Fiona is a character in The Giver. She was assigned to be a Caretaker of the Old because she is gentle and careful. She is cheerful and eager to help old people at the Home, and is also Jonas and Asher's best friend. She is the main subject of Jonas's Stirrings. She has dark eyes like almost all of the others in the Community and has red hair.

History

The Giver Quartet

The Giver

She is Jonas's and Asher's friend, and was assigned to be a Caretaker of the Old in her community. It was revealed she had red hair when Jonas had started seeing colors. She later becomes the object of Jonas' Stirrings afterwards, but this is unreciprocated on her part due to not having emotions. Jonas does not get the chance to say goodbye to her when he decides to take Gabriel away form the Community.

Messenger

When Matty asks Leader (Jonas) if he ever loved a girl when he was his age, Leader tells him there was a girl once, when he was young. Matty questions her fate, and Leader replies that she changed, implying he and Fiona may have reunited at some point or she gained the past memories and emotions after Jonas left.

Film Adaptation

In The Giver (2015), Fiona is portrayed by Odeya Rush. Because in the movie light eyes have nothing to do with the Receiver of Memory, Fiona has light eyes instead of dark eyes. Like the other Twelves in the film, Fiona is 18 in the film, instead of 12. Since Larissa is taken out of the film, there is no longer a need for Fiona to be Caretaker of the Old, so she is a nurturer. Fiona is adapted to be a love interest for Jonas in the movie and assists him with his and Gabe's escape. She is later apprehended for this and is nearly released before Jonas gives the memories back to the community.
