The Humble, Caring Shopkeeper From Down Under(well)

Coming from the East—specifically the settlement of Underwell, Fie has lived a life mostly secluded from the corporate sprawl of Diamond City, knowing neighborliness and close-knit relationships built on kindness, trust, and support in order to live in a world where robots have mostly taken over. As a teenager she would learn from her father of the Walls and lands out to the West, filled with robots, danger, and Knights fighting to protect what’s left of humanity and destroy the machines. He would tell her stories of them, legends and glimpses of the world beyond what she knew. Therefore, she made it a mission of hers to become a Knight one day. However, after an accident during training that left her in the hospital for several months, it was determined that her career as a Knight was over before it began. You’d think she’d be heartbroken, and she was... but she was also even more determined to help out in any way she could. Therefore, she took a train, then the elevator down to the Outer Wall, where she began from scratch. She gained resources, had the support of her family, and using her credits she opened up a quaint ramen bar in the middle of the Outer Wall, right along the route most Knights took to get to the elevators to Yaramo Transit, fighting off the occasional robot using the skills that haven’t filled from her training, in order to provide them with hot meals soaked with love from Underwell, aptly naming the establishment:

Your Forever Supporter—Knight’s Last Contact

Fie is likely the last piece of human life a Knight will see in the Walls before going deeper. She easily forms bonds with many people that pass by. Usually only one Knight comes at a time, typically because the Walls are so vast and the Knights don’t come often, allowing her to have deeply personal connections to each one. Not all come back, which deeply saddens her, but those that do she makes sure to never forget. She is the one who will wish all Knights good luck on their journeys, as they’re only just getting started.

She is kind and caring to all she meets, friendly to all who come across, and eager to cook and provide for all who have a seat, whether weary or just getting started. She is also determined to help everyone she comes across however she can, although she is usually quite clumsy and shy, she makes sure to show kindness and warmth toward everyone. In the end, she represents her culture in a way that most in and even out of the Walls simply can’t—duplicate the neighborliness and kindness in human form. However, she can be quite nervous and shy around people she hasn’t grown too close to, and even around friends, typically out of her desire to please. She doesn’t have the greatest understanding of corporate ethics or Mo-Co products, making delicious food through traditional means, supplying everything either through careful scavenging of similar restaurants now abandoned and being sent to her by Underwell.

“Good Luck”

She is a Caretaker of the Walls’ wanderers and travellers.

Fie has the appearance of a friendly-next-door neighbor who just so happens to cook very good ramen. Her hair is medium length, messy and a creamy, light orange-brown, tied into a half-up, short fluffy tail, with the rest of her hair either parted to the left, covering her left eye, or flowing down her right side till the collarbone. Her skin is pale, her eyes a pale blue and somewhat small, all the while she is somewhat tall. She wears a simple black tank top, black tights and sneakers, and a red hoodie with white stripes on the sleeves worn off of the shoulders.

...and she’ll do so by being the most comfy in the world, despite the robots.
