Anita Cicchetti is a member of The Hitman Team and a core ally in Fate of Zephyr. In Vento Aureo, she is the unnamed woman on the train who's body is used to create Melone's Junior; the anime credited her with the name Anita.

An Italian and Punjabi socialite who suffered the lost of her husband and daughter, she spiralled into alcholism and smoking before being sent to Rome for an arranged marriage by her family. Her trip led her to a traumatic encounter Ezio Romano and was subjected to the latter's Stand Babyface as his attempt to escape from the police. She would later be found by Zura Grattachecca near the train tracks and brought back to The Hitman Team soon after, becoming a mafioso in Passione as a result. Anita serves more on the business and financial aspects of the team but follows along with Giorno Giovanna and Olio Nero in their mission to bodyguard Gigi Una. She ultimately sacrificed her life to allow Gigi and Olio to escape and her death led to the team's decision to find Father Diavolo's identity.

Her interaction with Ezio on her train trip to Rome led her to become the Stand user of TROYBOI, a variation of Ezio's Babyface that allows her to produce humanoid entities at will.

## Appearance

Anita is a woman of average height and build. She has dark brown hair which she has cut into a short bob and bangs and golden eyes, the last which she received after her encounter with Ezio. The bob appears longer at the front and the bangs are cut to be longer and pointed more in the center. She also dons purple earrings decorated with henna motifs shaped as uppercase letters, wearing a capital 'T' on her right lobe and 'B' on her left.

Anita wears a red body suit that is cut revealing her cleavage and stomach. A sheer red high-waisted underwear and body stocking is worn over it, stopping above her mid-calf, as well as a matching color blazer with shoulder pad. Both the suit and bodysuit has motifs of simple floral design accented with green and black, which references the original Anita's dress design. She also wears nude pumps, revealing her toe nails to be painted red when one of them was removed during a scuffle. The heel is decorated with an image of a skull that looked similar to the original Junior. She also wears red lipstick and red nail polish on her hands, both of which match the color on her toes. According to Andreas Arancini, she smells like lotus flowers when she walks by, but her breath and fingers constantly reek the smell of wine and tobacco.

Anita identifies as half-Italian and half-Punjabi, sharing physical traits from both sides of her family. Prior to losing her husband and child, Anita had longer hair and often seen wearing designer outfits with matching or contrasting elaborate saris at social events. Even after her husband's death, she wore her engagement ring, only taking it off to put it in her bag right before she encountered Ezio, and often switches it from finger to finger when she is thinking heavily. She also grew up with dark brown eyes- its color changed after surviving her interaction on the train- and would briefly turn light teal sporadically.

## Personality

Anita gives off the impression of a prideful yet somber and bitter socialite with high-class tastes. With a no-nonsense attitude and blunt way of speaking, she often tells things as she sees them regardless of the reaction it will entail and at most watches the antics of her team from afar. She is rarely seen smiling, oftentimes scowling and earning a reputation for always looking annoyed, although would occasionally smirk or play along with conversations when she finds them amusing to her taste. This was seen when she humorously asked Andreas if he would consider engaging in sex with the same man that screwed his mother.

She prioritizes the completion of a mission before the life of his allies due to her views on fulfilling missions and would do anything to see it through. However, her willingness to abandon her allies mostly stem from her confidence in them surviving and being able to fulfill their jobs rather than leaving them to succumb to fate. This was seen when she demanded Giorno to leave Clara while heavily emphasizing that the other member could take on Bavaroise Fugo alone, but also doing so to figure out a new strategy plan to help the latter from encountering Fedel Agnello and resulting in a two-against-one situation. Anita shows herself to be self-sacrificing for her teammates despite appearing to abandon them, willing to faced Father Diavolo alone at St Mark's Campanile and demanding Olio to leave with Gigi instead of remaining to fight.

Anita eludes confidence and can easily blend herself within the high-society events with ease, to the point of arrogance. Her taste in the arts gained her a reputation for being an admirer of fashion, art, and design. Despite her appearance as being a shallow socialite, she is revealed to be an avid reader and accomplished violinist according to Zura, capable of holding detailed conversations about music theory and history.

In the past, Anita was revealed to be more loving and friendly, albeit more ignorant of her surroundings outside of the high-society bubble she was raised in, and grew up expecting to be another socialite wife and mother. The lost of her husband and child led her to spiral into alcoholism and smoking addiction, as well as her distaste for crying children- a trait shared with the original Anita- willing to raise her voice at them when she finds them acting irrationally. However, she is shown to have a maternal side and a soft spot for Trish, especially since they share similar interests in fashion and arts, and Marsala despite her association with Ezio. Her maternal side is most prominent when she is seen angry towards Father Diavolo for his actions against his daughter and told him that she hoped Gigi will find a family that will value her more than he did. Anita also secretly envies those who still find optimism despite their circumstances and chances of success, which explains her critical and contempt behavior towards Giorno in the beginning, but later admits how impressive he is for succeeding with each situation thrown at him. This was especially seen in Anita's last moments before her death when she mentioned Giorno's abilities to her late husband during her vision before death.

## Abilities

### Stand

TROYBOI is a far-ranged Stand that is described as a "variation" of Ezio's Babyface. Like Babyface, it performs similar functions with notable differences in how it is used. Because of this, it has both strengths and weaknesses that foil the original Stand.

Anita frequently uses it to create clones, which she calls her homunculi, to be a mindless hivemind that will only kill whatever provoked them- due to its inability to become sentient enough to be intelligently conscious like a typical Junior or have more resilience against attacks. However, TROYBOI is able to create multiple homunculi at ease with just a male blood sample that is consumed by Anita and without consideration regarding astrology or pseudoscience.

### Knowledge of Arts, Culture, and Communication Skills

As a socialite, Anita is experienced with practicing and maintaining social formalities and cues that are expected in high society of both Italy and India. Her vast memory and knowledge of culture from both sides of her family allow her to be familiar with works of art, which is shown when she was able to deduce the location of Trish's final stop as Venice from a reference to a known Venetian work used as a clue. She is also mentioned to be a great classical musician, as Zura mentioned her ability to play by ear, and her home is revealed to be full of antique instruments she collected over the years. It was also mentioned that she was going to pursue a degree in Music Theory and Public Relations after her marriage and birth of her child but never ended up pursuing either after the death of both her husband and daughter.

Outside of general missions, Anita's knowledge in navigating the upper class of Naples allows her to serve as a liaison for negotiations and had allowed the team to earn connections and benefits from higher-ups. Paolo Bucciarati mentioned once how Anita's abilities to speak led The Hitman Team to increase their wages compared to similar teams and and her "smooth talking" led her team to be punish less severely than his after Sorbetto and Stracciatello were caught trying to identify the Boss.
