Angela

Angela is a supporting character from the Pachislot Akumajo Dracula spin-off series. Using Glyph-like runes that appear on her body as she dances, she is able to use an array of magical abilities in battle. She is initially employed by the Church to act as an aid to Trevor Belmont.

Pachislot I
Following Dracula's resurrection, Angela joins Trevor and provides him magical support. Using her power, she casts a spell that annihilates a horde of skeletons. She is also able to revive Trevor with healing magic during his fight with Dracula. Her involvement turns the tide of the battle and allows Trevor to seal Dracula once again.

Outside of combat, Angela partakes in several dancing sequences that summon special runes. The appearence of these scenes are dependent on the player's score, and they allow Trevor to progress in the game. These sequences must be completed in order to successfully defeat Dracula.

Pachislot II
In Pachislot Akumajo Dracula II, Dracula is resurrected once again. To stop Angela from further interfering with his plans, he forces her to a cursed necklace and serve as his bodyguard. In this brainwashed state, Angela's hair changes to a silver color and becomes flared, her eyes turn red, and runes appear on her arms. Under Dracula's influence, she proves to be an exceptionally fast and acrobatic fighter, and uses retractable wrist blades as her main weapons. She appears in her original form primarily in flashbacks.

Trevor battles with "Dark" Angela when he reaches Dracula's throne room. He temporarily convinces Angela to take control of herself, but the necklace's power quickly possesses her again. Trevor eventually manages to destroy the necklace, ending the brainwashing and restoring Angela's humanity. Angela's eye color and hair style return to normal at this point, but her hair retains its altered silver color.

After Angela's defeat, Trevor places her unconscious body on the ground and charges forth to face Dracula. When Dracula seems to have the upper hand in the battle, Angela appears to Trevor in her original dancer form as either a memory or a spirit. This rallies Trevor back into the fight and allows him to defeat Dracula. Angela's actual fate is currently unknown.

Angela also appears in dancing sequences as she did in the previous game. Strangely, and despite her allegiance to Dracula for most of the story, Angela alternates between her two alter-egos at random when "hosting" this mini-game. As in the first pachislot title, Angela must provide the player with a specific series of runes in order to complete the game.
