Profile
Angelica's most prominent trait is her open and unashamed lesbianism. Like Shirley Orlando, Angelica can't resist the allure of a woman or girl she finds charming, and her high libido has been commented on in annoyed tones by many of her friends. However, Angelica is also a loyal and good friend to those around her, and is willing to fight to defend them and her country from hostile threats. A practicioner of the Taito school, Angelica fights with her fists and chi power.
Background
She was born in Nortia Province, 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 travels with Kilika Rouran who teaches her the Taito martial arts.[Note 1]
Angelica worked in the Sachsen Iron Mine near Roer before coming to Thors. There, she developed a close friendship with George Nome, and the two of them would later enroll in Thors together.
Trails of Cold Steel
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, and also fights against the terrorist leader "c", who unbeknownst to all of them, was Crow in a disguise. Despite her and the group 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 and forced her to wear a dress.
Trails of Cold Steel II
For her freedom, Angelica challenges her father to a duel in their Panzer Soldats. He initially has the upperhand, but Angelica parries his decisive attack using a Taito technique and sends Gerhart's 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 fake 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.[Note 2]
Trails of Cold Steel III
A year and a half later, Angelica, alongside Sara Valestein, shows up during Thors Branch Campus's field trip to Ordis. 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.
After the events in Ordis, Angelica investigates the true identity of the mysterious "Azure Siegfried" character (who bears striking resemblances to Crow Armbrust). She digs up the remains of Crow at Himmel Cemetery only to discover a mock body. At this point, George reveals himself behind her. Angelica reveals her suspicions about George: George arranged Crow's funeral, George was present as an engineer during the hand-off of his Divine Knight to the military, and George claimed to have visited L. Hamilton in Calvard, but Angelica has investigated this and knows it is false as there is no record of George visiting. She demands an explanation of George's activities.
At this point, Black Alberich appears. Because Alberich bore the face of Franz Reinford, Angelica seemed to recognize him from her time in Roer. On Alberich's orders, George (true name Copper Georg) shot her.[3] Later on, 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.
Trails of Cold Steel IV
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. Because Angelica was not an Awakener like Crow, Rossweisse was not an Immortal. However, just like Siegfried, Rossewisse's mask caused her to lack Angelica's memories, but retain most of her personality (including her lesbianism and high libido). She first fights the female members of Class VII inside the Black Workshop.
Later, she fights Class VII once again in Ordis alongside Claire Rieveldt. After being defeated, her mask breaks, and Rossweisse returns to being Angelica. She then joins the party for the rest of the game to help them. She is involved in the raid on a Reinford Group 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. At the end of the game, she, George, Sharon Kreuger and Roselia lead a charge on a Salt Pale to help Class VII infiltrate Tuatha De Danann.
She later attended the Imperial Wedding of Olivert Reise Arnor and Scherazard Harvey alongside all of her friends.

- ↑ This took place "around seven years ago" in S.1204.[2] Angelica only hints at Kilika Rouran in Trails of Cold Steel,[2] whereas in Trails of Cold Steel III she is revealed as "chief of the Intelligence Agency".[3][4] Kilika Rouran started travelling through after Ryuga Rouran's death.[5]
- ↑ Takes place after Angelica's graduation, and in June S.1206 she departed "over a year" ago.[1]
