Summary
Fee Carmichael serves as the American pilot of the Toy Box, the debris-collecting vessel central to the Planetes narrative. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, she is the daughter of a distinguished lawyer. More boisterous and blunt than Hachi, Fee frequently reacts with violence to perceived slights or inaction, though her intentions remain good. A heavy smoker, she struggles to find suitable places to indulge her habit in space due to the strain it places on life support systems, which restricts smoking to designated areas. This limitation often leads to irritability, particularly when the SDF begins planting bombs in those rooms. In the anime adaptation, she circumvents this issue using an enclosed personal smoker’s seat, though it is susceptible to accidental sabotage. When not working in space, which is infrequently, she resides in Florida with her husband and young son.
