About
Apparently, Giulia’s personality is portrayed as sweet and kind. She’s a young girl with a really good vivacity of thought, and she’s appreciated for this by her friends, even though they think that sometimes they reproach her for her know-it-all tendency, which often may be heard using a very complex and articulate language, which doesn’t hesitate to use obsolete terms. Most of people don't understand some words but an embarassed Giulia tries to tone down the language, even if with alternate upcomes. Giulia, despite her young age, tries her best to act more mature than she actually is but she still unconsciously retains an innocence typical of her age, mostly expressed by her love for plushies, with which she still sleeps with. She’s a daydreamer, and she wishes to publish a book written all by herself which subject, however, always changes due to her indecision to settle down for an argument.
Her dreams and readings inspire Giulia to reach her own ideals, which bring out in her a lot of insecurities that escalate into paranoias, that sometimes occupy her mind that she couldn't think about anything else while on her own. She's so obsessed with being a good person and intellectual that she thinks that being perfect is the only way to be properly accepted by everyone, so when the heir of Villarosa feels frustrated she can act prissy to others, sometimes unjustifiably. When she realizes her errors, she feels guilty and apologizes to everyone, intimately mortified to have projected her insicurities into others, which she cares a lot. Giulia just wants to be a good and well-known writer like her father, and her main fear is to fail in her intent, as well as not being able to provide to her feud, the small land of Roseville, placed on the South-East of Mushroom Kingdom in the future. She lives there among with her family and few friends but, she sometimes leaves, travelling among the Mushroom Kingdom, often even abroad, along her mother in order to help her father during the revision of the Mushroom Encyclopedia, as well as an occasion to learn about the culture.
Overall, she seems to also enjoy some small physical pleasures, often in her frilly dresses and good cuisine, especially her mother's or some new places.
Despite participating to sport events, because her mother's concerns about her health, Giulia is not too fond of these activities: she overall defines them as a waste of a time, which she could spend reading or developing her culture. However,she enjoys driving karts and she recently found an interest into learning sports' rules and by being a referee during sports event, even if she dreads applying herself physically to them. She also can't swim or riding a bike.

Family
Mother
Marianna Gambini Merlani: an active and eccentric noblewoman of Italian origins (as her husband) who loves gala festivities and going to adventure. Sociable woman, she talks very easily with everyone and often discovers interesting things for her husband by gossiping.
She loves dearly her husband, who married against her parents’ wishes, and can be very jealous of him, and adores her daughter spoiling and being overprotective towards her. Even if she isn’t a cultured woman, (and so she doesn’t understand what her husband and daughter truly adore), she follows Giulia on her adventures, mostly to know new people and try new experiences. She also forces her daughter to do sports, even if she doesn’t enjoy them, to keep her in good health.
Father
Ernesto Merlani: the current Marquis, is a quiet and calm man, who’s a well-known intellectual, writer and philosopher in the Mario World. Actually he works between Princess Peach’s library and, with some collaborators, he’s doing an audit for the Encyclopaedia of his world. Sometimes Giulia helps him contributing with some voices, or going to adventure, with the help of her mother, to learn more about some cultures. He loves dearly and cares both on the wife and the daughter, and sometimes is worried about sending them to adventure, even if they don’t risk anything dangerous, and is an affectionate father to Giulia, who took from him the passion of culture and literature, and genuinely admires and respects him, wanting to be like him.
Grandmother
Lucrezia Pallotta Gambini: Marianna's mother. From her the daughter inherited her notorious passion for parties and loquacity, even if she wasn't overproctetive mother, unlike how Marianna actually is. She regretted, unlike her deceased husband Alcide, being hostile to her daughter's wedding with Ernesto, because she thought that she was too young to being married (when Giulia's mother married she was 19), and she didn't like her son in law's character and his family's economical status, but after she realized their strong bond, she accepted the union and started to visit the family often and raised the daughter with her parents.
Actually she continues to visit her family, and genuinely cares for her granddaughter, even if she doesn't agree with her dreams, which she doesn't really understand.
Friends and Acquaintances
Albert: A cheerful and optimistic Toad, as well as Merlani's home butler, always willing to help when needed. It’s a pity, however, that he’s mushroom rather distracted by everything that passes it in front of his eyes, and he doesn’t seem to be a smart Toad.
He often annoys Giulia and Ernesto by putting in disorder the library, trying to do the opposite, while Marianna completely adores him, with whom he delights to read female magazines and gossip around whoever they know.
Lately, however, he is even more distracted than usual, because in his thoughts (and not) he has fallen in love with Adelaide, a wealthy family girl, to which he declared at least a dozen times, receiving each time an absolute rejection by her.
Flavio: An old magikoopa, whose true name is Flavius, who is wise and educated. He was first assumed as a tutor to Ernesto, and later to Giulia. He helps the Marquis in his mission of completing the review of the Mushroom Encyclopedia, and the same time as his daughter, helping her to find her inner way and write her book. He is a rather sticky character, apparently, but has well-formed ideals as well as homogeneous to those of the family for which he works in mutual respect, and is strongly committed to divulging them into the Mushroom Kingdom.
During his long life, he wrote two politics books, but they weren't succesfull in the Mushroom Kingdom, because they were considered too complicated and heavy to be appreciated by an average reader.
During his youth he lived in the Dark Land in the court of Bowser's father, but soon fled away from his native land to take refuge in the Mushroom Kingdom, due to the strong ideological contrast between his and the government's official thinking, And for this reason he doesn't want to be compared to the King of Koopa's thugs in any way.
