Fiona Gallagher. Played by Emmy Rossum. Fiona is in the difficult position of being the oldest of the Gallagher children, so most of the responsibility and child-rearing falls on her young shoulders.
Personality. Fiona is a true South Side girl: she's scrappy, resourceful, and not afraid to get into a fight. As the sole provider for the Gallaghers, she takes on odd jobs (and demeaning ones, like sexy waitressing gigs) to provide for what her father's welfare checks won't cover.
As mentioned by Debbie and Lip in Season 9, she "goes Fiona on people" whenever she decides to help her siblings. Fiona constantly says that's not a thing but is told otherwise. She never met her nephew Freddie Gallagherbut she was aware of his birth.
The attraction between Fiona and him is palpable, but her taste for danger might be too much for... The youngest Gallagher child might not look like his family, but he's very much a Gallagher. He has been brought up almost entirely by Fiona and the rest of his siblings.

Emmy Rossum She is set to star as Los Angeles media personality Angelyne in a forthcoming biopic of the same name. In May 2021, the Poseidon actress welcomed a daughter with husband Sam Esmail, whom she wed in 2017.
Just like one of the most popular characters on Shameless we still have questions about, Lip Gallagher, Rossum is quite the brainiac. As a child, she was diagnosed with ADHD, but that didn't stop her from pursuing a formidable academic path. At the early age of 15, she already had her high school diploma.
But in real life, of course, Rossum's curly brunette hair is her beauty calling card—making her hair routine all the more must-know. It all begins in the shower with Living Proof's styler, followed by The Curly Co.'s collapsible diffuser.
Jeremy Allen White played Philip Gallagher, aka “Lip,” on Shameless. His character was the second-oldest child in the family, and along with being one of the main stars of the show, he has also starred in Homecoming, Law & Order, and The Bear. He married actress Addison Timlin in 2019.
Emmy Rossum is giving a glimpse into life at home with her baby girl. On Monday, the actress, 35, posted a rare shot to her Instagram Story of her 8-month-old daughter as the little girl stands inside of an open closet.
She hasn't even revived her singing career yet. Rossum released her first two studios album in 2007 and 2013. But it's unclear whether she has plans to work on a third album. At least fans of her voice can revisit her work in The Phantom of the Opera.
In 2018, after appearing in Seasons 8 and 9, Rossum announced her departure from Shameless. In a thoughtful Facebook post, Rossum cited her exit as an opportunity to move onto other projects. “The opportunity to play Fiona has been a gift.

Fiona Gallagher was a central character and in the difficult position of being the oldest Gallagherchild. Since she was 16 years old and her mother walked out, Fiona has taken care of her siblings and dysfunctional, alcoholic father, Frank. Despite how stressful and chaotic her life is, Fiona meets every challenge head on. Her siblings and father often turn to her when they get into trouble with the law.
Deep down, Fiona knows that her feelings for her boss, Sean, are turning into love as she spends more time with him.
Once her siblings mature, Fiona finally begins thinking about her own future. A good example is when she started working hard to better her life in Season 7 and told her family they must fend for themselves.
Fiona and Gus have an intimate wedding at city hall, but Fiona decides to keep the marriage a secret for the first few days because she is still unsure if it was the right decision to marry someone she barely knows.
In "Cascading Failures", Fiona quits after requesting a day off last minute to check on her siblings, who were placed in foster care due to Frank calling CPS in revenge. Fiona hounds a social worker to figure out where her siblings were placed. The social worker gets up to use the bathroom, hinting that Fiona can listen to the audio file of the man who called CPS; she is quietly enraged to discover it was Frank.
In the season finale, "Lazarus," a judge sends Fiona to a women's correctional facility for 90 days; she's released only a few days later when she passes her drug test. She lands a job at Patsy's Pies, thanks to her parole officer.
She has olive skin and dark brown eyes. Naturally slim and tall, Fiona wears form fitting clothes. They are mostly hand-me-downs or "borrowed" from the store (worn with the tags still on). Her hair is shoulder length in later seasons.
