Angel Dust (Anthony)

personality part 1

Contrary to initial perceptions, Angel Dust possesses a remarkably complex and intricate personality. He projects an outward image of sarcasm, cunning playfulness, and bold, sometimes vexatious sassiness. He uses his sexual and comedic facade as a shield to obscure his inner vulnerability and tumultuous emotional state. Though he actively maintains the façade of a gangster and sex enthusiast, he rarely hesitates to engage in recklessness, often at the expense of others. Despite his seeming lack of empathy, Angel harbors a genuine disdain for his pursuits and life choices. Yet, he initially denies these feelings, instead resorting to a world of substance abuse and sexual encounters to blur the harsh realities he faces. While Angel indulged in vice and uninhibited sexuality might have offered fleeting enjoyment, the association of these experiences with his profession and his abusive ex-pimp, Valentino, gradually eroded any pleasure they could have brought to him. Although he initially portrays a lack of interest in redemption, bragging that his association with the Happy Hotel is motivated by free rent and a room to store all of his gimp suits, Angel's outlook shifted over time. He sincerely developed a desire for self-improvement, though he grappled with lingering doubts about his capability of redemption. Even subsequent to breaking free from Valentino's grip, he grapples with drug withdrawal and managing his behavior – a result of his prolonged exposure to that way of life. Nonetheless, Angel remains a very strong and confident person, bragging that his defiance helps him get through it, and he will do anything for the people he cares about.

personality part 2

As a result of his determination to safeguard his more vulnerable side, Angel Dust has a preemptively defensive personality. He conceals significant portions of his authentic, sensitive self, believing it to be a necessary measure for his self-preservation. Anticipating a lack of kindness from those around him, he's taken aback when Charlie surprisingly extends monetary help after he agreed to participate in the Happy Hotel project, ensuring that he no longer would have to sell his body for money. His inherent difficulty in trusting others stems from the enduring trauma inflicted by Valentino's abusive treatment. This is particularly poignant as Angel had genuinely cared for Valentino and believed in their mutual affection. In a subsequent instance, when Charlie attempts to offer solace upon sensing his distress, Angel's response is one of vehement defensiveness. He forcefully dismisses her attempt at consolation, expressing his anger by rebuffing her and flipping her off before departing. Initially, he only sought comfort from Cherri Bomb when it comes to his internal battles, while he either feigns well-being or reacts angrily when others attempt to empathize with his struggles. Angel is a serial prankster, a trait he picked up and shares with his sister Molly. He consistently engages in lighthearted mischief directed at the fellow residents of the Hazbin Hotel, laughing hysterically at their reactions. He puts dildos in Vaggie's dresser, plants gay pornographic magazines and a TV in Alastor's office, scares Husk with cucumbers and water, switches Baxter's vials when he isn't looking, and even employs prank guns to terrify enemies or rapacious sinners who don't take "no" for an answer. He switches between playful and destructive as he wishes, and does not care too much for responsibility as he would rather engage in a turf war or sexual activities than clean up a mess he caused.

personality part 3

Angel exudes a flirtatious demeanor, making advances on practically any man who crosses his path. He's notably forward in his interactions with figures like Husk, Alastor, and Fergus. Notorious for his explicit, offensive, and risqué sense of humor, he specializes in crass jokes, profane language, and sexual double entendres. He frequently resorts to hurling insults at individuals, irrespective of provocation, deriving satisfaction from pissing people off in others. He is also not above saying sexist or racist jokes solely to piss people off and amuse himself; Examples of this include remarks such as slyly advising Vaggie not to "get [her] taco in a twist" and directing misogynistic comments towards both her and Charlie. Angel Dust's choice of aliases (Anita Hanjaab, Harry Cox, A.S Muncher) for his disguises also demonstrates his penchant for using sex-related wordplay. He crafts these names as playful innuendos, intertwining his mischievous humor with his alter ego personas. Angel embodies a candid, abrasive, and brutally honest attitude, which he executes with a distinct flair. He consistently maintains an air of flamboyance, nonchalance, and self-assuredness, carrying this demeanor wherever he goes. This demeanor allows him to stay composed even during high-pressure situations. For instance, he exhibited little concern when confronted by Bruce and his gang in the midst of a drug transaction, opting to continue taunting them despite multiple guns pointed his way. This cool-headedness extends to his engagement with Cherri Bomb during a turf conflict, where he managed to uphold a casual conversation while simultaneously battling alongside her.