Adelaide: a fascinating Toadette who shares the same age of Giulia, to which the Spirits of the Stars gave a generally frivolous and spoiled character, though not incapable of sensitivity. Daughter of the current owners of the Rose Ville, she believes that she’s the most powerful girl in the area, although it is not true, as the Merlanis are the true owners of the area.
Between her and Giulia, her first and best friend, there is a good friendship marked however by numerous writhes, arising from their dualism between the ostentatious materialism of the young mushroom and the ubiquitous spiritual dimension in the thoughts of the Marquise. In the Roseville region, there also some speaks that in the heart of the girl there is always a veil of sadness. Various gossips, in fact, claim that often near her imposing palace the girl is heard crying, but such indiscretions were immediately denied by Adelaide.
An her recurrent dream is to find an ideal guy to marry: she’s craving to find a rich Toad, who's noble, intelligent, beautiful, brave, gentle but a bit tough, possessing at least five karts to carry her around the Mushroom Kingdom, to give her a gift every day, and so on. I omit the rest of the list because otherwise it would be too long!
Desdemona: A small and cute boo, that Giulia's first met during one of her travels, and the daughter of the Merlanis’ housekeeper that is currently far from her mother because she’s studying in an ancient and prestigious college for young boos. She’s a timid and rather awkward ghost, who prefers the company of a good book (or a comic) to her companions. She personally knew Giulia during a trip that the Marquise had taken with her mother to find out more about the institution she is staying, for her father. Their love for literature combined them into a feeling of tender friendship, but it’s not developed enough to be called "best friends". At this time, they write long letters where they talk about their readings and the time they run, but sometimes they can see themselves during the breaks of the boo’s studies.
Being a boo, Desdemona and her mother had lost their lives, but both refuse to explain how they died. It’s presumed that they have been killed by the father / husband of the two spirits, who’s still alive, but Giulia and her family don’t know whether it is true or not, given the contradictions that characterize Desdemona's version from that of her mother. She's an appassionate reader of Jane Boosten, and she read all her books almost twice!
Geltrude: She’s the Merlani housekeeper, and Desdemona's mother. She is a pragmatic Boo who is serious about her job, and she loves doing it to her best, being grateful to Marianna, her husband and daughter for helping and give her and her daughter a better life prospect. She now devotes much of her salary to paying her daughter's college, and the little she has left, is used to buy flowers for the garden that Ernesto loves to plant helping her.
However, she can’t bear to keep head of Albert's wickedness, and always remedy every mistake that the little mushroom does, and together with Giulia and Ernesto she reproves him assiduously. In addition, for being grateful to Marianna, she feels compelled to follow her ongoing conversations about the facts of the most known celebrities, but she doesn’t like it at all.
Likes
Culture: Her main passion. Giulia loves knowing everything new and interesting, and always studies hard to be an intellectual woman in the future. Her favourite branches of knowledge, despite she appreciates them all, are the philosophy and the literature.
Cute dresses and ribbons: Despite being mainly a studious person, the marquise truly appreciates dressing well, and so enjoys being feminine, and the ribbons she puts often in her clothes are the proof of that. A little trivia: Giulia doesn't have true blue eyes, which true color is dark brown, she uses contacts, for being more similar to other humans in the Mario world
Chocolate: Often the marquise can show to have fairly sophisticated taste in fact of food, even if she likes to try food of other ethnicities, but if there is something eatable that can always send her in ecstasy is the chocolate, that eats every day.
Writing: This is the activity that Giulia enjoys most, the thing that can relax her, and can cheer her up mostly, and this is her speciality, too. But this is a double edging sword: despite she passes most part of her day trying to write her debut book, but she’s never happy with that.
Dislikes
Sports: Despite participating to sport events, by obligation of her mother, Giulia is not too fond to these activities, which she defines as a waste of a time on that she could develop more her culture. But anyway the only exception are karts, which enjoys driving. She also can't swim.
Ignorance: One of Giulia’s main goals, after publishing her book, is to sensitize the Mushroom Kingdom’s habitants of their reign’s culture, or at least, to give a basic instruction to everyone, and can’t stand viewing some of them having one that resent the ridiculous.
Disorder: One of the things that annoys most the young noblewoman, is to find her home messed up, and dirty, so she doesn’t like to work under these conditions. This bother applies to her appearance too.
Drawing: The marquise, even if she loves studying and admiring art masterpieces, doesn’t like drawing, at all. Even if she doesn’t define it as a waste of time, unlike sports, she doesn’t enjoy this because she’s completely denied for it, and seeing her drawings compared to the ones of other princesses or noblewomen, frustrates her.
Personality
Apparently, Giulia’s personality is portrayed as sweet and kind. She’s a girl with a really good vivacity of thought, and she’s appreciated for this by her friends. Often you may hear her using a very complex and articulate language, that doesn’t hesitate to use obsolete terms, that most of people doesn't understand. She’s such a dreamer, and her main wish is to publish a book written all by herself which subject always changes.
But under this good image, the marquise is an insecure girl, or with a proper term, a paranoid one, a person whose goal is the absolute perfection, and often can act prissy to others, expecially when she’s under pressure, even if she doesn’t want to do it on purpose. She just want to be a good and well-known writer like her father, and her main fear is to fail in her intent, and in future to be a bad marquise to her feud, the small land of Roseville, placed on the South-East of Mushroom Kingdom, which visits often with her family, during the year.
When her father sends her and the mother to adventure, she mostly enjoys them, and likes to know about the place she’s visiting, and she loves eating the typical dishes, even if she falls into the vice of gluttony.
