Angelica Asano

"*What part of that monster was ever my father? His strength? His heart? His mind? His thoughts? No he is not my blood relative, or he is but I would never claim him as such. Understand this well, I`ll never be like my father. I`m kind where he is calculating, I am strong where he is weak. Where he is strong I am weak, but I grow stronger, better, becoming more of a person with each failure and roadblock I encounter. I go stronger through facing adversary.* "
—Angelica to Class 3-E

**Angelica Asano** (浅野 アンジェリカ *Asano Anjerika*) is a student in Class 3-E at Kunugigoka Junior High School and one of the *Student Assistants*, that helped the Class in daily homework assignments. She is the female Vice-President, one of the best students in the entire school, the only daughter of the Board Chairman Gakuho Asano and the sister of Gakushu Asano. Unlike her father and brother, she holds no interest in their petty squabbles, preferring to make her father mad so that he rejects her birthright so that she may be free. She is the illegitimate daughter of Gakuho Asano, born out of wedlock to the young noble a descendant of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Minerva Tokugawa. Ashamed of the birth of a daughter she never wanted to bear, Angelica was put into the foster system without the consent of Gakuho who eventually rescued her. A bit of a rebel she has always rejected her heritage and considers herself a stain upon her family. At first she was rejected by the entire class just because she was related to the Principal of the School, but the class later warmed up to her upon realizing that she had rejected everything about her life from the moment that she was born to the moment she decided that she wanted to escape.

## Appearance

Angelica has wavy, blonde hair (pink in the anime) that reaches to the middle of her back and piercing violet eyes (rose-gold in the anime). She is described as being rather pretty, with an elegant air floating about her that makes people want to get to know her. She is the only one of the siblings that does not resemble their father, she highly resembles her mother. Her father the Principal has allowed her to wear a tan sweater-vest and a pink skirt as her school uniform, underneath her sweater-vest she wears a white button-up shirt with a red tie. She styles her hair with a butterfly hairclip, pinned on the right side of her hair.

## Personality

Like many of the students in Class 3-E, Angelica is tired with dealing with the bullying and teasing of the students who hail from the Main Building and often shows her open disgusted stance on them by literally shoving them out a window which consequently led to her suspension and her being given a warning. Level-headed, calm-headed, kind-hearted, warm, and brave, Angelica is a stern motivator who is skilled in manipulating her friends (pawns) as she refers to them to her advantage on their agreed terms. Her keen mind is used to benefit her friends and crush her enemies for the sake of protecting her fellow classmates from harm.

Befitting her genius intellect and heritage, Angelica is a driven individual who plans based on the information that she gathers and collects on her target`s weak points. Unlike her father, Angelica does not manipulate anybody for her own gain, she does it to protect the people she considers to be her friends, namely her classmates. After Yana a childhood friend of Angelica almost commits suicide, her manipulative side is shown as she turns Yana`s bullies into drug addicts and gets them expelled from school. This act caught the attention of Gakushu who noted that he knew that his father had a bastard child and he had always wondered who that was only for her to be revealed as the most weak-willed person that he had ever had encountered before. Her kind nature prevents her from manipulating people as she takes into account other people`s feelings towards being manipulated by somebody else, having been manipulated by her father in the earlier years of her childhood. Her sense of mortality is such that even her classmates describe her as a star shining in the darkness, a reference to the fact that Angelica is so innocent that it would be cruel if Angelica was murdered, mained or killed in some horrible way as her words and heart encourage people than her manipulating people to join her cause. A honorable soul, she places high value on honesty and does not believe that lying is good unless you are trying to protect somebody else from danger, even then she still believes that lying is bad.

## Synopsis

### **First Semester: End of Term Time**

Angelica makes her debut appearance during the finals of the First Semester, as the leader of the Class 3-E Protection Squad and Class 3-E as one of the assistants and one of the top-scoring students of Kunugigoka. She had returned from being hospitalized due to a tumor discovered in her stomach that would have killed her if it was not removed soon, and returned to the class being informed of Koronsensei by her father as soon as she stepped into the doors of Kunugigoka. When she sees Karma, she greets him with a friendly wave with Gakushu muttering bastard child underneath his breath at Angelica. That causes the usually calm and level-headed Angelica to pin her brother with a death glare so cold that even the students watching the two students froze in their places. Replying with ¨*If I am a bastard child then what are you? You may have been our parents` favorite but know this if I wanted to I could kill you right here and now. Want to know why I not doing that, because I wanted to see your face crushed in utter despair. That would be a treat to the eyes of Karma, considering he has a crush on you after all.¨* The said statement makes Karma glare at Angelica who simply smirked smugly at Karma before pushing past Gakushu with a brisk pace.
