03Personality
Although she was considered a very beautiful woman, she was by no means a good mother, having left her infant son alone in the middle of the night to enjoy partying. She valued her "freedom" and was not willing to stay home with her son, wanting to live her life as she did before he was born. It is unknown if she was aware of her husband beating Giorno, but it is noted he only did so while she was not around.↗↗
In the anime, it is shown that her apartment is rather messy while she is out partying, and that she brushes off her friend's comment about leaving Giorno alone there.↗↗
04Story
SPOILERS
Sometime before the events of Stardust Crusaders, this Japanese woman was involved with the newly resurrected DIO and unexpectedly became pregnant with Giorno. Women were mere tools or food to DIO, so it's unknown how she managed to avoid becoming his food. She moved back to Japan in 1985 to give birth to Giorno. She was subsequently prevented from being killed due to DIO's defeat at the hands of Jotaro.↗↗↗↗
When Giorno became 4, she married an Italian man and became an Italian citizen by marriage, moving her and her son to Naples in Italy. In the anime, a scene is added showing her new husband convincing Giorno to be in their wedding photos as his mom is waiting for him, which are later seen at their house in Italy. However, her husband was a violent man who would hit the child behind her back, only stopping after Man X began looking out for Giorno.↗↗↗↗
The Speedwagon Foundation would later discover around the year 2000 that DIO could have fathered a child. In the anime, it is shown that Jotaro is investigating her and her husband in relation to Haruno. By the beginning of Vento Aureo, it is shown that Giorno is living in a dorm at his high school rather than with his family.↗↗↗↗
