Fio Germi



"Fio Germi was born from a wealthy Italian family. Maybe if this war wouldn't happen, then she would've been a sports doctor by then, yet it was terrible when Mrs. Fiolina told me that we're getting a really big problem in here since World War III came up on the horizon."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Germi

Fiolina "Fio" Germi is one of the main protagonists in the Metal Slug series. She made her debut in Metal Slug 2.

Fio is the only daughter of a wealthy Italian family. The Germi family was historically a military family, so of course Fio's father wished for the first child to be a strong son. However, following a difficult birth, her mother became unable to bear additional children. This was the first time in Germi history that the family had a female heir. Due to family tradition, she was required to become a soldier, so she was made to join the Government Forces. The complete opposite of Eri, Fio was raised by loving parents and possesses a quiet demeanor. She studied chiropractics and acupunture in university and is thinking of becoming a sports doctor in the future.

For a seasoned warrior, on occasion Fio will display an almost childlike naivete and exuberance. Her victory pose is a pure example, another example is her that her favorite metal slug vehicle, is the donkey, leaving the other members of the team thinking less of her, though she is a tough independent woman when it comes to her fierce battling, the soldiers always laugh until they are shot down by her mechanical donkey.
