Character Buiding
Why does she care the way she does?
After Angelika’s family was murdered, her life was full of chaos, pain, brainwashing, and hatred. She had little else to do at this time, other than to dream of a future where things would be better. When she escaped her past and moved to Erudus she developed a physical reaction to pain, hers and others. Although it may be dangerous, she feels she must intervene to stop others hurting as she once did.
What are Angelika’s identifiable characteristics that are unusual?
Angelika’s laugh is unusual. It is loud, uneven, and her voice often cracks. It is not hard to hear her in a crowd.

What comfort objects or rituals does Angelika have?
Angelika has an old amethyst bracelet that she fingers when she is stressed. The bracelet is cracked in areas, and the clasp opens by itself and the bracelet gets lost. The bracelet shows up in strange ways.
