Ferham

Ferham is one of Epsilon's Cadre, or lieutenant in the Rebellion forces on Gigantis Island. She is notable for being one of the only female Reploids in the Rebellion forces. Ferham owes much of her look to that of a bird, particularly one of prey, like a harrier. Although she is a combat capable flight Reploid, she is quite feminine and has a subtle, yet sadistic streak to her. She is however intensely loyal to her commander, Epsilon and protects him fiercely from X and Zero. The game hints at a likely romantic connection between her and fellow Cadre member, Scarface.

In the game
Ferham first appears in the games first chapter, Infiltrate Giga City! in which she defends Epsilon from Zero's Z-Saber, wrapping her whip around the blade just before he is able to strike Epsilon. The next time we encounter Ferham is in Chapter 7, Block Transmissions! where she ambushes the players party in the Vanallia Desert. She pushes X and Steel Massimo into a patch of quicksand, while taunting Zero in a sultry voice, striking him repeatedly with her whip because he won't stop trying to pull his friends free from the quicksand to fight her.

The next time we see Ferham is in chapter 8: The Ultimate Weapon in the Melda Ore Plant where she speaks with Scarface, who explains to her that the players party survived her attack. At the end of the level, she confronts X and his team when they attempt to stop the launch of potentially dangerous missle which will affect half the functioning Reploids on earth. Though she is defeated in this encounter, she is not destroyed, and instead following to the bottom of the missle silo, where Botos forcefully tears the missle warhead key free from her chest so he can steal the powerful substance for himself, causing obvious harm to her in the process.

Finally, she appears during the final battle, having somehow found her way undetected into Far East Headquarters, and assists the party in tearing free the chunk of Supra Force Metal from the final boss, Great Redips, which removes his invincibility and allows them to defeat him. She is wounded, (one wing snapped off in the fight) though not gravely and stands atop the crumbling satellite where the final battle is fought, choosing to drop from the edge (much to X's dismay) and take the powerful Supra Force Metal piece along with her, making sure no one could ever use it so that the tragedy that befell those on Gigantis could not be repeated. Before she dies, she takes great solace in the fact that she would be joining Scarface and the Commander Epsilon, which combined with the nature of her final acts serves as basic confirmation that Maverick dominion was never part of Epsilon's intent with the Supra-force Metal. This contributes to Epsilon's Maverick label being posthumously deferred in the end. Meanwhile, Nana views the resulting explosion of the Supra Force Metal when it comes into contact with the earths atmosphere, creating an aurora.

Abilities

 * Ferham seems to possess a VTOL-based flight system, due to her one-piece wings and lack of any obvious thrusters. Should also be noted her flight allows her to fly unhindered in sandstorms (Vanallia Desert) and her task is protecting the Melda Ore Plant, an arctic, snow region, perhaps alluding to greater ability to fly in harsh conditions and weather.
 * Her whip, while laser-like, has been revealed to be Electro-Magnetic.
 * In battle, Ferham is able to wield cold and ice-based attacks, owing possibly to a built in cryogenics system within her body.
 * She is a powerful Reploid, and has an ability called Crimson Shade, which is similar to Zero's Heat Haze sub weapon.
