Aceto is the daughter of Count Balsamico and the fiancée of Velveno.
Appearance[]
Aceto in her usual attire
Aceto is a young girl with hip-length chestnut-colored hair that has short square bangs covering her forehead with chest-length hair strands hanging in the front and large dark-pink eyes. She normally wears a pink dress. For the Magic Dance Ball, she tied part of her hair in a bun and she wore a white, fancy strapless dress with a purple dressing in the front of it.[1]
Personality[]
Aceto seems to be a very kind and gentle girl who also seems to be very traditional as she was okay with the custom of her future husband grabbing the Balsamico Ring to propose to her.[1]
History[]
When she was young, Aceto had a friendly relationship with Velveno who served for the Balsamico family and later fell in love with her. Due to this, her father, Balsamico, drove Velveno out of the mansion and only allows his daughter to make public appearances in her family's Mage Dance Ball at the Balsamico Castle once every seven years with a sole purpose of finding a suitor for her.[1]
Synopsis[]
Key of the Starry Sky arc[]
Note: The following events in this section are only shown in the anime.
Aceto and her father talking to members of Fairy Tail
Aceto invites a group of Fairy Tail Mages —Team Natsu, Wendy Marvell, Carla, Warren Rocko and Elfman Strauss— inside Balsamico Castle upon hearing that they have come at the request of her father, Balsamico, to deal with the escaped convict Velveno. The count explains his family's tradition of deciding Aceto's future husband by holding a ball and leaving the Balsamico Ring out for her suitor to take. The count tells them Velveno has been wanting to steal the ring, which is why he wants him stopped.[1]
Aceto promising to wait for Velveno
Aceto appears at the ball, but nobody asks her to dance as all the men find her too beautiful. She goes up to Erza Scarlet, dressed as a prince, and dances with her. Velveno soon reveals himself and successfully takes the ring. After fighting off the Fairy Tail Mages, Velveno tells them that he had only come to propose to Aceto, revealing his true feelings to her. He explains that he turned to crime because Aceto's father refused to let him pursue a relationship with her, and broke out of prison for a chance to confess his feelings. Moved by his actions, Aceto accepts Velveno's proposal under the condition that he turn himself in for his previous crimes. Velveno agrees and is taken away by the Rune Knights, but the two promise to wait for each other.[1]

Trivia[]
- Aceto's name is Italian for "vinegar". Combined with her family's name, "Balsamico", her name would mean "balsamic vinegar", an aromatic type of vinegar known for its mellow flavor caused by a mixture of tartness and sweetness.
