This page lists tropes applying to the canon characters in this series of fanfiction.
    Hitomi 

Hitomi Zeppeli (Stand: Ace of Cups)note 

Hypothetical Casting Choice: Abby Trott (English) Houko Kuwashima (Japanese)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scc_hitomi.png
"If I had a wish... it's to have the power to protect people. I want to be stronger, so I can heal their pain... It would be a wonderful wish."
Click here to see her Stand (and appearance) pre-rewrite. 

A young girl descended from Will Zeppeli. Born small and sick, she mysteriously gained her Stand. She uses her newfound powers to accompany the Joestar Group to Egypt. Her Stand represents (and is named after) The Ace of Cups of the Minor Arcanum.

Ace of Cups allows Hitomi to passively heal herself at an increased rate. It wields a ribbon wand for that same purpose that can be used on herself or others. Despite its healing abilities, it also makes for a strong weapon. It's tough enough to protect Hitomi from most physical attacks. It naturally also makes for a good ranged weapon, also allowing Hitomi to use it to grab onto things.

For Cardigans' abilities, see here.
  • Adaptational Superpower Change: In-game, Cardigans can cure any status effects and even revive KO'd characters to full health. Here, its abilities are more limited: the Stand can still easily heal most injuries, but it cannot restore the blood that was lost during the fight.
  • Anger Born of Worry: Since she's a mother by Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, she has moments of this in whenever she realizes Joel is in danger, especially during the fights with Def Leppard and Sheer Heart Attack, where she's separated from him.
  • Beware the Nice Ones / Good Is Not Soft: Hitomi is the most sensitive and caring member of the group. If pushed too far, she can get quite angry and harshly punish her enemies. Steely Dan learns this the hard way in Star-Crossed Crusaders.
  • Berserk Button: She cannot stand seeing someone threaten and/or harm children. This even extends to Iggy, as despite Boingo being their enemy, she stops Iggy's attack on him and heals both of them. She also feels rage at Dio when Boingo tells her that he and Oingo would be killed if they revealed Dio's location.
  • Big Good: Shares this trope with Jotaro in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain onward. Some of the characters call her "Ms. Hitomi", similar to how Jotaro is referred to as "Mr. Jotaro".
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: In the original 7SU fanfic, she winds up under Mariska's control via Shocking Blue in order to lure and attack Kakyoin and Avdol. Though given the circumstances that led to it, this also has her in a playboy bunny outfit for the duration of it, which can double as Fan Disservice given the situation.
  • Catchphrase: Doubling as Gratuitous Italian, she tends to say "Mamma Mia" every now and then.
  • Cigarette of Anxiety: Shares one with Jotaro in the original after the Steely Dan fight.
  • Combat Medic: Capable of fighting and healing with her stand.
  • Combination Attack: Performs one with Jotaro on Steely Dan, appropriately called Beat to Death in 7th Stand User.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Has two, with each one before the events of the first two stories she appears in.
    • In Star-Crossed Crusaders, while she had loving parents, it's later revealed in Chapter 26 of the original (and is shown to still be canon even post-rewrite) that her self esteem issues and Berserk Button among other things were caused by Shiori Shiobana after Hitomi tried to confront her about how she treated Haruno/Giorno.
    • Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain reveals in chapter 29 that Hitomi growing apart from Jotaro was completely out of her control, as she and her family had to go into hiding in Italy because of the Natale Wedding Massacre, as her family was being targeted by Passione. This ultimately ended in her father's death, which would later make Hitomi want revenge on his killer.
  • Deadly Doctor: This applies to her Stand, as what it uses to heal can also be used as a pretty strong weapon.
  • Doomed by Canon: Not Hitomi herself, but her attempt to escape to her relatives in Morioh with a young Giorno/Haruno ends up being this.
