Carmichael, Fee

フィー·カーマイケル

Fee Carmichael is the American pilot of the "Toy Box," the debris-collecting ship used by the main characters of Planetes. Born in Richmond, Virginia, she is the daughter of a prominent lawyer. Even louder and brasher than Hachi, Fee often reacts violently to others' actions and inaction, though she always means well. As a heavy (and slightly ashamed) smoker, she struggles to find places to indulge her habit in space, since smoking strains life support systems and is restricted to designated smoking rooms. This often makes her quite irritable, especially after all smoking rooms are shut down as the SDF began planting bombs in them. In the anime, she gets around this with an enclosed personal "smoker's seat" (which is prone to inadvertent sabotage). Married with a young son, Fee lives in Florida when not in space, which is not very often.
