"I'm Angela, princess of Altena."

—3D selection

Angela (アンジェラ, Anjera) is one of the six main characters of Trials of Mana.

Profile

Appearance

Angela as depicted in the character selection menu

Angela is a young woman with long lilac hair and green eyes, described as the image of her mother the True Queen. However, she also has tapered ears, not unlike those of elves. In her default Magician class, Angela's outfit consists of a red leotard with a wrap-around garment at the waist that forms a cape, along with a purple hair ornament, choker, gloves, and boots.

In the remake, her clothing is trimmed with gold accents, her boots have long oriental points more defined high heels, and these along with her cuffs and choker are adorned with gemstones. She also sports a pair of jewel earrings In both versions, she wields wands and staves as weapons.

As she learns to switch classes in the remake, Angela's attire will change according to the path she takes. Her Light classes give her more coverage overall, emphasizing dresses and fuller capes, while her Dark classes veer toward full bikinis and expose more of her body as they progress upward.

Personality

Owing to a lack of support from her mother, Angela has developed a rebellious air. She was known to play pranks on the Queen's courtiers, for which she was scolded frequently. She often views others as below her and has a quick temper, demonstrated when events do not go her way. Her stubbornness has caused some friction between her and the court mage José, as she has skipped his lessons at times.

Her portrayal in the remake is that of a spoiled princess, when in reality she struggles with her lack of ability as well as rejection by the Queen. In the English script, she speaks in a dialect typical of Southern California.

Story

"Wendel, huh? I don't know what awaits me there, but it's better than getting caught in my own kingdom. I'll go. It can't be worse than here. If I learn how to handle my magic, maybe my mother will welcome me back... There's a chance, at least."

See also: Angela's Introduction

Angela is the only princess of the ice-covered Altena, Kingdom of Magicians. Her mother, Valda, the True Queen, uses her magic to keep the Altenish citadel in a perpetual spring. However, like her country, Valda is cold and unfeeling towards her daughter, who has become lonely and selfish as a result of her upbringing. The fact that Angela is the only person in Altena who cannot use magic does not improve her disposition. As the world's mana starts to fade, the Queen's spell weakens, and winter begins to return to Altena. In order for her spell to continue and prevent Altena from freezing over, Valda, following the advice of the Crimson Wizard, decides to invade other nations and claim their Mana Stones. Once done, she would make use of a cursed ancient spell intended to unlock the power of Mana kept in the Stones, opening the way to the infinite power found in the Sword of Mana, letting her spell continue. Unfortunately, the spell for unlocking the power of the Mana Stones requires the user to sacrifice a life when it is cast; Valda decides to sacrifice her own daughter to power the spell.

When Angela learns of this, she unwittingly uses her latent magical powers to teleport out of Altena and into the Frostbite Fields. She soon succumbs to the cold and collapses, but citizens from the nearby town of Alrant find her and nurse her back to health. After receiving counsel from a wandering fortune-teller, Angela decides to travel to the Holy City Wendel and ask the Priest of Light for guidance.

Angela shares many story elements with Duran, who lives in Valsena, one of the many kingdoms Altena tries to invade. If either of them is chosen as the main hero in Trials of Mana, the main villain will be the Dragon Lord and the final dungeon will be Dragonsmaw.

Abilities

Angela is a somewhat stereotypical "mage" character, having weak physical abilities but access to a variety of powerful magic. Though Angela cannot use magic at first, she begins to learn moves with the help of the Mana Spirits that join the heroes on their quest. Changing classes allows her to use more powerful moves; Angela's Light and Dark classes primarily allow her to use more powerful Light and Dark magic, respectively. Her Light classes have a larger focus in causing large amounts of damage to multiple enemies while her dark classes focus more on focusing damage on one target.

Classes

Below is a list of Angela's classes. The first class change takes place at Level 18, while the second one takes place at Level 38, with the latter requiring specific items acquired from ??? Seeds.

Level	Light		Dark
Lv. 1	Magician
Lv. 18	Sorceress		Mysticist (Delver)
Lv. 38	Grand Diviner (Grand Divina) (Arcana Book)	Archmage (Esotera Book)	Rune Seer (Rune Master) (Rune Book)	Magus (Omen Book)
Post-Game (remake only)	Mystic Queen (Sage Sphere)		Spellbinder (Sage Sphere)

Note:

• Class 4 path is dependent upon the path of the Class 2 switch. All Class 3 abilities learnt are retained.

Sorceress

The Sorceress is the path both expected of the Magician and respected by all who know the rigors of the arcane, and not without good reason. Having tempered a lust for power with reason and focus, the Sorceress calls down incredible destruction on her foes- blizzards, firestorms, lightning and rock slides all serve as warning to those who would waylay her. While her skill with dark magic wanes, the power of light beckons, offering a powerful ray of scorching light that reduces unholy foes to ash.

Mysticist (Delver)

Rather than an interest and focus on the path of methodology, proper rites, and traditionally proven workings of magic to utilize it as it is, the Mysticist has instead directed their focus on seeking the ways of achieving greater magical power itself to bend all phenomena to their whim. However, such a path veers nearest the temptation of achieving power at any cost and the will to even undergo the ways of the dark arts.

