Appears rather pixie-like. Despite that, she is very much tomboyish, though she does occasionally like to make sure she looks decent. In all honesty, she looks more like the kind of girl who should be a model instead of a mech fighter. More often than not, her looks cause her opponents to underestimate her.
Biography
Angela was born on one of the small colonies on Earth's moon and was raised by her grandparents, her parents owning a few decently-sized factories that build and repair mechs. She was born on the moon because her parents didn't want her to live on Earth which was no place for a child to grow up on due to the fighting going on in some areas and the intense mech combat in the more peaceful countries. So, the first ten years of her life was spent going to one of the better schools on the moon and growing up. Despite that, she discovered the joys of Mech Combat when she was 10 after watching an underdog pilot defeat a champion pilot in a wild 1v1 match. From that day forward, she was interested in combat mechs. By the time she was thirteen, she learned how to drive a small loader mech, the very one that that her grandfather drove to load and unload shipping containers at the colony's main port. When she was sixteen, she caught the attention of someone who worked on the mech combat circuit. It turned out that the guy had never seen someone so young pilot a machine like that with such ease and thought she had potential. By the time she was eighteen, she was piloting a Light mech and winning one-vs-one battles with little effort in the lower leagues of the circuit. By the time she was twenty, she'd upgraded to a Heavy mech and was working on two-man teams for a change. However, she quickly found that her style of battle clashed with most of the teammates' she sided with. By the time she was twenty-one, she'd won one of the larger tournaments and that supplied her enough money, along with the selling of her winning Heavy mech, to buy a custom Colossal mech.
Her parents, having followed her progress, helped her upgrade and work on her newest mech which was based on an 'Omni-Shell' system, one of the most adaptable of the Colossal Mech shells. Her parents were thrilled to learn that she was planning on piloting the newest mech type and helped upgrade it according to her strengths. Thus, the Ragnarok was born.
Angela eventually took this machine to win a number of smaller championships and excelled in Free-for-all battles. In just two years, she achieved enough victories and made friends in key locations to receive an invite to this year's grand championship as one of three Dark Horse picks. There, she fought her way to 7th place, surprising a number of people with her skill and dogged determination. After such a hard-fought victory, reaching the top ten in that tournament, she and Ragnarok returned to the Moon for repairs, upgrades, and reloading. She planned to stay there for a few weeks before returning to Earth just in time to enter the new season.
