Personality
Angelica originally was supposed to be very hot-headed which would be her eventual downfall but because of Marie, we get to see more of who she is, feeling like a failure when Julius became infatuated with Marie causing her to break the vase in her room and cry from her rejection from the prince. After the duel with the Prince, she has shown to be far more kind and humble going as far as working in the fields but still has a fiery temper when a girl wants to get close to Leon.

Story Overview
Original Game Story: Otome Game In the original Otome game, Angelica was the first antagonist. She grew jealous of Olivia's closeness to the prince and challenged her to a duel, with the prince and his group stepping up to represent Olivia and no one representing Angelica. She lost the duel and was humiliated. Afterwards, she was forced to marry an older man and move to the countryside.

Volume 1
After several weeks passed since the entrance ceremony, Julius and Jilk were walking in the academy's courtyard with their followers and the female students accompanying them, the female students asking Julius when he was going to hold the tea ceremony and they all would like to participate in it. Angelica then came with her followers and approached Julius about the tea ceremony, asking if it was alright if they could attend it together. Julius rebuked Angelica for forcing her way into the conversation as this was the academy to which Angelica replied that the conversation around him was rather loud. Julius then noticing Marie, asked her to come over as he had something to talk with her. Seeing this, Angelica's eyebrows twitched and one of her followers whispered something about Marie to Angelica. Julius then said as the other boys were also going to arrange tea ceremonies so he doesn't want to hold a flashy one and was planning to only invite acquaintances so he wants Marie to attend his tea ceremony. Angelica objects to it as Julius was the crown prince, so a suitable tea ceremony should be held even it is not a flashy one but Julius doesn't hear to Angelica's objections at all. Julius then tells Angelica to stop as even if she was his fiance, they were at the academy and he was just a student, so she shouldn't interfere with his affairs that much. Angelica hearing this, excuses herself for the discourtesy she has shown, and glares at Marie before leaving with her followers following her.

Olivia, with the help of Leon, sends a gift to Angelica and asks a meeting with her. Angelica accepts her request and calls for her after a few days, praising her greeting, as it was a suitable behavior when meeting a superior. Olivia then timidly asks Angelica if she would let her stay in the academy. Angelica then told that after she had just nodded, drank her tea and went to her dorm they would have been done, but Olivia asking questions made the conversation more complicated. She then says that she has no interest in driving out Olivia from the academy at all. Angelica then asks Olivia who was the one who taught about her about this greetings, wondering who was the one that helped her as most people kept their distance from the honor student. When Olivia tells that it was Leon who helped her. When she heard it was Leon, she wasn't surprised much, telling that Leon was quite an oddball. Olivia was a bit surprised that Angelica knew about Leon. Angelica then explained that Leon was a knight with high hopes placed on him in the future as he had already earned the baron rank due to his achievements as an adventurer.

Several weeks later Angelica recommending Leon, is sent into the dungeon as a guard for the Prince and his entourage, along with Angelica, Olivia and Marie as part of a class lesson. When groups were being made to explore the dungeon, Angelica is against Marie being in the same group as Julius and an argument happens between them. While Leon and Olivia went as the vanguards, the prince's group and Angelica's are in the middle, with the former in front of the latter. The prince's group then encountered six giant ant monsters. As they had come from a side road so the groups in the front had missed them. Angelica then shouted out to the two groups who were in the front and back of the prince's group to protect them. But Greg shouted them to move back while killing, and the other four were handled by Chris, Brad and Jilk. The last one headed towards Julius while Angelica was shouting to protect him. Jilk then reprimanded Angelica telling her that Julius wasn't someone weak. Julius was able to defeat the ant and Marie went to him asking him if he was okay. Angelica then approached Julius, pushing Marie away and offered a towel to Julius. But Julius didn't took it and took Marie's hand moving forward in the dungeon.

