Name: Federica La Strega.

Also Answers To: "Samantha".

Occupation / Title: Interpreter, Translator, Turin Evangelist, Magic Fan (big time), Witch, Tour Guide, Bubble Sword Diva.

Brief Summary: Bright, very beautiful, caring, fun to know and (sometimes) very silly. Good combination, methinks.

World Records Held:
Best Promoter Of Turin (the tourist board should pay her well)
Best Interpreter (English, Italian, German, bit of French, from any to any)
Most Enthusiastic Magic Fan
Best Witch

Other Notable Achievements & Honours: Federica doesn't work as a model for any clothing designer, but she could and perhaps should. She has that quality, guaranteed to get her hated by most other women, of being able to wear just about anything and make it look great. She could wear the proverbial potato sack, and it would look very fetching and attractive on her. However, looks aren't everything, so I think I should also mention that she's quite possibly the World's Greatest Fan Of Magic, which is quite an achievement, and a Bubble Sword Diva. If you don't know what a Bubble Sword is, it won't take you long to find out.

Best Party Trick: Making memorable translation errors. Federica is a really excellent interpreter and translator, but just now and again she makes small mistakes. When she does, the mistake is usually hilarious and often deeply embarassing. Unfortunately, I can't mention any of her 'classic' mistakes here because they would embarass her too much. You'll just have to trust me - she doesn't make many mistakes, but when she does, they're great.

Special Powers: She is a witch, so she can wiggle her nose (like Samantha in the 'Bewitched' TV show) and cause magical things to happen. Really.

Known Weaknesses: Doesn't like Las Vegas. This is a terrible flaw in any human being.

Catchphrase: "I promise that was a mistake, and I did not mean to say that..."
