Character Name: Angel the Siren Series: Borderlands Timeline: Immediately Post-death Canon Resource Links:Here!
Personality: Angel began her time in the Borderlands universe as a pawn, a tool used by Handsome Jack to reach his goals. Under Jack’s eye, and trapped in the prison that would slowly become her death chamber, she had little agency of her own. Angel was driven by guilt, presumably over her mother’s death, and manipulated into believing that her father wanted what was best for both her and Pandora. With no other option, and no one else to turn to, she had no choice but to listen to Jack.
On the surface, Angel is an incredibly helpful. Whether or not it comes from her abilities, or perhaps from acquired knowledge, her experience with technology allows her to quickly unlock doors and allow for her allies to swiftly navigate the wilds of Pandora. Her days on Pandora usually consisted of helping wayward Vault Hunters and other souls on their missions. While Angel certainly does consider herself to be helpful in many ways, much of the work she did was far from selfless. Her guidance was a facade, one to further the goals of both her father and Hyperion.
Though she had no other options, she still holds herself accountable for what she did. Her machinations led to a great many deaths, many of which happened to those she might have considered her friends.
While it would be perfectly reasonable for Angel to excuse her behavior, at least given her lack of options, never once has she done so. It can be surmised that the same guilty conscience that kept her from refusing Jack is what led her to turn on him. In the end, Angel gave her life to make up for the damage she had caused by perpetuating his rise to power.
In spite of the trauma she has endured, there is still a level of childlike innocence to Angel, and an ability to see the positives in most anyone. While most of Pandora loathes the robot Claptrap, she considers him a “funny little robot.” Though she makes a few jabs at Scooter, she deeply respects his talents.
Despite her meek nature at times, and playful demeanor in others, when it comes down to it, Angel is also firm and unshakeable when she needs to be. During the last few minutes of her life, she does not hesitate to put Roland into his place, insisting he finish his duties and end her life. She is stalwart in the face of her death.
In speaking, even during times out from beneath Jack’s thumb, Angel still feels his influence. She often curbs her tongue, avoiding swearing and correcting herself whenever one does manage to make its way out. It is only fitting then that Angel’s final act of rebellion happened to be calling her father an asshole.
In the end, Angel's most prominent trait is her strength. Despite his every effort to manipulate Angel, to coerce her to his side and to make her believe in his genocidal wrath, Angel stood strong. Though she may have done a great deal of things she would come to regret, in the end, she died for what she thought was right.
Angel was strong enough to face death itself.

Samples RP Sample:Here Victory Road Sample: [Angel has been here before. Several times, in fact. She doesn't even startle as she emerges from blissful black to bustling brightness. Mom isn't her Mom, but she's grown familiar enough that she even throws a hug around those shoulders before heading out.
Yes, her legs are weak. Yes, her mind still feels a little foggy. But for all intents and purposes, she is home.
A little tree is found before she hunkers down. She fishes around in her bag a few times before alighting on the Pokeball she's been offered.]
Okay, let's see what we have!
[She presses the button, and, well... Suffice to say, she doesn't expect quite as many teeth to pop out. She startles immediately, shrinking behind the tree before gradually easing out.]
Alright. This is... fine.
[Angel's tamed a raging Alpha Braviary once before. Surely she can manage a Mawile! She holds her hand out, palm up mind you, in an offering for the creature. Its maw brushes over her, before the creature turns and regards her with crossed arms. The two lock eyes for a moment, before the Pokemon seems appeased and settles down.]
See, not so bad. [She isn’t sure if she’s talking to herself, or the creature at this point. But either way, she keeps on rambling.] You probably know more about this world than even I do but… Let’s make sure we are both up to speed, alright? You and I are partners now. And hopefully we will get to be friends soon enough.
[The Mawile seems to chuff at this. Angel only laughs.]
Give it time. If nothing else, when we gather my team up once more, you will have plenty of creatures to compete with. And if that is not enough, Armin’s won the Pokemon League, so he has a whole team ready for you to fight.
[She does pause at that. Her brows pinch.]
He will still be here, don’t worry.
[The toothy maw of her new friend angles, as the creature’s head cocks. Angel quickly offers a reassuring smile.]
Like I said. Don’t worry. [For now, she rises up to her feet. Her arms extend to the sky as she carefully stretches out. Then she takes her first step back onto Route 29. The dirt crunches beneath her feet, a sensation that’s almost familiar. She takes a deep breath of the warm summer air, and then sets out.]
Alright, my new friend. Let’s see what this new journey holds.