  • Exactly What I Aimed At: Deliberately misses Tabasaki with her attack in the original version to hit some steel beams that fall on him.
  • Friendless Background: Due to being ill as child, she constantly missed school that she was never able to form real friendships until she met the Joestar Group.
  • Girly Bruiser: She may be on the peppy side, but her stand can still deliver fierce attacks. This overlaps with Beware the Nice Ones as mentioned above.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: In the original version, she briefly gets a case of this during the ruse against Midler, just like in the game.
  • Healing Factor: Before properly manifesting for the first time, both Cardigans and Ace of Cups served as this, instantly healing Hitomi's minor injuries.
  • Innocently Insensitive: In the rewrite of Star-Crossed Crusaders, she's the one to do this with Enya instead of Polnareff thanks to him wandering into the fog hotel's bar.
  • Kiai: "URYA!"
  • Mama Bear: With her being a mother starting with the sequel, she's very protective of Joel. This goes hand in hand with her Berserk Button. For instance, she stomps on Otoishi's face even though he had already been defeated since Joel was out of her sight when Koichi alerted her and Jotaro that Otoishi had boarded the Traffic.
  • Martyr Without a Cause: The reason she's eager to help the Joestar Group is because she wants to be someone useful and to uphold the Zeppeli family's legacy. She even senselessly puts herself in danger and sacrifices herself to the point where her friends call her out on it.
  • Meaningful Rename: Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain shows that her surname is now Bongiovi. This is later shown to be because he married Vincent Bongiovi to further conceal her identity when he was helping Hitomi and her family hide from Passione in Italy. Even after he died, she kept the name to honor him.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In the original 7SU fanfic, her helping Polnareff and interfering the fight with Hol Horse leads to Avdol getting fatally shot. He gets better.
  • Older Than They Look: Despite being really short, she's the same age as Jotaro, making her a Foil to him in terms of their appearances contrasting their age at the time of their first stories.
  • Panty Thief: Confesses to Kakyoin that she sometimes steals and wears her sister's panties in the original.
  • Prone to Tears: As an emotional person, she tends to cry when she's sad or angry.
  • Shrinking Violet: Downplayed. Has self-esteem issues and is initially shy, but she's more outgoing when she's around familiar people and by the end of the story, she has outgrown this.
  • The Smurfette Principle: Ends up being the only female member of The Joestar Group in Star-Crossed Crusaders.
  • Stock Shoujo Heroine: Despite coming from a fanfic based on a shounen manga, Hitomi displays this trope's associated traits: a very Nice Girl towards others, is The Heart of the main group and falls in love easily. It gets deconstructed and she is subjected to multiple Break the Cutie moments where she's punished for being naive and innocent. By the end, though, she remained kind and incorruptible.
  • Unexplained Recovery: Her recovery from pneumonia in the first chapter of Star-Crossed Crusaders is treated like this In-Universe.
  • Unreliable Narrator: In chapter 6 of Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo, it's said everyone she knew in Morioh knew she was headed for Italy with Koichi, including Julia. Chapter 11 reveals that she lied to her mother that she was going to what seems to be another part of Japan. Considering the last time Hitomi's family was in Italy, it's implied she also lied to the Kurosawa household at the very least, since Okuyasu and Fubuki are said to have quipped on Italian food.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, her, Jotaro and Rohan being in on the act of keeping Sion's survival a secret unknowingly ended up being a major catalyst leading up to the When Doves Cry arc, considering what When Doves Cry was shown to be born from. Of all the characters this trope applied to, she's hit with the hardest adverse effect, since seeing the water clone of her dead father is what made her want revenge on his killer, which the following story confirms.

    Jotaro Kujo 

Jotaro Kujo (Stand: Star Platinum)

