~ Angela on the first day. |
Angela is the the secretary to the player and main antagonist in Lobotomy Corporation and female lead in Library of Ruina. An AI derived from Carmen made to survey the company, maintain the manager's/player's mental state, provide useful information, manage the Sephirah's of each corporate department (Department leaders), and guide the player. Later on, it's revealed she also has to keep and maintain the memories of A (Who turns out to be the player), and transfer them back when the time is right.
Personality[]
At the start of the game, Angela is rather pleasant to the player, helpfully giving idea to what to do to the player and keeping good spirits even in tragedy. However, Angela herself is actually more cold and calculating, which becomes more and more apparent, feeling no attachment to her workers or fellow Sephirah and desiring to just collect energy. An excellent example of both traits is where she unleashed an Abnormality to destroy the Wellfare Team to gain more energy, as there had been a lack of breaching beforehand. She perfectly represents the utilitarian (Surface level) side of Lobotomy Corporation, however her actual loyalty is revealed to be false at the end. Her ultimate goal is to both destroy the company and kill the player if necessary in order to try a "Human" life, as well as obtain revenge against her creators for being denied from birth (Which is revealed to be A, who also just so happens to be you but your memories were removed, by your command, in order to attempt to get a better result in the cycles of the game. Hence why it's called "Lobotomy Corporation").
Library of Ruina[]
During the events of Library of Ruina, Angela presents herself as a cold, stoic, stern, and no-nonsense individual who is ambitious and hellbent on achieving her goal of attaining a human body and revenge against The City for all her sufferings. Though, there were moments where she drops the cold and calm persona of hers, one of the most notable examples was when she discovers the dark side of R-Corp and what the entire squadron dispatched to retrieve the books from the Library has went through, causing her to be confused and frustrated at how none of them has lost their minds because of an endless loophole of suffering, this very event in the aftermath of defeating them left Angela questions whether if her sufferings is even a big deal towards the inhabitants of The City, considering now she has learned that there are those out there whom had been through worse than her.
It is also revealed that deep down she is shown to have remorse over the many peoples that were sacrificed in order for her to reach her end goal, though, she represses it. Angela's personality slowly changes for the better and she began to show a much soft and kind side of hers when she bonds with her servant soon turned close friend, Roland.
Eventually, Angela abandons her selfish goals and decides to rebelled against the Head and overthrow the corrupt system of the City, realizing that The Head is the true enemy all alone.
Biography[]
Angela was originally based off of a human named Carmen, the love interest and mentor of A 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 the body of Angela (Carmen's actual neural system and brain was used to create a substance called cogito), and modified by A so she didn't contain both Carmen's greatest strength and weakness, emotion. Unfortunately, this results in A initially desiring to destroy Angela with her first real words being "I remember you, A, you were kind hearted", but he suppresses the urge despite her inability to give affection to him like Carmen did. Angela eventually succeeds in foiling the player's /Carmen's hard work towards creating hope for the future in all of humanity, resulting in unstable souls. Afterwards, she builds a library, and cuts her hair symbolizing her rebirth.

Trivia[]
- Due to the game's religious theme with the Sephirahs, Angela likely fits into this by her name likely coming from the Greek ángelos, which can mean "messenger of God", reflecting A formerly having megalomaniacal habits/being a god of sorts, and her status as secretary.
- Angela becomes notably colder to you once she returns A's memories to you, foreshadowing her betrayal and hatred of A (Which stems from A initially denying her since she was nothing like Carmen).
- B had proposed the possibility that Angela is an abnormality herself.
- Carmen was actually an incredibly good person, which resulted in her downfall. She even told A "If anyone is harmed or put in trouble because of what I do, I will definitely hate myself. I know it.", while she was telling him to carry on her work if she died.
- Angela was created out of grief from Carmen's death. At the end, Angela credits her selfish desires to Carmen's natural want to live after the world was saved. She also acknowledges her evil in comparison to Carmen earlier, calling her a hand of light that was cut off by the world.
- When Angela was first created, she was quite unstable. She'd laugh, then cry, then laugh again etc. She also would not talk for longer than A and B expected.
- Interestingly, the eyes of Carmen and Angela are very different, despite Angela's appearance being based off of Carmen. Carmen's eyes were large, and a shade of red, although they weren't visible for most of the game. Angela's eyes are yellow (Much like A's), and are small and usually closed.
- Angela's physical body was mostly made out of two of the Department head's bodies after they died and became Sephirah. Namely, two people named Kali (Gebura) and Daniel (Chesed).
