    Teresa was a Saint; I'm known as Tracy.

    *Teresa "Tracy" Bond / Countess Teresa di Vicenzo (née Draco) was the daughter of criminal syndicalist Marc-Ange Draco and the wife of James Bond. Based on the literary character from the 1963 Ian Fleming novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the Bond girl appeared in the 1969 film of the same name, portrayed by the late British actress Diana Rigg. She is notable for being the only cinematic woman to officially marry the series' titular character.

    Born Teresa Draco in 1943, she is the only child of Marc-Ange Draco, the head of the Unione Corse, a powerful Corsican crime syndicate – not quite as large as SPECTRE, but with substantially larger "legal" operations, including Draco Construction. Teresa goes by "Tracy" because she feels "Teresa" does not suit her (as she introduced herself to Bond, "Teresa is a saint; I'm known as Tracy"). Tracy's mother died in 1955; her father then sent her to a boarding school in Switzerland. Deprived of a stable home life, Tracy joined the "international fast set", committing "one scandal after another"; when Draco cut off her allowance, Tracy committed "a greater folly" out of spite. She later married Italian Count Giulio di Vicenzo who subsequently died alongside one of his mistresses, while behind the wheel of a Maserati.*