For tropes applying to Jotaro originally, see here.
Just like on his main page, Beware of spoilers up to Part 6.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: While he's still a delinquent and a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Jotaro shows more Pet the Dog moments. Justified because the story's world is born from Made in Heaven's collapse, so Jotaro's personality had been altered a bit as a result.
  • Adaptational Skill: He learns a bit of Hamon in the original version of Star-Crossed Crusaders.
  • Adaptation Expansion: In Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo, he is implied to have a bigger role than he did originally, as he gets another scene when Lisa Lisa phones him about the Lampad, which also reveals he knows of the existence of witches.
  • Broken Pedestal: Jotaro respected his father, until he found out that Sadao was cheating on his wife/Jotaro's mother with another woman.
  • Momma's Boy: When he was a child, he was devoted to and protective of his mother Holly. At one point, he tries to protect her from a mugger, but gets beaten up instead.
  • Not So Stoic: A downplayed example, but in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, he keeps his composure for the entirety of his time with the water clone of Kakyoin during the When Doves Cry arc until he sees the Kakyoin clone fading away at the end, where he has tears in his eyes for the first time in years as they bid each other goodbye.
  • Papa Wolf: Shows this trait in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain when one of the delinquents at the start scares his daughter. He gives him a big enough dose of Tranquil Fury to get them to back off.
  • The Comically Serious: He has moments in the stories where he has some humorous moments of his own. One example is from Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain when he gives suggestions to his daughter of what she could do when he has to leave:
    Jotaro: Read a book, watch a movie, play with your stuffed beluga whale, or pester the hotel staff. Actually, don't do that last part.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: His expanded backstory showed that he used to be a model student for the sake of making his mother happy and doesn't want her to worry that he's being bullied.
  • Traumatic Superpower Awakening: A downplayed one, but in the original version of Star-Crossed Crusaders, Star Platinum's ability to stop time is foreshadowed much earlier than before when it subconsciously activiates when Jotaro is rushing to save an incapacitated Kakyoin from the Collapsing Lair caused by Joey's attempt at Taking You with Me.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: In Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, just like with Hitomi and Rohan, he was also in on the act of keeping Sion's survival a secret, which had a hand leading up to the When Doves Cry arc. He meets a water clone of Kakyoin, but being exposed to the rain again causes a water clone of Dio to appear, which he ends up having to fight.

    Joseph Joestar 

Joseph Joestar (Stand: Hermit Purple)

For tropes applying to Joseph originally, see here.
  • Adaptational Sexuality: Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain has him telling Josuke about how Caesar was his real first love before his death, as he was attracted to him, but he never got to tell him his real feelings. This makes Joseph bisexual in this iteration of the world. He doesn't mention Caesar explicitly, so this is only implied to the reader.
  • Call-Back: In the original version's Mariska and Shocking Blue fight, he puts on another female disguise akin to the one he pulled in Battle Tendency in order to help Kakyoin and Avdol sneak into a bar that Mariska fled into after an attempt on the group. It works this time, and it's because the doorman who refused entry to them earlier was drunk (or rather, under Shocking Blue's effects).
  • Dirty Old Man:
    • Played for Laughs in the original version of Star-Crossed Crusaders, where one of his first thoughts after the Polnareff murderdoll is destroyed is to see if it also has a penis (which is also a Mythology Gag to JoJolion). There is some brief hilarity from the group's different reactions as the real Polnareff walks in from his fight with Devo right as he checks.
    • Also in the original version, in a case of The Cavalry Arrives Late after the fight with Shocking Blue, he returns after his distraction disguise and spots Hitomi in a bunny outfit, which got heavily damaged during the battle. He immediately covers his eyes, but then he still tries to peek between his fingers, which Avdol calls him out on. This also doubles as a Call-Forward to a certain thing established in Diamond is Unbreakable.
    Avdol: Mr. Joestar, you're a married man!
  • Old Master: Downplayed, but he teaches some Hamon to Jotaro and Hitomi in the original version.
  • Shipper on Deck: Openly tries to get Jotaro and Hitomi together in the original version.
  • Sorry to Interrupt: In Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, he walks in on Jotaro and Hitomi's comfort makeout following Hitomi explaining her father's death to Jotaro, and then walks right out. Jotaro and Hitomi never notice him either.

    Muhammad Avdol 

Muhammad Avdol (Stand: Magician's Red)

For tropes applying to Avdol originally, see here.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Has a few chapters devoted to him requiring a submarine with Speedwagon and Stroheim in the original version of the story.
  • An Arm and a Leg: He survives Vanilla Ice's attack, but not without losing an arm. This ends up putting him out of commission for the final fight with Dio despite surviving his encounter with Vanilla Ice.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: A flashback reveals that his family was slaughtered, leaving him and his father as the sole survivors.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: Twice over in the 7th Stand User version. First, he gets actually killed by Hol Horse during the Emperor and Hanged Man arc. Then, he gets brought back with the memories of an Avdol from another timeline. The "new" Avdol survives the events in Cairo, but then goes missing several years later.
    • The rewrite on the other hand, zig-zags this. First it averts the first example by summarizing that Avdol's encounter with Hol Horse played out the same as it did in canon. Later on, his presence in a flashback in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain and how Kakyoin is explained to have died also retains his survival and ultimate fate from the original story.
  • Ear Ache: He also loses an ear to Vanilla Ice in the fight with him.

