Angelina is a casual dresser - always has been, always will be. She has never invested herself too much in fashion - yes, she wants to look good, but Lina was never the type to grab the exotic items off the shelf. There is nothing bold in her closet; her clothing style is very simple and straightforward, with an subtle touch of elegance. Overall, Angelina's look is always sleek and uncluttered, although it can range from trendy white blouses to a typical gray sweatshirt. This rule applies to Lina's formal wear as well; she's one for sleekness, a dress usually containing one color throughout (usually black or white). However, despite that, Angelina always wears something to accent her relatively plain accents, usually a simple golden necklace or a pair of earring studs.

Angelina is pretty, no doubt about that. Her Israeli genes are evident in her appearance, especially her skin tone. Lina's complexion is usually slightly tanned. Her lips are pink and plump and Angelina's groomed eyebrows have a natural look to them. Dark chestnut locks frame her oval face; they have reddish undertones that are evident is certain lighting, and Angelina's tresses fade to a lighter golden-brown near the tips. However, Lina's most striking feature is undoubtedly her bold jewel-toned eyes. They are a deep blue brighter than the bluest seas, and are the most attention-grabbing feature on her face. Usually, Angelina prefers not to wear makeup, but if she does, it's to accentuate her eyes. Lina's ears are pierced - she usually wears simple studs, and never wears extravagant jewelry.
Angelina has been doing martial arts since she was six years old, along with a little parkour for conditioning. One thing most people don't know about Angelina is that she's rather fond of astronomy. She doesn't care much for the beauty of stars or constellations, but rather, she's interested in the science of space. Angelina also enjoys puzzles; she's good at them, after all. Angelina loves watching crime shows - that includes The Blacklist and How to Get Away With Murder, and thinks that criminology is rather interesting. Lina, despite not being officially diagnosed with OCD or anything of the sort, is a hardcore clean freak. She needs everything to be perfect, and does not tolerate messiness. Angelina shares a close bond with her older sister, Marianna, and admires her maternal half-sister, Reyna Castellano.

Angelina despises rollerskating for no clear reason. She finds most sports boring, although there are always a few exceptions. Angelina feels that warm weather uncomfortable, and would prefer a bite of cold. Lina dislikes romance for the most part, and overly sexual people. She and her older stepsister, Tanya Blažek, don't have the best relationship, in all honesty. She doesn't really care for social media, although there are times when Angelina believes it to be helpful. Lina strongly dislikes messy people, or messes in general, and cannot stand it when people are late. Angelina prefers smart talk over small talk, and believes that being racist, sexist, and/or homophobic is highly illogical. She finds applying makeup to be a little frustrating. Due to her responsible personality, Lina holds a dislike for slackers or lazy people.
Angelina's friends can vouch for her; she is no meek soul. There is nothing short of intense about Lina. Her entire demeanor is strong and assertive; she knows what she wants, and she knows she will get it. Angelina has been called intimidating at times - despite her vigorous and powerful presence, she is not extroverted in a gregarious way. Rather, Angelina can be a bit forceful, even ruthless. She has been called dynamic and assertive by some, and ruthlessly cold and determined by others. She knows how to put her foot down - maybe a bit too much.
Yes, along with being called intimidating, some have called Angelina outright scary - what a contradiction to her given name. Lina is blessed with what people call a resting bitch face. She is mature for her age and rather stern as well. Angelina doesn't let loose that often, and is quite a serious character. Her unrelenting nature further emphasizes her severe persona. Angelina had never been too good with verbal encouragement, and is more like a drill sergeant instead of a helping hand.
Angelina, despite her coolly confident demeanor, is actually extremely cautious. She can be described as overly suspicious of everything - paranoid, even. She is notoriously mistrustful of everything; in fact, she checks everything so much that nothing has managed to escape Lina's sharp eye. Her overly paranoid persona allows Angelina to literally never make a slip-up. Angelina is also a bit of a control freak; she feels confident in her own abilities, and starts feeling skeptical when it comes to others, even her friends. She's known as the perfectionist in her group - although Angelina is never one to openly show anxiety, her friends know she won't stop fussing until everything's absolutely perfect.
Although Angelina doesn't intend to be a bully, she speaks the truth. She won't shower you with half-hearted compliments - this girl knows her criticism. Although Angelina is far from an open book, she might as well be, since she speaks her unfiltered mind, so much that she can be incredibly insensitive. Angelina might not have the intentions of hurting someone's feelings, but it's safe to say that she doesn't care too much about other people's sensitivity.
Despite the fact that Angelina is a rather direct person, at the same time, her words usually have a unspoken meaning. Depending on how much someone's personality appeals to Lina, she can either be surprisingly friendly or downright moody. If someone's always on time and incredibly organized, Angelina might actually be pleasant to them. However, if that person does not meet Angelina's expectations for neatness and organization, she might be incredibly sarcastic instead.
