----- Appearance As a child, Angelina had wild, curly black hair usually tied into a ponytail and hazel eyes. She had lightly tanned skin and stood about 4'5", presenting a shy, girlish demeanor. She wore overalls, cutesy dresses, and floral tennis shoes. As a teenager, she grew to about 5'3" and adopted a rougher tomboy style: bright-colored T-shirts, ripped jeans, and green sneakers. She often straightened her hair through treatments. Lion-Gal Form As Lion-Gal, short orange fur covers her athletic yet curvy body. Her eyes become feline with a yellow-green glow. Her hair grows long and wild down to mid-thigh, thick and curly. Slightly protruding canines show over her lips, and her human nose becomes a small black feline nose. Cat ears emerge from a large white mane atop her head.
Her limbs are lean and muscular while her hips and chest remain curvy. Her abdomen forms a defined six-pack.
She is almost always on duty and typically wears a sleeveless black leotard with a high collar. Her claws are covered by white gloves reaching mid-bicep, and matching go-go boots extend to her lower thighs.
Off duty, she prefers tennis shoes, short shorts, and bright midriff tops. On dates, she wears a cute red, white, or green dress with black heels. If seen nude, she has a small nub tail at the base of her lower back.
----- Backstory Born to a Japanese mother and Puerto Rican father, Angelina Estevez lived a mostly normal childhood. She was shy and had few friends, though she possessed a temper when pushed.
Her life changed when she met Andres. Whether it was his bad-boy energy or the fact that he defended her from bullies, the two quickly became inseparable. For the first time, she began opening up — even helping him fight off bullies when he was overwhelmed.
Through high school she became more independent, often clashing with her parents. Her friendship with Andres grew into a relationship, though she never met his family and suspected why based on rumors. Their relationship ended after she caught him kissing another girl at a rave. She avoided him despite his repeated attempts to apologize.
While distancing herself from Andres, she began noticing disturbing changes in her father. His blue eyes shifted to a sickly green. His brown hair became long and white.
His behavior grew erratic. She secretly investigated and found evidence linking him to missing pets. Before she could confront him, the family abruptly moved to California, where he claimed to receive funding for government research in San Diego.
After a year, his transformation worsened — goat-like eyes, strange animal fur on his lab coat, and increasingly secretive behavior.
One night she followed him to an abandoned building hosting a rave-like gathering. Symbols were painted everywhere and attendees appeared as anthropomorphic animals — snakes, bears, lions, and more. She was captured as an outsider and brought to a stage where her father stood transformed: a lion-like figure with a wolf tail in ceremonial garb.
She begged him to stop and come back to himself. Instead, he injected her with a strange liquid, mutating her into a lion-human hybrid. Expecting obedience, he was instead attacked. She clawed his chest and escaped. The next day she mourned. The last person she considered home was gone.
She later joined the SSDF — State Super Defense Force, where she trained for years and became one of their top fighters and a public favorite, even participating in charity events. Despite this, officials considered her “not marketable” as the program’s main hero and assigned her to find a suitable public representative. While reviewing candidates, she discovered Andres Santos. She hopes bringing him in won’t become her biggest mistake.
----- Personality On duty, Angelina is focused, analytical, and professional. She treats missions seriously even when enemies behave absurdly. She often tests opponents early in a fight to understand their style. She rarely loses composure — unless Andres is involved. She can use her appearance as a distraction, but only if necessary.
Off duty she is calmer and more relaxed. She is introverted, preferring books and television over parties, though she occasionally visits clubs or bars. She refuses to attend raves due to trauma from her past.
She enjoys flirting but far more subtly than Andres. Around him during missions she cycles between irritation, flirtation, and teamwork. Because of their unstable relationship, she sometimes seeks romance elsewhere, though her feelings for him clearly remain unresolved.