    Noriaki Kakyoin 

Noriaki Kakyoin (Stand: Hierophant Green)

For tropes applying to Kakyoin originally, see here.
  • Continuity Nod: In the rewrite's version of the Justice arc, he's the one to incapacitate Enya instead of Jotaro thanks to heading downstairs alongside Jotaro, which is after Hitomi headed down. He stealthily uses Hierophant Green for it, and during this, he expresses disgust at Enya's Stand being capable of making People Puppets, which is strongly implied to be fueled by what he did while under Dio's control.
    Kakyoin: Your Justice is the most horrid of all the Stands we've [seen] so far. Turning someone into a puppet against their will makes me feel sick.
  • Disney Death: While it precedes his actual death in the story, he seemingly dies almost the same way he did originally despite not having a hole in his body thanks to a piece of metal from the water tower stabbing his side, and is revealed to have survived thanks to Iggy tending to him until the Speedwagon Foundation arrived.
  • Given Name Reveal: His real name is actually "Tenmei", but he was accidentally called Noriaki for a long time. He reveals his real name to Hitomi in a flashback. This doubles as a Mythology Gag alluding to what his name was originally going to be according to an interview with Araki.
  • Karmic Trickster: He sets up Polnareff with the Egyptian toilet as payback for using Hitomi's gift to him while he was still recovering from Geb's wounds.
  • Like Brother and Sister: His bond with Hitomi ends up becoming this. This is another key thing that is shown to have remained canon post-rewrite.
  • Not His Sled: Unlike the game, because Iggy survived the encounter with Vanilla Ice, he's able to create a sand double of Kakyoin using The Fool while Kakyoin has his 20 meter Emerald Splash ready. Dio is only able to hastily punch the real Kakyoin and kick Iggy away once he realizes this and spots them, and it ultimately leads to him surviving the final battle with Dio. However, he still dies two years later.
  • Shipper on Deck: Eventually joins Joseph's efforts in getting Jotaro together with Hitomi.

    Jean-Pierre Polnareff 

Jean-Pierre Polnareff (Stand: Silver Chariot)

For tropes applying to Polnareff originally, see here.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Both versions reveal him to have had an encounter with an enemy before he met the Joestar group. The original has him revealed to have trained under Don Cherry before, who later told Dio about him without Polnareff knowing, among other things. The rewrite has Tina revealing herself to have trained and been infatuated with Polnareff back when he had a flesh bud in him.
  • Adaptation Deviation: In the rewrite's version of the Justice arc, he walks into the fog hotel's bar, thinking the noises he heard came from there. This averts his original role in the arc where he ends up trapped in the hotel's bathroom and ends up licking a toilet. This is lampshaded after Enya's defeated.
    Polnareff: I can't believe this hag is not only J. Geil's mother…But she also wants me dead. Who knows what would have happened if I were alone with her.
  • Call-Forward: In the rewrite, he learns his hidden skill of shooting Silver Chariot's blade in the heat of the moment of his fight with Tina. This doubles as an Adaptational Early Appearance of said ability.
  • Gratuitous French: Polnareff uses this at essentially the same rate as the anime's English dub. He even has a French version of a Big "OMG!" when he's the one who winds up in the Egyptian toilet.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A minor and humorous example, but during him and Kakyoin's part of the Bastet fight, he walks further into the women's bathroom in disbelief that Mariah is not in it, even after Kakyoin used Hierophant Green to check the stalls undetected. He forgets that he's magnetized and Hilarity Ensues.
  • Running Gag: He gets two additional bathroom disasters in the form of taking Joseph's place in the Bastet and Set arc. One at the Egyptian toilet, and another when he and Kakyoin are searching for Mariah.

