Origins and Personal Life
Fio Ericki was born in the impoverished town of Stozer, as a member of the Batu ethnicity. She began a terracotta business in the mesa of Batu, and eventually expanded into selling bricks and enchanted books. She also adopted the surname of Ericki, and joined the Ericki altercast, believing it to be a fitting surname and clan for her trade. She built what was considered at the time, one of the best buildings in Stozer, and owned a small house in Lazodi. None of these buildings exist anymore, as Stozer fell in disrepair and her home was looted after she left Batu, and her house was torn down to build the walls of Lazodi. She also accepted the faith of Batu Shamanism and was a member of the congregation, despite never formally attending any religious rituals. She later met Paying Allevatori, who promised her marriage to his son, Stepasound, which she accepted.

Political Career in Batu
Fio Ericki attempted to run for the position of Minister of Finance in Batu, but lost. However, as a capable runner up, she was appointed Secretary of Finance under the administration of Yuca of Batu, and then became the Minister of Finance of Batu, a month later. However, the dissolution of Batu and her subsequent marriage with Stepasound Allevatori, led to her fleeing to Nova Azcoria.

Career in Nova Azcoria
She was then offered a position to be co-ministers (of the economy) with VoltageMan in Nova Azcoria, and took this position from November 2022 to December 2022. During this time, Voltageman taught her to manage the Azcorian economy. Her entry into the Azcorian bureaucracy was essential for the integration of the former provinces of Batu She then became the sole Minister of Economy under the Gunk administration. She also became a member of the WPA and PLP. Under the request of Stepasound, she also became an AIC agent and worked briefly in Oceanum and in the WPA as an agent. Fio became Party Chairman of the WPA, after Gunk stepped down. Afterwards, in the 2/5/2022 Chancellorship election in Nova Azcoria, Fio won under a PLP, WPA, and independent coalition with Byonath. With Byonath as her Vice Chancellor, she was elected in a landslide victory as Chancellor of Nova Azcoria. Her Chancellorship led to the reestablishment of ties with Vulpinia, and ties with the newly formed nation of Manzland, as well as economic restructuring and an attempted military reform. After a failed coup by the Vulpinian government, she resigned and handed over control of Nova Azcoria to Koru.

Relationship with Stepasound Allevatori
It was a common sight to see Fio attached to Stepasound at all times and she lived with him in their small home in Horizonte. To the ire of some citizens, the lovers would constantly dote and shower affection on each other, to the point where it became a meme. They were engaged quickly. However, due to political turmoil, and work, the lovers did not marry until Fio had already left Nova Azcoria. They did however, marry in the city of Horizonte, with close family and friends nearby. Despite this, Fio and Stepasound birthed a child out of wedlock, Adeline Allevatori.

Disappearance and New Life in the Ashtrokan Wandenreich Empire
Fio disappeared from the lands of Eldham for several years, choosing to live in the wilderness, as she was incredibly mentally ill after the betrayal of the coup. She also feared she was a wanted woman by the Vulpinians, and did not want her daughter to be targeted by them. Her failure to think rationally during that time period led to the complete deterioration of her relationship with her daughter and husband. It was about one and a half years later when she emerged, as a citizen of the Ashtrokan Wandenreich Empire. By then, her husband had forgiven her, and their relationship mended, although her daughter was still resentful.

She specifically worked on gathering intel on nations such as Uraka and the Ashtrokan Wandenreich Empire, with the assistance of Stepasound who had been promoted as an intelligence officer for Uraka, but was in reality an LAS plant.
