02Appearance
Angelica is described as extremely sickly and frail, with pale skin but faintly red lips. Her neck often trembles and seems as if it could easily snap under the weight of her own head. She has long, wavy hair decorated with flowers. Because of her condition, blood frequently trickles out of her mouth and inhibits her from doing strenuous movements.↗↗↗
She wears a short, sleeveless nightgown decorated with a wrap vaguely resembling interconnected eyes directly below her chest. Underneath the dress, she wears bloomers with flowers printed on above the hem. A string of beads wrap around both her legs, starting from the shins up to near her ankles. She also wears low-heeled shoes.↗
03Personality
As a young "junkie girl", Angelica is an inattentive and absent-minded girl, often lost in her own thoughts due to the severe effects of the drugs produced by Sezione Droghe. To alleviate this, she takes the ones Volpe developed with Manic Depression, which temporarily inhibits the aggravation of her illness. Her abstracted behavior is notable when she seems to not have noticed Sale and Mario Zucchero, who both initially infiltrated their hideout in order to ambush their team.↗↗
Despite this, she retains a rather optimistic and bubbly personality, and has a rather skewed amusement when it comes to others' misfortune. She resorts to bursting into laughter when Volpe treated Cataldi harshly. She also has little to no remorse when it comes to violence, even if her life is on the line, and would willingly endanger an entire town if she feels she has to.↗↗
Having been a member of the Sezione Droghe, Angelica is very fond of her teammates and would not hesitate to kill anyone who gets in their way. She also shows a sense of motherly love to Vittorio, especially when she kissed him on his face in order to encourage him in their confrontation with Pannacotta Fugo 's team, who had been sent out to eliminate them.↗↗

05Story
SPOILERS
Background
Not much is known about Angelica's past prior to becoming a member of Passione aside from being a junkie. Born with a rare blood disease, Volpe used his own Stand to temporarily inhibit the disease's progression.↗↗↗
Purple Haze Feedback
Angelica uses Nightbird Flying to lure Sale and Mario Zucchero further into the warehouse in Villa San Giovanni, leaving them vulnerable to the rest of the Sezione Droghe. After Sale's death, she informs a just-returning Volpe of Zucchero's whereabouts, explaining to Volpe the nature of Zucchero's Stand, leading to his death.↗
After Kocaqi returns, Angelica happily greets him, resting on his knee like a cat. After Kocaqi finishes his exchange with Volpe over Volpe's role in the team, Angelica laughs, saying that everyone in the team is great.↗
During Volpe's interrogation of Zucchero, Angelica notices Volpe's attention to Fugo 's name being mentioned and asks if the two were friends. Volpe denies it, saying Fugo never had any friends, but Angelica still prods him for answers, further asking what it's like to fight a friend. Her insistence displeases Volpe, but Angelica only moves to drape over him, complaining about his frown, and encourages him to smile for her.↗
When news of his death reaches the remaining teammates, Angelica sobs loudly in a corner of the warehouse, now covered in scratches, broken bones, and blood from Vittorio's vicious, grief-driven self-harm. It is not until after Volpe collapses onto the ground and Vittorio's self-harm stops that she herself stops sobbing. Vittorio determines that their only choice now is to steal the Stone Mask hidden underground in Ortygia, a small island in Syracuse, Sicily, known as a historical center.↗
A brief debate over the necessity of the Stone Mask goes on between Vittorio and Volpe, but Angelica suddenly sobs loudly, angry and staring at nothing. She exclaims that they must make Fugo and his group pay for Kocaqi's murder. Vittorio agrees with her, and she follows him out of the warehouse.↗
After they split up, Angelica hides with Volpe in a room, using Nightbird Flying on Syracuse to get to Fugo's group. The Stand enables Vittorio to reach the mask's location, with everyone around in a zombie-like state. It causes a car in front of the one Sheila E. drives to crash, spreading to other car crashes as well. Sheila E. stops their car abruptly, telling Fugo that he has to take care of the rest himself, as her nerves have gotten to her.↗
Using her Stand, Angelica is in a dazed state, staring vacantly at nothing, with Volpe beside her. Volpe leaves, and the sounds of car crashes and other havoc do nothing to stir Angelica. However, after her Stand returns and lands on her finger, she comes to. Now aware of her surroundings, fury overcomes her, and she vows that Fugo will pay for Kocaqi's murder.↗
After stabbing him, Angelica makes her escape, and the horde piles over on Fugo. However, this makes her easy to spot, and Fugo is able to attack her with Purple Haze. With Angelica dying, the horde's nature slowly dissipates and calms, and Volpe finds his way out, frantically looking for Angelica.↗
She announces her presence to Volpe, much to his relief, and tries to approach him only to stagger and slump against the streetlight to support herself, staring at him with wide eyes. Volpe moves to approach her, smiling, but Angelica abruptly points her finger at him happily. Volpe is confused, and Angelica says that she finds his smile cute. She smiles to herself and falls to the ground. Succumbing to the viral erosion of Purple Haze, she dies.↗