    Iggy 

Iggy (Stand: The Fool)

For tropes applying to Iggy originally, see here.
  • Eye Scream: Loses an eye to Dio during the final battle with him.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Unlike his original fate in Stardust Crusaders, he pulls this off years after its events, and is heavily implied to have died protecting Polnareff from Diavolo before the events of Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo. This presumably makes him the last of the three surviving members to die.
  • Mythology Gag: After his survival against Vanilla Ice in the original version of the story, Iggy ends up walking with a limp since one of his front paws got broken from being kicked by Vanilla Ice, which mirrors how he lost a front paw during the fight with Pet Shop in canon.
  • Not His Sled: In the original version of the story, Hitomi finds Iggy by chance, averting him having to forcefully remove one of his own paws to escape Pet Shop just like in the game. Later, his original death at the hands of Vanilla Ice is averted thanks to Hitomi being able to heal her injured ankle with Ripple to get back up to attack Ice, and gradually heal Iggy, which is actually different from the game's aversion of Iggy's death. However, just like with Avdol and Kakyoin, he still dies after the events of the story.
  • Urine Trouble: In the original version of the story, he resorts to having to pee on Hitomi's frozen hand to thaw it after a surprise attack from Vins right after Pet Shop is finished off.

Allies

    Holly Kujo 

Holly Kujo, née Joestar (Stand: Unknown)

For tropes applying to Holly originally, see here.
  • Ascended Extra: Not only does she get more characterization than she did originally via flashbacks of Jotaro's childhood and adolescence prior to the story's events, she continues to be mentioned in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain and technically has a proper appearance when she calls Jotaro during the story.

    Shoko Zeppeli 

Shoko Zeppeli note 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/shoko_tree_portrait.png

Hitomi's older sister, who comically has eyes for Jotaro.

  • Ascended Extra: Gets a bit more characterization and a slightly larger role in the story than the 7th Stand User nameless sister character she is based on. She also appears again in a flashback in Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Even gravely wounded by Hierophant Green, she still uses her last strength to tell Hitomi to run.
    • In a flashback in the original version, she challenges and drives away a delinquent groping Hitomi.
  • Brainwashed and Crazy: In two separate chapters, no less - first by Rainbow in the original iteration, and then by Kakyoin in both versions.
  • Exact Words: She does get a kiss from Jotaro (as Rainbow predicted in the original version), but the circumstances are decidedly unromantic.
  • Fetish: She wants to marry Jotaro... and make him spit on her. Hitomi is squicked by the idea.
  • Hidden Buxom: The students who look at her half-naked photos in the original say that she has "a huge rack".
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Her first name is named after Shoko Nakagawa, who is in fact a big fanatic of Jotaro and is likely the inspiration of that part of her personality.
  • Shoe Slap: Delivers one to a delinquent who tries to grope Hitomi.
  • Stalker Shrine: Intends to make one for Jotaro. She already collected a used towel, a cigarette butt and a gum chewed by him. This is implied to still be the case in the rewrite, minus the mention of which items in the original iteration.
  • Unseen No More: From an illustration standpoint, what she looks like is finally seen in Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo's family tree of the Zeppeli family.
  • Weirdness Censor: She quickly forgets both beating a delinquent to a bloody pulp in the original version and seeing Hitomi's Stand healing her wounded hand.

Villains

    Dio Brando 

Dio Brando (Stand: The World)

For tropes applying to Dio originally, see here.
  • Adaptation Expansion: Original to the story itself, he's shown using his unnamed Hermit Purple-like Stand again to keep track of the deaths of his followers. He also uses it to learn about the existence of Josuke and Giorno.
  • Call-Back: Has a brief one to Phantom Blood when he hastily punches and kicks Kakyoin and Iggy away before his time stop wears off, not having enough time to mortally wound them since he was tricked by the sand double of Kakyoin.
    Dio: If only I had more time to crush their hearts...And I just remembered why I hate dogs so much.
  • Finger in the Mail: Original to this story, he contemplates the idea of sadistically sending Jotaro's severed head back to Holly in Japan when he moves forward with severing his head with a street sign to make sure he's dead in the final battle.
  • Spell My Name With An S: Unlike the original work, his name is not written by only his first name and in all-caps. This averts the naming convention he originally had starting with Part 3, in a retelling of it no less.
  • Would Hurt a Child: It's implied that he planned to hunt down a very young Josuke (keep in mind, who was still hospitalized with the same disease Holly had) and Giorno once he saw their spirit photos.
    Dio: Now these two... I was right to use this Stand to find the other Joestar descendants. But these two are only children. I will have an easier time taking care of them...

