ANGELA COLE
Female Human Tough 1
Background:
After finishing high school, Angela spent a few years going from job to job, trying out college and technical school, and wandering from one region of the USA to another before she finally decided to join the Army and become a pilot. Once she had made this decision, she became completely committed. As a result of changes in military policy concerning women in combat, she was one of the first female helicopter pilots to fly soldiers into combat zones in Afghanistan and, more recently, Iraq. During this time she gained recognition for her willingness to fly into any combat zone, no matter how intense, and for her ability to deliver or retrieve ground forces safely in spite of the intensity of fighting.
Angela is completely unaware of the Shadow, although she is a bit superstitious and does believe in a few things supernatural. All she knows about her new role in Department 7 is that someone from somewhere up high in the chain of command was looking for a pilot and driver with guts, dedication, and resilience, and her name somehow ended up at the top of the list. At the moment, the relationship between the military and Department 7 remains somewhat vague to her. She's not even sure what the heck Department 7 is.
Appearance:
Angela is not the kind of woman who stands out in a crowd; she is somewhat attractive, but by no means is she model-caliber. Although she possesses a very well-toned athletic figure, she tends to disguise it with the way she dresses, and she rarely uses any makeup at all. Her "averageness" is completed by her short brown hair, brown eyes, and a few freckles (some guys used to find the freckles a turn-on ten years ago, when she was rather baby-faced, but Angela thinks of that as the distant past).
When out of uniform--which will likely be most of the time, now that she has been brought in by Dept. 7--Angela prefers to wear slightly loose-fitting jeans and a t-shirt, or perhaps a sweatshirt and sweatpants. She tends to dress in earth tones or dark blue. She wears jogging shoes, walking shoes, or boots; she prays her new assignment doesn't involve high heels in any capacity.
Attitudes/Beliefs/Allegiances:
In spite of her progressive views on women in the military, Angela leans a bit right-of-the-middle in politics. Though she no longer claims to be of any particular denomination, her Christian upbringing still influences her ideas about many things. She is very patriotic (to a fault at times), but a bit contemptuous of some Marines she has served with in the past who thought they were better than she because she's "merely" Army. Above all, she believes in doing what is morally right, but she also places a great deal of importance on following the law and supporting the country.
