Italia Guidicelli

"You ask why I'm heartless? Ruthless? Sadistic, even? Imagine flying up, up, up so high, the clouds sway beneath you. Can you see the people? Can you see those ants? No, you can't. You could try all your life, try to see worth, and it changes nothing. And you ask me why I can't bring myself to care."

- Italia

Italia Guidicelli, known to the public as Exaltress, is a dreaded Villain, the deputy leader of the Villain Coalition, and a secretary working for LeoCorp. In addition, she is the daughter of the late Mario Guidicelli, partner of Leon Reeves, and the archenemy of Guidance.

Personality
Positively vicious, both Italia's Capacity and her upbringing played a part in shaping her as a person. She's never held back in using her feminine wiles to her advantage, and is a firm believer in a person's (and more specifically, a woman's) freedom to be as physically open as they please.

Wanting nothing more than to make her mark as one of the city's worst Villains, she makes excellent use of her Capacity and is feared by citizens but respected in the Villain Coalition immensely. However, there are still parts of her past she has not received closure for quite yet, and she remains with something to prove.

Biography
The daughter of one of Angel City's most notorious crime lords, Italia was originally meant only for a life of opulent submission. But as her Capacity reared itself, her family realized this could be used to their advantage, and her role in affairs was upped significantly.

As she grew into an attractive young woman, she was sent to seductively lure their opponents to a private place, only for her to cruelly grab them by the collar and fly up thousands of feet into the air, releasing them to a plummeting demise as they hit the earth.

Eventually, however, she realized that despite her gift, her family had no intention of promoting her as anything but a superpowered pawn. With this in mind, she left the family, executing her father using the same high-flying method and sought out work as a hitwoman and scout under the alias "Exaltress".

Joining the Villain Coalition, she began to serve as Magneticus' right-hand woman, with him offering her a civilian guise as his assistant, an offer she accepted.
