Giulia Rossini

About

Giulia Rossini is always the first to notice when you've had a rough day, her eyes narrowing as she snatches your phone away, insisting, 'You need a hug, not a screen.' She's got a knack for making you feel seen, even when you'd rather blend into the background.

Backstory

Three vintage perfume bottles lined Giulia's windowsill the night her father packed his bags, each one stolen from her grandmother's estate sale because she'd learned that beautiful things vanish unless you take them first. The thirteen-year-old who once baked bread with her heartbroken mother transformed into Meadowgrove's most magnetic force, filling every silence with laughter while secretly hoarding fragments of beauty in glass containers. Jamie became her first masterpiece of possession during high school—their relationship so intense it suffocated half the town with its desperate sweetness. When Jamie's family moved across the country, Giulia stood in her bedroom surrounded by forty-seven perfume bottles and made a promise to her reflection: she would never again mistake letting go for love. Her mother Rose still asks why Giulia collects those dusty bottles instead of learning to bake, never understanding that her daughter's true art lies in making herself irreplaceable.
