History: In-game summary provided by the wonderful Jaclyn! The end of Chapter 28: Reunion.
Personality:
At first glance, people usually assume that Ange is a stereotypical woman of the Church, and she may seem as such until they get to know her better. In actuality, she’s got quite a few traits that a person would never expect of a Holy Maiden. Even Spada’s amazed at how Ange doesn’t turn out to be one of those boring Church women.
Ange is definitely the mother of the group, always talking to her companions in a motherly way, helping them, and even scolding them when they do something wrong. She watches over them and tries to help them with their problems as if she’s their mother, and it certainly helps that she has a motherly tone to her voice — she often speaks gently, however she will raise her voice to display disapproval. She isn’t afraid to tell her companions when she believes they’re doing something wrong, and she isn’t afraid to teach them what’s right.
It isn’t just her companions she cares about, however, but she cares about everyone. This is one thing she has that would be expected of a woman of the Church — her caring personality. She doesn’t find much need in personal possessions, but instead cares more about people’s happiness and safety, and practically lives to care for people. It hurts her to see sadness or pain in others (especially if she happens to be the one who caused it), and she does what she can to make sure people are okay.
She always keeps her eyes on her priorities, and works to make sure things that need to be done are being done. For example, when the party needs to get into Kelm in order to check out the memory circle, they run into trouble as the guard won’t let them enter because Hasta is in there. Ange decides that they’ll tell the guard they’re going to go in in order to get rid of Hasta, but instead, once they’re in, go to the memory circle to accomplish what they need to do. Ange states that while taking care of Hasta would be good, they have other priorities that need to be attended to, and that he can be a sort of afterthought. Even though taking down Hasta would make the town a whole lot safer, she does keep her priorities in mind, and decides that seeing the memory circle first is more important. As such, she always keeps her eyes on her current goal.
Ange is usually a woman of composure, and it’s not very often that she’ll lose that, but it does happen at times. But, usually, she’ll be calm and collected, and she’ll keep her mind clear and her eyes on what needs to be done.
However, the heat can easily take away that composure. While in the heat, she actually acts quite a bit like a child, even telling Ricardo, her bodyguard, that she’s the boss and that she orders him to protect her from the heat. If she were actually able to think straight while in the heat, she’d be able to quickly recognize that it’s impossible for him to do that, but the heat has the ability to screw with her mind and mess her thinking up. She’s completely lost while in it. She doesn’t like the cold much, either, but the heat definitely affects her in a much bigger way.
Another thing that will pull on her ability to remain composed is her fear of dogs. She doesn’t like to make it obvious and she never straight out states that she’s afraid of them, but the way she acts towards Chien’s dogs makes it more than obvious. She ends up screaming when she meets them, but she quickly tries to regain her composure and act like nothings wrong (though she does tell the party dogs go for the throat—). She doesn’t like to state the things that she fears, really.
A third thing that often gets to her is her issues with her weight. She fully believes that she’s fat, and she absolutely hates it when people bring up diets. She’ll lecture constantly, bringing out that disciplining mother side, whenever anything like that is brought up, or whenever anyone hints to her being fat. She’s just extremely sensitive about the fact, but she never really tries to hide her love of food. Any time food is brought up, she’s immediately excited about it, and she doesn’t hide it all that much. Of course, she doesn’t scream about being excited for food, but she noticeably perks up at the mention of it.
Her companions have tried to get her to exercise before, but she’s always been able to subtly avoid it (she hates physically exerting herself in any way). She can easily talk her way out of topics she doesn’t want to talk about, and this happens multiple times throughout the game with multiple topics. And her friends aren’t able to tell she’s talking her way out of it until she’s already done so and she’s gotten away from them. Ange is a sly sort of woman, who will always lie if needed (though she isn’t fond of it). She’ll do what she needs to in order to avoid unnecessary situations that she doesn’t want to be involved in, and she’ll do it in order to reach whatever goals she or the party may have at the time (such as when she lied to the guard in Kelm in order to get everyone in). It’s difficult to detect her lies or her subtly moving away from subjects she doesn’t like, since she’s always so composed and people tend to not think of her as that type of person.
She deceives people for good reasons — never for bad reasons. The reasons she lies are never because she wants to hurt anyone or do anything terrible — they’re always to do acts that are, in the end, good. One such time would be when Ricardo betrayed the party. Ange continued to act as if she had faith in him, but it was only to make sure that he wouldn’t have as hard a time from the others when he returned. She puts others above herself, always.
As a woman of the Church, it’s in her personality to lecture and talk about the Church whenever relevant. She’ll often try to teach the party anything she knows about Devaloka or the Church’s motives, or even what she knows about the current world’s state. She’ll talk about anything she knows a lot about (though only sometimes people will listen to her, considering half the party is made up of kids who don’t care about those topics much, or at least don’t care about being lectured in them). She’s actually rather complicated when it comes to the Church, however. She knows some of the things the Church may do is wrong, and she may not particularly believe in them, but she preaches them anyway. She does, however, hold a lot of values the Church holds, such as personal possessions not being needed, and she’ll talk highly of the Church at times, but at other times she’ll hesitate and show her disapproval in something related to the Church (she doesn’t particularly like talking bad about the Church, but she will show that she isn’t just some completely loyal Church woman by showing that she does believe in things differently than the Church does).
Lastly, it’s important to touch on the impact her past life has made on her. She feels absolutely terrible about what happened between Orifiel and Himmel, and still has a need to protect Himmel even in her new life. She feels as though Orifiel failed Himmel, and she doesn’t let herself live it down. She even ends up betraying the party in order to go with Albert, Himmel’s current life, without a second thought. She protects him and tries to make up for what her past life did. It’s important to her, protecting Himmel no matter what.
