Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi

Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi is the titular protagonist of the CROSS ANGE Rondo of Angel and Dragon television series. She was the beloved First Princess of the Empire of Misurugi. However, after her older brother Julio revealed that she was a Norma, she was stripped of her privileges. She was then exiled to the island of Arzenal where she, under the new name known as Ange, was forced to fight DRAGON's with her fellow Norma while piloting the Ragna-mail AW-CBX007 (AG) Villkiss. After receiving news that her younger sister Sylvia was to be executed, she returned to her homeland to attempt a rescue. Unfortunately, it was a trap, as Sylvia betrayed her and it was revealed that the news of the execution was false. She was then sentenced to death, but was able to escape with the help of Tusk, returning to Arzenal thereafter. When Libertus succeeded and Embryo was executed by Tusk, Ange and the other Norma went to live with the DRAGON’s. The only mana users to join them were Momoka and Emma Bronson. Ange is last seen on Earth opening a café with Tusk and having a karaoke contest against Salamandinay. The rest of the Norma are enjoying their new lives among the DRAGON’s and are shocked when they meet Vivian’s father in his DRAGON form. Angelise is a beautiful young girl with long, golden hair and pink eyes (describe by Embryo "burning eyes" or "flaming eyes"). She has a slender yet voluptuous figure with a well-endowed chest. After her training on Arzenal, she gains tone. During her time as an imperial princess, she frequently wore dresses. As a princess, she spoke with a dignified and prideful voice. When she sheds her royal heritage and accepts that she is a Norma, Angelise changes drastically in both appearance and personality. She accepts her new identity Ange and ceremonially cuts her golden hair short and adopts a stoic disposition. Ange’s speech pattern completely changes to a more normal and casual tone. She no longer speaks with her prideful royal voice and now speaks with a more harsh and serious tone. Her face expresses either anger or is emotionless. In Arzenal, Ange wears the standard Norma uniform with a black skirt. Her piloting Uniform is royal blue. After Ange is captured by the Diamond Rose Knights and brought back to the Misurugi Empire, Ange dons a dress identical to the one she wore the day before being exposed as a Norma. This is used to display her growth as a person up to this point. After Ange attacked Salia in the Misurugi Palace, she donned a Diamond Rose Knights Uniform. This is used to escape from Embryo and the Diamond Rose Knights in the Misurugi Empire. Ange and Salia are probably the same size because when she steals Salia’s uniform it fits Ange almost perfectly. The only size problem being that Ange has a significantly larger bust than Salia. After fully unlocking the Villkiss, she dons a white piloting uniform that the Villkiss provides. At the end of the series, Ange’s hair has grown to shoulder length. When in a karaoke contest against Sala, Ange wears a simple white sleeveless top and jeans. At the end of the series, she is seen wearing a waitress uniform for Cafe Ange. At first, Angelise portrayed herself as dignified, proud, and loving. Acting like a sister-figure to the other girls at her school, prioritized them over winning a game, yet also felt that as a princess, she should be the best at everything, which Julio criticized as trying to be a "perfect princess". She genuinely considered her maid Momoka to be a close personal friend and felt that all of the people of her country were equals, and that as the first princess, she should lead them. However, her ideology of equality did not account to the Norma, believing them not to be human and that they were vile in nature and should be quarantined at all cost. Upon her exposure as a Norma, something she was not even aware of, she completely denied the possibility, seeing herself as a kind person which contrasted with what the genuine public thought of them. She heavily denied what she was when she was exiled to Arzenal and her chauvinism got her off to an uneasy start with the other Norma comrades. She clung onto her past privileges, status, reputation, and confidently claimed that her being sent to Arzenal was a mistake and that her empire would send for her release. She used her inability to use Mana as an excuse to reassure herself.(CROSS ANGE: "Fallen Princess"). Her time in Arzenal has been shown to have weighed down heavily on her psyche. Having a cavity search, and seeing the deaths of Coco Reeve, Miranda Campbell, and Zola Axberg, have had a driving impact on her to the point of simply wanting to die. Coco was particularly tragic because she reminded her of her own sister, but quickly denied it to herself when she thought of it. In the end, her mother's last words to her "live on" became her sole driving force to continue existing, and this is what stopped her from her suicidal impact on a DRAGON to kill it instead.(CROSS ANGE: "Villkiss Awakens"). Afterward, Angelise finally accepted the fact that she is a Norma, abandoned her former identity, and vowed to kill in order to survive by ceremonially cutting her hair short. Under her new identity "Ange", her personality is a lot calmer and strong-willed. However, since she had always believed that Norma aren't human, she can no longer see herself as human either. Ange no longer wants anything to do with her former self. When Momoka arrived at Arzenal and referred to her as "Angelise", Ange pretended she didn't even know her old name nor Momoka herself. When Momoka later tried somewhat to change her lifestyle into what it used to be, when she was still a princess, Ange angrily rejected it all and told Momoka is no longer "Angelise". She did, however, show some regret that her being a Norma, supposedly, played a big role in the disappearance of the Empire of Mitsurugi. Initially, she would act very cold to the other residents of Arzenal, claiming to see them as nothing more than "bugs", "pests" and "cockroaches". She didn't see the 1st squadron as a team, because Hilda, Rosalie and Chris continuously attempted to shoot her down and hinder her during combat. Causing Ange to continuously ignore her orders and try to kill as many DRAGON's by herself as possible, which also caused her earn more money, which inadvertently caused her teammates to develop a sense of jealousy. Ange didn't want to get close to anyone, as seen when she slapped away Vivian's hand when she tried to give her a little mascot in an attempt to start a friendship. However, after meeting Tusk, Ange began to open up to others more. She would, however, still ignore her orders and kill as many DRAGON's alone as she could. However, after she prevented her teammates from being killed by a dragon, which was only possible because she followed her orders, and Salia ordered Hilda, Rosalie, and Chris to stop targeting her, Ange agreed to listen to her superiors and to stop taking all the kills for herself and finally, she began to form a bond with her teammates. Despite her cold demeanor towards others, it is hinted several times that deep down Ange still cared about others. When there was a possibility that Momoka might have been executed because she discovered the existence of Arzenal and the DRAGON's, she used all the money she earned up till that point to save her by "purchasing" her. Also, Mei believed that the real reason why Ange tried to kill all of the DRAGON's by herself was that she didn't want anyone else to die because of her, like Coco, Miranda, and Zola did. Also, she tried to reason with her old friend Akiho when she had returned to Misurugi before the latter tried to alert the police in secret. When asked by Misty if she really was a Norma when the latter visited Arzenal, Ange freely admitted to it, before using her to escape. After the transport locks had been freed by Hilda who also wished to escape, she attempted to ditch the person most responsible for bullying her. Hilda persisted and caught up, and explained her motives for escape, and the two finally buried their grudge once and for all. After being put up for execution and being subject to the jeers of the Mana society, Ange realizes their true nature and calls them savages. At the detention cell, she chastises her old self for believing in friendship and bonds and proposes to "destroy the infuriating world" together with Hilda. She deemed the Mana-users stupid and very despicable.
