Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies
- Abusive Parents: She's physically abusive and neglectful toward Cordelia.
- Amnesia Loop: Heavily implied to be trapped in one, as the Axe-man implies that she's been in Hell for a long time by the time we see her, but that she loses her memory every morning and doesn't remember any of their previous encounters, forcing her to relive the same misery of realizing she's in Hell and trapped with the Axe-man for eternity .
- Arbitrary Skepticism: When the Axeman tells her his story, she says she does not believe in ghosts. Which given everything else she has seen, well. Though there is a strong possibility she is just saying that to mock him, or because she doesn't believe his story specifically.
- The Archmage: The Supreme of the current generation, and was willing to kill the Supreme of the previous generation and anyone she thought was the Supreme of the next generation .
- Bad Boss: Self-involved and utterly deceitful, she is a terrible leader. She eventually plans to murder everyone in the coven, including her daughter, so she can continue being the Supreme. And it's implied she'd do the same thing to the next generation of witches.
- Bait the Dog: Fiona appeared to be someone who is a major Jerkass but at least somewhat cared. It isn't until "The Replacements" when you could see the real Fiona and how ruthless she can be in order to preserve herself.
- Big Bad: Of the season. Though Marie was originally built up to take the role of Big Bad, it is the actions of Fiona that are ultimately the most damaging to the coven. Reaches its apex when she plots to murder ever single one of the witches in order to retain her vitality and position as Supreme.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: Forms an alliance with Marie Laveau.
- Bullying a Dragon: Decides to double-cross and break the heart of a psychopathic ax-murderer. End well, end well it did, but then Hell happened.
- Character Death: Her real death is when she dies in Cordelia's arms after her life force is taken by her daughter becoming Supreme.
- Deadpan Snarker: This being a Jessica Lange role, she tends to get some of the better lines.
- Driven to Suicide: Attempted. Spalding's ghost talks her out of it.
- Dramatically Missing the Point / Dude, Where's My Respect?: Absolutely demands respect and appreciation as the Supreme, ignoring the fact that she regularly belittles, abuses, betrays, and plots to murder the witches in her coven.
- Enemy Mine: Joins forces with Marie, whose kind she had been trying to start a war with, when the witch hunters prove to be an even bigger threat to her and her coven.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Even she's appalled by the things LaLaurie did. In "Head," as much of a bitch she can be, she's in awe by witnessing LaLaurie's beheaded (but live and kicking) corpse by the hands of Laveau.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She actually cares deeply for Cordelia, although in a rather twisted way.
- Face Death with Dignity: Came back to say goodbye to Cordelia before she died.
- Faking the Dead: She implanted fake memories of her death into the Axe-Man so that Cordelia would use her second sight to confirm her death, and with the identity of the next Superior still unknown, make all the remaining candidates perform the Seven Wonders so she could have one last chance at offing them.
- Fantastic Racism: Zig-zagged. She's very openly bigoted towards Voodoo practitioners—to the point of plotting to end the already strained truce between them and the Salem descendants— and at one point, she insists that even the weakest witches are better than the best normal humans. However, she's disgusted by LaLaurie's ignorance and has explicitly stated that there's nothing she hates more than a racist.
- Fate Worse than Death: Spending eternity with the Axe-Man in Hell. . And even worse than that, she has to spend eternity with the Axe-Man in Hell in an really ugly house.

- Jerkass: She's rude, arrogant, and seems to care only about herself.
- Killed Off for Real: The Axe-Man hacked her to death and fed her to gators, guaranteeing she won't be coming back.
- This turned out to be an illusion she planted in the Axe-Man's memory and she was still alive, at least until she finally succumbed to her life force being drained and absorbed by Cordelia. She's then sent to hell by Papa Legba, ensuring she won't be coming back to life any time soon.
- While wandering through the hospital after Cordelia's blinding , she comes across a grieving mother whose baby was stillborn and brings it back to life.
- She shows genuine kindness to Marie after Hank kills all of Marie's allies. Even though it would be very easy (not to mention very in-character) to take Marie out while she's at her lowest point, she doesn't even consider it. It's enough to bring Marie to tears.
- She also restores Kyle's mental state after Zoe and Madison's shoddy resurrection, although she had pragmatic reasons for that one.
- The Sociopath: She only cares for herself, and will murder friends and family to stay alive.
- The Soulless: When she tries selling her soul for immortality, Papa Legba tells her she doesn't have one to sell. As we later see her in Hell, this obviously wasn't literal, but her soul was too empty to be any good to him, since no matter what atrocity he'd make her commit, she'd barely feel any remorse or sadness from them, which is what he lives off of .
- Strong as They Need to Be: One moment, she's on the verge of death and can barely rattle a door. Next moment, she's murdering powerful witches effortlessly and bringing down an entire corporation with her curses. Exactly how drained of her power she is is. inconsistent, to say the least.
- During the aforementioned bringing down of the company , she collapses and Marie has to take care of her, so it shows that she at least had some trouble with it.

- Mind Manipulation: Concilium. Can mentally manipulate people into doing things or forgetting. Stronger individuals can resist, but she'll turn their minds into mush for the effort.
