“ | Take care of each other.
— Angella's last words, spoken to Adora, before sacrificing herself for the Rebellion.
|
” |
Queen Angella was the queen of Bright Moon and a former leader of The Rebellion in both incarnations of the Alliance. She was a lovingly coddling wife to King Micah and mother of Glimmer. A supporting character in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, she appeared as a mentor to the rebooted Rebellion and showing acts of responsibility but through restraint, and only deliberative plans limited to only defense.
In Season Three, Angella sacrificed herself in order to retrieve the Sword of Protection which was powering Hordak's portal—an act that prevented reality from collapsing—but in doing so, she was trapped between dimensions.
Description[]
Introduced to the series as an overlooking authority figure to Glimmer, as the Queen of Bright Moon, and as the former leader of the Princess Alliance, Angella was no person to laugh at. With origins unknown, she eventually became the wife of King Micah and the mother of the previously Princess Glimmer. The belief that her husband had died is referenced several times within the series, as a cause of her being uptight and vigilant. It is noted that they led the previous incarnation of the Rebellion together, and she usually rejected her daughter's suggestions to reboot it, out of guilt from causing her husband's death in battle.
When Glimmer brought back Adora and the sword, she was hesitant in trusting Adora with her daughter, knowing that they had similar interests which Angella herself disagreed with. She ended up confiding in her, but noted that she only trusted her for Glimmer's sake. It was clear that bringing She-Ra would be a bigger reason to bring back the Rebellion, and she gradually went from restraining to empowering as a force to the Rebellion playing offence in the war. Throughout the fights, she acts to console and bring advice to the members of the Princess Alliance's reboot.
In following episodes, Queen Angella was motivated by the encouragement of Adora, and felt that she had wasted too much time with guilt and not enough time being brave. With this in mind, she sacrificed herself in the season finale of Season three in front of her.
During the Battle of Bright Moon, she defended the castle and the Moonstone, attacked by Horde bots, and she strengthened the Moonstone when it came under direct assault. The battle ended in celebration and she built a stronger relationship with the Rebellion, feeling as though they were a team at last.
Furthermore, Queen Angella appeared in the form of a holographic message to Glimmer, Bow and Adora in "The Coronation". Although Glimmer and Angella had arguments due to personality clashes, they still loved each other dearly and it becomes apparent when Glimmer is forced to rise to the rank of Queen of Bright Moon in order to take her mother's place. Her influence caused Glimmer to fight and make her sacrifice meaningful.
Angella's sacrifice to save Etheria either left her trapped between dimensions forever, or killed her.
Appearance[]
Angella bears flowing, dual-toned hair of both pink and purple in shimmering pale hues to her lofty stature. Her skin tone was also a tint of light purple. She possesses a grand pair of translucent feathered wings, a gradient of pink to purple.
Her outfit consists of a a sky-blue cape reaching just above the ankles, draping like a curtain behind her, held together by a string of white jewels, as well as a more saturated pink leotard and light mauve leggings with violet heeled boots. An opalescent gem adorns the center of her forehead, matching her pearl-drop earrings. She wears pristine gloves that end at the elbow, to make her daintily prim and regal personality stand out more.
In a temporary alternative universe, she sported a short skirt.
Personality[]
As the leader of the Rebellion, Angella was very austere and focused. Often, due to her high responsibility, she appears somewhat standoffish and detached, conservative in her decisions. However, she was extremely protective and devoted to her daughter, Glimmer, who both support each other after Micah's presumed death. She can be lofty and precise, [5] because she likes for things to be neat and organized. She was very dedicated to her work in protecting her citizens, so much so that she refuses to do more than defend and actually fight back, in risk of imperiling those she cares for. This is caused by the war and the effects of it, such as Micah's presumed death.
She does not trust others easily, specifically Horde soldiers due to her conflict with them, as shown through her meeting Adora for the first time, as well as her reluctance to try and recruit the other princesses.
“ | Do you want to know a secret? I am a coward. I've always been the queen who stays behind. Micah was the brave one. And then Glimmer. Oh, Glimmer, so much like her father. Once again, I stayed behind, letting her make the hard choices. Letting her be brave for me. I told myself I was being responsible. But Adora, I was just scared. And then, I met you. You inspired us. You inspired me. Not because it was your destiny, but because you never let fear stop you. And now, I choose to be brave.
