Little things

Due to the religious theme of the game with the Sephiroth, Angela likely fits into it with her name, which likely comes from the Greek ángelos, which could mean "messenger of God", reflecting her former habits of being a megalomaniac/being some sort of god, and her status as a secretary. Angela becomes noticeably colder towards you once she returns A's memories to you, foreshadowing her betrayal and hatred towards A (which stems from A initially rejecting her because she was nothing like Carmen). B suggested the possibility that Angela herself was abnormal. Carmen was actually an incredibly good person, which led to her downfall. She even told A, "If anyone gets hurt or gets into trouble because of what I do, I'm definitely going to hate myself. I know that.", while telling him to continue her work if she dies. Angela was created out of grief after Carmen's death. At the end, Angela explains her selfish desires as Carmen's natural desire to live after the world was saved. She also acknowledges her evil in comparison to Carmen earlier, calling her the hand of light that was cut off by the world. When Angela was first created, she was quite unstable. She would laugh, then cry, then laugh again, etc. She also didn't speak for longer than A and B expected. Interestingly, Carmen and Angela's eyes are very different, despite Angela's appearance being based on Carmen. Carmen's eyes were large and red in color, although they were not visible for most of the game. Angela's eyes are yellow (very similar to A's), small, and usually closed. Angela's physical body was made primarily from the bodies of two department heads after they died and became Sephiroth. Namely, two people named Kali (Geburah) and Daniel (Chesed).

History

Angela's story begins in the prequel of "Lobotomy Corporation", namely in the true ending. After achieving the goal of her creator A, the seed of light grew, and Angela was able to obtain some of this light to create the Library. After which she began wearing an "alternate" outfit. Angela is making final preparations for the opening when Roland suddenly "bursts" into the library. She manages to subdue and interrogate the intruder, who is unable to answer her questions clearly, but says that he got there without even noticing. After Roland fails to answer Angela's questions properly, she punishes him by cutting off his limbs, causing him to pass out. Angela later changes her outfit to that of a librarian, and restores Roland's body. She assigns Roland as her assistant, explaining to him that he will be fighting the guests, people who will arrive at the invitations Angela wrote, and who, when defeated, will turn into books that will help her find "the book" to free herself. With no other options, Roland decides to make the most of his situation. Angela continues to work at the Library thanks to Roland, who helps during receptions; between invitations, Roland and Angela talk about themselves, the city, the individual groups that operate throughout the city, and the guests themselves, whose invitations show the situation in which the guests will want or be forced to come to the Library.

brief information

"My name is Angela. I am the Chief Librarian and the Director of the Library." - Angela Angela is the main NPC of the game and the creator of the Library. She is an AI Secretary who, after the end of Lobotomy Corporation, uses the power of the Library to further her own goals.

Biography

Angela was originally based on a person named Carmen, A's love interest and mentor and the founder of lobotomy corporation, known for her pure ideals, lofty dreams, and incredible charisma. After Carmen's suicide, due to her blaming herself for the death of a child test subject (which was actually most likely caused by A), A worked for many years before her neural patterns were transferred into Angela's body (Carmen's real nervous system and brain were used to create a substance called cogito), and modified by A so that she did not contain both Carmen's strongest and weakest side - emotions. Unfortunately, this results in A's initial desire to destroy Angela, her first real words being "I remember you, A, you had a kind heart", but he suppresses this desire despite her inability to show affection towards him like Carmen did. Angela eventually manages to sabotage the player/Carmen's hard work in creating hope for the future for all of humanity, resulting in unstable souls. Afterwards, she creates a library and cuts her hair, symbolizing her rebirth.

Personality

At the beginning of the game, Angela is quite pleasant to the player, helpfully telling the player what to do and maintaining a good mood even during tragedy. However, Angela herself is actually colder and more calculating, which becomes increasingly apparent, she feels no attachment to her workers or fellow Sephira and simply wants to collect energy. A great example of both traits is when she used the Anomaly to destroy the Wellfare team in order to gain more energy, since there was no breach beforehand. She perfectly represents the utilitarian (Shallow) side of the Lobotomy Corporation, however, in the end, it is revealed that her actual loyalty is false. Its ultimate goal is to destroy the company and, if necessary, kill the player in order to have a taste of "Human" life, as well as take revenge on its creators for being denied it since birth (As it turns out, this is A, who also happens to be you, but whose memories were removed at your command in order to try to achieve a better outcome in the game's cycles. Hence the name "Lobotomy Corporation").

Library Ruins

During the events of Library Ruin, Angela presents herself as a cold, stoic, stern, and no-nonsense individual, ambitious and obsessed with achieving her goal of gaining a human body and getting revenge on the City for all of her suffering. While there have been times where she has put her cold and calm personality aside, one of the most notable examples was when she discovers the dark side of R-Corp and what the entire squadron sent to retrieve the books from the library went through, leaving her confused and disappointed that none of them went insane due to the endless loophole of suffering, this event itself after defeating them made Angela question whether her suffering matters much to the people of the city, considering that she now learned that there are those who have had to endure worse than her. It is also revealed that deep down she feels remorse for the many people who were sacrificed for her to achieve her ultimate goal, though she suppresses it. Angela's personality gradually changes for the better, and she began to show a much softer and kinder side of herself as she became close with her servant, who soon became a close friend, Roland. Eventually, Angela gives up her selfish goals and decides to rebel against the Chief and overthrow the corrupt system of the City, realizing that the Chief is the real enemy all alone.

Personality

Angela has a serious, logical and laconic personality, which she reflects in her behavior, and also expresses a clear aversion to rudeness and cruelty, at every opportunity saying that the Library is different, etc. She has interests only in her own goal: to live a life not tied to a place, and she will use all available methods to achieve these goals. She knows when to take a situation lightly or seriously, when there are tense topics or issues that remind her of the past. Angela is curious about the world outside the complex she has been trapped in for thousands of years, and uses Roland to learn more about the City. Angela is initially strict, cold, and sarcastic when confronted with her former colleagues and Servant at the beginning, but as the story progresses, her attitude towards them becomes more and more sweet and close, and sometimes she even thaws and thanks them. She develops a particularly warm friendship with Roland. Throughout the story, Angela endures and attempts to overcome the trauma of tens of thousands of years of physical and millions of years of emotional isolation underground in Complex X-394, which manifests itself in her desire to take revenge on her Maker and the rest of the City's inhabitants so that they feel the pain she endured.

Relationship

Near the end of the current campaign, X learns too much about Angela through B, and it erases her memory. Since X remembers nothing, the days pass as "normal" until Challenge Mode begins. A While this doesn't say much about their relationship, it can be assumed that Angela's creator, A, implemented everything that the AI ​​needed to become more "human-like", so all of Angela's "emotions" would be the same as what A had or wanted in an assistant. Beyond that, nothing is known. B Angela always warns X about B's supposed unreliability whenever they meet. Angela seems to hate Lobotomy "outsiders" who could cause serious damage to the company, such as filtering content or revealing incriminating data. B is no exception and seems to know a lot about Angela as well. B reveals to X via a wiretap that Angela is not who she appears to be. He installs a lie detector designed to show X that Angela is programmed to deceive.
