Family emblem
Arcana Famiglia (アルカナ・ファミリア, Arukana Famiria) is a vigilante group that protects the island Regalo[1][2]. The "Arcana" in the Family's name refers to the Arcana cards, as every joiner has to form a contract with Tarocco.
Overview[]
The Arcana Famiglia consists of people unrelated by blood; every member is forced to make a Tarocco contract, abandon their family name and swear absolute loyalty to the organisation[3]. Including the servants, the Family consists of about 100 people[4], who all live together in the family manor.
The organisation is led by a boss, whom the other members call "Papa". His two closest associates are the executive head as well as the family advisor who helps Papa make the most important decisions[5]. Generally, in the absence of the boss, either of them will take command and give orders. The Family is further split into five divisions[6], also known as Serie. Each division is managed by a division head, or Capo, who is usually a Major Arcana holder; the rest of the division consists of Minor Arcana holders (except for the Intelligence Division).
The main ranks in the Family, in order of importance, are:
- Boss
- Family advisor
- Executive head
- Deputy executive head
- Division heads
- Other Major Arcana
- Minor Arcana court cards
- Minor Arcana numbered cards
The boss's spouse is given a great deal of respect as well, but has no clearly identifiable space in the chain of command.
All the members of the Famiglia are required to wear a standard uniform, which consists of a black suit and a tie. Division members wear coloured ties according to the colours of the division. Other than that, the uniform may be further personalised, worn open and closed, or modified in other ways.
