## Biography

### Early life

Angelica met Anita Ibrahim at a young age. Seeing as Anita's parents were Egyptian like Angelica's father, the two girls spent a lot of time around each other and became very good friends. They became even closer when they witnessed the fall of Nick Reyes by Lucifer Morningstar (Nightingale at the time). They were quickly ushered away afterwards to play at Anita's house while investigations and trials went on.

When Angelica and Anita were 13, they realized they had feelings for each other and began dating. A year after, Angelica caught feelings for their mutual friend, Evangeline Reaux, who was previously absent due to her father getting a job far away from Angel and Anita. However, when she returned, Angelica broke up with Anita and got with Evangeline.

### Attack on the Empire

On the day the Empire was attacked, Angelica was at Anita's house with Evangeline so the three could go out to the Galleria for a light outing. Annie's aunt, Dina, invited the three to breakfast, and they promptly accepted. At the table, the three girls made small talk. After Anita made a joke about breaking up with her boyfriend and having a girlfriend hidden away somewhere, Evangeline countered with how Anita made her "choice," referring to her bisexuality. Angelica, helpless, let it all unfold, unable to do anything. Thankfully, Dina came to Anita's rescue, and the incident was swiftly dealt with.

At the Galleria, Anita and Angelica went to the Observatory and Evangeline went to go look for summer dresses. They agreed to meet at the food court after an hour. Before entering the tickets line for the Observatory, Angelica apologized to Anita for Evangeline's behavior.

Sometime between the food court and the attack, Evangeline and Angelica snuck off together. After their rendezvous together, Angelica eventually went home and that was when the Infernal invasion began. Demons broke into her home and murdered her father, as well as her two younger sisters, Noemi and Mona. By the time she and her mother reached the main floor, the three were already dead. Angelica and Chesah quickly dealt with demons. Chesah told Angelica to run and find her friends. which she did. When she found Evangeline, they fought side by side all the way to the Alina Gateway, where they reunited with Anita.

They all got caught up and Angelica broke the news that Gabe was fighting off an army of demons at the Galleria with the other Archangels and they needed to find him. Evangeline and Anita followed her and they all fought alongside each other until they were separated in the chaos. During the brief period of separation, someone managed to put a shadow demon inside Evangeline, cursing her. Now with uncontrollable new powers and abilities, Evangeline unintentionally lashed out and tore Angelica's heart out and began eating it, instantly killing her.

Anita threatened to kill her, but ultimately let Evangeline go, knowing that living with what she did was infinitely worse than death.
