[CLASSIFIED - Angelica was genetically modified when she was an infant. Her mother was nearly assassinated while pregnant with her and her sister, but all three were severely wounded. Admiral Ryder's sources within Section 31 allowed him to bypass the Federation genetic modification rules due to his own genetically modified status - done against his will (but this isn't about him ) Angel has enhanced agility, vision, and some mental enhancements. She tries to hide her ability but can sometimes be caught doing multiple things at once)

Can be a bit of a "brainiac"/bookworm and while she doesn't lord her knowledge over people, can come off as a bit of a show off.

(translation: gentlemen watch your family jewels)

History:
Angel grew up on Starbases, Starships and Starfleet HQ, surrounded by officers, ambassadors and admiralty she dreamt of the day she could take her place among them. Ever since she was old enough to hold a padd, she was a "daddy's girl" helping him whenever she could until she was old enough to go to Starfleet Academy. She majored in Engineering and Command with a minor in xeno-linquistics. Under her mentor Admiral Sandoval's tutelage, she finished most of her courses virtually and was promoted to Ensign. Finishing up her course work and training on the Erebus.

After her formal graduation she took a post as an engineering intern on one of the ships her father was working on as test bed for new technologies. After the test bed was de-comm'd she transferred to the USS Tigris and served as an Operations officer. The Tigris was mostly destroyed after a major battle and she was moved to its new sister ship the Solidarity where she served as Chief of Operations.

During the Borg War she served as a Second Officer and a command officer trainee on the USS MacLeod, after the war and during all the incidents that followed she served with distinction, including being awarded a purple heart for being captured and severely injured in the line of duty. During her recovery, she spent time performing for other wounded officers under the name Angel Lei (her mother's maiden name) for the Federation USO.

Section 31 recruited her on recommendation by her father, a long time double operative for S31 and Starfleet Intel. Her mother is a special agent for S31 and the Federation Secret Service. As she spent nearly two years out of active service, she took a temporary demotion which allowed her to spend a few months getting to know the ropes of her new role as a double operative.

For nearly 3 years Angelica served aboard the USS Mata Hari, going from Operations Chief, to Second Officer, to XO, even acting as temporary Commander during a few missions. Her service aboard the Mata Hari came to an end when the ship was officially decommissioned following a number of intense battles and the Galaxy Class ship being retired. She was then offered the XO position aboard Outpost Byron when her father tapped Angel's former XO, Captain Aurore Ramsden to be it's CO. When Captain Ramsden was lost in a temporal rift, with Angel's sister in law Kirby Newstead, brother in law Ethan Riddick, her fiance Ben Devereaux and her father's lover Captain Lothar - Angel was promoted to Commanding Officer. Eventually the small Outpost was upgraded to a full Olympus Class starbase - utilizing parts originally
