General Appearance: A delicate, graceful girl with aristocratic features; silver/white hair often worn loose down her back in waves, violet eyes and pale skin.
| Clothing: She often wears fashionable, feminine clothing and typically wears skirts, dresses, heels, sandals and boots. She rarely ever wears jeans or sneakers, if at all.
| Personality:
Mia is sweet tempered and charitable. Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and her unique brand of quiet vivacity has won her, at the very least, amicable relations with those she deals with at a regular basis. She is a warm person, driven by the sincere desire to be the best person she could be, though whether she succeeds in this or not has yet to be determined. While mostly quiet, it is not coldly so -- in fact, she can carry on conversations easily, and she has an honest fascination with the lives of others. A voracious reader and an avid classical musician, she is comfortable in being alone with a book or instrument as much as she is in a group. In public, her manners are impeccable and practically Victorian, facing hardships with dignity and grace and rarely is she discourteous. Her family's money afforded her the best education available and she isn't one to squander it or flinch away from its application to her every day life, having grown to prove herself both intelligent and articulate. An observant creature, coupled with her passionate heart, she steps on the fine line between romanticism and pragmatism. Nothing delights her more than to be able to take care of those whom she considers very dear to her, and she is typically easy to please. It takes a lot for her to lose her temper, however while she could be very patient, this has a limit. While she may appear like a delicate milksop, she is surprisingly forthright when expressing her opinion and she has very little patience for the coyness expected from her gender.
While she exudes a soothing presence, she isn't afraid of confrontation, especially if she knows she's right. However, she isn't hard-handed when doing so and more often than not will seek a diplomatic solution to the problem. She is, for lack of a proper term, a cautious optimist, and while she makes an effort to see the best in other people, she also knows that sometimes, there just isn't any. It is rare to see her give up on anything she sets her mind to and her more obvious gentility typically masks the bullish tenacity she applies in risks she deems worth taking.
Her life is one giant juggling act, and finding a balance between being a child and being a woman saddled with heavy responsibilities is a constant struggle. When it gets overwhelming, she becomes quieter than usual -- not because she necessarily likes brooding, but rather she needs to stop and think before moving again to recover that sense of harmony that she feels is essential to her overall well-being. It would not do her any good, after all, to implode due to all of the pressure she places on herself, though there are, of course, some very bad days in which she feels she can't do anything right. There are times in which she becomes resentful - it's not so much that she has a strong sense of justice, but rather that she has a strong sense of fairness. The concept of equity is important to her and being able to take the good and the bad in equal parts. After all, nothing worth having (and, after that, keeping) is easy to get and if there was anything her family's world has taught her, anything worthy always comes with a price.

History:
History:
The Bellacantos are infamous, even in a world full of heroes and villains - not because they are heroes or villains themselves but because their wealth and status in the world are largely determined by the family's defining quirk, and one that is passed down through the generations: Amplification, a rare talent that enables a member of the family to make other quirk-users more powerful. While the ability itself is passive and typically not showcased in international headlines, heroes and villains alike have sought the family's unique services. As a result, the family accumulated even more fortune and influence to add onto its history of being part of La Cosa Nostra (the Sicilian Mafia), enough that it managed to break away from the main body of the criminal organization and gain a significant level of independence; at the time when the family was much larger, it wasn't all that uncommon to find relatives on either sides of a specific hero vs. villain conflict, not for the purposes of fostering healthy competition between family members but to ensure that a Bellacanto was always in the winning side of a battle.
Their success was a double-edged blade. Much like anything worth having, their pride was also the source of the family's downfall. As word spread, tactically-minded combatants always knew to incapacitate or kill the Bellacantos involved in a battle to remove the opponent's advantage, resulting in a rapid decline of the family's numbers, and the stress it caused the bloodline made the quirk all the more rare and difficult to manifest in its subsequent generations. It resulted in a tremendous shift in the family's practices; alliances were carefully scrutinized and negotiated, and marriages to other families meticulously charted and planned to increase the potential of the Amplification quirk appearing in any future offspring.
Growing up in such a ruthless environment, it was perhaps unsurprising that Mia wanted nothing to do with the hero/villain business.
An only child, born to Don Fiorenzo Bellacanto and his Japanese wife, Maya, she lived a life typical of those who came from aristocratic roots. Her childhood was marked by constant travel and education - she divided her time between Italy, Vienna and Japan and was generally at the tender mercies of her private instructors. She learned about languages, history, economics, arts, etiquette and most importantly, how to harness the power of her quirk under the guidance of her grandmother, Nonna Maria. At the early death of her mother, she clung to her nonna's protection aind influence as she was particularly revered within the family structure, and she was the only member of the family who seemed to genuinely care about her as a person, and not just a tool to further its ambitions. Even as a child, she knew what her future held (as Don Fiorenzo was a blunt, intimidating presence in her life, who didn't bother sugar-coating what was expected of her) - all of what she was would be devoted to protecting and increasing the family's influence, and all of what that entails.
But Nonna Maria was there for most of her formative years, providing guidance and love to a lonely child introduced to the family burdens all too early, and getting everything but what she truly needed from her father and other relatives. She taught her to survive the Bellacanto brand of cutthroat family politicking with the grace and aplomb befitting her noble ancestry, reminding her first and foremost that it is necessary to be both gentle and ruthless when protecting oneself. Even as she learned how to play the game, she took solace in music, having taken to the piano and cello early in her much younger years, and diving into opera with gusto, having learned from a Viennese soprano. She fostered dreams about leaving everything behind and becoming a internationally renowned classical musician or opera singer - dreams that she would inevitably keep to herself.
The Bellacantos weren't fooled, however. Given its long history of strife and conflict even before the Amplification quirk appeared in their bloodline, its members can scent rebellion like sharks sensing blood in the water.
When her grandmother died before she turned fifteen, her uncle, Don Lorenzo, and the executor of Nonna Maria's will, delivered upon Mia an ultimatum after years of delicately, but constantly resisting her family's attempts to enter her into a school to further refine and test the extent of her talents, namely that her inheritance would be withheld until she graduated from such an institution with top marks. Bereft of her nonna's protection and upon the realization that it was up to her, now, to find a way to break from the machinations of her family, Mia selected Yuuei Academy - a school on the other side of the world from the heart of the Bellacantos' operations in Sicily and located in her mother's country of birth, hoping that time and distance would enable her to figure out her next move.

