Fanya Fastolfe is a character from Isaac Asimov's Robot series.
About Fanya[]
Fanya is the current spouse of the renowned Auroran roboticist Dr. Han Fastolfe during the events surrounding the investigation of the robot Jander Panell's deactivation. Their marriage, like many on Aurora, is nearing its dissolution, a common and socially accepted practice on the world. She resides in Dr. Fastolfe's establishment but maintains a distinct life from his scientific and political endeavors. Her personal taste is demonstrated by her insistence on purchasing an expensive, dynamic astronomical mosaic that adorns the dining room, which Fastolfe acknowledges as a "true work of art" that "cost a fortune."
To prevent her from being implicated in the scandal surrounding Jander Panell, Dr. Fastolfe requests that she remain in her private quarters during Elijah Baley's investigation. She possesses no knowledge of robotics and is not involved in her husband's work on humaniform robots. Her character illustrates the casual Auroran attitudes toward marriage and domestic partnership.
