Fiona Shepard Mariano (February 14, 2139 –) is a human medical doctor who spent most of her life and career working in clinics on
Omega, in the
Terminus Systems. Within the
Andromeda timeline, she temporarily becomes a field medic in the
Gosavar, before resuming her work as a general practitioner. Within the
Milky Way timeline, she continues to work at the same clinic in the
Kima District, providing free services to anyone who comes to their door.
She was almost related by marriage to
Anthony Shepard. She had decided to also legally change her name to Mariano after her youngest brother married him; however, her brother died on
Akuze before it could happen.
In the Milky Way timeline, Fiona stays on Omega and keeps her surname intact, so that she and Anthony appear related. In the Andromeda timeline, Fiona leaves the galaxy as part of the Initiative and registers using Anthony's original surname of Mariano. She is estranged from her family and considers Anthony her only living relative.
Fiona Mariano was born Fiona Shepard on (look up military stations in the galaxy), while her father was stationed there. Her family later moved to
Mars when her younger brother William was born, and Fiona grew up there with her mother and brothers. Her father visited off and on for most of her childhood, and began to spend more time at home when she and William were teenagers. Her home life was abusive both physically and emotionally. At eighteen, she emancipated herself and vanished from Mars, believing that her family could track her unless she fled
Allied space.
In lieu of enrolling within an Alliance medical school, Fiona trained in the Terminus Systems with turian, batarian and elcor medical professionals of varying experience. She gained an understanding of xenobiology and health practices from these cultures as well as studying traditional human biology and medical care. She began her unofficial residency on Omega, and liked working there so well that she joined an existing asari-batarian practice, the Kima Clinic.
During her residency, she realized how little she knew of the vast world of alien healthcare, and took on shifts at the
Carrd Clinic to study under its team. When the
University of Triginta Petra began offering public access to their medical webinars, she called in a favor from a
local hacker to access their archives anonymously. She took work as a field medic on two mercenary-funded operations, and sailed a year on a smuggling skiff as ship doctor.
