Angela LaCroix

**Angela LaCroix** is a pro hero who graduated from UA High School, and now works under the alias of **Lady Angel**.

## Appearance

A young woman of average height, Angela measures 5'2"; a girl of slender proportions, she weighs 100 lbs. She has a feminine body shape with proportional width dimensions in correspondence to her height. She has thin arms and legs, and a slim waist with a tight stomach. Her breasts are slightly above average in size and are considered notably above average in proportion to her height, but not necessarily large. She has small hands and feet, and a small—but defined—posterior.

With a fair complexion, Angela's skin is soft and delicate. She has fine features and a pretty face. As a result of her quirk, she has golden blond hair, and beautiful blue eyes; her hair is worn long and loose. Additionally, she appears very youthful and full of vitality; her quirk has also extended her lifespan and she is projected to age slowly. When her angel wings emerge, they are a breathtaking swan-white color.

Angela's hero costume mirrors her angel esthetic, and as a result, is completely made of white fabric. On her torso, she wears a revealing, cross-necked, halter top that exposes her midriff and back; the exposed area on her back allows for her wings to emerge without destroying her clothes. Around her waist, she wears a white miniskirt. She forgoes footwear entirely, which is viable, because she can fly and float around without needing to walk or run.

During her years at U.A. High School, Angela wore her school's standard uniform, sporting their white-collared shirt, dark green skirt, red tie, and occasional blazer. She opted to wear black, knee-high socks, paired with student standard brown shoes. Casually, Angela was often seen wearing skirts or dresses of blue, white, or yellow shades. She often wore white short shorts, and was commonly seen wearing a cut tank top.

## Personality

Angela is a kindhearted, caring, and charismatic individual who is deeply loyal to her friends and ideals. Unironically, her demeanor mirrors her angel-esthetic, so much so to the point that those who dislike her think she's putting on airs, or has an angel complex. Such is not the case, and Angela truly does care for those around her. She strives to do good, help those in need, and uphold justice. Though she may not look it, she is brave and courageous, willing to stand her ground and do what is right, even if doing so isn't easy, or is likely to put herself in danger.

Having lived overseas in France for most of her life, Angela is fluent in french, but prone to language mistakes when speaking Japanese. It's a common gag for her to say things incorrectly when speaking japanese, and to have it completely come out or be interpreted the wrong way. She's a very innocent character and embodies purity, so when she says inappropriate things, it often goes over her head, or she simply doesn't understand it.

Intellectually, Angela is quite average, however academically, she is actually good at science. In particular, she finds light-related topics to be interesting and holds a vast knowledge over light's abilities, as a result of her research into her own quirk. She struggles most in language class, as she isn't as proficient in japanese as her peers.

Despite her innocence, Angela is also a popular girl, taking part in trends, has a social media following, and is regularly seen on tv, ads, interviews, and magazines; she is one of the more socially predominant heroes. People love her friendliness, and look up to her as a role model. As a result of her social presence, she is quite wealthy, but chooses to donate alot of her income to charities. Because "Angela" can be difficult for some japanese to say, Angela typically goes by "Ange."

Aside from social media and celebrity events, Angela's hobbies include flying with her wings, going to the beach, researching the light-based properties of her quirk, dancing, and baking.

## History

Angela was born overseas in France and she grew up there for the majority of her youth; her mother was native japanese, and her father was a french businessman. At home, she learned to speak japanese with her mother, and the family would visit japan from time-to-time. Despite her mother's dark hair, she was born with golden blond hair and blue eyes; by the age of 2, she had begun to manifest her quirk: Angel.

At the age of 14, Angela moved to japan with her parents; her father was offered a good position in japan as a result of his ability to speak fluent japanese. At the age of 15, Angela began to attend the prestigious UA High School. During her time at UA, Angela honed her quirk in the hopes of becoming a formidable hero. Her first internship was spent with a hawks (she interned alongside Tokoyami from class 1-A) in order to fully master flight, and after receiving her provisional license, her second internship was spent with a hero who had a deep scientific knowledge of light and its properties.

After graduating from UA High School and becoming a hero, Angela opened her own hero agency. She is known far and wide as "Lady Angel".

## Abilities

Angela is a hero who's capable of manifesting the attributes of angels. Her powers stem from her ability to control and manipulate light in various ways, and she can even produce angel wings for flying. She is known to be incredibly powerful, and in many situations, neigh invincible to ordinary attacks, but if her weaknesses are exploited, she will be powerless and incredible vulnerable.

### Natural Strengths

* **Charisma**: Angela is a social butterfly who knows all the latest trends, is kept up-to-date with celebrities, and is an inspiring character. She's fun to be around, and people look up to her. In many situations, she ends up taking charge and being the leader.
* **Dexterity**: Angela is more flexible than most of her peers, as she did gymnastics and dance for several years back in France.
* **Martial Arts**: Adept in the art of hand-to-hand combat, Angela is familiar with some basic boxing moves.
* **Vitality**: As a result of her quirk, Angela is incredibly healthy, mimicking the immortality of the angels. She rarely gets sick and is projected to live for an incredibly long time, maintaining her youthful appearance.

### Natural Weaknesses

* **Strength**: Angela isn't physically strong, unless she's been empowered by her quirk.
* **Durability**: Unless she's been empowered by her quirk, Angela is far more delicate and fragile compared to other heroes; she cannot take nearly as many hits.
* **Stamina**: While she is capable of fighting in melee combat, Angela will likely tire out much faster than her opponents.
* **Darkness**: If not empowered with light and shrouded in darkness, Angela's body will grow weak and she will struggle to stand and walk.

### Quirk

Angel (天使, Tenshi) is the name of Angela's Quirk. An incredibly powerful quirk, it allows her to take on the attributes and properties of certain depictions of angels, with her power stemming from light. By absorbing light, she empowers herself, granting her the ability to produce beautiful, white angel wings (made from hardlight), as well as the ability to create light from nothing, and to manipulate created or pre-existing light. She can levitate and drift around without the use of her wings, but can only fly at high speeds with their ability to propel her forward. If she is not empowered by light, she cannot create light, only manipulate pre-existing light, or absorb it to empower herself; her ability to manipulate light is lessened if she is not empowered.

While in the presence of an infinite light source, Angela has seemingly limitless quirk power, as she can draw on the pre-existing light, and empower herself to an enormous degree. If empowered, her body gains access to super strength, which she can use to deliver devastating blows to her adversaries. If she is highly empowered, her body will being to glow, ordinary attacks will have little affect on her, and her body will even be able to resist being hit by bullets or being crushed by falling debris. The light she manipulates or creates can also be used in a variety of useful ways, mainly to light up the surrounding area, blind enemies, distract the eyes, conceal herself and others in overwhelming light, create hard-light constructs, and after her quirk awakening, can even be used to heal herself and others.

While in the presence of zero or limited light, Angela's quirk is far less powerful, and in some cases, obsolete. Her ability to empower herself works like charging a battery, so even if she is shrouded in darkness, she can still use her abilities of her empowerment battery still has power. However, once she runs out of power, if she can't find a light source to recharge from, she will be completely unable to use her quirk. In other words, she'll be just as powerful and vulnerable as an average person. In fact, if her empowerment battery reaches near zero and she is shrouded in darkness, she will be physically weaker than the average person, and will struggle to even walk or stand. Additionally, it should be noted that while she can absorb light using any part of her body, if she cannot see any light, her body will not be able to absorb it to empower herself (the light she's absorbing doesn't need to come from the light source she's observing). Furthermore, overusing her quirk causes Angela to become dizzy, although this usually only happens after expending an enormous amount of light energy.