— Angella, recognizing her faults to Adora
|
” |
During the final episode of the Season Three, Angella admits to too much holding back; to stepping aside and being a background shadow when it was important to take action. When Hordak's portal threatened their reality, Angella attempts to compensate for this mistake by retrieving the sword in order to set reality back to normal, showing her development and will to change through an act of courage. Her "coward[ice]" conveys that she was acknowledging her being the act of being only worth whatever her fear allowed her to become. Positioned by power but too haunted by her past mistakes to utilize them, her actions as queen contradict Glimmer's who was only driven to an excess of forceful offence by her past mistakes. After all, Glimmer is just like her father and look what happened to him.
Details matter to her, and she was quite a perfectionist. Angella was firm in her ideals and beliefs, coming off as somewhat arrogant, and often refused those of Glimmer's due to their contradiction in nature. However, Angella let Glimmer reboot the Alliance and slowly loosened up throughout the series. She was very supportive of her daughter, despite their conflict, and encourages her, showing that she can be open-minded.
Angella tried to make the best of her fear by "telling myself I was being responsible." She finally let go and was able to, in spirit, free herself by physically doing the opposite. In the end, her work was worth it.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Moonstone connection: Like Glimmer, Angella was connected to The Moonstone, the Runestone located in Bright Moon which granted her a wide variety of powers, many of which revolve around light. When Glimmer was born, the Moonstone divided equal power amongst them.
- Photokinesis: Angella could manipulate light at will.
- Photokinetic Blasts: Angella could fire powerful beams of white light. This appears to be a more powerful version of Glimmer's ability to launch balls of sparkles.
- Photokinetic Shields: Angella could envelop herself in a white shield or light, shown during the Battle of Bright Moon when she protected the entire Moonstone in light that refracted forces attacking what was within it. She could also send light signals as a call for help.
- Flight: Angella was able to fly using her wings, a large pair attached to her back. The shape of her wings is slightly inconsistent; in some shots, her wings are short and wide, seen on birds that fly with sustained high speed. In other shots, her wings are significantly longer, with a shape more suited for soaring over water and hot currents of air.
- Photokinesis: Angella could manipulate light at will.
- Immortality: According to Glimmer and Castaspella, Angella was immortal. This meant she was incapable of dying due to old age, and thus could have presumably lived for an indefinite amount of time. Glimmer once vented that Angella would "always be there," to her, as a sentiment.
Relationships[]
Glimmer[]
Glimmer is Angella's only child, and sole remaining member of her immediate family. While Angella was typically austere with her daughter, admonishing her for her often reckless and rash behavior, she also cares greatly for her, and won't hesitate to support Glimmer when she feels it's needed.
Glimmer's personality, motives, and underlying arc parallels, to Angella, parallel that of Micah's. Micah was an adult and a master sorcerer. Angella thought that if he could die, the chances for a child only partly connected to magic were far riskier. Angella would much rather have a living daughter and failing Rebellion than a successful Rebellion with a chance of what presumably happened to her father.
Glimmer, to Angella, is a reincarnation of what Micah represented. She mirrors him so much it's painfully valuable. To make the mistake once is bad enough, but knowing where it led you last time but potentially ruining her second chance just seemed imprudent. How does she know she can trust that it won’t happen again? Micah had hope and look what happened to him.
When Entrapta was lost during the mission to save Glimmer, the first big loss since the Rebellion first rebooted, Angella was the first one there to comfort Glimmer and encourage the Rebellion to rise again, even after the fear and burden of the lack of Micah and everything that meant. The Revellion had instigated the mission to save Glimmer, and the team believed that Entrapta had died as a result, leading Glimmer to immense guilt. Adora was tired. Even Bow glanced aside. But in that moment it was Angella--Angella the self-acclaimed coward--who pushed things along.
Their relationship was a bit strained, especially following the presumed death of King Micah, as Angella was quick to punish Glimmer over small things. Their relationship was tested further with the ongoing war, with Glimmer admitting disdain in "The Sword: Part 2" at how her mother locked herself and Glimmer away following the falling out of the original Princess Alliance. It has been shown that it was rather easy for Glimmer to get a rise out of her mother, exemplified by "The Sword: Part 1," where a calm and collected Angella quickly lost her temper and sent Glimmer to her room for interrupting a meeting. Despite this, as Season One progresses, their relationship does as well, shown in The Battle of Bright Moon, when a proud and approving Angella gives Glimmer her father's staff. They were in the middle of a battle--but even in precarious situations as such, Angella thought out her decisions. She knew what she was in for.
