Angelica Rogner

Angelica Rogner (アンゼリカ・ログナー) is introduced as the daughter of Marquis Gerhart Rogner, a student at Thors Military Academy's Class I, and a member of the ARCUS test team alongside Crow Armbrust, George Nome, and Towa Herschel.

Appearance
Angelica is a young woman with short violet hair and turquoise eyes. In accordance to her rebellious character, Angelica always stands out, wearing full black leather clothing instead of the regular Thors white uniform for nobles.

After her graduation before, she extended her hair into a ponytail with a large white belt and black thigh boots. Her appearance appears to be a mixed blend of formal and informal fashion where she wears a pink shirt and navy scarf over her biker's outfit.

Personality
Angelica is openly affectionate towards women and often shocks classmates with her forwardness, never missing a chance to make passes at attractive young women. Despite her rakish demeanor, Angelica is a steadfast friend to Class VII, always being there when she is needed. A thoroughbred aristocrat by birth, Angelica stands as a noble in both character and position, but she is also quite headstrong and firm about expressing herself on her terms. This attitude cause her father Marquis Rogner a great amount of irritation; whether it be her flirty attitude or her choice of attire, everything Angelica does seems to directly oppose the image of a proper noble. Despite her father becoming one of the Noble Alliance's supporters during the October War, she still respects him for adhering to the code that he taught her: "a true Erebonian noble must always stand on their own two feet". These words motivate her to pursue her on path in life as much as, if not more than, her own free spirit.

Background
She was born in the Nortia Province of Erebonia in S.1185. She is the daughter of Marquis Gerhart Rogner, leader of one of the Four Great Houses of Erebonia. In S.1197, she traveled with Kilika Rouran, who taught her Taito.

Angelica worked in the Sachsen Iron Mine near Roer before coming to Thors. She had disguised himself as a young man and worked harder compared to the other miners, which made her well respected by her fellow miners, and they were surprised when they found out about her true identity. There, she developed a close friendship with George Nome, and the two of them would later enroll in Thors together.

Angelica enrolled at Thors Military Academy one year before Class VII did. By the time Class VII enrolled, she and her group of friends (George, Towa and Crow) were now second-years who acted as good and encouraging friends to their underclassmen. Angelica is shown to love orbal bikes, and wears her leather biker outfit for nearly all of the game. She is also fond of cute girls, leading her to gather a harem both within the walls of the academy as well as outside them (Crow at one point expresses frustration at how Angelica stole all his girlfriends from him). At one point, she requested a one-on-one battle with Rean Schwarzer in the gym to see if her Taito skills matched up to Rean's Eight Leaves One Blade school.

She tags along during Group A's sixth field study trip to Roer. There, she fights alongside them at the Sachsen Iron Mine, fighting against the terrorist leader "C", who unbeknownst to all of them was Crow in a disguise. Despite successfully resolving the terrorist threat, her actions greatly upset her father, who forced her to leave Thors. He agreed to let her visit the academy festival in order to meet a few prospective candidates for an arranged marriage proposal, forced her to wear a dress and act ladylike, much to her disdain.

Refusing to give in to her father's request, Angelica learned of her father and uncle's support of the Noble Alliance. She ended up arguing with her father before running off, using what he had forcefully had her learn to disguise herself as a nun. Disgusted with her family's actions, she resolved to oppose them, gathering a few supporters in the process. Class VII came to Roer upon learning of her status. She helped them save Irina before going off to confront her father at the Schwarz Drache Barrier, using a Spiegel unit provided by her followers.

Gerhart initially has the upper hand, but Angelica parries his decisive attack using a Taito technique and sends his Hector flying. She reminds him of a lesson he himself taught her, "true Erebonian nobles must always be able to stand on their two feet", and Gerhart admits defeat. Angelica then joins the party where she works as a crew member aboard the Courageous. Rean makes a promise to her, Towa and George to bring back Crow and make him graduate with his friends - unfortunately, Rean wasn't able to make this promise and Crow died at the end of the war, much to everyone's sadness.

Rean can call on her to help during Class VII's final day at school together when they and their allies conquer the Reverie Corridor. She later graduated in the spring of S.1205. Afterwards, she went on a trip throughout Zemuria.

A year and a half later, Angelica, alongside Sara Valestein, shows up during Thors Branch Campus's field trip to Ordis under the alias of the Iron Horseman (鉄馬のシュバリエ). She is there to attend the Provincial Council among the Four Great Houses. During her downtime, she helps out Rean Schwarzer, Towa Herschel, and their students at Thors Branch Campus, while continuing to hunt for beautiful girls and women.

When "Azure Siegfried" left Ordis alongside Zephyr, he passed by Angelica, leaving her speechless as she realized that he looked nearly identical to Crow. After electing Mildine as the successor to House Cayenne, Angelica went to Himmel Cemetery and exhumed Crow's grave, discovering a mock body. At this point, George reveals himself behind her. Angelica reveals her suspicions about George: he arranged Crow's funeral, he was present as an engineer during the hand-off of his Divine Knight to the military, and that his claims to have visited L. Hamilton in Calvard was false. She demands an explanation of his activities.

At this point, Black Alberich appeared. Because Alberich had inhabited Franz's body, Angelica seemed to recognize him from her time in Roer. On Alberich's orders, George (true name Copper Georg) shot her. Upon finding Angelica's brooch near Crow's fake grave, Class VII surmised her to be missing, and took note of the grave being empty. Later, outside the Gral of Erebos, George told Towa that Angie was dead to prove to her that he was no longer her friend.

It turned out that George deliberately missed vital parts of her body to avoid killing her. After she lost consciousness, George placed a mask similar to Siegfried's on her face; just as that mark turned Crow into Siegfried, this mark turned Angelica into a brainwashed hitwoman named Red Rossweisse (紅のロスヴァイセ). Because Angelica was not an Awakener like Crow, Rossweisse was not an Immortal. However, just like Siegfried, Rosseweisse's mask caused her to lack Angelica's memories, but retained most of her personality (including her lesbianism and high libido). She first fights the female members of Class VII inside the Black Workshop.

She later observes Class VII's arrival at Ordis and fights alongside Claire Rieveldt to prevent them from taking Priscilla and Towa. After being defeated, her mask breaks, and Rossweisse returns to being Angelica with Towa's help, and joins the party to help them.

Upon arriving at the Pantagruel, Angelica is mesmerized with all the beautiful girls and women onboard, tightly hugging Tita, Renne, and KeA in one instance.

Angelica is involved in the raid on a Gargantua-class airship wherein she defeats George and interrupts his attempted suicide post-defeat, allowing him to rejoin the party to atone for his sins, forgiving him.

The day before the Great War, Angelica met up with her friends at Mishelam Wonderland, where she was scolded by Towa for not informing her about George's suspicious activities in the events of the previous game. The following day, she, George, Sharon Kreuger and Roselia lead a charge on a Salt Pale to help Class VII infiltrate Tuatha De Danann when the war started.

She later attended the Imperial Wedding of Olivert Reise Arnor and Scherazard Harvey alongside all of her friends.

Angelica holds a reunion for the upperclassmen from Thors. She takes notes of the girls wearing kimonos and has a chance to catch up with Towa about her plans for the future. She mentions that she has been helping her father with dealing with the nobility's future as well. They reminisce about their old school days before Angelica affirms her support for anything Towa does in the future.

Angelica plays a very small role in the main story, only showing up for the final battle against Elysium and Reverse Babel alongside George Nome.
