**Ceci Mariposa** is a member of Team Bucciarati, half-sister of Bruno Bencivenga, and a minor antagonist in Fate of Zephyr.

Initially believed to be an orphan, Ceci learned of her birth mother Angelina Del Re and attempted to reach out to her when she was kicked out of the orphanage. Ceci falsely assumed she was related to Paolo Bucciarati but learned she was instead a product of an affair between Angelina and a traveling salesman and the results of the conception led Ceci to be abandoned as a means of saving Paolo's marriage. Despite only being related to Paolo through his son Bruno, Ceci strived to be a daugther to Paolo and ended up joining Team Bucciarati after attempting to help them ease their punishment due to The Incident. Ceci was the only member from Team Bucciarati who joined after the death of Stracciatello and she ultimately dies at the hands of Giorno Giovanna with the help of Cassio Montagna. Because of her interaction with Giorno, Fedel Agnello to kidnap Gigi Una and Clara E. during the train ride to Florence.

Ceci possesses the Stand MONTERO, which has the ability to transform and manipulate objects into living insects, often using it as a means of attacking victims.

## Appearance

## Abilities

### Stand

MONTERO is a close-range Stand that allows Ceci to transform herself or anything she touches into insects, mainly butterflies. The butterflies also double as beacons for her, allowing her to pinpoint their locations and relay simple information in terms of location.

The butterflies are also capable of eating victims alive, using their sweat or tears to find them and ultimately eat the flesh where they are sweating. This could be mitigated if the victims are in a cool enough space where they cannot sweat, or consume or carry items that will keep them cool. Alleviating factors that can make an individual sweat, such as stress, is also another way to mitigate the issue. Ceci Mariposa/History
