-THEM-
Character name: Ange Ushiromiya
Series: Umineko no Naku Koro Ni
Character history: http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/Ange_Ushiromiya
Character personality:
Ange's personality has to be derived from what would have been -- because a large part of Ange's entire life is shaped by the tragic murder of her family that happened when she was six. Ange is extremely bright: she loves mysteries and riddles, even from a young age; she is remarkably talented at riddling out the solutions to quizzes and trick questions. While sometimes she can get way too focused on one task and be tricked while she's not paying attention (which is something that carries over after the events of Rokkenjima), she's extremely quick to snap back from a defeat and has a remarkable sense of awareness when she's not obsessing over one particular thing.
Ange's personality is warped and twisted by the massacre of her family -- and so her love of puzzles and cheerful, sassy childhood personality fades into the background a little bit. Ange as she is now is obsessive: she's completely entrenched in finding out the secret to her parents' death, especially the death of her older brother, who she is still devotedly attached to, even if he's dead. Because of her family's murder, she detaches from reality: Ange of the present is a cold, sarcastic girl who uses her vengeance as a tool to get what she wants. She's not afraid to take risks -- she jumps off of a building in canon to get to the truth, and faces down gunman with only a single plan to believe in. Ange is extremely good at logic puzzles, helping her brother with his witches' game. She's also really good at picking out fact from fiction and seeing through lies that are presented to her as truth -- she's quick to deny anything that doesn't make logical sense to her, and facts have to have a scientific basis to be believed. Her basic motto is: you can't trust anything unless it has a logical and real backing in something solid. She's a skeptic and sullen, refusing to give in to fate and just sit down in her unhappiness.
Of course, the truth behind this obsessive, sarcastic behavior is that it's not actually what it seems. Because at the heart of it, Ange is just a hurt, scared little girl who misses her parents. It's her loneliness that drives her into bitterness and melancholy, because everyone she ever loved in the world disappeared in one traumatic day. And it's her loneliness that drives her to both believe that her parents might come back for her some day, and also to reject that notion and believe that by learning the Single Truth of that day, she might finally get some rest. But her bitterness, especially towards her aunt, prevents her from being able to accept that reality. Because for Ange, who draws her own conclusions and makes her own truth, there is nothing more important than relieving herself of this awful, lonely burden that's followed her through her entire life. She just wants to be loved by her family again, to love someone again -- and this yearning twists her cheerful, intelligent personality into someone sarcastic and bitter, and makes her loneliness into a weapon that will eventually crush her too. Because who wants to live in the present when your whole family, and everything you loved, died in the past?

Journal entry sample:
[ Hmph. The video opens with a slightly frowning girl staring directly at the camera. She is definitely new, judging by her confused and annoyed expression; her eyes glance to the side. ]
........I can't believe this. Fictional. Tch... [ she grimaces. ] All of my memories are fictional. A character in a story book.
Who really believes the lies they're spewing? I remember being real. I'm not letting it be true. [ The way she says it, it's like she believes there's some power behind those words. ] That truth won't exist for me. I can't accept it.
[ ....ah, introductions. Another frown. ]
My name is Ushiromiya Ange. I'm not happy to be here, but.....whoever you are. I look forward to meeting everyone else who's stuck here.
[ . . . ] ...Where do I find books around here? Is there some sort of library?
[ Because at least, if she's stuck, she can get some reading material. ]
