- Fiona is 16 in the film, instead of 12.
- Since Larissa is taken out of The Giver movie, there is no longer a need for Fiona to be Caretaker of the Old, so she is a nurturer .
- Fiona is adapted to be a love interest for Jonas in the movie and assists him with his and Gabe's escape. She is later apprehended for this and is nearly released before Jonas gives the memories back to the community.
