## History

### Early Life

Little is currently known about Angela's life. During her childhood and presumably adolescent years Angela, at the time known as Paige Griffins, was an L.A. based child actor that frequently starred on television. Angela was in a currently unknown situation where, in her own words, nobody treated her right. Angela's stylist was the only person that showed true compassion for Angela's situation. Later in life her former stylist would become a role model for Angela's future occupation in hairstyling.

At a later point in her life, when Angela wanted a fresh start with life, she was approached by someone who claimed he could help her achieve her dream. Angela accepted his offer and started a new life as Angela Lovell. She soon left LA, her family, and her former job behind in hopes of a new, better life. Angela would later take up a career in hairstyling, looking up to her former stylist.

### The Ultimate Camp

    Angela was one of sixteen student's invited to stay at the Ultimate Camp: an American-based resort intended to stimulate a typical Ultimate Academy environment. After getting off the bus Angela and the rest of her class started to investigate the camp grounds. After introducing herself to Kim Davis she made his way to the Diner, where everyone believed they would meet some of the camp's counsellors. In their place, however, they met a monochromatic bear called 'Monokuma', who claimed to be the student's caretaker. Soon after this, Monokuma revealed the true reason the student's were there; to participate in a killing game, where the only way to leave the camp was by murdering one of their classmates. Left with no other choice the student's began to explore the rest of the camp grounds, including their cabins. When they later reunited with each other they started to discuss their findings, but the conversation was soon interrupted when Norah Yates questioned Victor Moore about his badges. After this the group split up.

### Re-Introducing Herself

The next morning, the rest of the campers returned to the diner for breakfast. During a heated discussion between Norah and several of her classmates Emily Price, noticing Angela's absence, suggested they should find her. At that moment Marina, mistaken to be Angela, entered the diner and introduced herself to everyone else. Wanting to confirm the situation Angela said they were in, Marina asked everyone about the killing game.

When asked why Angela didn't talk about her disorder when she first met everyone, Marina showed everyone the book she, Angela, and Angie use to communicate with each other. The previous night Angela left behind a message to Marina, worried that the other's would find them 'crazy' if she wasn't in control. Soon after explaining this to the other campers Monokuma suddenly appeared and, in order to incentivize the others, revealed the first killer could save another person of their choice. In addition to this he revealed that another area had been opened up. Despite this, everyone decided to remain in the Diner for the time being, trying to enjoy the breakfast Autumn and Norah had prepared.

### The Sleepover

After Angie fronts and gets in a tearful interaction with Dennis Wells, she is comforted by Jesse Miles who suggested she and some of the other campers had a sleepover. Later that day Angie brought up the idea with the rest of her classmates, eventually getting Kim, Harmony, Marie, Melody, and Emily to attend the night after. While waiting for Harmony to arrive Angie and everyone else decided to play board games, with Marie and Melody winning most of the games. No matter how long they waited however, Harmony never arrived. The next morning everyone was awoken when the Body Discovery Announcement went off.

As everyone arrived to the crime scene, each camper found Glenn's corpse. Soon after this the investigation to find his killer began. During the investigation several campers find Glenn's diary, which had the letters 'ANG' left behind in it. A few moments later when Marina, following Angela's panic, returned to the crime scene and saw Glenn's body for the first time, she swore that neither her, nor Angie, or Angela would ever murder anyone. Unsure about the killing game's rules, they are explained to Marina by Marie, Jesse, and Marcus.

### The First Class Trial

At the end of the investigation the campers are taken to the Class Trial grounds; a dimly lit cave underneath the camp grounds. As the campers start to discuss the murder, they eventually decide to discuss everyone's alibis. With Angie, Kim, Marie, Melody, and Emily all present at the sleepover at the time of the murder, Marina suggested the killer was more likely to be one of the guys. Due to the motive's rules, Marcus deducted that Jesse, Alexander, and Victor would be the most affected by the motive, due to each of them having at least one other person they were close with. However, suspicion soon falls onto Angela when the note Alexander received is brought up. Confused by this Marina demanded to see the letter he was sent, and was soon angered claiming Angela would never write the message.

