» INFLUENTIAL EVENTS:

Red Pumps: One of the defining events of Angel's life happens really early on. When she was young, she was with her parents shopping for Christmas. She'd seen these beautiful red pumps in the store and says that she'd never imagined something so beautiful before. So, she'd stolen one of the shoes and as they got home, it fell out of her jacket. Being that to her parents, Angel was not a girl her father hit her for stealing but even more so for what she chose to steal. After this event, things were different with her parents until she had to leave to pursue a life where she can be herself. After this, she doesn't like to celebrate Christmas it's full of painful memories of that first rejection of who she was by her parents.

Joining Evangelistas: The first House that Angel joined was Abundance. Elektra is not a caring Mother. She clearly uses her children to feed her own ego and shows a clear lack of respect for them. When she steals another one of Blanca's ideas and Blanca leaves to create her own house, Angel is the only member of the House that appears sympathetic to Blanca and how she had been attacked verbally by Elektra. She appears to want to go after her even but is held back by two other members of Abundance.

Not too long after Blanca had left, Angel finds herself humiliated at one of the Balls and, of course, Elektra has no sympathy for her as she runs out crying. Blanca goes after her and comforts her. This is the point where Angel makes the decision to join the Evangelistas. She wants desperately to be loved and to belong and love is something that Elektra doesn't seem capable of giving.

Stan: Stan is a middle-class married man who picks Angel up while she's working as a prostitute on the pier. At first Stan is just an odd client. He only wants to talk that first night, having taken Angel to a really nice hotel. She knows that he's been coming around the pier for weeks and just looking before this. Stan asks her want she wants. This is the first time anyone had ever asked her that before. Her answer is simple that she wants to be treated like any other woman in the world but that that kind of dream isn't real for her. She instead says she has to focus on wanting to be safe and secure, not wanting to end up dead in some ditch thrown away like trash.

After that, Stan continues to see her. Angel falls for him and starts to actually believe that she could have more. She started working as a private dancer but Stan is jealous and finally makes a move to do what he'd talked about and pays for an apartment for her so she no longer has to work at that place or the pier. She feels like being safe is something that she can have but maybe she can actually have love too.

However, she manages to push herself and Stan into a corner by asking him about his original motives. She feels like she's nothing but a pornographic fantasy for him and so she leaves the apartment and goes back to Blanca's home, saying that she'll wait for him to miss her. She wants him to pick her over his wife.

Patty: Angel is confronted by Patty, Stan's wife. They end up going to a diner and eating. This conversation actually shows some growth in Angel. She tells Patty that she had known that Stan was married from the start and that she didn't feel guilty -- she never feels guilty because she isn't in a position to judge anyone else for what they need or why they need it. Patty asks about the Ball and why Angel would be there as Angel tells her that she's a transexual Patty doesn't believe her and demands to see proof.

Angel stands up for herself, putting down her boundary about that but in addition... Angel apologizes for what she did to Patty. She knows that she had hurt her and she wanted to try and help Patty find the answers and understanding that she needed. Angel is very often self-centered and immature and something about Patty's plight drew out a maturity in her that isn't always present.

» FIT: Angel certainly doesn't have any experience living in space but she does have experience in adapting and surviving by any means necessary. She'd seek to find information to help her learn about her new environment and the best ways to survive. I'm definitely interested in the themes of her learning how to exist with the technology that is beyond her time frame and figuring out how to belong in an environment and people that are vastly different from her home.