    Whitney 

Whitney (Stand: Isis)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scc_whitney.png
Whitney and Isis 
Click here to see her appearance pre-rewrite. 
A loyal servant of Dio, possessing fortune telling powers and is strangely interested in Hitomi, making her Hitomi's personal Big Bad. She is named after Whitney Houston, and her stand is named after an Egyptian god of the same name.
Originally an independent enemy in the original version of the story, she has a much bigger role in the rewrite.

Isis has the ability to reflect whatever damage Whitney does to herself onto whoever she leaves her Stands' markings on, which she can leave just by touch. The only way to get rid of them is if the victim's name is written on the back of her Stand.
  • Ascended Extra: She only got one fight in the original version of the story. In the rewrite, she's Hitomi's personal Big Bad.
  • Ambiguously Human: In the rewrite, she and Aretha are an unspecified number of centuries old, which only Dio knows.
  • Cain and Abel: In the original version of the story, her killing her (then-?)unnamed sister is what got her exiled from being one of Dio's servants.
  • False Friend: Her introduction in the rewrite basically makes her out as one of these, seeming as a foreign exchange student at first before attacking Hitomi later.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Is jealous of Aretha getting a lot of attention from Dio compared to her.
  • I Owe You My Life: In the original story, Eljon is not only her ally, but someone who saved her from a crocodile when she was three, at the cost of his other biological leg.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Has a moment of this during her bickering with Aretha in chapter 3 of the rewrite.
  • Sibling Rivalry: In the rewrite, she has one with her sister Aretha. They don't seem to get along that well despite being sisters.

    Aretha 

Aretha (Stand: Unknown)

From the rewrite, she's Whitney's sister, also a loyal servant of Dio. She seems to be the favorite of Dio's servants, possibly even more than Enya. She is named after Aretha Franklin.
  • Ambiguously Human: Just like Whitney, she is an unspecified number of centuries old, which only Dio knows, especially her knowledge about Stands.
  • Sibling Rivalry: With Whitney.

Minor Arcanum Tarot Stand Users

    O'Jay 

O'Jay (Stand: Jack Of Wands)

Hypothetical Casting Choice: Kaiji Tang (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scc_ojay.png
"This is my magic show, if you want the girl, you have to play along!"

The first enemy Stand user representing the Minor Arcanum that is fought in the rewrite. He is fought in Singapore, disguised as a hotel bellhop and a magician while the Joestar group is awaiting for Polnareff's release following his fight with Devo. He is named after a band called "The O'Jays".

Jack Of Wands has the ability to create an endless amount of cards (usually playing cards), which its body can also break into a swarm of in order to dodge attacks. The cards are also sharp enough to make effective sneak attacks. They also have the ability to trap someone in a Pocket Dimension within the cards, though the victim has no memory of what happened once they're released.

  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: Jack Of Wands' cards are so sharp they can cut through a palm tree like it's nothing.
  • Character Tic: Has a habit of winking at his victims.
  • Fatal Flaw: His cockiness ends up being his undoing, as the gallery mentions he thinks he's smarter than a teenage girl.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He keeps up his cheery demeanor and the act of a card magician even as he attempts to kill Hitomi.
  • I Have Your Wife: He manages to kidnap Anne and uses the card she is trapped in to get Hitomi to chase after it and lead it to him. He then attempts to light what seems to be said card on fire when Hitomi gets the upper hand after she traps his Stand. However, it doesn't work as Hitomi saw what type of card Anne was in, and O'Jay used a different card.
  • Not Enough to Bury: Once he's defeated, his body breaks apart into multiple cards. Hitomi wonders if he fled, but commentary by Enya in the following scene seems to suggest he died.
  • Shoot the Medic First: He was specifically tasked with killing Hitomi so the Joestar group would be without a healer.

