## Biography

Giulia was born and raised in Porto Empedolce, Sicily and at the age of five befriended her classmate, Rosetta Parisi. When Giulia and Rosetta were thirteen the Sparrow Academy was revealed to the world and both girls were instantly captivated. Soon after the Academy's debut rumors began to spread about an invisible vigilante known only as *il fantasma* who had been stopping crimes around Porto Empedolce. At first Giulia was skeptical but over the years she not only grew to believe in the vigilante she also developed the suspicion that *il fantasma* was Rosetta's alter ego. Eventually she confronted Rose about it and Rose confessed, promising to show Giulia her powers. The two snuck outside during Sunday mass to do so but Rose lost control and accidentally set the church on fire. All sixty-five people inside died including Giulia’s mother, father, and younger brothers.

After the fire Giulia didn’t see Rosetta again and had no idea what happened to her. She began to resent Rose and the Sparrow Academy but had no idea that there were dozens of more people like them in the world. Giulia stayed in Porto Empedolce and continued to run her family's restaurant. Thirteen years later, after escaping the Hotel Oblivion and restarting her life in the U.S Rose returned to Porto Empedolce and the two happened to cross paths. Giulia pretended to be forgiving, planning to kill Rosetta as revenge for the deaths of her family. However, before she got a chance to do so Rose told her about the other superhumans she had met. Giulia was shocked and disturbed to hear that there so many other people like Rosetta in the world. She came up with a new plan to continue her friendship with Rose in order to learn the weaknesses of the Sparrows and the other superhumans. Her eventual goal is to find and kill as many superhumans as possible.

After visiting Rose at the academy and studying the academy members Giulia became convinced that the only way to defeat the superhumans was to become one herself. She visited Denny Perez, having heard that they could create technology that grants powers to non-powered people. Denny presented all of their data on the academy members allowing Giulia to choose anyone's powers to replicate for herself. She chose the matter manipulation powers of Jack Adams.