After a few days, Angelica is called out by Julius who tells her that he has questioned the girls who were bullying Marie and they all said that they were ordered by her. Angelica denies this as those girls weren't her followers but Julius refuses to believe her telling her to stay away from both Marie and them as well telling her that their engagement when they are outside. As they are in school Julius tells her not to meddle in their affairs anymore. Back in her room in the academy, Angelica's followers are voicing their complaints against how Marie is getting too close to the prince's entourage and how Julius was buying an exclusive servant for Marie. Angelica tells them to stop and asks then to leave her alone for now. After the girls leave, Angelica takes a nearby object and throws it away, being frustrated how Julius believed in Marie more than her. Crying a bit, she sat down where she was standing.

At the End-of-Term Party, Angelica gets into a quarrel with Julius about Marie. In a fit of rage she challenges Marie to duel and the prince and his group decide to act as Marie's representatives. But no one came forward as Angelica's representative. She was just steeling her will to fight against them when Leon came forward, declaring that he will act as Angelica's representative and then goes on to mock the group. Leon then asks Angelica's intention in initiating the duel. She tells him that she just wants Marie to stay away from Julius. Marie states that she wants the fighting to stop and after the conditions are set. Jilk states that the duel will be five one-on-one matches. Leon agrees before taunting the prince directly.

The Next day, Angelica has the teachers prepare a room for her to speak to Leon alone. She asks him to withdraw from the duel, only for him to explain that his image won't improve even if he did. She explains that her room was also vandalized and that her family wasn't helping her, so he has nothing to gain. Leon then tells her that he wasn't trying to get on her family's good side and admits that he just wanted to beat them up. She asks him about how it will affect his family, but Leon explains that, as he is technically an independent knight, his family isn't involved at all. Leon goes on to tell her that he is confident that he can win.

The Day of the duel comes finally. As Leon walks into the arena, Angelica rushes forward and asking him where his armor Leon replying that it will be arriving soon. Right after that Arroganz lands in the center of the arena. Arroganz's appearance is met with laughter due to its size, while Angelica asking him if he was going to fight with this armor believing that the armor wasn't fit for this duel. Leon then said that she will understand when the duel starts and gets on Arroganz. Leon's first opponent was Brad and when Leon took out a shovel instead of a weapon, Brad became furious at him. So before the teacher could formally start the duel, Brad rushed forward with his spear imbued in magic but Leon moved Arroganz lightly to side and immediately seized his arm and pinning him telling him to calm down as they have to take the oath of the duel before the fight. Olivia seeing this was excited telling Angelica that Leon could win this duel. However Angelica was surprised by the light movements made by Arroganz as she couldn't believe that such a heavy armor could move in such way. The students who were seeing, become restless after seeing Arroganz moved, each telling how much they had betted against Leon. Angelica hearing this began to laugh telling that Leon was quite a cruel person with Olivia telling that he wasn't cruel at all and is a kind person. When the fight begins Brad was easily blown away by a single swing of the shovel of Arroganz and after that Leon stomped on Brad's armor to prevent him from moving. Brad was forced to admit defeat or else he would have been crushed by Arroganz. When Leon fought against Greg, he is easily defeated with Leon being furious at Greg being too prideful to use proper equipment and mocks at his weakness. Olivia got angry at Leon's behavior during the fight and wanted Leon to apologize to Greg later. Angelica hearing this told that Leon apologizing would hurt Greg's pride more. When Leon defeated his next opponent Chris, Olivia was glad but she was too sad how cruel the fight was. Angelica admonishes Olivia hearing this telling that Leon had to stay vigilant or he might lose.

After the fight against Chris, there was a break before the next fight. During the break Leon runs into Angelica and Olivia, and the two told him that Jenna had asked them to check on him. Leon then fights against Jilk with Jilk becoming unconscious after he was defeated by Leon. Before Leon's match against Julius, he asks Julius what he thinks about Olivia but he gets an underwhelming answer from the prince. When the two of them began to fight, even when Julius was backed down into a corner, he refuses to give up saying that Marie was the only girl he loved and Angelica's love towards him wasn't love at all. Olivia then suddenly shouts that Julius loves Marie, but Angelica loves Julius as well. Olivia then shouts that if Angelica didn't love Julius she wouldn't watch this fight with such a pained expression. Angelica tried to stop Olivia but she didn't stop further telling why Julius was denying Angelica's feelings and shouting that if two people don't have mutual feelings that doesn't mean that it is not love. Julius rebukes that forcing someone's feelings on another person isn't love. Julius then declares that match to be a deathmatch by his authority as a crown prince. Leon mocks Julius about using his title as a shield despite complaining about it earlier. Leon tells that he couldn't kill the crown prince so Julius was probably hoping that Leon would forfeit. The prince then charges at him but Leon uses impact to destroy his armor and knock him unconscious. Leon is then declared the winner of the match then. After exiting from Arroganz, Leon has a small conversation with Olivia and Angelica before Angelica heads to check on Julius.

