Angela is the crew leader of Naiad Apartment 20-3 third floor Dugong in Temple Eight. In “The Crossing” Joy finds herself falling into her old patterns, ie getting fucked up. With a bit of comfort in her life and some autonomy, she returns to the Roller Girl Neighborhood – with roles reversed from what they were in Temple Eleven. Now Joy is the one banging on the outside of the Naiad apartment looking in. However, where the mermen only offer lust and assholery, Joy tries to bring hope and encouragement. Granted this is Joy we’re talking about, so the effort comes with a(n un)healthy dose of naiveté and drunk spins. Still she attempts to befriend Angela, Flutterfin, Oscarla, Goby, and Espada. Angela clearly has “leader” written all over her, and though skeptical of Joy’s intentions, she helps marshal her team through several of Joy’s adventures and hairbrained schemes. She returns in Book Six and eventually develops her own mermaid tail.
