Background
Angela originates as the dominant, 91% subconscious portion of Xiao Huasheng, inhabiting and operating Lobotomy Corporation's mental world. When Xiao asks what to call her, she adopts the name Angela and identifies herself as “a will born to serve” her manager. Despite holding most of their shared brainpower and the system's practical knowledge, she states that Xiao retains complete control authority over the company. 17
As the corporation's system develops, Angela becomes its principal administrator: she explains its energy economy, guides the extraction and use of Abnormalities, maintains records, and assists Xiao in managing employees. Her role gradually expands beyond clerical work as she learns to apply reality warping, create bodies and equipment, and conduct enhancement research. 17 59 64
Angela later encounters an alternate Library of Ruina counterpart. Though they share memories, the two are distinct individuals; the counterpart ultimately adopts the name Carmen to distinguish herself. A portal mishap temporarily strands Angela in the Library, where she assumes the position of librarian while waiting for Xiao to return. 141 143 144
Appearance
Angela is a blue-haired, haloed young woman with an unnaturally composed, statue-like bearing. Her ordinary body is flesh and blood rather than mechanical, though she can alter or replace it through her own abilities. 17 103
- Indigo-blue hair, including a long braid with a silver glimmer at its tip. 17
- Golden eyes, often obscured by frost-like eyelids. 17
- A golden halo above her head, used to communicate with Xiao within Lobotomy Corporation. 210
- Usually wears a black undershirt beneath a white lab coat. 17
- Maintains a formal posture with clasped hands and carefully controlled expressions. 17
Personality
Angela presents herself as calm, dignified, and intensely professional, often speaking in the measured language of a corporate assistant. She is also mischievous in private: she teases Xiao, startles her with fabricated “human verification” tests, and habitually kneads her manager's cheeks. 17 119
Her loyalty to Xiao is personal rather than merely programmed. She shields Xiao from political pressure, resists attempts to isolate her from negotiations, and insists that Xiao consider Angela before making self-sacrificial decisions. 36 103 119
Angela is pragmatic to a ruthless degree when the corporation's survival is at stake. She considers employees, energy, bodies, and even dangerous incidents in terms of utility, while still recognizing Xiao's compassion and accommodating the manager's decisions when possible. 184 200 212
Abilities & Skills
Lobotomy Corporation Administration
Angela operates the corporation's mental-space systems and provides Xiao with the technical knowledge needed to manage them.
- Explains the system's energy consumption, employee maintenance, and Abnormality extraction. 17
- Reverse-translates encrypted information, reviews corporate logs, and facilitates secure meetings within Lobotomy Corporation. 119
- Can summon or help Xiao summon corporate entities, including One Sin and Hundreds of Good Deeds. 26
- Coordinates containment responses and maps Foundation facilities during breaches. 192
Reality Warping and Distortion
Angela can expend corporate energy to create, modify, or reinforce physical reality.
- Creates items and enhances employees using reality-warping energy. 59
- Rebuilds employees with reinforced organs, implants, and Astartes-inspired physical upgrades that remain functional under a Reality Stabilization Anchor. 64
- Can reshape her own body and grant herself substantial resistance to Psychic Power, though her usual body remains physically that of an ordinary girl. 103
- Uses Distortion to instantly outfit Xiao and to create biological bodies, though complex reality-warping applications consume substantial energy. 50 179
- Her modifications must obey physical logic if they are to persist after reality-warping effects are removed. 64
E.G.O. Manifestation
Angela can manifest E.G.O. power, including Silent Orchestra-derived abilities, for direct combat.
- Fought her Library counterpart to a standstill while holding her reality-warping ability in reserve. 141
- Used E.G.O.-enhanced physical power to overwhelm Carmen after their confrontation escalated. 209
- E.G.O. output is tied to intense emotion and can replenish the corporation's energy, creating an incentive to exploit emotionally charged battles. 209
Phoenix Project
Angela completed the Phoenix Project, allowing her consciousness to transfer instantly into prepared replacement bodies.
- Can revive herself indefinitely in prepared bodies, though each body remains physically frail without further enhancement. 183
- Constructs spare bodies with internal energy spheres that sustain their vital functions for roughly 0.5 energy units per day outside the corporation's expenses. 183
- Can precisely remove selected painful memories without affecting unrelated memories. 183
- Estimates that fully resurrecting an ordinary person, including reconstructing and anchoring their soul, requires roughly 400 units of energy; stronger souls and bodies cost exponentially more. 184
Remote Corpse Control
Angela repurposes unusable Phoenix Project bodies as disposable remote assets.
- Animates a headless replacement body with reality-warping energy and controls it through a tablet-like prototype. 192
- Uses the puppet for remote combat and containment work, though its body burns out under excessive energy load. 199
Relationships
- Xiao Huasheng — Her manager, shared counterpart, and most important companion. Angela calls their bond one of “sisters,” protects Xiao from manipulation, and relies on her return when stranded in the Library. 17 103 144
- Carmen — Alternate Library counterpart with shared memories but separate identity. Their relationship shifts from rivalry and violent conflict to Carmen's employment under Lobotomy Corporation. 143 208 210
- Queen of Hatred — An Abnormality and employee whom Angela releases for Xiao's companionship and monitors during dangerous instability. 76 85
- The Emperor — A wary negotiating partner. Angela rejects his initial offer as insufficient, presses for better terms, and prevents him from exploiting Xiao's sympathy. 103 108
- Lobotomy Corporation employees — Angela trains, enhances, assigns, and controls the corporation's workforce; her methods range from protective logistics to treating personnel as expendable corporate assets. 64 121 200
