**Ghiaccio Francescon,** formerly known as Giada Bianco, is a minor character and ally in Fate of Zephyr. In Vento Aureo, Ghiaccio is Ghiaccio of La Squadra Esecuzioni.

A figure-skating rival, former best friend, and unrelated look-a-like of Zura Grattachecca, he and his half-brother Amadeo Müller were forced to become Olympic athletes and abused by their step-father as a result. The abuse led to Zura being injured and Ghiaccio being framed for orchestrating the event. However, it was revealed that Ghiaccio's step-father planned the attack as a means to ensure Ghiaccio's chances of entering Italy's Olympic figure skating team. When Zura discovered the abuse Ghiaccio went through and the truth about her attack, she killed his step-father and posed as him in order to let Ghiaccio live a new life. Her arrest led Zura to be acquitted by Olio Nero and ultimately become his second-in-command of The Hitman Team. Ghiaccio would end up transitioning from female to male before becoming car mechanic shop owner in various locations in Italy. His business expansion to Venice ultimately led him to be reunited with Zura and help her fight against Salata Mista. It is revealed that he is the mystery figure that appeared in Zura's sand hallucination vowing to protect her.

It is unknown where and how Ghiaccio received his Stand White Album, which allows him to freeze anything he touches while doubling as a protective suit.

## Appearance

Ghiaccio is a man of below-average height and slim to medium build. He has light blue curled hair that are styled as spirals on his head, similar to the original Ghiaccio, and wears a pair of thick-rimmed red glasses due to his near-sightedness. When adjusted, the curls reveal his blond roots, indicating that his hair is dyed. A look-a-like of Zura, Ghiaccio resembles a male version of her.

As a mechanic, he wears a dark blue one-piece pantsuit with pockets filled with small tools and pieces for cars. The suit shows signs of wear and tear, and the top is tied at the waist, exposing a white, fitted t-shirt underneath. He also sports brown leather gloves, which can be adjusted to be fingerless by hooking the fingers onto the back of his hand, and red work boots that resembles the sneakers worn by the original Ghiaccio. He wears a daisy-shaped pendant as a hair-clip, which matches with Zura's necklace.

In Zura's visions, Ghiaccio appears to be wearing White Album and his face is obscured by its mask, which Zura described him as "the figure in white".

## Skills and Abilities

### **Business Skills**

* Due to Ghiacico's ability to speak various languages fluently or near fluency, he disguised himself by using common placeholder names depending on the language he was speaking. The most common aliases that he used are for him to pretend to be Russian, Finnish, and French.
* Ghiaccio's first name after transitioning was a nickname given to him by his co-workers when he first started out due to his short temper. When transitioning, he wasn't able to find a first name that suited him, so he stuck with Ghiacio in the name.
