it or not (and unfortunately, for a long time, she never wished for anything more)—as well as to Alvis, her son, the embodiment of her power. And the two of them—the three of them—were trapped in an endless cycle of creation, and destruction, and creation, and destruction… for longer than Meyneth can really put words to.
And here they are, at the final cycle. Fiora’s body is taken by the Machina to be used as Meyneth’s vessel, who has been woken from a sleep thousands of years long for this express purpose. Fiora was specifically chosen because she was so close to Shulk, the wielder of the Monado, Zanza’s vessel. Fiora wasn’t supposed to be still alive in there, she was meant to be a husk for Meyneth to fill, but well, things don’t work out like that.
Meyneth and Zanza have their disagreements, as they have had for millennia, as they will have until they both die. Fiora wakes up. Meyneth realizes she meant to steal a body, and not a girl’s life, and protects Shulk when Fiora can’t, and then lets go of the reins so Fiora can have them again. She will wake when she is needed, but otherwise she will sleep, and let Fiora live her life.
She has her concerns about Shulk, and a beef to settle with Zanza, but those she can take care of on her own time. It’s Fiora’s body. She gets first and final say.
What exactly Alvis is doing, yanking herself and Fiora—along with Shulk, still housing Zanza—to another universe, Meyneth doesn’t understand, but she trusts her son.