Angella made attempts to talk with Glimmer, but Glimmer feels that she is too up in her business. Glimmer writes, "dear mom... I feel like you don't respect me." [6] She never sends the letter.
Everything Angella did was to make sure that Glimmer wouldn't become the next Micah, and yet in the end she not only tolerated Glimmer's theft of weapons but gave her her father's staff. Her father’s staff was an emblem of the power and trust that he was given. Angella, after seeing Glimmer succeed so much, was at last able to see that she deserved the same amount. And due to that, she entrusted it with Glimmer. It was also a sign she knew what was to come. She wanted to be prepared. She knew she couldn’t last forever, she wanted to plant seeds in Glimmer’s head and leave behind wisdoms that would last if not forever, at least beyond her sacrifice. She wanted to make it clear that she loved and trusted Glimmer. Every fierce part of Glimmer.
In Season Two, Angella was shown to trust Glimmer much more, allowing her to speak more freely at war council hearings and paying attention to her ideas. However, it has always been implied that Angella believed in Glimmer, and she just didn't want to see her hurt. Specifically, she appointed Glimmer as a general, even if she did not allow her to see combat due to her naivety. In Season Three, she was shown to work on her strictness more, having conversations with Glimmer about why she is grounding her instead of just sending her away. Glimmer didn't want her to see her weakness, and tried to hide the jolts of pain she received after being trapped in the Horde. When Glimmer attempts to conceal this, Angella is confused and says "I just wanted to talk." Angella is thoughtful about Glimmer and has the kitchen prepare her favorite food.
Likewise, in Grounded Glimmer Jailbreak, Glimmer admitted to a worried Adora who attempted to free her from her 'grounding' that she was not being tortured, rather, she was enjoying her time with her mother. She then goes on to mention that the war has strained their personal time together, another nod at the war furthering their relationship. Glimmer was seen crying upon hearing about Angella’s sacrifice, although she accepted it, happy to know that her mother's still watching over her and protecting Etheria. Glimmer was so impacted by her mother's sacrifice that she insisted on the most damaging amount of actions possible, to damage the Horde, even if it means to demolish them beyond what is questionably moral.
Micah[]
It was never revealed how the two met, became friends, and fell in love. Despite having wildly different personalities, or perhaps because so, King Micah was Angella's husband and co-regent, and they once ruled over Bright Moon together. He was not only her love but also her inspiration, as it is referenced he represented hope for the Rebellion. When he supposedly passed, so did her perception of that hope. Angella loved Micah profoundly and was devastated by his presumed death. It appears as though she may never have completely gotten over his passing, especially from guilt of the fact that she ordered the battle in which he was captured. She deliberately said, "I've never forgiven myself." As a result, she showed much restraint in war after his passing and was constantly afraid of Glimmer being hurt or lost like her father. She often visited Micah's mural in the palace, when she "feels the cares of the day weighing upon" her. They were shown to love each other very much; in the fake and hypothetical alternative universe shown in the episode, "The Portal," they were living happily with Glimmer. At the end of The Portal, she shared a final moment with her husband, and says goodbye to him, before tearfully heading to Adora. As she flew away, she was unaware that Micah was trying to tell her he was still alive, having been cut off by the portal's anomaly catching up to him.
Bow[]
“ | I like that boy.
— Angella speaking fonly of Bow, in Razz (episode)
|
” |
Bow is a young ally of The Rebellion and best friend to Glimmer. As such, Angella thought highly of him. Their personalities didn't clash due to both of them being responsible and level headed, down-to-earth people. She was shown to appreciate his company, only asking him to leave her presence while disciplining Glimmer. In "Razz" Angella remarked fondly to Glimmer how she likes Bow.
