>
> Giovinetta's self-reflection when encountering the Devil

Giovinetta is kind, unassertive, and shy, being naive in worldly affairs as she was confined to the Gustave tower for 14 years. However, she quickly adapts and learns from her trials. Nonetheless, Giovientta is conscious of her station in life as a marriage prize that could secure military power and funding for her family.[?]

As a child, she is shown to be bold, playful and inquisitive; Often taking the lead when playing together with Johannes. After her imprisonment in the tower, she grew gradually more timid and shy, as she felt neglected by the world at large and her dignity trampled by her mother.[?] But she still kept her stubborn streak, and her bold childish side does still come out sometimes, especially in private with her brother. She often chastises herself as being foolish, especially when she does something inappropriate.

She feels generally *helpless*, for one, by the fact that she has no accomplishments of her own, while her brothers are outgrowing her, purely based on their gender.[?] Second, because she does not have the skill nor courage to run away on her own.

As the story progresses, Giovinetta can be sadistic and vengeful, as she expresses visceral pleasure over controlling and tormenting Johannes despite initially despising him for ruining her life. She is also capable of manipulating others, including Henrik Indridson, at the expense of others.[?]

## Biography

As children, Giovinetta and Johannes were inseparable. Shown to be sharing their meals, activities, and living quarters together. "*No one in the world was closer than us.*" They would play chess all night, and Griselda would scold her for playing a boy's game. John was the undisputed champion at chess, but she kept challenging him for weeks until she won.

After accidentally witnessing intimacy between their parents, a 6 year old Giovinetta kissed her brother out of curiosity, and was caught by their mother, Duchess Gustave, and locked away in the tower until her mother dies.[?]

Afterwards, Giovinetta is married off at a young age to an unnamed husband. During the night of their consummation, her husband is horrifically killed by an unknown creature. Subsequently, Giovinetta is confined to the tower again due rumors swirling around the incident, and she is nicknamed the *Lady Devil*: The cursed lady who ate/killed her husband. This results in several more years spent imprisoned in the tower. By the time she's 20, she has "suffered through 14 years of solitude".

Giovinetta becomes aware that the Devil possessing her mother's ancestry, the Ducommun Line, has vital consequences. Nonetheless, once Giovinetta is informed by her father, the Duke Valdemar, that her remarriage to Lord Indridson was inevitable, she breaks open a coffin to prevent this. As a result, the Devil inside Johannes's violently awakens.[?]

At the beginning of her second marriage to Lord Indridson, she gradually adjusted to her newfound and delightful freedom as the mistress of the castle that sharply contrasted the 14 years she spent confined in Gustave castle. However, Giovinietta still noted parallels between Gustave and Indridson castle in being forced to endure and entertain others. During the banquet, Henrik tells Giovinietta that his father's wives were killed because they became romantically entangled with another man before he publicly kisses her, sneering at her to endure before being taken away. Following this incident, the severity of Giovinietta's beatings increased for progressively minute matters. Eventually, she begins hallucinating that it is actually Johannes's beating her and is alarmed when he visits her in Indridson castle.[?]