You will literally never see Angelina Croce slacking off. It defies the laws of nature. Some might call her a goody-two shoes, but once you understand Angelina's demeanor, you'll know that's not true. She's just very responsible and has a great respect for work ethic. Angelina isn't a very discriminating person, and that applies to rich kids as well. However, if they use their parents' money to be lazy, then Lina will have absolutely no sympathy for them. Angelina isn't biased, and judges people based off of her own criteria.

Angelina has a very large immediate family. Her mother married her first husband and had Angelina's half-siblings. After her mother's husband died, Angelina's parents married each other and had three girls. After that, Angelina's father remarried, and now Angelina has a stepmother and three step-siblings.
✦ Vincenzo Walter Croce ✧ 52 ✦ Richard Speight Jr. ✧ father ↣ Angelina and her father have never been very close. Angelina has nothing against Vincenzo, but they aren't best buds either, since the latter usually invests his time is something other than his daughters.
✦ Sonje Simcha Hummel ✧ 50 ✦ Nieves Álvarez ✧ mother ↣ Ever since her mother left when Angelina was eight, Lina had been holding a distrust for her mother. They rarely ever contact each other, and when they do, it's stiff.
✦ Stephanie Blažek ✧ 48 ✦ Julianne Moore ✧ stepmother ↣ Stephanie clearly makes an attempt to be kind to Angelina, but the former doesn't have endless reserves of patience. Although Lina's stepmother is still rather empathetic and caring, the two's relationship mainly consists of Stephanie smiling politely and Angelina being deadpan.
✦ Marianna Galit Elke Croce ✧ 21 ✦ Megan Fox ✧ older sister ↣ Angelina is closest to her older sister, Marianna, by far. The latter started prostituting herself to make money when the family was in a bad situation five years ago. At that time, Vincenzo Croce was laid off and Sonje Hummel had been gone for three years. The Croce family had a rapidly decreasing supply of money, and in order to keep the life they had before, Marianna sold her body for extra income. Autumn's uncle was a particularly abusive but well-paying client of Marianna's. Angelina wasn't very comfortable with the situation, but did nothing to stop it. When their father got a new job and married Stephanie Blažek, Marianna stopped prostituting herself, but Autumn's uncle was relentless and had dirt on the Croce family. Angelina wasn't happy with that; when she overheard Autumn's uncle threatening Marianna in private, at the age of thirteen, Angelina hunted the man down and killed him, using a plan that took months to devise.
✦ Esmeralda Kestrel Croce ✧ 13 ✦ Aubrey Miller ✧ younger sister ↣ Esmeralda, known more commonly by her unique middle name, Kestrel, isn't as close to Angelina as the latter is with Marianna. Kestrel and Angelina have a rather decent sisterly relationship, the former being a feisty yet empathetic person, but they aren't as close as they could be.
✦ Lukas Conner Anatolios Castellano ✧ 24 ✦ Francisco Lachowski ✧ maternal half-brother ↣ Lukas and Angelina had a good brother-sister relationship when they were younger. However, after Lukas left for college when Angelina was ten, the two drifted apart.
✦ Reyna Ulla Castellano ✧ 23 ✦ Courtney Eaton ✧ maternal half-sister ↣ Although Angelina might not willingly admit it out loud, she does admire her half-sister. Reyna is highly skilled and is already a key member in the nation's intelligence. They weren't extremely close when Angelina was younger, but they had a decent relationship, despite Reyna being rather aloof.
✦ Peter Casimir Samuel Slade Blažek ✧ 24 ✦ Dougie Poynter ✧ older stepbrother ↣ Sometimes, Angelina has a hard time remembering that she has an existing stepbrother. Nothing against Peter, but he's working so often that he never gets the chance to visit any of his family.
✦ Tanya Wilda Aleta Sharron Blažek ✧ 19 ✦ Lindsey Morgan ✧ older stepsister ↣ Tanya hates Reyna Castellano and Marianna Croce, and she makes no attempt to hide it. In turn, Angelina despises her older stepsister, and will do anything to make her life miserable.
✦ Joye Maryann Stacie Blažek ✧ 13 ✦ Francesca Capaldi ✧ younger stepsister ↣ Joye and Kestrel have a far better relationship than Angelina has with either of them. Joye is a soft-spoken child and very tolerable, but Angelina rarely pays attention to her.
✦ Vincenzo Walter Croce ✧ 52 ✦ Richard Speight Jr. ✧ father ↣ Angelina and her father have never been very close. Angelina has nothing against Vincenzo, but they aren't best buds either, since the latter usually invests his time is something other than his daughters.
