Backstory:
Angel started out as one of the best cat burglars in the world, mentored by an infamous crime lord that operated out of South Florida. He had dealings the world over in organized crime, a healthy drug smuggling trade, and many other illegal operations. Trouble started for Angel, however, when he decided he'd like to make their relationship much more serious, and she turned him down. As punishment for her rejection, he made sure the police knew of her next heist, and she was arrested while he emptied her bank accounts.
Luckily, Angel managed to get a lawyer that convinced the judge in her case that she could be rehabilitated and her talents put to use as a hero in Paragon City. Her first stop would be the Starchasers, who took custody of her, as well as responsibility for her parole. While a member of that group, she met Tom Damon, and the two hit it off immediately, becoming fast friends, working together as often as they could.
Things didn't go smoothly for Angel, however, and became intricately complicated when she caught the eye of a villain who viewed the Starchasers as a threat. Agreeing to get close to him to learn more of his plans in order to help the Starchasers, Angel fell for the villain's charms and became caught in the middle of her obligations and emotions. In the end, she narrowly avoided being sent back to the Zig for parole violations and lost faith in the very heroes she'd looked to for how to be a better person.
Now, Angel is with the Guardians of Destiny - a group that tends to look the other way when she's a little less than heroic - and her parole is over. While being a hero has its appeal, she'll likely never fit the mold, though she'll always have a bent toward doing what she sees as the right thing.
