PERSONALITY:

Life’s hard when you’re a plot device.

Trish is the daughter of the boss of Passione, a gang of superpowered crime boys based in Italy. Her father only learned of her existence very recently before the death of her mother. Because keeping his identity secret at all costs is vitally important to him and characters in the Jojo universe have the ability to sense their blood relatives he demands that the main characters bring his daughter safely to him in order to keep her from being kidnapped and used to uncover his identity.

All this is to say that Trish is Special. Not because of anything she’s done or because of any particular trait of her own, but because of whose daughter she is. This colours her interactions with most of the other characters as well as her growth as a person. Because while she’s absolutely happy to use Being Special as a tool to protect herself, she actually kind of hates it.

Early on, she’s quick to use her connection to the guy who decides if everyone lives or dies to keep herself safe. Kidnapped and left in the custody of six guys who she doesn’t know, she assets her position as someone who cannot be touched by acting like a spoiled princess, demanding frivolous things like expensive mineral water, makeup and magazines. When Fugo says that he would die to protect her, she demands he takes his shirt off so she can use it to wipe her hands. And this isn’t all an act - she is kind of a little bit like that, but she’s definitely playing it up to fit their expectations of the kind of person who they’ll regret messing with.

It takes a while for the facade to crack, but it does. She hasn’t grown to trust her captors or even to speak with them at all when an attack strikes the whole group but is easiest on her as their assailants want her to survive. Despite receiving orders to use the group’s limited ice, which can be used to protect oneself from the effects of the attack, to protect herself and despite not liking or trusting these people at all she instead chooses to use it to tend to one of her captors/bodyguards.

Deep down, you see, she wants to protect others. She’s the only one without powers for a long time and despite this she does her best to keep her teammates safe. Even threatened by an invincible enemy, she chooses to risk her life to ensure that her injured teammates will be able to recover. She almost achieves this by cleverness alone, using her environment to move safely past the foe, but eventually her need to protect her friends results in her developing powers of her own.

She’s clever and perceptive, being one of two people to catch on to the fact that something was wrong with Bruno and the only person to manage to figure it out without the insight that Giorno had due to being the one to heal him. She’s worked out from the start that her father doesn’t want her brought to him for her own safety and that he probably means to kill her, and she successfully tricks the team into believing that she can have them killed if they mess with her and later tricks her father into believing that he’s immune to bullets when in truth she simply kept them from hitting him. She’s also hungry for knowledge, demanding information from Bruno even knowing he can’t give it to her and trying to gather information for herself by demanding to be let out of the turtle that the team keeps her in.

But back to that whole ‘hating being treated as special’ thing. The thing is that despite that not-quite-an-act early on, Trish doesn’t like her life being treated as worth more than anyone else’s. In fact, she resents it. To the point that because Bruno died for her, despite caring deeply about him, she finds herself unable to say anything positive about him to his own mourning mother. She sees people sacrificing themselves for her or otherwise trying to keep her safe as selfish and as making choices for her without her say-so. She’s guilty about feeling this way, she sees it as ungrateful, but she does. At the end of Purple Haze Feedback, it’s revealed that Giorno has been continuing to make efforts to keep her safe and to keep her from being involved in the gang he now leads. She hates it and hates him for it, despite acknowledging that he’s doing the right thing for good reasons.

Because it’s isolating. All of the times that she’s been able to really talk to her companions have been while fighting alongside them and protecting them as they’ve protected her. She opens up because she really wants to kill her dad, but also because she has information that will allow her to actually be of use to the people around her rather than just something they’re keeping safe. There are two major instances of one of her teammates accidentally or unthinkingly grabbing her breasts that illustrate this (because it wouldn’t be Jojo if I could pull examples that DON’T involve something weird. In the first, she doesn’t react at all. In the second, later on and fighting alongside her teammates as an equal, she makes a whole scene of it, speaking her mind and eventually crying to another teammate because she’s been accused of wearing a pushup bra. Being treated as if she needs to be protected pushes her back toward the former and, in her mother’s absence, isolates her from the only people left alive who care about her.

POWERS/ABILITIES: Trish is a Stand user, which means that her FIGHTING SPIRIT manifests as a creature named Spice Girl. Spice Girl is quick and strong, able to punch a plane apart, but her main strength is her ability to soften objects.

Any material that Trish or Spice Girl can touch with her hands, she can soften. These objects still work as they ought to (a clock still ticking, for example) but become rubbery and can squash and stretch infinitely, making them indestructible. She can return these objects to normal at will, and seems to have some control over whether they keep whatever shape they’ve been bent into or snap back into their old shape.

Spice Girl can only be seen by other stand users, though in practice this would probably extend to people with supernatural powers in general.

She’s also a professional singer and has had enough training in self defence to protect herself from a knife attack and turn it back on its wielder.

INVENTORY: One bottle of fancy mineral water, rest of inventory slots taken up by general makeup items.

MOONBLESSING: Sanguis
