Baby Face (ベイビィ・フェイス, Beibyi Feisu) is the Stand of Melone, featured in Vento Aureo.

Baby Face is a highly unique Stand, functioning as a computer that can generate a secondary, sentient Stand.

Appearance

Baby Face primarily takes the form of a laptop equipped of a trackball instead of a pad, in which is a hole where Melone can insert a small bottle of DNA sample. From the bottom of the laptop protubes a large face, and limbs can occasionally sprout from the laptop.

The Homonculus is generates takes the form of a humanoid Stand with no noteworthy feature save a set of crests on its head. Its mid-section is composed of several cable attaching the two halves of its body. It is designed to be an evil version of Echoes ACT3 and its head is of "deformed Amerindian" style.^[2]

Personality

Baby Face itself has no personality to speak of.

However the Homonculus it generates is an independent Stand, it also holds separate sentience from its user. Since it is born with intellect but no knowledge, it requires proper education to ensure a positive growth. The one shown homonculus also had a murderous instinct.^[3]

Otherwise, it will become disobedient and uncontrollable. It also takes its personality from its "mother"; the one used against Bruno Bucciarati's group had a hotheaded "mother" and demonstrated such personality traits.

Abilities

Baby Face

Baby Face is an automatic Stand with little combat ability, thus isn't suited for direct confrontation. Its strength reside in its ability to create secondary Stands for Melone to sic on a target. It is laborious to set up, but inherently very safe as a trade-off.

Homunculus Generation: Through its Computer Stand, Baby Face has the ability to generate a secondary Stand that will fight in its place.^[3]

By researching a suitable subject through the pseudoscience of examining a woman 's characteristics ranging from one's age or health to their blood type, personality or their horoscope, Melone gathers information and predicts the futur homonculus' predispositions. If the data predicts a strong child who is "incompatible" with Melone's target, Melone unleashes Baby Face on the woman and impregnates her with Baby Face's child through undisclosed means.^[4]

The development is fast, taking three minutes for a fertilized egg to fully develop into a new homonculus.^[4] that then appears near the host.

Moreover, if Melone possesses a sample of his target's blood, he can incorporate it into the homonculus so that it automatically feels the target's location and can track them.^[4]

Computer: Baby Face is not only responsible for the Homunculus Generation power, but is also used like a regular computer, capable of holding and interacting with the data gathered by Melone.^[4] The computer Stand also maintains contact the Homonculus, as if Melone was having an online discussion with the homonculus' spirit. A webcam and microphone allows Melone to show the homonculus images and converse with it orally.^[3] It also monitors the homunculus' status allowing Melone to watch its growth^[5].

Homonculus

The secondary Stand or homonculus that Baby Face creates is an independant, long range and power-type Stand that act as a surrogate fighter for Melone. It is powerful by default, can develop further depending on the progenitor, and its demise doesn't affect Melone, making it useful as a proxy assassin.^[6] On the other hand, because of its independency, it can disobey its creator but is also a hassle to create and educate. As a unique mix of human and Stand, the homonculus can be seen by anyone.^[6] Unfortunately for it, the homonculus is also vulnerable to mundane things most Stands are immune to like burning.^[5]

Matter Manipulation: Upon birth, the secondary Stand is capable of breaking matter apart into cubes while keeping lifeforms alive^[3].

The homonculus creates a square-shaped vacuum that forcefully divides anything it touches into cubes, or simply extracts a singular cubic part of the target.^[7]^[8]

Upon dicing something, Baby Face is capable of rearranging and reconstituting the structure of said objects into anything it desires (Baby Face cubed and transformed Trish into a table), and can even apply his powers to itself, reproducing the appearance of anything and blending in with the environment.^[7]^[8] The homonculus can thus hide inside object and go into any adjacent object to evade attacks.^[9]

Although cubed people typically stay alive despite their condition^[10], this can also be used as an attack by removing key parts of the body like the throat^[8].

The homonculus can dice people then absorb the cubes for nourishment^[3].

Physical Growth and Aging: The Homunculus starts as a small baby able to hide inside someone's hair. Over a short period of time, it will grow both physically and mentally up to become a fully aged adult.^[3]

Aside from developing physically, it can grow as a Stand itself. While most autonomous Stands, such as Killer Queen's Sheer Heart Attack, lack precision or the ability to allow their users a sense of awareness to their current condition and status, Baby Face is able to assimilate information witnessed or heard. Through that learning and Melone's counsel^[8], the Stand will become more powerful and efficient in combat. It can also acquire other skills separate from fighting such as drivind a motorcycle.^[9]

On the other hand, it is free-spirited and may go berserk^[6] and disobedient if Melone cannot rein it in. For better or for worse, the Stand will then follow its instinct alone when battling an enemy.^[5]
