GENERAL/STORY:
Fio (short for Fiolina) is the only daughter of a wealthy Italian family. After she was born, her mother was unable to have any more children, making Fio the first heiress in the history of her family, as she had no older siblings. Throughout the generations, The Germi family have made a tradition of sending their eldest child to the army; Fio upholds this tradition willingly, though she has aspirations of becoming a doctor someday, having studied chiropractics, acupuncture, and moxibustion at college.

Fio is a master sergeant of the Intelligence Agency's S.P.A.R.R.O.W.S, which serves as a special ops group for the government. As with her fellow comrades in Metal Slug 2 and beyond, she had risen through the ranks due to her service against General Morden. Similar to Eri, Fio's pistol appears to be a webley MK VI.

Her first appearance was in SNK's classic 2D sidescrolling shooter, Metal Slug 2. Her first fighting game appearance was in King Of Fighters 2000 as Vanessa's alternate Striker. Her true fighting game debut finally came in KOF2006.

REVIEW:
While it's definitely cool to see SNK crossing over more of their characters from other games into fighting games, having a Metal Slug character with machine guns, grenades, and Molotov cocktails at her disposal just doesn't seem fair... Unfair as it may seem, the classic KOF fighters can still hold their own, they do have their fireballs after all.

Fio is a cool character in her series, but I'm not sure her fighting game debut is anything near "epic"... She's a funny character and all, but I don't think she was really cut out to be a fighting game character.
