BIO:

Angel is an agent of a secret organization known as NESTS. She is assigned to keep an eye on K9999, whose purpose is to hunt down traitorous experiments that had left NESTS. They set off to find K' and other traitors of the organization. Near the end of the KOF 2001 tournament, it is revealed that both Angel and K9999 are on a mission to kill Kula and her guardians.

Some of her moves and mannerisms pay homage to entertainer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Most notably, her "Winds Fairground", "Blue Monday Parade" and "Survivor's Banquet" mimic his "Laying the Smacketh Down", "Rock Bottom" and "People's Elbow" respectively. Her name is properly pronounced as "Ahn-hehl" as per the Spanish pronunciation of the word.

Angel instantly brought a new level of excitement to KOF back in 2001. I was with it and enjoying new KOF characters during this time. Angel's outfit and appearance aren't short on "sexy" and she isn't holding back on her looks or her brutal pro-wrestling moves. Adding to her visual appeal and epic curves, she's a master of cool and stylish poses, making her a perfect fit for the series. Her funny facial expressions and mannerisms added a ton of personality to her classic 2D sprite which I was a fan of. IMO, Angel's 2D sprite is one of the all-time best from the "old style" of KOF games. She's a great example of the evolution of 2D KOF. Angel packs a dynamic and cool 2D fighting style. She's got flashy high kicks, but can also "layeth the smacketh down" with her badass pro-wrestling moves! OHH YEAAA. C'mon... she does the freakin' PEOPLE'S ELBOW... If ya smell what Angel's cookin'. Angel is a refreshingly different character in a lot of ways, bringing along her epic personality and references, and for that reason is one of my favorite KOF females that I forget exists from time to time. Yeah, she's "sexualized" in some ways, but that's certainly not the only aspect of her design. I think she might've been slightly inspired by DOA's Tina. Why Angel didn't make the crossover to DOA6 (and Kula did) is something I will never understand.
