However, for all her lofty ideals she's still twelve years old and often acts childish or self-indulgent like a typical twelve-year-old. Her energetic personality masks the fact that she's quite lazy. She'll often spend time napping around the base only waking up to change where she naps. However, in the air, she displays a passion and talent for flying that nobody in the 501st can match.

The power is great, thanks to magic ability, Francesca can penetrate in the Neuroi structure and forge barriers, that are almost unbreakable. Even Shirley throws her for kill a Neuroi with her magical power.

In battle, she can focus their magic on a point in front of her.

== Trivia ==
* Francesca is based off the Italian flying ace Franco Lucchini, an ace in the Spanish Civil War and the World War II. He's acredited with 22 victories and named 'Francesco Baracca della Seconda Guerra Mondiale'. He died in 1943 during a mission. He was described as a young fighter, animator, enthusiastic and convinced, aspects of his personality that shares with Francesca.
* Her familiar is the Black panther. Some characters confuse with a black cat (Shirley, for example), or even some media says that her familiar is a leopard. This is also the origin of her alias Gattino. Her familiar's name is Ombra (Shadow in Italian).
* In one of her earlier World Witches Profile information: the nation flag on her profile information is shown as the Karlsland flag instead of the Romagnan flag as it should be, given she is a Romagnan. This appears to be an illustration error. The 2018 updated version of Francesca's World Witch Profile is shown as the Romagna flag as it should be.
