GianaGiana has been described in the videos and chapters as having bright red hair with ringlets and brown eyes. Giana is also never seen without her stuffed rabbit named Mr. Buns. Because Giana has difficulty communicating with people outside of her family (with the exception of Belvi), she instead uses Mr. Buns to speak for her. It is discovered that Giana has CSD, Childhood Schizophrenic Disorder, and social anxiety, causing her to be more withdrawn. She is the daughter of Bennett and youngest sister of Darci and Fitz.

When the party first meets Giana, it is within the Three Feathers Scroll Shop owned by her father when she is roughly 6 years old. Though she normally would hide from strangers, on this occasion she was seen walking straight up to Belvi and commenting on his height. Becoming quick friends with the young girl, Belvi lifts her on his shoulder to see the world from his view, much to her delight. After Darci and Orlean began seeing each other and the party would be in town, Giana would sometimes go to Belvi for stories.

It is important to note that with Giana's condition, she often hears voices or sees things that are not there. Sometimes these can be in the form of intrusive thoughts or voices that can be harsh and angry, so she would become more frightened of speaking. When Giana found Mr. Buns though, they became a voice that would help protect and shield Giana from those other voices. To little Giana, she thought this meant that a spirit of a gnome was stuck within Mr. Buns but he is, in fact, just another voice. Though, not everything she sees and hears is bad. This different way of thinking allows her to see how some things work or are made. After struggling and failing in magical studies for years, she found something in her father's study that allowed her to better understand this new side of magic, classing into an Artificer.

Throughout the series, we see little of Giana though we know she was last living with her father. Fitz stayed in contact during the years away and Giana even created the headphones that she used for grounding in meditation and were later given to young Stim at the orphanage. Also, whenever the party would come back into town, it is heavily implied that Belvi would visit with her, this also being the first time she would meet Banvol, who gained access to her mind to understand her condition better. We also see that Giana had either become ill or her condition worsened when she is a teenager, from the video duets of the Solstice Arc when Bennett mentioned she was not well enough for visitors (also referring to a young Quintin looking for her when they were over).

Her present condition and location are currently unknown.
