Cressida Antonaci

**Cressida Vitiello** (née **Antonaci**) was a minor character in the Sins of the Fathers. She was the daughter of an unnamed man and woman. She was also the first wife of Amo Vitiello.

## Appearance and Character

Speaking strictly from physical appearance, Cressida was described as an attractive woman. She had long brown hair she often wore down even when exercising. Amo did not know if her eyes were green, grey, or blue as he never looked in them long enough. However, they must've been a light color as he knows they aren't brown.

Cressida was an ambitious and power-hungry woman who used her cunning and intelligence to get what she wanted. When Amo tried to pay her back for insulting Marcella, she was able to manipulate the entire situation to her own benefit.

She shows a fierce and vicious temper as early as her wedding night, shrieking and throwing things and this continues when Amo tells her they'll divorce, showing unhinged violent tendencies rivaling even made men.

She was completely unfeeling and callous, looking down on others and showing no compassion, even insulting Marcella during the hardest time in her life. She shows no kindness or ability to sympathize with hardships, only using them to bully others and bring herself more benefits. Amo at one point describes her as "conceited as fuck". She was also incredibly materialistic and spiteful as Amo mentioned "she'd go on a massive shopping spree tomorrow just to piss me off"

Cressida was also deeply immoral in other ways, willing to hurt an innocent woman. She cared nothing for the physical and emotional pain that Greta would suffer upon the attack that would force a hysterectomy and make her possibly unable to dance.

Her unpleasant personality resulted in even Aria disliking her.

## Early Life

It is mentioned that she was a classmate of Amo Vitiello.

## Sins of the Fathers

### By Sin I Rise: Part Two

She is first seen at the mayor's party while waiting outside the bathroom with Marcella Vitiello and another unnamed daughter of a captain. She accuses Marcella of dishonoring herself and her family with both girls adding that they would never kiss anyone as Marcella had, except for their future husbands. Cressida then calls her a slut. This seemingly infuriates Marcella, as she responds that if Cressida does not want her father to spend the rest of his life scrubbing dirt from container floors, she better watch her mouth and that maybe one day, she will be brave enough to be the master of her own life and not let other people be your master. Cressida starts to say that Marcella is still a slut, but is interrupted mid-sentence by the sudden appearance of Maddox White. He tells her to not stop on his account, but Cressida attempts to leave and is relieved when Amo appears. He inquires as to what is going on, but Cressida says that it was nothing and invites him to the roof terrace, Maddox chimes in and tells Amo what they had said. Amo looks to his sister for confirmation, and she says that everyone is entitled to their opinion, as long as they keep it to themselves. Amo was pissed, but invited Cressida to the terrace to have a word, she nodded with uncertainty, unsure if she was in trouble, but went along. Marcella grabs his arm as he passes, telling him that she is not worth it and to not do something stupid, but Amo tells her that he will make sure that people respect their family.

She is later seen again at Maddox and Marcella's wedding, again talking badly about Marcella. She was with the same girl as the mayor's party, but there was also a third unnamed girl. They were appalled that she had avoided the tradition of the bloody sheets, called her a slut, and said that of course she "gave it away" before marriage. Marcella then emerges, to their shock, and tells them that they should be grateful that her father, Capo Luca Vitiello, had abolished the tradition as it means that they can choose to keep their dignity by keeping the most private moments between husband and wife, actually private. Adding that it is of course up to them to diminish the night's importance and with it the bond itself by sharing bloody details for curious eyes. The three girls' mouths were open and without another word, Marcella left them.

Cressida catches Marcella's eye once more standing next to her parents back at the reception and she notes that her parents belonged to to those who judge her as openly as their survival instincts allow.

### By Fate I Conquer

She became engaged to Amo after losing her virginity and her family demanding to make it right. Luca agreed to the arrangement, despite Amo's unwillingness and despise towards Cressida. Amo states the only reason he sleeps with her is to get back at her for calling Marcella a slut when she married Maddox.