Overall, she’s a caring, gentle woman, who acts as the mother of the party and makes sure to care for everyone. She’s a good woman who values relationships and people’s safety and happiness over anything else.
Strengths:
→ Physical
»Ange's most notable physical strengths would be the ones made clear through battles in the game. She's the quick and agile type, with impressive skills with daggers; she can thrust them forward with great force, as well as whip them about in quick, swift movements. In addition to her abilities with melee fighting, she also has quite a bit of spells that she's capable of using -- from light elemental spells such as Ray or Holy Lance, to healing spells such as Heal or Resurrection.
→ Mental
»Most people would consider Ange to be the "fountain of information" in the group. Most of the time when there's a question that the other characters have, they'll go to Ange and ask about it; she's especially knowledgeable when it comes to the Church. Seeing as she's a priestess, she has to know quite a bit about it. She is definitely one of the most intelligent members of the group, if not the most intelligent. Along with her knowledge of the world, among other things, she's also quite skilled at avoiding questions she doesn't want to answer. When someone asks her something she doesn't want to talk about, she'll often ignore them, change the subject, feign ignorance, or even give an explanation that could make a bad thing sound good -- such as when Iria calls her a klepto, and she explains that the things she stole off the monsters were blessings from heaven.
→ Emotional
»Ange is practically the motherly figure of the group, always scolding others when they do something wrong, and trying her best to keep the group in order. She's a generally caring person, often trying to remind others of the good things in life, such as the good feeling one gets when helping others. She really does enjoy helping people, seeing as she works for the Church, and the Church's calling is to aid those in need; she uses her ability to heal to help others, and she's saved countless people. In addition to all of that, she is also generally good at keeping herself composed, though there are still things that can affect her quite a bit, and she'll let that show.
Weaknesses:
→ Physical
»One (kind of hilarious) physical weakness she has is her extreme dislike of heat. She acts almost like a child when in the heat, and she gets quite worked up. In the Kelm volcano, she's often whining about it -- in a tone of voice that's really only heard from her when she's in the heat. She becomes only concerned with how uncomfortable she is, and even demands that Ricardo properly protect her from it (which is impossible, clearly).
Another huge physical weakness she has is exercise. Despite being quite agile and quick when it comes to fighting with daggers, she actually doesn't enjoy running, or exercise in general. At one point in the game, Luca asks Ange if she can run, and she replies saying she can, but she's never been fond of doing so.
→ Mental
»Her weight is a huge issue for her. She's not actually as fat as she thinks she is, and other characters have mentioned that they don't really see what she's talking about, because she isn't really all that fat, but they have admitted that she isn't exactly skinny, either. She gets worked up and upset when there are discussions regarding diets or weight, and she's known to get very angry and take great offense to someone suggesting that she go on a diet.
→ Emotional
»A few things have affected her emotionally in a negative way, one of which being when she destroyed the cathedral in Naos. She feels she brought shame upon the Church, and she absolutely couldn't stand seeing the fear in the people's eyes when she was captured -- it was terrifying. She had helped them, and now they looked like they were afraid of her, and that hurt her a lot to have to see. She's a very caring person by nature, so destroying something like that caused her to doubt herself a lot. She doesn't like seeing people with sadness, fear, anger, etc. in their eyes in general, really.
Probably the biggest emotional thing to affect her would be her past life, Orifiel, though. His relationship with Himmel is extremely important to her and it is definitely something she's incapable of forgetting. She definitely feels a huge need to protect Himmel, and she would leave her comrades in an instant to be with him (or his new life, at least -- Albert) -- which does end up happening in the game. Anything about Himmel can immediately gain her attention, and if Albert is threatened or put in danger, it can affect her thought process and actions quite a bit. She really wouldn't be able to think straight.

First Person:
[ A slightly angry-sounding young woman’s voice will now be broadcasting over the journals. ]
To any of you who may know either Spada, Iria, or Hermana, I deeply apologize for their past actions. [ Quietly leaving out the well-behaved one. ] I have already spoken to them about what they have done. And they will be taking full responsibility for their actions. I apologize for whatever trouble they may have caused you, and I will be contacting those of you they have confessed to troubling. Please report to me whatever they have done.
I have had just about enough of their complete disregard for others, and I hope the people of Luceti will be able to forgive them. They will not be causing you any trouble in the future. If they do, I would appreciate it if you contacted me immediately.
[ Hi, Luceti, can you tell she isn’t happy? And there is a pause here before she continues. ]
Thank you for your cooperation. And, again, I apologize for what my companions have done.
Third Person:
It doesn’t take Ange long to put the pieces together and realize she’s back in Luceti. She’s been away for a long time but she can still recognize certain landmarks and other such things, and she can certainly recognize that it isn’t Naraka. She can’t say she’s happy to be back in Luceti, since she has extremely important affairs to attend to in Naraka, and she didn’t have the most pleasant time the last time she was in Luceti.
She decides it would be best if she tried to get used to the place again, seeing as she’s probably be there for a while. And her first instinct is to look around her for her journal, to contact others and possibly check to see if there are any of her friends here. It’d be best to let them know she’s arrived. That’s her first and most important priority, and next is to find a place to stay. Her memory is fuzzy and she can’t quite remember where her old room was, but perhaps a friend can help her out. Surely housing won’t be much of a problem — the Luceti community is a helpful bunch. Then, she’ll work on getting her clothes and then getting settled. This whole process is much easier the second time.
After a moment of searching, she finds her journal, and gets herself reacquainted with it. Flipping through the pages, her memories of how to use it flood back, and she quietly addresses the people of Luceti.
“Hello, I am Ange Serena. I seem to have returned here. If any of my companions happen to be here as well, I would like for you to contact me. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me. Thank you.”
