Anga (SIA)

Angelica Chiku "Anga" Kimani is a main character in Siblings In Action and Rebel Bladers.
== Appearance ==
Anga appears almost the exact same as her show version albeit with slightly brighter feathers.
== Personality ==
Anga is rather blunt, preferring to be honest instead of sugarcoating, even to the Cadets. However, she doesn't usually insult someone unless they make her angry or she's talking to someone she hates.
However, she seems to have a soft spot for children, especially the younger members of the Rebel Bladers. She often comforts the Crusaders or Cadets when they're distressed or when their Beys break. She cares especially deeply about her co-stars, especially Flora. She is one of the first ones to comfort Fuli when the latter cries after Flora suffers multiple panic attacks and flashes a look of concern to the others. When Flora cries after going to her for advice, Anga simply hugs them and lets them cry into her wings, sympathizing with them. When they calm down enough to stop crying, Anga asks if they're alright and keeps hugging them.
Under Anga's tough facade lies an inner insecurity of failing to live up to others' expectations. When her feelings of self-doubt grow larger, she becomes overwhelmed and withdrawn. She also lashes out more in that state.
She is quite intelligent, as she usually analyzes a Bey's hidden abilities before anything else, and even devises strategies to unlock them. She also maintains a high GPA in school and takes multiple advanced classes, leading to her earning a partial scholarship to Johns Hopkins University. She even helps other students who struggle in classes she has high knowledge of.
Anga becomes more emotional towards the end of senior year, as it finally hits her that she will no longer be in the same school as some of her friends. Because of this, she also becomes more clingy, but quickly drops this habit after being told off, but still struggles to let go of her friends. During her final week of high school, she begins breaking down regularly at the thought of saying goodbye, ending with her uncontrollably crying during the Senior Goodbye Rally.

== Relationships ==
=== Ono Maui Aukai ===
Ono has been Anga's boyfriend since just before eighth grade, having been friends since seventh grade. When Anga was injured on set during filming of "Fire from the Sky," Ono noticed something was wrong and quickly dove to save Anga from falling and injuring herself further. Once the cameras stopped rolling, he immediately flew to Rafiki to seek medical attention for Anga.
=== Fuli Haraka-Sana ===
Fuli and Anga are best friends, always looking out for each other on and off the set. When Anga was injured on set during filming of "Fire from the Sky," Fuli helps Anga off the set while Flora screams at a director for not helping.
In You Can Be Queen Again, when Fuli is upset about how Flora is treated by a few of their peers, Anga is the first to comfort her.
=== Flora Linniaro ===
Flora and Anga are best friends. When Anga was accidentally injured on set while filming "Fire from the Sky" (resulting in an improvised scene), Flora was one of the first to check if their new friend was ok and when it was clear that she wasn't, Flora stayed with her and helped her, going so far as to make eye contact with one of the directors while the cameras were rolling and later shouting at said director for not noticing Anga was clearly in pain.
In You Can Be Queen Again, Anga let Flora cry into her wings as she comforted them. She is visibly enraged when she hears about earlier events and reassures Flora that they are so much better than that.
