- "You've come far, boys. But I, Ferham, am here to make sure you don't make it a step further!"
- ―Ferham,Mega Man X: Command Mission
Ferham (フェラム,Feramu) is a character fromMega Man X: Command Mission. She is one ofEpsilon's Cadre in theRebellion Army inGiga City, and is notable for being one of the only femaleReploids in the Rebellion.
Characteristics[]
Ferham is a female Reploid in red and pink armor. Her design is inspired by birds of prey, having angles and edges reminiscent of feathers and talons. Two tabs dangle from the sides of her helmet to her neck, resembling two locks of hair. She has two large wings on her back, along with thrusters. Her legs are designed to resemble thigh-high boots. Her beam whip glows pink in official artwork, but light blue in-game. According to concept art, she is 175 cm (5' 9") tall, making her taller than X but a similar height to Zero.[1]

Ferham underwent a mild redesign inMega Man X DiVE. Her helmet changed its pair of hanging tabs, replacing them with two locks of waist-length maroon-purple hair falling from within her helmet, resting over the front of her body.
Ferham is a playful and dangerous individual. She has a sadistic streak and enjoys taunting her enemies. She also has a bit of a temper and hates losing. She is, however, intensely loyal to her commander,Epsilon and protects him fiercely fromX andZero. After Epsilon's defeat, she comes to follow her own moral code and assists the heroes in the battle withRedips, even disregarding her own safety in order to help them save the world.
History[]
Background[]
Ferham was formerly employed as the head of security at aForce Metal research facility. Upon meetingEpsilon, she was swayed to his cause.[2]
Mega Man X: Command Mission[]
Ferham restraining Zero at the Lagrano Ruins.
Ferham first appears whenShadow betrays X and Zero, defending Epsilon from Zero'sZ-Saber by wrapping her whip around his arm before he can strike. Once Zero is disposed of and X flees, Ferham begins to give chase, but Epsilon orders her to stand down and wait for them to return instead.
Ferham next appears when she ambushes X and his party in theVanallia Desert. She pushes X andMassimo into a patch of quicksand, then continuously whips Zero to make him let go of them. However, he refuses to fight her and is instead pulled into the quicksand along with the others.
Ferham appears again in theMelda Ore Plant speaking withScarface, who explains to her that X and his party survived the quicksand. Frustrated by this, she promises to finish them this time. She later confronts X and his team when they attempt to stop the launch of the dangerousSupra-Force Metal missile. Though she is defeated in this encounter, she is not destroyed and instead falls to the bottom of the missile silo.Botos finds her damaged, and forcefully tears the missile warhead key free from her body in order to steal the powerful substance for himself. X and the others finds Ferham, who explains to them what happened, and they set off to find Botos. Ferham departs the plant shortly thereafter.
Having recovered from her past battles, Ferham suddenly appears at theOrbital Elevator Babel to aid X and the others in their fight againstGreat Redips at the story's climax. She does this by trying to tear off half of Redips' Supra-Force Metal, baiting Redips into attacking his own body and knocking the Supra-Force Metal chunk free. With Redips weakened, X's team is able to defeat him.
Although wounded, Ferham can still stand, and apologizes to X for all the trouble she caused. She then promises to dispose of the last of the Supra-Force Metal so that no one can ever misuse the substance ever again, doing so by leaping off the Orbital Elevator with it and exploding. She takes comfort in knowing that she will join Scarface and Epsilon in the afterlife. Meanwhile,Nana views the resulting explosion of the Supra-Force Metal when it comes into contact with the Earth's atmosphere, creating an aurora.
Powers and abilities[]
Ferham wields an electromagnetic whip and has a Water elemental alignment. Besides her whip and Blizzard attacks, she can summon trace images with Crimson Shade that let her attack multiple times at once. Her most powerful attack is her unique Sonic Blizzard, which hits the entire party.
