TROYBOI

TROYBOI the Stand of Anita Cicchetti in Fate of Zephyr.

## Appearance

TROYBOI resembles a purple Tetrameles tree that can grow in great heights, using its roots to move when necessary. When performing Homunculus Generation, humanoid fetuses will begin growing from the branches. The fetuses have no notable features beyond being covered in slick-like sap while being created and can either be dropped by the Stand or plucked from it. The homunculus resembles a light red-colored android when developing. Unlike the original junior, it quickly develops into a full adult stage and disintegrates into dust once the user is done using it or is killed off.

The Stand can also transform the user into blocks if the user dies. As a result of the Stand, the user ended up having unnatural yellow irises, resembling the yellow eyes Junior had before.

## Personality

As a tree, TROYBOI has no defined personality nor does its creations have any traits. However, it is protective against its user, as it was seen encapsulating Anita when she first awoken from gaining her Stand, sending the homunculi to guard the Stand as well, and would only reveal its user to Zura Grattachecca when the latter was able to convince the Stand to do so.

Unlike the original Juniors, the homunculi are mindless and bloodthirsty from the start. They are set to only destroy the enemy, whether ordered to by the user or provoked to do so, and have no additional powers beyond its physical limitations. Relentless and violent, they will not stop their attacks or pursuits unless they are destroyed. Andreas Arancini once mentioned how loud and ravenous they can get, and often reminded the team to stay away from Anita when she brings out the homunculi during any fight.

Despite only attacking and pursuing, they are deeply loyal to Anita, stopping only if she commands them to, and are seen protecting her from whoever they deem as a threat. However, due to their blind rage, they have the potential to harm others who get in their way, including their user, until they actually notice.

## Abilities

TROYBOI is considered to be a recreation of Babyface as a result of its user being fused together with the latter. However, there are some differences between the two Stands.

### Lalaach

As a rebirth version of Babyface, TROYBOI has the ability to create homunculi clones that serve as mindless attack dogs and can be controlled remotely at far distances, allowing the user to telepathically track them. Unlike junior, the homunculi have no additional abilities or intellect, as they serve merely as mindless entities to attack whatever the user wants or when provoted, and cannot be used for tracking. As a result, they are easily killed with one critical hit or injury to vital areas of their bodies such as their chest and head and they pose a high risk for attacking unneccessarily. They are also smaller and appear more alien-like. However, unlike Babyface, TROYBOI is able to supply multiple clones at a time at a faster rate.

The clones start by growing from the Stand's branches and develop in real time before falling off and standing upright. Like Babyface, TROYBOI requires a vial of bodily liquid from a biological male in order to start procreating for the next 12 hours, which Anita can either consume or inject into herself in order to activate her Stand. Unlike Babyface, the genetic composition or astrological status of the male is arbitrary.

### Mantra

As the former surrogate of Melone's last junior, Anita adopted the original homunculus's ability to manipulate matter. However, this is only shown when Anita dies, as her Stand begins disentigrating her body similar to how the original Junior absorbed the original Anita. Her body turns into 1 inch blocks that float up and eventually merge with whatever matter that is around her, as Clara E. witnessed in St Mark's Campanile and Zura Grattachecca saw as the rest of the team sailed away.

## Trivia

* While the Stand is based on TroyBoi's work overall, it is heavily inspired by the album cover art of *Left is Right*, which creator Marwan Shahin drew to represent the Hindu goddess Kali stealing tree's heart in order to stop it from creating more "music industry clones" while a guardian dragon also tries to stop her.
	+ Initially, the Stand was going to be only named "Left is Right" to reference the album only, but later altered to be "TROYBOI" to reference all the work created by the artist.
	+ *Left is Right* takes a lot of inspiration from TroyBoi's identity as Nigerian-Portuguese and Indian-Chinese, as the album references his heritage, especially his Indian side. According to TroyBoi, the album was to represent the subversion of experimental trap and show his abilities in mixing various styles along with his culture.
* The Tetrameles tree that TROYBOI is represented as is a large deciduous tree notably found in India and is known for its outgrowing roots and hollow center, the latter explaining how Anita is capable of being encased in the Stand.
* The abilities of TROYBOI are in references to songs TroyBoi has made as singles or as part of his EPs and albums.
	+ Lalaach, or लालच, is a Hindi word to describe with greed, desire, and longing. It is known for being one of the songs in TroyBoi's EP *V!bez Vol. 2*.
	+ Mantra is defined as "a word or sound repeated to aid concentration in meditation". The tour TroyBoi participated in is known as The Mantra Tour, and "Mantra" is one of the songs featured in *Left is Right*.