In the medical room, Angelica tells Julius that she was happy that he wasn't hurt. Julius then asks her to stop her acting as it was all due to her representative. Angelica asks what she has done wrong as she has been trying so hard for his sake. Julius tells her that she just wanted the crown prince's fiance's position which she denies earnestly. Then Julius replies that he isn't wrong and asks her to tell him what was his favorite dish. Angelica replies to it but Julius says that she is wrong as he likes to eat skewer foods which he ate when he went out incognito once. But as it was commoner's food he couldn't say it to her because she would also try to prevent him from eating it. Angelica hearing this tries to say that she would have never stopped him. But Julius still speaking that Marie was easily able to understand him and had invited him to a cart to eat. Julius then says that the only one he can love is Marie. When Angelica says that she is fine as long she gets to by his side with Julius replying that he cannot love her. Angelica hearing this tells Julius that she would be rooting for his happiness and leaves the room. Her engagement with Julius is then dissolved.

Angelica, with Leon and Olivia, goes to Leon's home during the summer vacation in Leon's ship Partner. Angelica and Olivia were in a guest room on the Partner, Angelica telling Olivia her feelings couldn't reach Julius at all and how she utterly lost to Marie. Olivia was telling Angelica had done nothing wrong and Angelica had got both of them involved in her mess due to her selfishness. Olivia then told that Leon had resolved himself to drop out from the academy and when Angelica she reprimanded herself that she had gone to Julius after the duel even without properly thanking Leon for what he has done.

Angelica and Olivia went with Leon to inspect the floating island which Leon had discovered. Olivia was amazed by how beautiful the land despite no people present. Angelica then said wasn't it in the opposite way to which Olivia replied that land can't be maintained without being managed by people at all and was amazed that robots were able to do this. Angelica then said that something smells strange here to which Leon then leaded them to the outdoor bath on the floating island. Olivia and Angelica took a bath making small conversation with each other. Angelica then suddenly said she envied Olivia as she thought that Leon and Olivia were lovers as they were always together and they would probably get married in the future. Olivia replies that it was not like that as they have a huge difference in their social positions. Olivia then said that Leon probably likes Angelica, or else he wouldn't have gone so far. Angelica then immediately replied that it was not possible as she was a terrible person who had been abandoned by the crown prince Julius.

When Angelica goes to Leon's home, she is being confronted by Zora Bartford, asking her who was she and behaved quite rudely towards her. But when Angelica's identity as the duke's daughter was revealed, Zora's behavior took a roundabout turn and started to treat her in a courteous manner. When Angelica asked Zora why the eldest son, Rutart wasn't helping out with the household duties and why is she constantly away from the residence. Zora tried to dodge the question by asking Angelica for why she was here to which Angelica replied that she had come for sightseeing and would staying at Leon's home until her household contacts her. She then told Zora not to worry as she would be paying lodging expenses to the barony for letting her stay here. After hearing this Zora was quite flustered and returned to the Royal Capital the next day with her children. Leon applauded Angelica who was able to make Zora scurry back home with so much ease.

