=== Disputer ===

However, for all her misgivings she is supportive of the continued war against the [[Krell]] and tries to become a pilot as hard as any other member of her flight.{{book ref|Skyward|21}} FM will often complain that the other members of Skyward Flight are too aggressive.{{book ref|sky1|21}} FM thinks of herself as a hypocrite for wanting to be a pilot while also self identifying as a Disputer.{{book ref|sky1|28}} She likes being asked about her beliefs or why she identifies as something other than a Defiant.{{book ref|sky1|28}}
 
==History==
 
Not long after the class was dismissed, Skyward Flight was called to action to help defend against a Krell attack. The flight took up position near one of Alta's AA guns away from the main fight to wait as backup. After the flight was given the green light to engage, FM tried to fall in behind Kimmalyn to try provide assistance when she was swarmed by Krell. Despite her best efforts, the Krell kept locking onto Kimmalyn even after they were driven away, leading to FM picking up a tail of her own, however, before long it disengaged to instead target Spensa.{{book ref|sky1|32}}
 
After the death of Hurl, FM, along with the other remaining members of Skyward Flight, were given a week of leave in order to recover.{{book ref|sky1|33}} During their week of leave, FM attempted to find Spensa, even asking Cobb if he knew the location of her cave, likely in an attempt to get the other girl to hangout with the members of Skyward Flight.{{book ref|sky1|37}} After meeting up with Nedd, Arturo, and Kimmalyn, FM returned to the barrack's at Kimmalyn's request to retrieve a necklace the other girl had accidentally left behind when she quit the DDF.{{book ref|sky1|38}} On her way, FM ran into Spensa and convinced the other girl to come with her to the restaurant where their flightmates had decided to meet.{{book ref|sky1|37}}
 
Once the pair had arrived, FM left Spensa with the group while she went to order the other girl food and a drink, knowing that Spensa had eaten not much more than rat for the last few months. ALthough the meal was paid for by Arturo, FM studiously continued to bring Spensa food, in order to treat her friend to food she had not been able to access since well before flight school began. After returning the necklace she retrieved to Kimmalyn, FM and her friends spoke of Hurl, remembering their friend and reminiscing about their time in flight school. When Bryn went to the bathroom, the members of Skyward Flight talked briefly about the strangeness of Krell tactics and the DDF's hesitancy to talk about these things.{{book ref|sky1|38}}
 
Before the end of their temporary break, FM and Arturo went to see a League game after being given tickets by Nedd.{{book ref|sky1|40}}
 
Several days later, FM and Spensa joined the other two cadet flights, Inkwell and Firestorm, in the dining hall and discussed the possibility of the three cadet teams being joined into one. FM dismissed the idea of joining the scouts when it was suggested by another cadet, as she believed it to be too much of the obvious choice.{{book ref|sky1|42}}
 
FM participated in all the battles that Skyward Flight did, and ended up being one of its two graduates, alongside [[Jorgen]].{{book ref|Skyward|48}} Afterwards, she was one of the pilots at the Second Battle of Alta, and aided in taking down the bomber carrying the second lifebuster.{{book ref|Skyward|52}} She was one of the survivors of the battle.
 
She comes from a highly-merited family, giving her a large degree of freedom and influence.
 
FM is a good scout, although she is initially reistant to join the group, as it was the obvious choice that fit with her views on aggression amongst pilots.{{book ref|sky1|42}}
 
She is better in a smaller ship.{{book ref|sky1|44}}
 
== Relationships ==
 
=== Spensa ===
Spensa admires FM for her fashion sense and outward appearance, finding the other girl to epitomize beauty standards.{{book ref|sky1|21}} FM finds a lot of Spensa's bravado to come from indoctrination of the toxic and aggressive culture promoted by the Defiants, however, appreciates the sincerity behind some of what Spensa says, particularly after the deaths of Bim and Morningtide.{{book ref|sky1|21}} She doesn't blame Spensa for her attitude, believing it to be ingrained in her from the society they live in.{{book ref|sky1|21}} Spensa doesn't understand FM's criticism of the DDF and the issue with agressiveness.{{book ref|sky1|21}} FM is dismissive of Spensa's concerns that she experiences fear, likely because she does not understand the underlying worry Spensa has about this meaning she is a coward.{{book ref|sky1|28}} During flight school, Spensa worries that FM will be pulled from the team in a similar vein as Arturo, as her parents are also influencial and wealthy.{{book ref|sky1|42}}
 
== Rodge ==
 
Rodge has a crush on FM. He finds her to be smart and cute, and thinks she has nice eyes.{{book ref|sky1|30}} Spensa, playswhile playing matchmaker, betweenasks FM andabout Rodge,her floatingdating thepreferences ideato ofsee datingwhether theshe ex-pilotwould tobe FMinterested toin gaguesomeone like Rodge, although her reactionattempts to find out information do not go very far.{{book ref|sky1|38}}
