Iona is identified as Julius au Bellona’s youngest daughter and as Nero’s wife. Her role in the book is brief but devastating: her severed head arrives in a package with grapes, turning private family grief into a chilling public message. Though she appears only through this mention, her death sharpens the Bellonas’ sorrow and fury.
Description
The text provides no reliable details of Iona’s appearance, so her height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, and facial features remain unspecified. She belongs to the aristocratic au Bellona family, but no particular garment or ornament is described. Keep any visual rendering restrained and avoid treating imagined details as canonical.