Grand Diviner (Grand Divina)

Those who are afraid of the darkness have never seen what the powers of light can do when roused. Some practitioners of war magic feel that some holy force has called them to learn such terrible things, that the wicked would remain afraid and hesitate to wage open war. Having all but abandoned the dark arts, the Grand Diviner does not so much fight evil as she reduces it to very small bits, spreading her magics to envelop enemies in a cornucopia of elemental pain.

Archmage

The path taken by those whose practice of magic is for the sake of the practice of magic. Redundant as it may sound, this pragmatic, life-long study of what magic is and is not allows the Archmage to have an understanding of the elementals that is free from both holier-than-thou or megalomaniac mentalities. Her skills with magic go beyond mere recitation of moves, having developed an almost first-name basis relationship with the four prime elementals Salamander, Gnome, Undine, and Jinn. This bond is such that she can call on them directly to wreak havoc on those who would interrupt her study with banditry and other such unsavory diversions, meaning that most Archmages are left well enough alone.

Rune Seer (Rune Master)

Considered the true embodiment of the dark arts of magic, the Rune Seer has achieved their mastery through reinforcing their quest for ultimate magic power through controlling such might through the ways of harnessing by incantation and binding such forces upon call through evocation. Utilizing the power of knowledge, the Rune Seer has vigorously studied long lost languages of mystical influence and magical power believed to tie deeply into the fabric of creation itself, and through their influence, summons terrifyingly great forces of nature upon their recital. As such, the might of Rune Seers call upon moves of such order and chaos that though their magic brings about unmatched spell power, their aftermath is dangerously unpredictable to their intended recipients.

Magus

Considered to have strayed far from the path of contemporary magehood, the Magus has reached the echelons of attaining what can be called the ultimate level of magical power. Delving deeper into study than any typical practitioner of magic, the Magus has rediscovered lost and ancient methodologies to apply that excel anything the current world sees in use; however, whether they know it or not, such methods tapped into discovered at their era were decided to be forgotten: considered with potential of great danger and abuse, these ways were then cast down as taboo, and were abandoned for the sake of such forbidden practices to never ravage the world again. Now in command of these forsaken powers, heaven and earth trembles in the face of such magic that indiscriminately destroys and decimates all who stand in the way of its caster.

Class Strikes

Below is a list of skill attacks Angela learns across her different classes:

Level	Light		Dark
Lv. 1	Double Slash (Magician)
Lv. 18	Love Typhoon (Sorceress)		Pummel Star (Mysticist)
Lv. 38	Boomerang Spiral (Grand Diviner)	Dancing Wand (Archmage)	Ton Shatter (Rune Seer)	Hotshot (Magus)
Post-Game (remake only)	Blessed Pledge (Mystic Queen)		Ton Annihilation (Spellbinder)

Moves

As a spell-caster, Angela is capable of learning a plethora of moves, which are all of the offensive variety. Depending on her final class, Angela will also learn an ultimate spell unique to that class as well.

Below is a table of moves Angela learns across her different classes:

Level	Light		Dark
Lv. 1	Holy Bolt Holy Bolt +2D Diamond Shards Diamond Shards +2D Cyclone Cyclone +2D Evil Gate2D Evil Gate +2D Fireball2D Fireball +2D Ice Smash2D Ice Smash +2D ((Magician)
Lv. 18	Holy Bolt +3D Diamond Shards +3D Cyclone +3D Evil Gate3D Evil Gate +3D Fireball3D Fireball +3D Ice Smash3D Ice Smash +3D Earthquake Explode Spike Freeze Thunderstorm Lucent Beam (Sorceress)		Holy Bolt +3D Diamond Shards +3D Cyclone +3D Evil Gate3D Evil Gate +3D Fireball3D Fireball +3D Ice Smash3D Ice Smash +3D Dark Force (Mysticist)
Lv. 38	Earthquake + Explode + Spike Freeze + Thunderstorm + Lucent Beam + Doppelganger (Grand Diviner)	Earthquake + Explode + Spike Freeze + Thunderstorm + Lucent Beam + Glitter Dust (Archmage)	Stun Gust Cold Blaze Blaze Wall Stone Cloud Annihilate (Rune Seer)	Earthquake Explode Spike Freeze Thunderstorm Ancient Curse (Magus)

• Note 1: Angela is able to target one/all enemies with all moves learnt during her Magician class after obtaining the corresponding mana spirit.

• Note 2: Angela will learn how to multi-target 'light' upper-level moves (such as Earthquake and Explode) when she changes class into either a Grand Diviner or an Archmage.

• Note 3: If Angela changes class to a Rune Seer, her Dark Force spell will be upgraded to target all enemies. The Magus does not learn to multi-target Dark Force.
• Note 4: Neither the Rune Seer nor Magus can multi-target the upper-level moves they learn in the four classical elements.

Equipment

Weapons

Angela comes to wield wands and staves that are enchanted to help augment and strengthen her magic and mind. As Angela progresses in terms of classes, Sorceress weapons are made in mind to help discipline and draw out its wielder's inner power in balance with its own enchantments, while Mysticists come to bear staves rooted in construction from occult and even forbidden rituals to bestow its user with unparalleled magic power.
