Giorno Giovanna/Personality and Relationships

Personality
"He has totally inherited the spirit of the Joestar Bloodline!!"

- Koichi Hirose

Giorno began as an unhappy and lonely child until he befriended a gangster. Since then, he has become a more confident person. His clever mind helps him and the rest of Buccellati's gang get out of tough situations, as well as helping him win the support of its most stubborn members. While he may seem to be a troublemaker at times, he has a good heart and wants to help out anybody who has shown him kindness. Of course, he has no trouble punishing those that needlessly and intentionally hurt other people, as shown when he ruthlessly engineers Polpo's death because the latter was lax in letting his stand automatically kill the janitor nearby.

Family

 * Dio Brando: While Giorno has never been shown interacting with his birth father, he has been shown to value his birth father to some degree, as his wallet was revealed to contain a photograph of Dio.
 * Jonathan Joestar: Unknown to even Giorno, his biological ancestory comes from Johnathan's DNA, as Dio conceived him using Johnathan's body, this allows Giorno to gain the Joestar Birthmark.


 * Mother (surname Shiobana): Giorno's mother had seldom cared for him when he was a child, viewing him as a hindrance to her party life and left him in the dark, where he was too scared to even cry.


 * Stepfather (surname Giovanna): Initially, Giorno's stepfather would often beat the child Giorno when his mother was away. This changes after Giorno meets the gangster, after which the stepfather was likely intimidated out of trying to beat Giorno again.

Friends

 * Bruno Buccellati: Giorno and Bruno met as enemies, but Giorno deduces from the flaws in Bruno's tactics against him that Bruno was a good person and decided to work with him. From that point on, the two have formed a relationship of mutual trust, even with Giorno unconditionally accepting that Bruno will not help him if he is found out as an enemy of Passione.
 * Guido Mista: Mista is one of the nicer people initially to Giorno in the gang when he first joins and is quick to grow to him seeing Giorno in action alongside them. The two frequently team up together and have alot of faith in each other's abilities, at one point combining their stand powers in a moment of doubt to capture a Helicopter. By the end of the manga Mista and Giorno are perhaps closer friends than the rest and continue their work together in the gang when Giorno takes over as boss.
 * Narancia Ghirga:


 * Pannacotta Fugo:


 * Leone Abbachio: Abbachio is one highly suspicious toward Giorno's presence in the gang, even going as far as to deny Giorno to see his stand in use while he tries to interrogate an enemy, during which time Giorno passively takes the abuse and tries to act in cooperation. During the battle with Illuso however, Abbachio tries to sacrifice himself to allow Giorno to retreive the key to the turtle shell and get it to the rest, and later shows a begruding respect for him when he defies this and stays to save the lives of all the members involved in the battle.


 * Trish Una: The two don't interact as much, but Trish is seen to believe in Giorno's ability, and likewise Giorno sees potential in her as he leaves her with a new hand for him during the battle with Notorious B.I.G., a gambit which could have cost him the use of his stand if she had failed to return it to him and Buccellati. They are also both the youngest members of the gang and remain together as part of new Passione with Mista and Polnareff..


 * Jean Pierre Polnareff: Polnareff, after his body switch, becomes a guardian for the stand arrow and stays with Giorno and the new led Passion with the rest.
