Character history

Some years before the Horde occupation of Etheria, Angella and Micah, King and Queen of Bright Moon had a child they named Glimmer. They lived in peace for many years and then the Horde arrived. Micah left his wife and daughter so he could fight them. Angella and Glimmer were left to fend for themselves.cite web|title=Micah of Bright Moon|url=http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/episode_reviews/review.php?episodeNumber=PP046|publisher=He-Man.org|accessdate=2006-12-12] The Horde captured Bright Moon, when Angella went missing during battle. During Angella's absence Glimmer forms a Rebellion, hoping one day to see her parents again and rid Bright Moon of The Horde. It is only years later, when She-Ra and He-Man release Angella from a spell she is under that she is reunited with her daughter. [cite web|url=http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/episode_reviews/review.php?episodeNumber=PP004|title=Reunions|publisher=He-Man.org|accessdate=2006-12-12] It is not until much later that she is reunited with her husband. It appears that although Angella has magical abilities, Micah is a mortal.

Powers and abilities

Angella was bestowed with the Moonstone, a gift from her ancestors, to power Castle Bright Moon. [cite web|url=http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/episode_reviews/review.php?episodeNumber=PP041|title=Glimmer's Story|publisher=He-Man.org|accessdate=2006-12-12] It appears that this may be the source of her powers and enables her to use her wings to fly. Away from Bright Moon, Angella's power seems to decrease over time, a disadvantage that does not affect her daughter Glimmer. Her powers also seem to be affected by the position of Etheria's moons, [cite web|url=http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/episode_reviews/review.php?episodeNumber=PP022|title=The Crystal Castle|publisher=He-Man.org|accessdate=2006-12-12] as she is extremely weakened during a lunar eclipse induced by Shadow Weaver, but once it ends, she is instantly restored to full strength. Despite this weakness, aside from She-Ra she is regarded as the most powerful of the Rebel leaders. When at her full strength, she is more than a match for the Horde alone. Angella at her most powerful has, like her daughter, the ability to fly and fire photonic energy from her hands, which can stun or disable her opponents as well as blinding light. She is capable of erecting nearly impenetrable force fields. By bathing herself in her own light, she can instantly heal any injuries she has sustained and even regenerate torn clothing or armor. A power unique to Angella is the power to temporarily open portals to other worlds, [cite web|url=http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/episode_reviews/review.php?episodeNumber=PP024|title=The Mines of Mondor|publisher=He-Man.org|accessdate=2006-12-12] which indicates that her power is superior to that of her daughter. Angella can also utilize various magical abilities; such as the ability to counteract powerful spells, draw mystical energy from other beings to utilize herself, etc; and also appears far more skilled and experienced in their use than does her daughter.
