Angel

**Angel** (also known as **Experiment 624**) is one of the recurring characters in the Lilo & Stitch Franchise.

## Background

### Personality

Angel is shown to be seductive and deeply enamoured with Stitch. She is generally friendly but sometimes she can be downright nasty. Since being reformed, her sweeter side shows a lot more. She has a very feminine voice and has been noticed flirting with the other experiments, until Stitch eventually wins her heart.

Oddly enough, Reuben also has a crush on Angel, though she has shown extreme displeasure towards him. Angel was taught the meaning of love and 'ohana by Lilo and Stitch, and would do just about anything for them. She has even helped Stitch out of trouble on several occasions.

### Physical Appearance

Angel is a small, pink female koala-like experiment with a strong feminine resemblance to Stitch, though with two long, tendril-like antennae. She has long eyelashes and large dark purple eyes that seem to be slightly larger than Stitch's eyes. She also has big ears but unlike Stitch's big ears, they lack notches and have more rounded tips. Her nose is purple and smaller than Stitch's. She also has a slightly puffed-out chest and stands slightly shorter than Stitch.

Her colour scheme mirrors Stitch's but with palette-swapped pinks instead of blues. For example, her ears are violet-tipped with light pink insides, her nails are purple and she often possesses lavendar markings behind her that are inconsistently drawn in her animated appearances. In her eponymous debut episode of Lilo & Stitch: The Series and in various Stitch! anime episodes, she has a marking that resembles an upside-down heart. In the series episode "Snafu" and in other anime episodes, her back marking became more abstract and she inexplicably gained a marking on her occupit (the back of her head), much like how Stitch has an occipital marking. In brief scenes of "Snafu" and in Leroy & Stitch, she lacks any markings on her back of her occiput. Various official Disney merchandise, promotional imagery and crossover game appearances (such as Disney Magic Kingdoms) have established that the single upside-down heart-shaped back marking to be the canonical marking. There are lighter spots around her eyes and light fur from the bottom of her mouth to her stomach. In addition, she has a thin white V-shaped marking on her chest.

She once wore a collar with Hämsterviel's phone number on the tag.

### Powers and Abilities

Angel's song causes any formerly evil person who hears it (including rehabilitating experiments created before her) to revert back to evil. Also, when Angel's song is sung backwards, it will have the opposite effect (turning evil people and previous experiments to good). However, experiments that were created after her, namely, Stitch, Reuben 627 and Leroy, are immune to her song.

Like Stitch, Angel has pads on her hands and feet that produce a sticky substance which lets her scale walls and ceilings, a very flexible skeletal system and retractable claws on her front and back paws but unlike Stitch, she lacks an extra pair of retractable arms. She is strong enough to shatter the sealed glass containers but experiments had been captured in by headbutting them; however, the true extent of her strength is unknown. Additionally, she has acrobatic reflexes and is shown to be highly athletic and skilled with karate. She can use her antennae as prehensile limbs in order to reach distant objects or operate mechanisms (such as a button). She is naturally heat resistant to toxins and extremely durable. She is able to speak fluently (but only in the anime), as well as Tantalog, her native language (with a soft Scottish accent).

## Disney Parks

Angel has appeared occasionally in the Disney Parks around the world, most frequently at Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. She has also received Walt Disney World and Disneyland-themed merchandise but she didn't start making costumed appearances in the United States until the late 2010s, first appearing with other Lilo & Stitch characters other than the titular duo at cast member-exclusive events at the Walt Disney World Reservation Center circa 2018. She made her proper American debut in 2019 at a Disney Vacation Club member-exclusive event at Epcot, appearing alongside the Experiment 626 version of Stitch (his full alien form with spacesuit) during said event. On February 14, 2021, she began appearing at Aulani, making her first regular appearances at any American Disney resort.

She was also featured in the New Generation Festival at Disneyland Paris.

Angel makes a brief cameo appearance in Stitch's Great Escape! at the Magic Kingdom when Gantu showcases the galaxy's criminals to the guests.

Angel and some of the other experiments join Stitch and their foes for meet and greets at Disney Village in Disneyland Paris.

### Tokyo Disneyland

Angel appears in the Tokyo DisneySea version of the show, driving a speed boat with a laser pistol in the Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride sequence while Stitch conducts the fountains.

At Tokyo Disneyland, Angel joins Stitch and other characters in the show and she accompanies Stitch when he battles Gantu and Hämsterviel.
