From Cora's Pinterest Board

**Greta Vitiello** (née **Falcone**) (born May 15, 2027) is main character in the Sins of the Fathers and a minor character in the Camorra Chronicles and in the Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles. She is the daughter of Remo and Serafina Falcone, the twin sister of Nevio and the older sister to Giulio. She is also the wife of Amo Vitiello and mother to fraternal twins, a son and a daughter.

## Physical Description

She, alongside Nevio, has dark brown almost black eyes and thick black hair that they inherited from Remo as Greta's hair is slightly curly like her uncle Adamo's. She is often called "dollface" by Savio, who claims an evident resemblance between a doll and Greta.

When she was a baby, her aunt Kiara described her and Nevio as the most beautiful babies she had ever seen. According to her other aunt, Dinara Mikhailov, she has symmetrical facial features, big eyes, and porcelain skin. She is described as having a heart-shaped face, heart-shaped lips, fairy-like features, somewhat curly hair and doe eyes the color of bitter chocolate.

## Personality

She has a calm, kind, and quiet personality and is more reserved towards strangers. She is one of the few people able to calm her father, Remo Falcone, Savio compares her to Valium in that regard. Like her aunt, Kiara Falcone, she doesn't eat meat. She enjoys practicing ballet and is very talented according to Serafina. She also loves animals.

As an infant and toddler, Greta was very shy and had a general fear of men she didn't know. As she grew up she became a very compassionate, non-violent person. She still seeks the shadows and prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Greta also gets overwhelmed easily in social situations. She has numbers she repeats to calm herself. As an animal lover, she is vegan and has great sympathy and care for rescues and animals that are mistreated, even risking her life to protect them when the building is set ablaze.

Greta is very blunt once she decides to say something, like telling Amo she can imagine kissing him and telling Aria their wedding night won't be the first time Amo and her are intimate. Greta also has trouble reading people's emotions and their expressions. Additionally, Greta takes things literally. When she admits to being in an affair with Amo and her mother says "you really went in for the kill" she thinks Serafina is referring to the war and people dying before Serafina clarifies she meant Greta was blunt. She is deeply kind-hearted and hates violence, but has a dark side, like setting a man on fire and telling Nevio to make a man's death quick and painful. Greta is extremely disturbed by her actions and shuts down until she is reassured it came out of kindness. Greta always felt like she was responsible for making sure Nevio didn't lose himself in darkness completely.

Though she isn't always logical, she seems to value logic and is among the more logical characters in the series. She understands war and hurting her family and thus decides not to marry Amo the first time he proposes. She also frequently brings up that falling in love at first sight is illogical and questions how it happens. Her more logical nature, combined with her problems reading people, makes her seek out her uncle Nino.

Though her father and brother insist she is a saint or perfect, she openly admits to being flawed. Greta is very non-judgmental. She doesn't judge Amo for sleeping with many women before her, instead stating it in a more matter-of-fact way, and she tells him that just because she does ballet doesn't mean she doesn't appreciate other types of dancing. She is extremely loyal to her family and later, to Amo.

Greta has a lot of consistent mannerisms. She gets anxious when touching or being touched by people she doesn't know, gets overwhelmed easily, and requires complete dark and quiet, she once stated that looking into someone's eyes cost her effort, and when she attempted to dance with a man she got so anxious that feeling the floor under her feet and hearing the AC began to severely affect her. She is affectionate physically with her family and Amo and was disappointed that Aria didn't hug her and hoped she would after they spent more time together. Greta also states in her narration briefly after meeting Amo that she was never sexually or romantically attracted to anyone before him, not even a stranger in passing or a celebrity. She doesn't like to make a big deal out of things like birthdays, saying if it wasn't Nevio's birthday too she wouldn't have wanted a party. Greta was able to count how many hours she hid from her family by counting the seconds.
