Angela
The Healer · "Kind but sharp"
Angela is the healer of the five friends in Overlayed Echoes, and Theo's sister. She's "kind but sharp — like a friend who'd bring you soup then roast you for catching a cold." A nurse by trade, she's the kind who can hold a hand and run an IV at the same time, and the kind who'll tell a doctor he's wrong in front of the patient when he's wrong in front of the patient.
She talks almost without stopping — about everything except the hard nights she carries home from work. She has settled rooms just by walking into them since she was a kid. When the session begins, Angela is already squared away, steady at the center of the group.
- Theo — her brother, the guardian.
- Kael — her best friend since childhood; her family treated him as another son.
- Marcus & Lena — the rest of the five.