✦ Sonje Simcha Hummel ✧ 50 ✦ Nieves Álvarez ✧ mother ↣ Ever since her mother left when Angelina was eight, Lina had been holding a distrust for her mother. They rarely ever contact each other, and when they do, it's stiff.

Angelina Brigitta Croce was born on the eve of July 3rd at 11:04 PM. Looking back, Angelina believes that her birth was an insignificant event in her life - yes, vital to her existence, but not worth mentioning considering her rather problematic family life.
Marianna Croce was five years old when Angelina was born, and the two were practically attached at the hip. Angelina and Marianna were significantly closer with each other than either of them were with their parents. Angelina grew up with her maternal half-siblings as well, and while she didn't have horrible relationships with Lukas and Reyna Castellano, eight and seven years older than her respectively, Angelina wasn't as fond of them as she was of Marianna. After all, although Lukas was affectionate, he didn't go the extra mile, and Reyna, being the supremely talented child who was a genius is literally everything, was rather aloof and detached from family, despite her charming facade.
It all crumbled when Angelina turned eight, however. Her youngest sister, Esmeralda Kestrel Croce, better known simply as Kestrel, was a newborn when Angelina's parents had a fight. Sonje Hummel left, and she never stepped foot in the house again. By then, Reyna was fifteen and already in college, never looking back. Lukas was a junior in high school and hung out with his friends more than he did with his family, and Marianna Croce was left defending her two younger sisters alone.
The situation grew desperate when the patriarch of the Croce family got laid off when Angelina was eleven. Although the family did get support from the government, Angelina's father had extreme difficulty finding a job. Even though it wasn't necessary for the Croce family's survival, Marianna felt like she needed to earn more money for her family - and to give her two sisters a kinder life.
Angelina was angry when she found out what Marianna was doing. While her family's financial life hit rock-bottom, Angelina had her friends to support her, and adamantly told her sister to stop. Sixteen-year-old Marianna Croce said that their family needed it, and Angelina spent the night screaming at her sister like there was no tomorrow.
Things got better when Angelina was twelve, almost thirteen. Her father got a good job and remarried to Stephanie Blažek, a woman with a steady income and two daughters, along with a son who was in college. Marianna gladly stopped selling herself and returned to her normal life.
But alas, things were too good to be true. Autumn's uncle was a relentless client of Marianna's, and would not allow her to slip out of his grasp. He did not want her just for prostitution; there were other uses for Marianna as well. When Angelina followed her older sister and figured out about this, she was undeniably angry. But she was still Angelina Croce, and even at thirteen years old, she knew how to keep a cool head.
Marianna could not do anything about her situation - her hands were tied. So Angelina handled Marianna's situation for her, behind her older sister's back. Angelina spent two months devising a complex plan, her mind set on murdering Autumn's uncle and tying up all loose ends. Angelina had never been very fond of Autumn, and had no qualms about taking the life of her friend's uncle.
In the end, Angelina's plan worked without a hitch. Only two people alive on the Earth know about what she had done - Angelina herself, and her cunning maternal half-sister, Reyna Castellano. Reyna was already rising in the CIA ranks for a very good reason, after all, so Angelina wasn't very surprised when Reyna found out. Her maternal half-sister did nothing to rat her out, though. Angelina was very lucky that Reyna considered the murder of Autumn's uncle mundane and not worth the time of anybody important.
It might have been the fact that Angelina had murdered Autumn's uncle, but Lina wasn't very surprised when she heard of Autumn's death. However, when the police were searching for potential suspects, her senses heightened; if anyone figured out about what Angelina had done, then she was dead meat.
Self-Defense/Combat || Although Angelina was never the avid athlete, one of the hobbies she had adamantly stuck with since a young age was martial arts. Angelina mainly specializes in hand-to-hand, and knows how to handle herself in a real-life situation. Angelina isn't that skilled with most weapons, but her familiarization with guns is something no one knows about besides herself.
Language Fluency || Angelina is fluent in English, Italian, and Hebrew, and is conversational in German and Russian.
Science || Angelina has always been a straight-A student, but science is definitely her strongest subject. She has notable skill in chemistry and human anatomy.
W E A K N E S S E S
Charisma || Angelina was never that cliche foul-tempered character you would always see in anime. However, due to her rather blunt and somewhat abrasive personality, Angelina is not the most charismatic.
Abrasive || Angelina is more than a little rough around the edges. She has good intentions, but her abrasive personality usually leaves people stammering and not wanting to do anything with her.
Art || It's a lie to say that Angelina is completely deprived of creativity - she can think outside the box. However, she lacks artistic creativity, and a general artistic skill.