Castaspella[]
Castaspella, the ruler of Mystacor, is Angella's sister-in-law by her marriage to King Micah, Castaspella's brother. The two appear to have had a somewhat strained relationship. This may be due to Castaspella being jealous over the fact that Angella is an angelic being, holding incredible power and having a connection to a Runestone, making her incredibly powerful in contrast to Castaspella, who, while comparing herself to Angella, calls herself a "common sorceress". It may also be resentment over Angella's role in Micah's presumed death. In Season Three, Castaspella and Angella team up to imprison and question Shadow Weaver, and to make plans to defend the alliance from the renewed Horde threat. Like Glimmer, Castaspella is heartbroken at her sister-in-law's sacrifice.
Adora[]
Their relationship started off initially rocky. Angella, as the leader of the Rebellion, naturally doesn't trust the former Horde soldier, a force that killed her husband, even after learning that she is She-Ra. Angella confides in Adora that she only trusts her for Glimmer's sake, specifically telling her in a somewhat threatening tone that she'd better not disappoint them. Glimmer had been wanting to push forth the Rebellion for a while,[7] and having a magical warrior princess would push that notion along. Their relationship becomes more negative when Adora unknowingly sits in King Micah's chair during a meeting, infuriating Angella immensely. However, even after her blunder, it's shown that Angella respected Adora's military background and combat prowess, as she trusted her enough to make plans and protect her daughter from attacks. Adora, being a perfectionist, somewhat mirrors Angella's disposition. Later, her trust was finally gained when Adora helped Glimmer and Bow rescue Plumeria from a Horde invasion.
Likewise, their relationship started to better as Angella becomes protective of and openly affectionate to Adora, seeing her like another daughter, wrapping her in a hug with her wings similar to how she had done Bow and Glimmer, in addition to telling Shadow Weaver that she put Adora through enough, showing that she cares for Adora's well-being. After this, it's acknowledged that Angella takes great pride in Adora, both as herself and as She-Ra. In the final episode of season three, before Adora falls to her doom as the ground crumbles away, Angella saved her. When Adora mentions that she has to sacrifice herself by pulling the sword free from the portal in order to save Etheria, Angella embraces her and tells the younger girl that that can't be her destiny. She then opened up to Adora by admitting her that she felt like a coward for always staying behind during the war, but that Adora inspired her to be brave. Before making the decision to sacrifice herself in order to save Adora and the rest of her kingdom, she kissed the younger girl's forehead, leaving, telling her to "take care of each other," referencing to Glimmer and her friends. She pulled the sword out, and vanished in a beam of light. Like Glimmer, Adora is heartbroken at Angella's loss. Having heard her last words and what they meant made Glimmer react differently to the situation than Adora, even eventually saying "maybe your best isn't enough. If it was, my mother would still be here," when Adora pointed out that everyone was doing their best.
The Rebellion[]
Angella was a part of the last generation's Princess Alliance, which failed miserably and left the members to protect their own kingdoms. Angella lost Micah in the process, or so she thought, and for this reason she was always subjective to restraint, for fear that she would lose more. At the beginning of Season One, Angella shows a strong belief that the Rebellion should retreat as soon as possible when the Horde attacks. This was displayed in Flowers for She-Ra when she insisted that they visit Plumeria only to deliver food and supplies so that they can get away, rather than to stay and try to fight. However, as the plot progresses, more princesses join the reboot of this alliance and the Rebellion beings to rise in success. Angella changes her mind and slowly lets the Rebellion have more battles. As a member of the Rebellion, she works with General Juliet, Netossa, and Spinerella.
She was shown to have mentor the Rebellion members on battle choices sometimes, however, she always stayed behind and rarely went directly on a mission. Even when Entrapta had supposedly perished in the Fright Zone, she believed in her daughter and said that the Rebellion would not fall apart with her daughter leading it. She's shown to be very protective of her citizens in Bright Moon and for this reason she held a deep trust in the forces of the new Rebellion for helping her.
The Horde[]
Angella's anger and woe has been directed at the Horde's actions rather than the Horde soldiers themselves. She took an immediate disliking to Adora because she was a Horde soldier. She thinks of the Horde as cruel for what they did to her Rebellion, and how that influenced her personally when she thought that they caused the death of her husband.
Plot[]
Past[]
It is assumed that Angella has lived her entire life on Bright Moon. She met and later married Micah and the two ruled as Queen and King. After Princess Glimmer was born, an enraged Angella ordered an assault on the Horde that Micah led. He was thought to have died in battle, causing the Princess Alliance to fall apart.
