## Biography

Fiona was born in 2000 in Scilly as daughter of Ava Bláth of the Tribe of Wexford and Commodore Finnegan Bláth of the Tribe of Wexford, at the time Captain of the Sciath-class Corvette *SDFS Cnoc*. She was around the Navy from very early on, decided to make the Navy her career. She applied for the Naval School in 2009 and was accepted for the 2010 School Year onwards, passing the strict tests with flying colours.

Originally a follower of Tank Sport, Fiona turned to Tankery or Sensha-Do in 2014 and joined the Puisíni upon their foundation, first as driver of a Faolchú Armoured Personnel Carrier, then as a commander. She still follows the Kyrenaian Tank Sport League and is a friend of Pina Tíogar of the Tribe of Wexford, one of the most well-known figure of the Realincse Fánaígh.

In 2017, Fiona became the overall commander of the Team. In the same year, the entire team made a joint holiday trip to the Oileánra-Archipelago, where Fiona, Gwen and Kayla shared a room.

After her graduation in 2019, Fiona joined the Officer's Training Programme of the SDF-Navy, hoping to be able to then to join the Regiment of SDF-Navy Troopers. With the end of the year 2019, she handed off the Captainship and membership of the Puisíni to focus on officer's training.

Fiona made her Year 2 Cruise in 2020 aboard *SDFS Maighdean*. She was promoted to Leading Ensign in 2021.

In 2022, she made her Year 4 Training Cruise aboard *SDFS Cailín*, which went to the Gainimh-Islands. There, the Leading Ensign saw *SDFS Maighdean* again, participated in a number of exercises and enjoyed the few days off, which were granted to crews and cadets before returning home.

In 2025, she will be transferred to the Regiment of SDF-Navy Troopers and its III. Squadron, the training squadron, to learn the particularities of her job as an armoured officer with the Regiment. By that time, she will hold the rank of Lieutenant. That training will be finished in 2026.

## Character

A secret, that not many people know about her, is, that she is a bit of a cuddlebug.

### Command Style

Ensouled by the spirit of the Marcach, and the long history of Cavalry Warfare of the Selkie, Fiona commands her Team less like a tank unit and more like cavalry, daring and quick in its movements, surprising from all sides and without fear, but respect for all of the opponents, no matter their origin.

Off the field, Fiona is a strict commander, always looking for the best condition for her girls and her tanks and willing to endure the same conditions as them - including, but not limited to, sleeping outside under the stars.
