The Cure
CharacterThe Cure is Coniglio's rabbit-shaped Stand from the novel Golden Heart, Golden Ring, a jeweled healer that draws wounds, sickness, and grief out of the living. The catch is that all that absorbed pain builds up inside it, and past a certain limit the gentle creature swells into a rampaging monster.
Overview
Roughly thirty centimeters long, the Stand looks much like a white rabbit, its fur mostly white with streaks of gold. The eyes differ from one another, the right glowing red while the smaller left one shines gold. A blue jewel sits at the center of its brow, and further gems stud its ears and body, lending it an ornate, bejeweled air. Fittingly, Coniglio is Italian for rabbit.
Mechanics
The Stand's gift is healing: it can pull the injuries, illnesses, and emotional pain out of any living thing and take that burden into itself. The soaked-up suffering gathers within it and makes it grow, though under normal conditions that excess bleeds away over time. Should the accumulated pain climb past what it can hold, it balloons to enormous size and slips into a frenzy. In this runaway state it takes on a brutish, subhuman shape, and rather than weakening under attack it only grows stronger the more damage it takes. It also has a quirk of scratching itself and then healing the very wound it made.
Notable Users
Coniglio is the Stand's user. Under Sogliola's scheme, The Cure took in a huge dose of Purple Haze's virus all at once, lost control, and rampaged through the city while spewing the stored contagion. Assaults from Sticky Fingers and Gold Experience only fed its strength, and it settled down only when Coniglio called out to it. After Sogliola was beaten, she made a home in an Illinois village and turned the Stand toward healing those who needed it.
