Narancia Ghirga, born May 20, 1983, faced hardship after his mother's death from an eye disease when he was ten. Neglected by his father, he stopped attending school, relying on friends for shelter and stealing food to survive. An older friend manipulated him into dyeing his hair blond and framed him for burglary, leading to a year in juvenile detention. Guards there beat him, causing an eye infection. Rumors spread by the same friend upon his release, claiming the infection was contagious, resulted in social isolation. Homeless and scavenging, he was found by Pannacotta Fugo, who took him to a restaurant. There, Bruno Bucciarati provided a meal and arranged medical treatment, curing his eye infection over three weeks. Narancia later joined Passione by passing Polpo's test independently of Bucciarati's approval. Narancia demonstrated fierce loyalty to Bucciarati, viewing him as a hero due to his early kindness. Past betrayals forged his deep value for friendship, contrasting his brash, volatile exterior. He exhibited childlike traits: random outbursts, impulsivity, and significant academic struggles, famously miscalculating 16 × 55 as 28. He readily carried switchblades and threatened violence, even mistaking civilians for enemies. Yet he showed vulnerability, crying under emotional distress and expressing a desire to return to school despite potential ridicule. His relationship with Trish Una shifted from hostility to mutual empathy, bonding over shared abandonment experiences. His Stand, Aerosmith, manifested as a miniature fighter plane armed with machine guns and bombs. Its radar detected carbon dioxide emissions from breath, enabling enemy tracking. This ability could be countered by breath-holding or environmental factors like fire. Aerosmith reflected Narancia's personality: high firepower but low precision, often causing collateral damage. His combat tactics were direct, like igniting a street to trap Formaggio or severing his own tongue to counter Talking Head's lie manipulation. He favored offense over defense, relying on allies in sustained fights, though his Stand mastery enabled precise deductions despite radar limits. Relationships defined him. Fugo acted as a tutor and protector, though Narancia showed no reaction to Fugo's departure. Mista shared camaraderie, engaging in antics like synchronized torture dances. Abbacchio's death devastated Narancia, prompting desperate pleas for Giorno to revive him. Narancia gradually respected Giorno, initially noting their age difference but later acknowledging his strategic value. After Bucciarati defected from Passione, Narancia hesitated until empathizing with Trish, choosing rebellion. During the mission, he sustained severe injuries: tongue amputation by Clash and body contortion from Notorious B.I.G. He died when Diavolo, inhabiting Giorno Giovanna's body during Chariot Requiem's soul swap, impaled him. Giorno buried him, promising repatriation. In the light novel *JORGE JOESTAR*, an alternate-universe Narancia appears with similar appearance and personality, wielding U-Boat—a submarine fleet launching missiles from within living beings or Stands. Partnered with Jorge Joestar aboard the H.G. Wells spaceship en route to Mars, he battled enemies. His aggressive tactics included injuring Jorge to lure astronauts and deflecting bullets with missiles. He faced manipulation by Enrico Pucci and fought Kars, displaying fearlessness but crumbling when threatened with death, lamenting lost friendships. This incarnation shared traits like poor math skills and emotional volatility within a science-fiction context.