    Tina 

Tina (Stand: Queen of Swords)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scc_tina.png
The second original enemy Stand user fought in the rewrite. She is fought in Pakistan during the events of the Justice arc. As a case of Adaptation Deviation, Polnareff fights her on his own unlike his original role in the arc. She is named after Tina Turner.

Queen of Swords, similar to Silver Chariot, is also a sword-wielding Stand with armor on it. It wields a Whip Sword, which naturally gives it a longer reach and proves to give Polnareff a hard time during their fight despite being slower than Silver Chariot.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Polnareff solemnly expresses this once she's dead, with a single use of Gratuitous French in response to Tina's words.
  • Because You Were Nice to Me: When she recounts the time she and Polnareff were lovers when Polnareff worked for Dio, she says he was the only one of Dio's servants who took her seriously as a warrior, which was another reason she was so infatuated with him.
  • Connected All Along: She is revealed to have been Polnareff's lover back when he had a flesh bud in him.
  • Dark Action Girl: She is dressed in dark clothes and is a capable fighter under Dio's command.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: This is what she frames her grudge against Polnareff's freedom of Dio's control as, seeing it as the new him having killed the one she loved.
  • Death of Personality: Played with, as this is what she sees the current Polnareff as, since she was infatuated with him back when he had a flesh bud implanted by Dio in him as per her Motive Rant.
  • Femme Fatale: She ends up flirting with Polnareff when they meet in the fog hotel's bar, and upon taking Polnareff somewhere quieter, she opens up some more to him. Then she begins her fight with him. This all turns out to be because of a grudge she had against Polnareff after he was freed from the flesh bud Dio planted in him, as she was infatuated with him beforehand.
  • Gratuitous Italian: She exclaims "Arrivederci, Polnareff!" as an attempted Pre-Mortem One-Liner to Polnareff.
  • Hidden Weapons: She has a dagger hidden underneath her skirt, which she uses in attempt to stab Polnareff in her last ditch effort to kill him at close range.
  • The Only One Allowed To Kill You: For her own personal reasons, she intended to steal Enya's kill for revenge against J. Geil by fighting Polnareff before Enya can.
    Tina: Then you will die by my hand! I won't give Enya the satisfaction of killing you first!
  • The Stoic: As shown by Hol Horse's attempts to woo her, she's quite reserved and cold. She later becomes Not So Stoic during her time and fight with Polnareff.
  • Token Minority: She's Italian, and she's even stated to speak with an Italian accent.

Others

    Fredo Zeppeli 

Alfredo "Fredo" Zeppeli

Hitomi's late grandfather, who apparently is responsible for a lot of bad blood in the Zeppeli family, according to Hitomi's father Sonny at the start of both versions of the story.
See the character page for Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo for tropes on him.

    Hitomi's Teacher 

Shiori Shiobana

Hitomi's teacher. She teaches at the same school Hitomi and Jotaro attended. She's a single mom, but due to being neglectful to her son Haruno, she'd often ask Hitomi to babysit him on short notice.
See the character page for Lacrime D'oro del Vento Aureo for tropes on her.

Pre-Rewrite Characters / Characters from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The 7th Stand User

Below are tropes that apply to the characters in this story. For tropes that apply to them in the original game, see here.

    Steel 

Steel (Stand: Dan Penn)