During the whole vacation, Angelica and Olivia went to the hot spring for their bath on Leon's floating island. One day after the two of them had taken their bath, Olivia said to both Leon and Angelica to call her as Livia as she was called Livia by everyone at her home. Hearing this Angelica also told them to call her as Angie as people only close to her called that. When Angelica began to criticize her, Olivia said she wasn't like that, but still Angelica continued telling that sometimes she thought of taking revenge. Hearing this Olivia was worried but Leon said that it was fine. Leon then asked if Angelica wanted revenge on them then he had the perfect method for it. Olivia tried to stop Leon and Angelica hesitantly asking if taking revenge was fine. Leon said that it was okay and the best method to get revenge is to make herself happy. Angelica was a bit surprised when she heard this with Leon explaining that the five of them would be punished due to their deeds and when she flaunts happiness at the time when they are at their, then that would revenge against them. Olivia hearing if that was revenge then she was going to support Angelica on getting her revenge. They also helped with the field work, with Olivia teaching Angelica how to do it.

Angelica and Olivia were on the deck of the airship of the Redgrave's, where Angelica described how the nobles were ranked and how could they be promoted to the next rank. After hearing Angelica's explanation Olivia understood that Leon gained a lot of recognition for him to be promoted to sixth rank. Olivia then told that she really thought Leon was going to demote from the baron rank and then told Angelica that Leon had spent all the money he got from the betting. Angelica hearing this thinks if that was the thing which did it but not able to arrive at a suitable conclusion changed the topic. Angelica told that Leon was going to promoted soon so she asked Olivia if she could come to which she replied that she has never attended such events and she doesn't have an outfit for such occasions. Angelica replied that it wasn't a problem at all as Olivia could leave the outfit to her. Angelica was present during Leon's promotion to baron sixth noble rank. After the new term started Angelica's followers tried various ways to regain her trust with Angelica being fed up with their efforts. While Leon was sitting on a bench in the school courtyard and was lost in deep thought thinking about something, Angelica and Olivia came and sat on each side of Leon. Then they took Leon with them to a stall which was famous for their crepes.

Lovers
Angie gets along with Leon reasonably well given that he was her knight in shining armor who represented her in her duel with the prince knowing full well the consequences that were to come. After the duel, Angie was very grateful for what Leon had done for her seeing him as a reliable friend as evident when she usually will be with Olivia and Leon during events. As the story progresses Angie falls in love with Leon and gets engaged with him along with Olivia as a fellow bride.
 * Leon Fou Bartford

As a noblewoman engaged to a prince, she grew up expecting to be one of her husband's multiple wives, so she has no issue with Leon having multiple lovers. However, Angelica is against Leon being with a manipulative woman like Marie.

Originally Angie was never meant to get along with Olivia as both were each other's foil, but thanks to Marie's intervention in the story and Leon introducing Olivia when Angie was in need of a friend both of them got along exceedingly well enough for them to be considered best friends. Following the events, after the duel with the Princes group both, Olivia and Angie, spend a lot of time together so much that from an outsider's perspective they may think that they were a couple. Their love for one another is great enough that the royal airship (Luxion and Leon believe its a joke item as its requirements were for the pilots of the ship be truly in love) to deem them more than worthy enough to captain it. Their feeling for each other was great enough that she was more than happy to have Olivia as a fellow bride to Leon.
 * Olivia (Best Friend)

Others
Their relationship was very one-sided as Angie loved him as much as she could but Julius saw their relationship as nothing more than a political marriage. Their relationship was strained even more with Marie stealing Julius away, causing her to challenge Marie to a duel to which Julius and his friends took to representing Marie leaving Angie alone with no one coming up to represent her until Leon stepped in. After the duel, Angie poured her heart out to him telling him she worked hard for when he became king so she would not hold him back as queen, but Julius saw it as her only seeing him as The Prince not as Julius, causing Julius rejecting her love saying that his heart belongs to Marie. As Angie was leaving him in tears she only said that she was sorry and that she is wished for his happiness in the shadows leaving Julius to say to himself, "I wish I could have heard those words sooner". After the dissolution of their official engagement, Angie was left heartbroken needing time to recover in the countryside with Olivia and Leon.
 * Julius Rafa Holfort

 * Marie Fou Lovan

Management
Angelica demonstrates a fair amount of skill in study management, philosophy, and politics. She puts these skills to use to be more useful to Leon.

Fire Magic