In order to move the topic, Marie brought up Glenn's assumed dying message, which Marina tried to disprove by recalling the MonoFile's details. Despite this, many campers were left unconvinced, especially when Marie discussed how Glenn had been stabbed two other times in the stomach. Later in the Class Trial Hunter is made suspect after he started to act strangely. Furthermore, it is soon discovered that the alibi's for Autumn, Harmony, and Norah were unverifiable, with their watches being tampered with at some point. Through further discussion the evidence becomes stacked against Autumn. After Marie goes through the events of the case Autumn begins to breakdown, until snapping at Hunter and Norah. As she reached for Hunter's necklace, hidden in Succi's pot, she is instead silenced when she finds a rock in its place.

At that moment Norah, who had stole the real necklace from Autumn earlier that day, returned it to Hunter. With Autumn having effectively confessed to the crime she is found guilty by the rest of the campers.

After Autumn's execution Marcus revealed a page from Glenn's diary, discussing his thoughts of everyone there.

## Creation and Development

### Creation

Angela was one of the few characters that were fully planned out since the beginning of Danganronpa V4 Rocky Restarts, due to the research and backstory planning that was needed for her condition. Ever since the beginning of their creation it was intended for Angela and Angie to be daily life-focused, while Marina would front during the class trials. During early creation this gave Marina the early name of 'smart Lovell', until she was later given her name based on the welsh singer MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds).

### Design Notes

While redesigning Angela during 2020, Stephen based Angela's new clothing style on the Rockabilly fashion style to contrast with her sweet personality. In her redesign Angela was given multiple tattoo's based on designs she had designed in her notebook. The three roses on her right arm are meant to represent her, Marina, and Angie, while the hearts on her left shoulder similarly represent them, with the realistic-looking heart representing Angela.

### Scrapped Content

Unused Content*This article discusses unused content that did not appear in the final project.*
#### "Alter One"

**"Alter One"** (name unknown) was an alter who was meant to appear in the main game. Little is currently known about him, although a sprite was left behind in the game's files.

After he was forgotten about for the majority of the games development, he was planned to appear in Chapter Two's deadly life. However, with the games cancellation this never happened. In the original script Angela would have dissociated following Melody's death. After running away from the crime scene, 'Alter One' would have fronted for the rest of the chapter. His personality is noted to be similar to Janeesh Deol from Danganronpa: Eternal Endings.

When he ran away following Melody's death, he would have gone to the Laundry Room and changed into a different outfit. This consisted of clothing pieces from several other participants; including the leather coat that Victor wears, the tie that Marcus wears, the shirt that Hunter wears, and the pants that Julien wears.

#### Chapter One

In the original outline for Chapter One, Angela would have been targeted by Autumn Palmer. When later framed by her, she would have become a primary suspect during the Class Trial. She would have later been proven innocent when Alexander's alibi contradicts Angela's appearance.

#### Chapter Two

During the second Class Trial Angela would have been cleared of suspicion based on her alibi.

##### Truth Bullets

 **Angela and Hunter:** | Hung out from 5:35 to 8:00. Hunter shows her how to manifest good vibes before the two decide to go to the party early, which is when Hunter’s original account happens.

### Chapter Three

#### Rewrite

Following the events of Chapter Two, a massive storm would have passed through the camp, forcing Monokuma to pause the killing game. After the power went off elsewhere in the camp, Angela would have been one of the many campers to go out in the storm, wanting to be liked by the rest of the group. She later would have been one of the chapter's victims. Due the games cancellation no other details about Angela's death were planned.

#### Original Outline

In the original Chapter Three outline the camp would have been affected by a hallucinogenic gas, with the exception of Angela. After Kim started to receive anonymous love letters, Angela and Hunter would agree to act as Kim's bodyguard's. When the letter's began to become more violent, later stating the sender would kill Kim, the trio would isolate themselves from the rest of the camp for safety. However, she would later be ambushed and pushed off the hiking trail. A few moments later she would wake up to find Hunter impaled on the nearby flagpole. Injured, Kim tried to make her way back to the camp but soon stumbled on a trail of blood.