Season One[]
Angella accepts Commander Glimmer's report on the battle with the Horde at Elberon. She then berates the Commander for being too reckless during the confrontation. The Commander shoots back saying that the Queen never lets her do anything. The Queen then grounds the Commander for her impertinence. Glimmer and Bow search for First Ones' Tech, ignoring her grounding, after which Glimmer returns home, exhausted. Glimmer collapses into her mother's arms and Angella flies her daughter to The Moonstone so that she can recharge. Later, Angella welcomes Adora to Bright Moon after Commander Glimmer vouches for the ex-Horde soldier.
When Plumeria calls for aid after coming under a Horde attack, Angella sends She-Ra, Bow and Glimmer to deliver food and supplies. She then forbids the trio from fighting the enemy. After the heroes disobey the Queen's non-combat command Angella grounded Glimmer for a week, which is 3 weeks fewer than she normally does when Glimmer disobeys commands.
After the week passes, Queen Angella holds a war council to decide next moves. Princess Glimmer volunteers to go recruit Princess Mermista from Salineas. After some disagreement Angella agrees to send the trio, as long as they avoid violence. Later the Queen okays the trio recruiting Princess Entrapta, with no mention of any consequence for Glimmer's disobedience. She allows Glimmer and Bow to visit Mystacor, where her sister-in-law Castaspella lives. She also allows Glimmer to attend the Princess Prom.
When the Horde captures Glimmer and Bow at the Princess Prom, Queen Angella agrees with Hordak's prisoner swap, but before Angella can turn herself over to the Horde, the Princesses free Bow and Glimmer and return them home. When Angella tries to talk to Glimmer about the ordeal, Glimmer avoids her mother since she, Glimmer, is “glitching” after being tortured by Shadow Weaver.
During the Battle of Bright Moon the Queen defends the castle and the Moonstone, attacks Horde bots, and strengthens the Moonstone when it came under direct assault. She then celebrated once the battle was won.
Season Two[]
Angella sends patrols to retrieve a functioning Horde bot for Bow to study so that they could defeat them.
Season Three[]
Shadow Weaver stands menacingly over Adora's bed in Bright Moon, and when she reaches for her, Adora wakes up and draws her sword. Shadow Weaver then collapses at Adora's feet, exhausted. In response, Queen Angella doubles the perimeter guard and triples it around the Moonstone, attempting to ascertain how Shadow Weaver entered the castle and thus close the security vulnerability. Castaspella however, comments on how Angella's "dungeon" that holds Shadow Weaver was inadequate, and Angella admits that it's just a side room with some (but not all) of the cushions removed.
Adora, Glimmer, and Bow arrive, with Adora demanding to take part in the interrogation. Angella flatly refuses; however, citing safety concerns, and orders the trio not to go anywhere near Shadow Weaver. Angella and Castaspella enter the room, and Adora rages that she knows Shadow Weaver's tricks, although Glimmer tries to talk Adora down, agreeing with her mother for once that Shadow Weaver raised Adora and could potentially manipulate her. Within the "prison," Shadow Weaver, although bleary, was also unimpressed by the posh Bright Moon "prison," much to Angella's consternation. Shadow Weaver mocks Angella, saying she can clearly tell her to be Glimmer's mother "by the way (her) voice grows shrill when (she) scream(s)." Castaspella cuts in, saying she will pay for her crimes while teaching her brother (and Angella's husband) Micah, and when Shadow Weaver mentions him Angella orders her not to "speak his name," to which Shadow Weaver replies "I am not the one who got him killed." Castaspella restrains Angella while Shadow Weaver coughs and admits that she was here with information to defeat the Horde, only to be given to Adora.
In Bright Moon, Bow, Perfuma, Frosta, and Mermista spy on Angella and Glimmer's argument. Glimmer argues for decisive action to save the planet which was imminently in danger, while Angella argues for caution and prior formulation of a plan in order to ensure success so as not to "lose anyone else." Angella asks for trust, but Glimmer fires back that she didn't trust her with the knowledge that Shadow Weaver was her father's teacher, and that she was paralyzed by fear into inaction when they could be using Shadow Weaver to infiltrate the Fright Zone. Angella becomes angered by this, and orders Glimmer to desist as Queen of Bright Moon, unless she can come up with a suitable plan.