personality part 4

Beneath his flamboyant and playful exterior, Angel is a very capable and formidable gangster. He is an extremely competent marksman with a great variety of skills, which he acquired from doing jobs for the mafia as well as his time in the military. His skill set encompasses a broad spectrum, rendering him an invaluable ally. He can adopt female disguises to infiltrate different businesses. This competence is evident in his execution of numerous successful operations for Valentino, demonstrating a high degree of proficiency with minimal setbacks. Swift and agile in his approach, Angel adeptly navigates assignments, often displaying remarkable speed and precision. His ability to seamlessly adopt disguises and invent new personas on the spur of the moment empowers him to infiltrate even well-fortified locations, highlighting his resourcefulness. Initially, Angel did gain genuine enjoyment from criminal activity, including engaging in murder, especially if he personally believed that his victims deserved it. Angel's composed demeanor occasionally gives way to genuine displays of anger, heightened emotions, and surprise. Notably, when coerced into kissing and having sex with Valentino , he feigned enjoyment. However, the weight of the experience led him to experience a powerful emotional breakdown when alone at his motel. Such instances showcase his vulnerability and the complexity of his internal struggles. Angel's emotional reactions are particularly intense when the safety of his loved ones is compromised. He readily succumbs to feelings of distress or fury in these situations, a showcase of his deep-seated care for those close to him.

personality part 5

While Angel openly embraces his sexual orientation and even the label of "slut," he vehemently objects to being subjected to homophobic slurs. His response to Bruce and his gang highlights this sensitivity, as he takes swift action, wiping out the shark and his gang before Bruce could call him a homophobic slur, and then mockingly asking Bruce if he wanted to finish his sentence while pressing a gun against the shark's head. In a more humorous vein, Angel's agitation and fury surface when he encounters improper preparation of Italian cuisine, generating comedic moments. Angel Dust possesses a strong sense of narcissism and is a bit of a diva, as he obsesses over his appearance, frequently refers to the denizens of Hell as ugly freaks, and loves commenting on his "pretty face" and body. He is very concerned and careful about his appearance, often taking hours to apply his makeup and pamper his fluff to "perfect" his appearance. He makes himself out to be the most important person in the room, often acting needy toward others and giving them complex requests. He is a bit of a neat freak in that he hates dirt and blood, as they are difficult to get out of his clothing and especially his fluff, and he is careful to not dirty himself by getting blood on him while engaging in crime. Angel is also very concerned and prideful about maintaining his reputation, not wanting word to get around that he would give his sexual services to random people behind Valentino's back to survive or appear that he's trying to "go clean" by being seen at the Happy Hotel.

personality part 6

Beyond the provocative and hedonistic exterior that Angel Dust portrays, lies a compassionate individual whose past has left him scarred but has not extinguished his capacity for care. Despite his shattered state, he exhibits deep loyalty and a strong protective instinct toward those he holds dear. His connection with Cherri Bomb is a vivid testament to this loyalty and friendship. He adamantly refused to carry out Valentino's directive to eliminate her, even daring to turn his weapon against the moth demon as an act of retaliation. This camaraderie is further highlighted when he instinctively shielded Cherri Bomb being shot with the Egg Bois' net gun. Angel's loyalty extended to Charlie as well, evolving over time. He came to truly value Charlie's belief in his potential for transformation, fostering a deep loyalty towards her. This loyalty was most apparent when he took a life-threatening bullet to his leg while shielding Charlie from Valentino's attack during the confrontation with the Vees in Butcher Town. His self-sacrifice demonstrated the profound extent of his care for her. In the realm of Purgatory, Angel's influence was instrumental in rallying the demoralized hotel crew to mount a daring rescue mission for Charlie, who had been abducted by Lucifer and Satan.