After being pushed off the trail with Hunter and Kim, Angela would have initially survived the fall but been severely injured. While trying to crawl back to the camp she would have succumbed to her injuries and later been found by Kim.

Following Kim's survival she would have made it back to the camp and been patched up by Chinatsu. Later, the investigation would begin. Although details of the Class Trial were not shared, it would eventually be revealed that Angela, Hunter, and Kim were attacked by Marcus Ziegler who, severely affected by the hallucinogenic gas, would have become a yandere for Kim. In the way, he attacked and killed Hunter and Angela.

#### Additional Notes

During Chapter Three, Marina would have befriended Marcus. Angela, and by extent Angie, dying would emotionally wreck Jesse.

#### Chapter Five

While investigating the camp the survivors would have found missing posters for Paige Griffin, Angela's birth identity. At some point in time she would have been found by her parent's and forcefully signed up for the show. This was later cut from her memory.

## Personality

* Angela
* Angie
* Marina

Angela is a kind-hearted and friendly person who loves to see people satisfied with her work. Throughout the events of the killing game Angela fronts less often than Angie or Marina, although when she does, can be seen happily interacting with the rest of the campers. Due to her work in the past Angela becomes extremely uncomfortable with anything TV-related, even extending to the mere mention of a person's talent. Trying to distance herself from her past as much as possible, Angela tries to avoid everything to do with her past work. However, because of this, some of her classmates have felt troubled with talking to Angela, with her often avoiding Melody and Dennis to their work. To this extent, Angela doesn't remember much about her time in L.A.

Anxious about people's perception of her, Angela initially tried to keep her disorder a secret from the rest of her classmates, fearing they would see her as 'crazy'. Before learning about the killing game Angela wanted to open up to other's, although is made reluctant afterwards.

Alike Angela, Angie is a friendly and extremely sociable person who often fronts during the Daily Life portion of the chapters. Befitting of her more laidback behaviour she frequently interacts with the other campers, quickly developing friendships with a number of them. Early on she developed a friendship with Jesse, who comforted her after a conversation with Dennis Wells. Afterwards Angie would act with Jesse throughout the rest of the killing game; she later invited others to a sleepover based on an idea he had, and baked a cake with him for Emily's birthday. Although she can be seen wanting the others to talk with him more, Angie also becomes disappointed with Jesse after his frequent bullying towards Melody.

Due to her past work Angie becomes uncomfortable when talking about TV-related topics; upon learning Dennis's talent, she immediately became tearful and ran away.

Marina is an intelligent and protective person, who fronts whenever Angela faces high moments of stress. In place of Angela, Marina fronts during the Class Trial's and after the Body Discovery Announcements, and works with the rest of the participants to solve the cases. Due to her closeness with Angela and Angie, Marina is shown to be defensive of them both, and sees them with high-regard, believing neither of them would ever hurt another person.

Following the start of the killing game, Marina revealed Angela's disorder with the rest of the participants against the latter's wishes, needing to confirm the situation they were in. Marina initially believed the killing game was a joke.
## Talent and Abilities

### Ultimate Hairstylist

As the Ultimate Hairstylist, Angela styles hair for numerous people. Angela loves her job and adores seeing other peoples satisfaction with her work, stating that it makes her feel "great" . Despite this Angela only styles hairs for non-celebrities, and has only styled a celebrity's hair once before. During this incident Angela recalls that she kept fainting while styling the celebrity's hair causing her to break her nose, and causing parts of the celebrity's hair to be messed up in the end.

Angela learned about hairstyling when she lived in LA, likely as part of her family work. When she moved away and changed her identity, she thought starting a salon was the best idea.

Although Angie has some hairstyling knowledge, she believes she's not as good as Angela. In addition to this she states that Angela had the most interest in hairstyling, and that she and Marina don't share as much interest in it.
