IC INFORMATION

Name: Angela
Canon: Library of Ruina
Age: Creation-wise, somewhere around 10 years, but she was designed after Carmen, who was likely somewhere in her 20s. Mentally, she's about the same, but due to being trapped in a timeloop for over thousands of resets (and perceiving them much, much slower, culminating in it feeling more like a million years passing) in the ten years she was alive, her emotional growth is more in-line with that of a teenager in the middle of a rebellious streak.
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Appearance: Image
Canon point: After killing Roland and the other librarians in her alternate bad end, achieved by not finishing all of her realizations; the only one she's missing is Hokma's floor.

History: Lobotomy Corporation & Library of Ruina; both contain spoilers.

Personality answers:
There are UNMARKED SPOILERS for Lobotomy Corporation and Library of Ruina past here!
1. Who in your character's canon influenced the most growth in your character? What do they think about this character?

Without question a whole host of characters have influenced Angela over the course of her long-short life, but there is no one moreso than Roland, the Fixer who shows up on her doorstep without an invitation from her, that encourages her to change. He explains why things are the way they are in the City, oversees her slow transformation into a human, and becomes something like a confidant to her. She speaks to him more freely than she has to anyone before, and he's someone she treasures a great deal! Which is why is hurts so much when he reveals his reason for being at the Library, betrays her trust, and attempts to kill her. In the True Ending, she spares him, having learned that the cycle of violence isn't one she wants to partake in any longer. In the Angela Ending, she cries as she ends his life, then turns on the rest of the Librarians, convinced they'll try to kill her after getting her to let her guard down. She ends up spending the rest of her life alone and miserable in the Library, human like she wanted to be but no happier for it, because she has no one to share it with and with an entire City looking to destroy her and her Library.

2. Your character must live with only one sense for a year. They are allowed to choose. What do they pick? Why? How do they cope?

In her ideal world, Angela would for sure pick taste—being able to enjoy food is something she's never been able to do as an android, and in her ideal world, she has friends to watch her back! Unfortunately, she does not come from her ideal world, so she would end up settling for vision. She's done without most of her senses for the majority of her life already, so one more year would be irritating but doable. She would just have to live to that point, and being able to see what or who is coming is best for her. To cope with not being able to hear, however, she'd have to resort to more simplistic ways of communication and keeping a heightened awareness of her surroundings.

3. What is justice to your character? How important is it to them?

"…I only want to be compensated for my suffering."

For Angela, "justice" is the vengeance—the compensation—she thinks she's owed for the suffering she's experienced thanks to Ayin, the City who desired an easy way out for their power needs, and the loneliness she's been burdened with by being the only one who remembers each and every time the scenario for the "Seed of Light" project failed to reach fruition and reset. She would do anything for it, and in the end, she did. The future of her ending, from the canon point chosen for her, sees her Library rise as a Star of the City for thirteen long years, killing millions of people as she sits in solitude in her ivory tower.

In a broader sense, her justice is very "an eye for an eye," and is something that kept her going for millions of resets.

4. What would be your character's lowest, darkest moment they've lived through? How did they respond to their troubles and face their demons?

Angela's darkest moments are the ones where she has to face reality and either grow from it, or use it as a reason to pull back. For the former, her final talks with the Librarians—ones where she goes into a hyper-emotional state and transforms into something more monstrous thanks to the Library's influence. Completing all of these successfully gives her the chance to forgive Roland and get a good ending for them both! But—missing even one of them, as is the case for this iteration of Angela, means that her worst moment in Library of Ruina becomes a lesson in the latter. Hurt by Roland's lying and attempt on her life, she kills him, then the Librarians when they turn against her upon seeing what she's done. She regrets her humanity, her heartache, her decisions to let anyone in or remedy her loneliness, because it only hurts her—a definite step back in her development.

She's never really handled being used by dark haired men very well, considering her father/creator Ayin considered her a tool and scorned her for not being exactly what (or rather, who) he wanted her to be, and is the primary reason for her resentment and revenge seeking.

Inventory:
1. "The Perfect Book" (known by other titles such as "the absolute book" "the one book" etc), a singular book that Angela states can teach her everything she needs to know and help her achieve her freedom. It's made of the light collected by the Library, and was finished by booking Roland. Despite its properties, it doesn't seem to be magic, but is just a collection of scientific and technological knowledge amassed from the people of The City. Their world is weird like that.

2. Her "wish list," aka a list of things she wanted to do once she became human and left the Library. Roland suggested she make one so she could think about the "after," and it has things like try certain foods, go places with him, so on.

3. A red ponytail band.

Powers/Abilities:
○ Able to "book" visitors of the Library, aka when they're defeated she turns them into a book that can then be read; it contains their life stories.
○ Prior to becoming fully human, she had super speed and super strength due to becoming an android; she doesn't have those now.
○ She can dismiss and locate the Librarians with a snap of her fingers within the Library.
○ While Angela only fights once in the entirety of Ruina, she uses special E.G.O. pages that hail from her Floor Realizations (found on her wiki page). Due to her canon point, she would be missing the one gained from Hokma.

Samples: Here & Here
Player Goals: To play with Angela's guilt, her trust issues, and let her enjoy life as a human... and to ruin her life a little when inevitably everything goes to shit and all her secrets she's trying to keep to herself come out!!! Most importantly, to have a good time. I'd really like her to have a second chance to make a different choice—essentially, try to have her realizations again and learn the importance of forgiveness, both for herself and others. Empathy, understanding, and the desire to move forward in order to break the cycle of violence.
