'''Fiolina "Fio" Germi''' is a playable character who first appeared in SNK's 1998 run-and-gun video game ''Metal Slug 2''. She is considered one of the four main characters of the '''''Metal Slug''''' series, alongside fellow ''Metal Slug 2'' debutante [[Eri Kasamoto|Eri]] and male protagonists [[Marco Rossi|Marco]] and [[Tarma Roving|Tarma]].
While the series isn't well-known for its characters compared to its gameplay, Fio stands out as the most popular character among fans because of her cute, brunette-with-glasses appearance, making her a common subject of fan art (especially of lewd nature). As a result of this, she was the [[Queen of /v/ 2019|first tournament]] runner-up in [[Queen of /v/]] and has thus far made three appearances in its [[Elite Eight (King and Queen of /v/)|Elite Eight]].
==Tournament History==
Fio is one of the consistently stronger competitors in [[4chan]]'s [[Queen of /v/]] character tournament due to her attractiveness and ''Metal Slug's'' positive reputation on the board. However, some anons call her a "literally who" because of her relatively less popularity compared to girls from mainstream games - but these statements are almost always shot down by other anons. She was the runner-up of the first Queen tournament in [[Queen of /v/ 2019|2019]], which saw her defeat a quite impressive roster that included [[Futaba Sakura|Futaba]], [[Jill Valentine|Jill]], [[Shantae]], and [[Midna]], before falling to [[Samus Aran]] in the finals.
The soldier returned in [[Queen of /v/ 2021]], qualifying in the bracket at seed 10. After breezing past the first 2 rounds, she decisively beat ''Pokemon's'' [[Cynthia]] in round 3, then overcame ''Ace Attorney's'' [[Franziska von Karma]] in round 4 to re-affirm her place in the [[Elite Eight (King and Queen of /v/)|Elite Eight]] - all without garnering as much fan art as other competitors did in those stages. However, she was eliminated by eventual runner-up [[Madotsuki]] in the quarter-finals, and later settled for 7th place overall.
Fio's next eligible appearance per the Elite Eight rule was in [[Queen of /v/ 2023|2023]]. Despite being mostly silent aside from shared art with other girls and one fatposter around Round 4, she would quietly make her way back into the Elite Eight for a third time. This makes her one of two girls on /v/ (alongside [[Roll]]) to have a perfect Elite Eight streak for at least three eligible tournaments, and one of three to do this alongside [[Chel]] in [[Ms. /co/ Tournaments|Ms. /co/]]. In a twist of irony, she would end up facing Roll herself in the quarterfinals and lost by a decent margin. Other notable feats included knocking out the joke pick [[JPEG Dog]] in round 3 and the even more silent [[2B]] in round 4. Fio ended up being rewarded 6th place after it was voted to base the Top 8 positions solely on the main / winners' bracket.