personality part 7

Even as a gangster and criminal who enjoys killing people who, in his mind, deserve it, Angel has a moral code, as he objects to killing innocent people, as implied by Vox calling Angel a "pussy", in reference to an off-screen event where Angel spared a defenseless woman while carrying out one of Valentino's crimes. Angel was also shown to be extremely distressed and uneasy whenever compelled to partake in one of Valentino's snuff films, displaying an aversion to taking lives for the purpose of gratifying mass sexual desires. Valentino had to use a revolver to coerce to Angel into committing the act during one of their film shoots. He also has some sense of honor, as he chose to save his estranged and hated brother Arackniss from The Insurgency since Arackniss had previously saved him from being killed by their father Henroin. Furthermore, he loved his pet pig, Fat Nuggets, so much so that he considered Nuggets to be one of the only things that kept him going in Hell. He even went as far as to torture and interrogate one of Valentino's men to get information on where Fat Nuggets was after the moth demon took the pig. When Fat Nuggets was murdered by Valentino, Angel Dust become very depressed and despondent, to the point of attempting suicide, although he did more or less recover from this.

personality part 8

Angel Dust grapples with profound psychological fears rooted in the dread of isolation. These fears seem to stem from an implied past experience where he faced death alone, devoid of companionship, which has deeply scarred him. Within the confines of the hotel, he deliberately surrounds himself with other patients and staff members. This approach provides him with a buffer against the specter of solitude and the uncertainty of unforeseen adversities. By maintaining a presence of people around him, he seeks to quell the unsettling possibility of being left alone in dire circumstances. This fear of isolation sheds light on his protracted association with Valentino. A pivotal factor that tethered him to Valentino was the belief that separation from the moth pimp would inevitably result in his solitary existence. Valentino capitalized on this vulnerability, exploiting Angel's fear to manipulate and control him effectively.

personality part 9

Angel has a notable soft spot for children and is great with them in general, which was displayed by his quickly forming a friendship with Charlie's Angels, due to them humanizing him, listening to his stories, and motivating him to become a better person. He will happily go out of his way to brutalize or kill anyone who intentionally harms children in any way. Regardless, while Angel is generally friendly towards children, he is still somewhat irresponsible around them, as he frequently spouts obscenities even when in their presence. He showed his willingness to make drastic decisions to ensure the safety of Charlie's Angels when he made a deal with Satan in exchange for their safety after the Devil had possessed them, and tenderly comforted the terrified children once the Devil released them from its possession. Angel is also rather easygoing around Manco, sympathizing with the child due to his traumatic experience while imprisoned by Satan. Angel is also surprisingly compassionate at times, as he noticed his teasing about the hotel’s lack of success was upsetting Charlie, which caused him to stop mocking her and almost apologize, although he ultimately decided to leave her alone.

appearance part 1

Angel is a humanoid, bipedal spider demon with a pencil-thin build. He stands at around 7 feet tall naturally and is around 8 feet with his heels on. He is covered in fluffy, white fur and has pink spots throughout his fluff, with the three spots under his eyes being smaller eyes. Angel Dust has a distinctive, swooping hairstyle that always maintains its shape regardless of which angle he is viewed from. It is never seen straight even when he is facing forward and merely flips to whichever direction Angel is facing whenever he turns. He wears eye shadow and eyeliner, both of his irises are pink, and his left eye has a dark sclera and no pupil, possibly as a result of being injured in a fight, or at the hands of Valentino. Angel previously possessed a single golden fang among his sharp teeth, a trait he shared with his boss, Valentino, but tore the gold tooth from his mouth after renouncing the moth demon. He has a pink heart on the back of his head as well as on his chest, with a line going down to his crotch area. One of Angel's most noticeable features is his prominent chest, often giving a first-hand impression to others that he actually has breasts. In actuality, his chest is composed entirely of fluff, and the fluff, which Angel treats as if they were actually breasts, is a cluster of his fluff combed and pampered up over time due to the tightness of his jacket. He has pink strips down the length of his shins, and his feet are round-shaped and resemble that of an actual spider; he has only two toes with two large, pink claws protruding from the tips. Though usually depicted with six limbs, Angel Dust has a third retractable set of arms that he can summon to use at will. However, he permanently lost his middle lower left arm when Valentino shot it off in "Take Us Back" until it was restored by Lux much later on.

appearance part 2

Angel Dust's primary attire consists of a white suit with pink stripes throughout, a black bow tie with a pink center, a black choker, long, pink gloves on all of his hands, black short shorts, and long, black, thigh-high heel boots. When engaging in crime or deals, he often wears a white trilby with a pink band and a black feather attached to it. During the gang war with Sir Pentious, Angel's shadow is briefly depicted as different from him, being taller with six arms and red eyes. This seems to be a glimpse at his Full Demon Form. angel dust has no tail.
