Signora Sicilia is an NPC in Arknights. She is first mentioned in Code of Brawl[1] before appearing as a supporting character in Il Siracusano. She is also a minor character in Prelude Suite: Old Wounds.
Background[edit]
Signora Sicilia, or better known as Miss Sicily, is the Capo dei capi of the Siracusan Mafia, hence being the Godmother of the mafias. She is the current head of state of Siracusa who unified the Dodici Famiglie under the Grey Hall sixty years ago, in the year 1039, to end its sixty-years long chaotic period following its independence from Leithanien.[2]
Once the heir to the defunct Famiglia Sicilia, which managed to maintain control of its territory amidst the turmoil, she was sent by her father to Laterano to study abroad and protect her. Many people at the time were skeptical of such a decision since they thought that she would ruin the family's name due to her lack of influence from her father. On a particular day, while standing on the balcony of her hotel room in Laterano, young Sicilia took the time to think about the future of her homeland. It was at that moment that she thought that the real problem in Siracusa wasn't excessive violence, but rather its lack of order. [2]
After her tour in Laterano, Signora Sicilia returned to Siracusa with Father Agenir, who became her faithful right-hand man. Inspired by the Lateran Church, she reinterpreted the principles of the Lateran Faith and established the "Pistole e Ordine,“ the foundation of the Siracusan legal system.[3] Oddly enough, the Signora publicly stated that she doesn't respect the Lateran Faith given that the Law has no actual power within Laterano, and all miracles actually come from those who believe in the Law and act accordingly, be it Sankta or Liberi. Nevertheless, some people refer to her as the "Popess of Siracusa" due to her influences and integration of the Lateran Faith. [4] In only a few years, she convinced the figureheads of various large famiglie to pledge loyalty to her. She gave up her position as the Donna of Famiglia Sicilia in favor of the Grey Hall. [2]
The Signora can be both a kind lady and a ruthless woman in times. She rarely relies on force, even at the slightest acts of flattery. But if necessary, she could rely on all sorts of aggressive and cruel tactics in order to impose her power.[2] She can reward anyone with anything, such as a laurel of bones that symbolizes her authority.[5] However, she cannot treat any challenger that usurps her "game of order" with any semblance of Clemency, including the mafiosi; anyone who dares to challenge her will face consequences. Some of the worst offenses against her include blaspheming the legal system which she sees as her extension of her authority and attempting to overthrow the current famiglia system. To this end, she can employ the Bocca al Lupo —Her personal guards— to eliminate anyone that could impose a threat to Siracusa's interests if they dare to ignore her warnings. Nevertheless, the Signora sees herself as the guardian of the old days who waits for anyone who could provide a better solution to run the country.
Although the Signora's name hardly appears in Siracusa's official archives, her deeds are fully reflected in pop culture and artistic works alike. For instance, "The Rains at Siracusa," a stage play considered a household classic, narrates how Signora Sicilia exterminates a rival famiglia. For the past fifty years since its original presentation, various directors gave their own take on how the story unfolds, trying a dozen different ways to kill the famiglia's members, but always keeping the echoing sound of raindrops through the blood-stained hall.
