02Appearance
Sheila E. is a young and svelte Italian girl. She has long dark hair, a part of which is tied into several long, lighter colored, braids. She is described to have scars all over her face which do not seem to bother her. A distinct eight-pointed scar covers her left eye.↗↗

03Personality
Sheila E. is introduced as a frank teenage girl. She doesn't chew her words and harshly criticizes Fugo for abandoning his team. Despite her indiscipline, it seems she fulfilled her role well as liaison between Passione and La Squadra Esecuzioni. Sheila E. prefers to take the most direct solution to any problem, typically destroying anything inconvenient.↗↗
Sheila E. possesses a strong moral code, hating evildoers and worshipping charismatic moral people like Giorno. infiltrated Passione, planning to kill Illuso while also asking for permission from the Boss. Consequently, she feels that she owes Giorno for killing Illuso and obediently follows his commands. Because of her Manichean view about right and wrong, Sheila E. has a psychological limit in that she cannot bring herself to attack someone she deems "more right" than she is.↗↗
Taking failure poorly, Sheila E. has a tendency to place herself further into danger to atone for any perceived failure on her part. She is also shown to be faithful in her allegiances and will do whatever it takes to execute orders from Giorno and Mista. Showing no mercy to anyone who stops her, the E in her alias stands for "Erinni" after the Italian variation of Erinyes, the Greek goddesses of revenge.↗↗↗

05Story
SPOILERS
Born Scilla Capezzuto, Sheila E. joined Passione in order to get revenge on Illuso, who killed her sister, Clara. She later takes the Sheila E. moniker after the goddesses of vengeance, Erinni. A merciless fighter, she crushed the Miranza gang at 10 years old, taking their casinos in Rome for Passione. For this deed, she was promoted to be one of the Boss 's bodyguards. She was also in contact with the assassination team, even though contact between teams is normally forbidden.↗↗↗↗
After Giorno Giovanna takes over Passione, he told her how Illuso died, preventing her from fully being able to take revenge. She accepted it as a just punishment and felt a deep sense of debt to Giorno. Later on, she became one of of Giorno's bodyguards.↗↗
Purple Haze Feedback
To redeem herself, she is sent on a mission to take out the Sezione Droghe alongside Pannacotta Fugo and Cannolo Murolo. Unbeknownst to her, Giorno had entrusted her on the mission to find her own courage to retreat herself instead of throwing herself at any danger and needlessly sacrifice herself.↗↗
Meeting Fugo and Murolo
In the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza soccer stadium in Milan, six months after the events of Vento Aureo, Guido Mista meets up with Fugo who is escorted by Sheila E. During Mista and Fugo's conversation, Sheila E. is commanded to cover her ears, preventing her from listening about the true story of Giorno's takeover of Passione in the last six months.↗
Arriving in Taormina
The three continue their investigation in the Strait of Messina while a labors' strike - presumably ordered by Passione - leaves the port as a ghost town. At a warehouse, Sheila E. unveils her Voodoo Child which can turn anything into pairs of lips that uncovers anyone has said, thought, or felt in the vicinity. Fugo recognizes one of the lips' voices as Volpe's and it repeatedly utters the words "obey you". Sheila E.↗
While tracking down the scent, Sheila E. thinks that whoever threw up was under the influence of Volpe's stand. Suddenly, a flattened Mario Zucchero appears from the ground and ambushes her before a brief fight ensues. She uses her Stand to give Zucchero lips to which he only repeats that he "has to move". Suddenly, his body explodes to dust. She realizes that Zucchero had been a bait to lure her away from Fugo and Murolo.↗
Teatro Greco
Sheila E. soon hears Fugo's screams and rushes to Teatro Greco where Murolo and Kocaqi await her. She immediately unveils Voodoo Child and attacks Kocaqi who barely avoids her Stand's fists. Kocaqi's wounds turn into lips which speaks in his dead sister Amelia's voice instead of his own. He claims that he has no guilt from his past, making him immune to Voodoo Child's abilities.↗
Ambush in Ortygia
On the helicopter flying over the Ionian Sea, Fugo suddenly asks Sheila E. what she would do if she found herself surrounded by strange men, whereas she bluntly replies that she would only ignore them. The question catches her off guard, so she tries to ask Fugo something before stopping herself. Murolo notes the awkward silence and tries to lift the mood by pestering the helicopter pilot to lower the altitude.↗
Temple of Apollo
Volpe continuously tortures Sheila E. with Manic Depression to call out for Fugo, but she is too weak to answer due to his fingers around her throat and nearly passes out. In her last thoughts, she only thinks of her sister Clara. Suddenly, she is saved when Volpe's hand is cut off by Fugo, who finally appears to confront him.↗
A dumbfounded Sheila E. can only watch as Volpe's body evaporates into the wind. Murolo appears in the temple, noting that Stand users reflect their own Stands, which is how Purple Haze had evolved into a new form due to Fugo's resolve. Despite her weak state, he remarks that she only has a few broken bones and that she will survive. She wonders how Murolo is still alive but was too exhausted to think, later passing out. Meanwhile, Nightbird Flying flies into the moon and vanishes.↗
