Pannacotta Fugo

Fugo is a very hot headed person, this is probably one of the first things you will learn about him, as his temper flares up extremely easily. But beneath that is one of the smartest minds in all of Passione, and one of the most caring boys you'll ever meet. As a child Fugo was raised to be a prodigy. A trophy for his parents to brag about. His intelligence was extreme, even holding an IQ of 152. But it was taking a huge toll on him. Fugo hated his youth, hated his family, hated the fact he was only cared for as a prodigy and not a human being. Because of this he would have random thoughts of violence towards those around him, thoughts he would never act on. That was until he was sent to collage at the age of 13, a boarding school only for truly gifted students. But Fugo had no friends here, and had distant relationships with everyone he encountered. At one point, he was cornered in the library by one of his professors, who tried to force himself upon Fugo in return for the answers to an upcoming test. Fugo actively begged for him to stop, and suddenly all that rage he bottled in for years, all those times he's been used and forced by other people, he snapped. In a fit of frustration and hatred, he takes an encyclopedia and bashes in the professor's head with it. Fugo screamed at the man as he beat his head in, cursing him for trying to take advantage of him, for ruining any sense of respect Fugo had for authority. Fugo didn't stop till the professor was dead. Fugo's parents made sure the murder charge didn't stick, and he didn't face any jail time and was thrown to the streets. It was his quick thinking that kept him alive for so long. And it didn't take long before Fugo caught the attention of Bruno Bucciarati, who saw great potential in him and recruited him into the group; along with Guido Mista, Narancia Ghirga, and Leone Abbacchio- and later Giorno Giovanna. Despite his violent outburst, he really does love and care for his group, and most of the time is a great friend to them, only caring about their betterment. This is best shown with his relationship with Narancia, where he is shown actively giving him math lessons teaching him things he never learned as a result of never attending school. Because of his alliance with Bruno Bucciarati and because of that his alliance to the mafia group Passione, he obtained a Stand. It is one of the most feared, dangerous stands in all of the franchise; 'Purple Haze', the name coined from the song of the same name. Purple Haze is an unstable Stand that contains a particularly deadly, flesh-eating virus in each of the three bulbs on each of its hands. When a bulb breaks, usually because Purple Haze punches something, the virus is released and surrounds the Stand as a cloud of purple gas. In the case where Purple Haze is unable to shatter the bulbs through direct contact, it can release them from its knuckle like a pressurized gun so that they can shatter on impact. Any living thing that enters the range of the virus is immediately infected. The virus rapidly multiplies within the victims body, overrides their metabolic functions and makes them rot from the inside. An adult human being will melt into organic goo within 30 seconds at best. Fortunately, the virus, despite its deadly nature, is very fragile and dies quickly when exposed to the elements, such as sunlight. Even indoor light is enough to kill the virus quickly. Thus, the range of the virus is very short. Because the virus indiscriminately attacks friends and foes alike, it makes Purple Haze a very dangerous Stand for Fugo's allies. Even its user isn't immune from the effects of the virus. For this reason, Purple Haze is considered an absolute last resort. Fugo is terrified of the capabilities of his own stand, and how much it truly mirrors his own personality, how unstable things are for him and how little control he has over his temper. Fugo is a 17 year old boy, slim to average build with spiky hair. He has large bangs going down the right side of his face, the quantity of which varies throughout his appearances. In the anime adaptation, he instead has three bangs hanging to his forehead. Fugo wears a two-piece suit filled with holes on the sleeves and legs and has a watch on his left wrist. Originally his jacket had a hole on the chest as well, but past Chapter 469 it is portrayed as a one-button suit jacket. He also wears a belt to support his pants and a tie with a strawberry pattern. His shoes have the same strawberry pattern on the front of them. In his earliest appearances, he had earrings with wishing lamp symbols on them.
