** Angela is a ''fallen'' angel.
** Angela wears makeup and figure-enhancing undergarments, plus anti-aging creams.

** She doesn't really ''need'' those things, just uses them as part of TheMasquerade.
*** Alternatively, she is ''excellent'' at applying makeup and choosing flattering clothes to enhance her looks.