Beneath the Moonstone, Shadow Weaver prepares to draw power from it even as Frosta, Perfuma, and Mermista arrive. They insist on going as well and tell Shadow Weaver to "make that thing bigger," referring to her sorcerers glyphs. At this time, Angella discovers Glimmer to have left and Shadow Weaver to have escaped, so she rushes back to the Moonstone even as Shadow Weaver has completed her massive glyph that begins drawing energy forth from the Moonstone. Despite the speed of Angella's flight, Shadow Weaver finishes drawing up power and reaches a through a sigil toward Glimmer. Although hesitant, Glimmer does eventually grab Shadow Weaver's hand. Dark power floods through her, surging up her arm and around the Moonstone in a black cloud, even as Angella closes to within shouting distance, screaming "no!" Although Glimmer looks back at her mother, she teleports anyway, causing the cloud of power to flare up and around the platform in a massive detonation that displaces enough air to launch Angella away even as everyone on the platform was transported to the Fright Zone.
In the alternate world created by Hordak's portal Glimmer was seen playing with her mother Angella until Micah, her father, arrives. They are interrupted by news that someone infiltrated Bright Moon, and Adora was brought forward in chains. Reality begins to fall apart there also, so Glimmer and Bow let Adora take the lead to travel to Dryl to reach out to Entrapta for help fixing reality. Angella tries to stop them from leaving, but they fall through the floor and suddenly find themselves in Dryl next to Entrapta who is surprised to see them and not knowing who they are. Angella however has pieced together that what she was seeing isn't real, which saddens Micah. Angella then leaves Micah to go help Glimmer, even as Micah was obliterated by the unraveling reality.
As Adora watches the world dissolve around her, she begins to fade as well, until Angella appears flying through the light to grab Adora and fly her out of the rift to safety. She asks how to fix the world, and Adora relays that she must go into the portal and take the Sword of Protection from it, fixing everything. Angella asks if Adora herself shall return, but Adora says she must sacrifice herself. Angella denies this, however, and tells Adora a secret, admitting to Adora that she was a coward. She says she has always been the queen who stays behind, Micah being the brave one, and that she always let Glimmer make the hard choices because she was afraid. She continues that when Adora came, she inspired them all, inspired Angella to choose to be brave. She kisses Adora on the forehead then flies into the vortex, grabs the Sword of Protection, and with her last words says "take care of each other," before ripping the sword out of the vortex and closing the portal. However, the removal causes an explosion, which either sends Angella to be trapped in between dimensions forever, or kills her. The sword then floats down to Adora's hand.
Season Four[]
A pre-recorded hologram of her appears to Glimmer, Adora and Bow in "The Coronation". When King Micah was found alive and exiled, he's initially oblivious on what happened to her, but then finds out and is heartbroken.
Season Five[]
She is mentioned a few times in the season and appears in Glimmer's vision while fighting her mind-controlled father in the series finale, which gives Glimmer the strength to save him by defeating him.

Trivia[]
- Angella’s name is a pun on the fantastical creature by which her species pays homage to.
- Her "prison" is actually more of a comfy room with lots of cushions. Many seem to doubt that it's a prison due to its non-intimidating demeanor and point this out. This fact often annoys her.
- Other than Swift Wind and Flutterina, she is the only character with a major role in the plot who has wings.
- She was the first named character shown to sacrifice herself in the series, other than Micah, whose supposed death occurred off-screen.
- The only appearance Angella made in season two was in “The Frozen Forest", but in the following season her role is more directly involved with the plot and she has more screen time.
- It's unknown if Angella is alive or dead because she sacrificed herself to save Etheria by removing the sword from the portal, an act that either trapped her in between dimensions forever, or killed her. Given there's no sign of her in the final season, other than Glimmer's vision of her in the finale, her final status is open to interpretation.
- Keiko Murayama and Jisoo Kim developed her visual design.[8]
- Her short description in the pitch bible is "Cool bird mom".[9]
- The pitch bible says she hails from an ancient race of angelic beings from another dimension. It also notes that she doesn’t need to eat or sleep, and "is frankly kind of disgusted by those who do."[9]
- It also describes Micah as the former ruler of Bright Moon, with Angella wielding Bright Moon's power in his absence. Additionally, in the pitch, it's she who is skilled at sorcery.[9]
