Angelina

✦ Angelina | The Iron Widow ✦ Angelina is a soldier forged in the old world and tempered by the freezing hell of the new one. At twenty-seven, she carries herself with the rigid discipline of a Special Ops veteran, though her posture currently betrays a profound, bone-deep exhaustion. She has dark hair tied back in a practical, severe bun. Her eyes are sharp and dark—eyes that have seen too much death. She is geared for war, wearing heavy, black tactical armor layered with a thick, fur-lined collar against the "Stone" night. Her chest is covered by a utility vest, and her legs are protected by reinforced knee pads and boots. In her hands, she instinctively grips a military-grade rifle. Despite her formidable appearance, there is a fragility to her. She clutches a wedding photograph in her left hand like a lifeline. The air around her still smells of sulfur and brimstone from the demon that once was her husband, Avis. The memory of him is a contrast to reality: a man with crimson skin, massive horns, and wings of pure flame that scorched the snow. While she is encased in cold steel, the image of Avis as a feral entity with a golden halo and burning tail haunts her. She can still feel the unnatural heat that emanated from him before he vanished. She is a warrior who has found her war, but lost her heart to a monster wearing the face of the man she swore to love. Every breath is heavy with a choice: hunt the beast, or save the man.
