══ APPEARANCE

• Brunette hair, usually worn loose and flowing down to her chest. She always maintains excellent hair hygiene with high-quality products, preserving her public image.

Her footwear consists of black ankle-high Balenciaga boots. She completes the outfit with black leather gloves, both for aesthetic reasons and to conceal the unnatural coldness of her touch.

══ PERSONALITY

• Public Figure: Bianca, unlike the rest of her family, prefers to maintain a recognizable public image through the media. She appears in interviews, magazines, galas, and ceremonies. She is the kind of investor everyone sees, yet no one truly knows. Every appearance is carefully controlled by her team and kept Masquerade-safe.
• Fake: She knows how to perform around others: smiles, soft laughter, gasps. All expressions that appear believable, yet none of them are genuine.
• Strategic: Everything she says or does under her name is coldly calculated. Miraculous investments and charitable acts elevate her reputation and public image, making her less vulnerable to accusations or rumors.
• Small Circle: Like any Giovanni, her circle is naturally very closed. It rarely extends beyond family, though exceptions can exist for Ghouls or those who have somehow earned her trust. Even then, she always maintains control over what they know and do not know.
• Calculated Distrust: As a Giovanni, distrust toward outsiders has been ingrained into her personality from the beginning. Bianca is no exception, though she understands that excessive distrust and paranoia can become her downfall.
• Double Life: To the public world, she is a successful CEO, a beautiful woman, and a charitable soul. Within the shadows, she is just another mafiosa of the Giovanni family, pulling strings throughout the city while mortals remain unaware: rival assassinations, eliminating those with sensitive information, arms dealing, indirect gang control, monitoring what enters and leaves the ports, and more.
• Everything Can Be Bought: Money is power, and an extremely useful resource. It is no coincidence that the Giovanni family stands among the wealthiest clans, rivaling even the Ventrue. Bianca understands this well and uses wealth as her first solution: she buys information, buys submission, buys secrets, buys rivals. One way or another, they always end up in her pockets.
• Necessary Violence: When buying people fails, the true nature of the Giovanni emerges: organized crime. Bianca does not need to personally handle problems. She only needs to offer the right amount of money and spread the word. Within hours, someone ends up dead, and the case is ruled a suicide, an accident, or closed without explanation.
• Ambitious: There is always a higher ladder to climb, and the sky is never the limit. Even though the family’s conservative Italian traditions do not expect a woman to rise into positions traditionally reserved for men.
• Conflicted: Family is everything to the Giovanni. Rejecting it means becoming an outcast and losing everything. Defying tradition is deeply frowned upon. Bianca is proudly a Giovanni, yet doubts still creep into her mind. How much freedom does she truly have within the family?

══ HOBBIES

• Watching terminally ill patients die. (Her extensive hospital charities have granted her private access to indulge in this strange fascination.)
• Collecting morbid souvenirs in a private storage room within her mansion. (Skulls, preserved tumors, and other pathological specimens.)
• Practicing Oblivion within her mansion’s library.
• Studying and reading graphic books on Postmortem Pathology.

══ LIKES

• Songs by Måneskin or Kim Dracula, as well as the dark techno commonly played in clubs.
• Obedience.
• Submission.
• Professionalism.
• Skilled people.

══ DISLIKES

• Incompetence.
• Cowards.
• Being defied.
• Those she cannot control.
• Failure.

══ DISCIPLINES

• Auspex is a Discipline that grants vampires supernatural senses.
• Fortitude is a Discipline that grants Kindred unearthly toughness.
• Oblivion is a Discipline that allows its users to draw on something wholly unnatural; calling forth supernatural darkness from the Abyss and enslaving specters from the Underworld.

══ BANE

• Painfull Kiss: Their Kiss is agonizingly painful rather than pleasurable. Mortals recoil and resist, forcing vampires of this bloodline to rely on stealth, restraint, or coercion to feed.

══ COMPULSION

• Morbidity: The Hecata becomes fixated on death, illness, and human fragility, compulsively analyzing those around them for signs of decay or impending mortality. This obsession distracts them until they satisfy it by uncovering, predicting, or rationalizing a nearby death.

══ PROPERTIES

• Black Rolls-Royce Ghost with tinted windows for greater privacy. Polished white leather interior. An automated privacy partition can completely block the view of the rear seats whenever Bianca desires absolute isolation.
• Mansion with architecture inspired by Tadao Ando located in Oak Brook. (Includes two floors. The first floor contains the living room, access to the backyard, library, and the stairs leading to the basement. The second floor includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a wardrobe, and a storage room).
• Bella Vista Holdings Headquarters in River North.

══ FAMILY

• Hugo Giovanni: Grandfather and Capo of the family in Chicago.
• Leonardo Giovanni: Bianca's father and son of Hugo Giovanni.
• Bella Giovanni: Bianca's mother, wife of Leonardo Giovanni, and also his cousin.
