Powers —

Skills: Angela is a highly skilled hunter, and fighter. She is an expert with both hand-to-hand combat and any bladed weapon.

Superpowers:

1. Asgardian Physiology (canon power) — Like all Asgardians, Angela has strength, stamina, durability, and speed exceeding that of a normal human. Of these, her strength and speed are especially high, even among Asgardians, being the daughter of Odin. She can lift 50 tons, and can move faster than even the Disir, who are said to move faster than lightning. She heals at an accelerated rate, and ages so slowly as to appear immortal. She can also survive in the vacuum of space without oxygen, and survive intense third degree burns across her entire body. Additionally, as an Asgardian, Angela has what's known as the Allspeak, which allows her to communicate in and understand all the languages of the Ten Realms, as well as various alien languages.
   
   
2. Minotaur Curse (CRAU power) — During her stay in the Ryslig peninsula, Angela like all offworld captives was transformed into a "monster" by the Fog God. Angela's monster form was that of a minotaur. She gained horns, furry legs, hooves, and a tail, and increased strength and navigational sense. She became the perfect hunter, able to track prey for miles by scent and sound, and lure her victims into traps to get them alone. She also was able to lull her prey into a hypnotic daze by playing music. During the height of the Fog God's power, Angela could also transform into a full bovine form, able to travel longer distances and carry others on her back.

Limitations:

1. Asgardian Physiology — Though Angela is fast, she cannot travel extreme distances at top speed without becoming tired. Her speed is more used for short bursts. She also is not immortal, and though she is durable, enough damage can still injure and kill her. Even with her enhanced strength, she is not the strongest Asgardian, and even she admitted that her younger brother Thor outmatched her in raw strength. While the Allspeak allows Angela to communicate in most languages, canon has shown that there are still some alien languages that Angela cannot understand.
   
   
2. Minotaur Curse — CW CANNIBALISM MENTION The true curse of Ryslig is that all of the Fog God's monsters have an insatiable hunger for humans. I am removing this element of Angela's monster form, and limiting her curse to only transform her into a minotaur during the New and Full moons, and any time when it is particularly foggy. Her transformation into and out of minotaur form is painful, every time. Though she will not have the compulsion to feed on human flesh to survive, she will still have an overwhelming need to hunt and heightened senses during these times, and if she tries to resist these elements of her minotaur nature, she risks losing her control over her mind and going on a monstrous rampage. Also, as a minotaur, Angela has a weakness to high pitched noises.

Personality —

Angela's mantra, the life code that was passed onto her by the Angels who raised her, is "Nothing is for Nothing." That means that, while Angela does not give out favors, she always repays her debts. She does not leave loose ends hanging without tying them up. If someone helps her, she is sure to return the favor before long. At times, her "Nothing is for Nothing" mentality defines her, to the point where she will refuse to act if there's nothing in it for her. She has difficulty expanding her worldview to include other ways of behaving, and will resist any attempts to dissuade her from acting the way she wants to act. She has no problem causing trouble for other people, so long as her strict code is followed.

Angela does not let any obstacle stand in the way of her achieving her goal. No matter what that obstacle may be. Whether it's hordes of enemy armies, or the divide between Realms... if she has a debt to settle, she will accomplish the task she sets herself to. If something stands in between Angela and her goal, she would rather plow straight through it than find a way around.

Angela doesn't waste time debating plans. Instead, she rushes into the fray without thinking about the best course. This is shown when she and the Guardians of the Galaxy travel to the Badoon homeworld to rescue Star-Lord from gladiatorial combat. Rather than fight off the gladiators or try to convince the Badoon to let Star-Lord go, Angela beheads the leader of the Badoon and declares the battle over. While this saves Quill, it destabilizes one of the biggest martial forces in the galaxy, leaving a mess for other parties to have to come in and fix.

As evidenced by the above point, Angela believes that actions speak louder than words. As such, she finds it difficult to open up to people. Only those closest to her (Sera in canon, and a few people in Ryslig) know what is going on in her head. Even then, Sera infers from context more than Angela tells her outright. Angela lets her deeds do the talking. She's not one to "use her words." She also doesn't explain herself very well. When her infant sister, Laussa, was possessed by the spirit of Surtur, she embarked on a mission to rid Laussa of Surtur's influence without giving any of her comrades the full details. As far as they knew, Angela was just kidnapping and endangering the life of a baby, and expecting them to help her anyway.

You might not think it to look at her, but Angela can be kind hearted to those she is closest to. Particularly Sera, her ex-wife. Angela overthrew the Queen of Hel just to save Sera. That said, she has room in her heart for others, including the Guardians of the Galaxy, and her Asgardian kin, Thor, Loki, and Laussa. She has a particular soft spot for women, especially young girls, perhaps as she sees herself in them. Growing up, Angela's only family was Loriel, the Angel handmaiden who had saved baby Aldrif's life when the Queen of the Angels kidnapped her and planned to kill her. She was teased and tormented by her peers for having no wings, ostracized for being different. As she grew, she worked hard to secure her reputation as a fierce warrior, rising to the rank of Leader of Heven's Hunt. She put down insurrections of rebellious Angels, and slayed beasts that dared to threaten Heven's borders. It wasn't until she met Sera that she truly found a kindred spirit, worth protecting and loving— and being loved by in return. After all, "Nothing is for Nothing."

Both Angel and Asgardian societies are very strict; you have a given role and you stick to it. The women of Heven are warriors or hunters, and the men are priests, confined to a life of darkness and prayer. Angela, however, doesn't care about the set roles imposed on people. She only cares about who a person is on the inside, and the way they choose to behave. She values courage and bravery over all other qualities.

Gameplay —

Areas of Interest / Brainstorming: I'm interested in having Angela unpack all the trauma she went through in Ryslig, and ground herself in a world that is closer to the Earth she has some familiarity with. She hasn't gotten much of a chance to be a traditional Superhero™ in canon, so it will be interesting to see how she fits into a society that is rife with them while still adhering to her strict "Nothing is for Nothing" mentality.