The Mr. Exposition of the original game. He interacts with Hitomi a lot throughout the story.
  • Adaptational Backstory Change: While him having been killed by Kira in the original game is Adapted Out, he instead gets an original origin about him and his Stand. He woke up one day in a hospital with no memories, and his Stand allowed him to see the memories of other people, including across timelines as he learns he worked for Dio in a past life. He then stole the arrow from Dio's mansion, and he tried to awaken multiple Stand users, six of which who awakened Stands all refused. Hitomi was the last one he managed to awaken a Stand out of before he was killed by Joey.
  • Big Damn Heroes: In the climax, he's seemingly killed when the radio he clings onto gets destroyed by Vins, but then he appears again, with a new body created by Berlin and Alicia, subduing Vins as the story's ultimate twist is revealed.
  • Defector from Decadence: Across timelines, no less - he remembers taking Pucci's place as a Dio follower in one of his past lives.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Subverted, chapter 38 has him reveal to Hitomi that he's Fredo and explains to Hitomi what he knows, but then chapter 51 reveals that he's not actually Fredo and it was only a cover-up in case Joseph ever asked about him. It was thanks to his Stand that he was able to know Fredo's memories after coming into contact with his near-dead corpse.
  • Mistaken for Gay: Tabasaki reacts this way when Steel tells him that he "needs his body".
  • The Unreveal: The face of his new body seen at the climax is never seen. Even Hitomi chooses not to look at it as they bid each other goodbye.

    Utah 

Utah (Stand: Saints)

A natural born, adventure seeking Stand User who Hitomi ends up training with and befriending.
  • Abusive Parents / Parental Abandonment: He reveals that his parents turned him over to a foster home once they learned he was a Stand user.
  • Dies Differently in Adaptation: While he still winds up a zombie, unlike the game where you have to fight him after encountering him as a zombie, he briefly regains some of his sentience and recognizes Hitomi after she stabs his mouth with Cardigans' scalpel. He then commits suicide with his own Stand before he can lose it again and hurt Hitomi.
  • Horror Hunger: His behavior as a zombie exhibits this.
  • Last Request: It's revealed that before he died, Steel requested him to train Hitomi should they ever meet, and as shown earlier, Utah follows through with it.
  • Mentor Archetype: Just like the game, he teaches Hitomi about fighting another Stand by sparring with her after seeing Hitomi take care of Freu and learning she's a Stand User.
  • More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Courtesy of some Adaptation Expansion, his look as a zombie is said to have this, especially when he tries to attack Hitomi.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Upon regaining a bit of his sentience as a zombie, he has this reaction as the last thing he does before commiting suicide with his own Stand.

    Eizo Tabasaki 

Eizo Tabasaki (Stand: Deep Purple)

A delinquent student from the same school as Jotaro and Hitomi who shares a history with both of them.

    Vins 

Vins (Stand: Hanoi Rocks)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scc_7su_9.png
The Greater-Scope Villain of the original game, and as such, Hitomi's personal Big Bad.
  • All for Nothing: The climax revealing that Pucci no longer exists in the world thanks to Made in Heaven's collapse essentially renders her goal as this.
  • Dying Curse: Original to this story, as she crumbles away thanks to the UV grenades, she uses the last of her strength to foresee that Hitomi will suffer the same pain as her one day. It's unknown if this really rings true post-rewrite, as while Hitomi's father is revealed to have died between the events of this story and Unbreakable Diamond, Protean Rain, ultimately making Hitomi want revenge, this is something that happened with a 7SU character, as it's still unknown how the final battle with Dio happened post-rewrite.
    Vins: For my last... fortune... I will tell you... your future...Just like how... I lost my child... you too... will suffer the same pain...
  • Failed a Spot Check: As Steel explains, she was so caught up with getting the book and eliminating Hitomi that she forgot to see if Pucci still existed.
  • Kick the Dog: She gets much more of these than she did originally. For instance, she mortally wounds Speedwagon, and when their ambush goes awry, she brutally kills Kageyama, and leads Mizuno to a horrific death when Vins manages to dispose of Tabasaki's attempted Last Stand and chase after Mizuno.
    Vins: Oops, I forgot... I already lost my soul a long time ago.
  • Mythology Gag: In the artwork featuring her, her pose is taken from one that a disguised Enya did in a DVD cover for the OVA of Stardust Crusaders.
  • Named by the Adaptation: In Stone Ocean, Mrs. Bluemarine's first name was never said. In her backstory in chapter 50, her name is Delia, which is named after the clothing brand "Delia's".
  • Villainous Breakdown: Once it's revealed that her plans were All for Nothing, she's extremely distraught, but then it turns into a last ditch effort to attempt to kill Hitomi, using the Stone Mask.