Combat, Stats & Earnings:
Combat:
While Mia has learned how to ride a horse, drive a car and fence, she is definitely not a combatant. What enables her from being in any way a damsel in distress, however, is her cleverness. She grew up with and among dangerous, ruthless people who attempt to control her constantly and in order to survive her family, she has out of necessity developed her ability to assess a situation and calculate the best solution to a problem.

| Quirk |
|---|
| Name | Tier | Description | Amplify
| 2
| description Ability: - The user can amplify the strength of another person's quirk. It can also affect one person or multiple.
Limitations:
The user can only amplify another person's quirk, and can't use the power to boost her own quirk.
The user can affect multiple people by tagging them, the range is bound by control, so they can be apart and the quirk will still be in effect, only if it doesn't break the range limit. However, there is no limit to how many targets can be affected.
The quirk user can only boost techniques of the same rank, or lower of their control. And for their target safety and their own, they can only boost a technique up one rank.
The amplified technique will cost the user the price (limit cost) of the bumped technique.
Overdoing the use of this quirk causes a mental strain to the user, suffering a -2 debuff to all of her stats for three posts.

| Description: Mia's main talent is to freely boost the power of any person within a certain range so long as she has given them her Lady's Favor first. Given the concentration required to keep the target quirk-user in that heightened rank, she is rendered defenseless in the process.

| Name Trickster's Parry (C-Rank) T.P Cost: 10 Limit Cost: 10 Type: Defense Range: Melee Stats: -3 Debuff in Accuracy
| Description: Using her lifelong tutelage in fencing combined with her speed and precision, Mia uses her rapier to defend against an incoming strike, tilting her hand so the handguard reflects light and blinds the opponent in the process. Debuff lasts 2 turns.
| Name Trickster's Thorn (C-Rank) T.P Cost: 10 Limit Cost: 10 Type: Offense Range: Melee Stats: -3 Debuff in Speed
| Description: Using her lifelong tutelage in fencing combined with her speed and precision, Mia uses her rapier to strike quickly at an opponent's debilitating pressure point to impede his or her movements. The debuff lasts 2 turns.

| Name Conqueror's Call (B-Rank) T.P Cost: 20 Limit Cost: 20 Type: Offense, Defense Range: Touch, Semi-Long Stats: N/A
| Description: Mia's increase in her Control now enables her to amplify the power of a target's quirk well beyond that target's ability, causing considerable pain and rendering him unable to use his quirk-based techniques for one turn.
| Name Overlord (B-Rank) T.P Cost: 20 Limit Cost: 20 Type: Support Range: Touch, Semi-Long Stats: Debuff -2 stat grades on Accuracy, -1 stat grade on Power for 2 - 3 targets
| Description: A more powerful version of Overwhelm, Mia's trump card in the event that she is caught in a situation where nobody is protecting her or watching her back. She amplifies the quirks of multiple targets past the users' acceptable control levels that she essentially "shorts" them out, resulting in -2 stat grades on Accuracy and -1 stat grade on Power for 3 turns.
