During battling she can come across as a more rash and demanding person. Though Verdi is much more friendly and cheery outside of battle. She even will talk to her rivals casually, sometimes merely to poke fun at them in a teasing manner. History: Verdi Salvatore is born and raised in italy for most of her life. Her mother and father both being italian as well. Growing up her interests was always towards cooking it was intriguing to say the least. Seeing her interest they allowed her to attend a cooking class in which she quickly grew in and soon mastered what they were teaching where she was more informed than the teacher in some cases. Quickly she rose beyond that going to a more prestigious cooking classes and eventually becoming a apprentice to a professional chef. Under the strict tutelage she grew more and more. Eventually though she was let out by her master and told that he could teach her no more. Eventually she moved back to her parents in Monteriggioni though this was short lived as her father gotten a promotion and they had to move to Florence. Continuing her cooking though was what really mattered to her and as such she quickly went out to find a new chef that was willing to let her be their apprentice. Sadly she found none and as such eventually she wandered into a hobby store. Seeing as she had nothing better to do she entered and look around and see what was with the large commotion. Her intro was kind of odd to say the least as soon as she walked in to see what was happening she was handed a gundam deathscythe to use. Being forced into a battle she eventually found that for her it was like cooking requiring precision and control to win. Figuring out the controls and that was at first a bit awkward as shown with her falling and accidentally letting the vulcans go off. Eventually she figured out how and like with her cooking she took control over the "ingredients" and with precision "prepared" them. Though she won a few battles she eventually lost. Afterwords she was quick to demand a explanation on what happened. She was told that it was a tournament and she was confused as a entrant and thus was rushed into the battle. As a way of saying sorry she was given the gunpla of deathscythe she used and a kit for the spiegel gundam. Seeing as she enjoyed herself she asked for help on how to put the kit together she was quickly ushered to a new room and given a impromptu lesson. A few years later she was now 13 and while she eventually managed to find a new chef to apprentice under like her previous one it was ended quickly seeing as she had nothing left to learn. Seeing as she kept up with her new found hobby of gunpla she used her sudden free time to enter multiple tournaments till eventually she won the 19 and under singles tournament. Stopping at the store where it all started where she decided to as with all of the other trophies to allow the owner to display them as her "sponser". It was than she decided to join the "blind" tourney that was going on and getting to the finals she was quickly destroyed by a wing gundam. It was only after she found her opponent was a world level competitor Ricardo Fellini. It was there that he told her she had great skill but just needed more polish to really shine beautifully. So he left the store after placing a helmet with goggles on her head and left saying that in a few more years to challenge him again. The helmet quickly became on of her most prized possessions along with her gunpla and motorized scooter. It was a bit after that meeting she was sent a letter from Akiba Academy saying she was accepted to the gunpla school after a recommendation they received from one Ricardo Fellini. Deciding to accept the invitation she packed and flew to japan to attend the academy. Though she can speak the language she does have a habit of slipping italian into it at times as well.
