Angelika
Angelika is a female gargoyle originally from the Northumbria Clan who becomes the adopted daughter of Demona.
History
The gargoyle who would take the name Angelika hatched in 1078 and was a part of the Northumbria Clan.
1093
When Demona first arrived in Northumbria, the young rookling was immediately fascinated by her. She approached Demona when the older gargoyle was alone to ask why she carried a sword, and showed no fear when Demona turned on her, brandishing the blade to threaten the child not to sneak up on her before ultimately having her question answered. On November 13th, the rookling, while climbing through dug tunnels, overheard Demona arguing with the clan's leader and second-in-command. Demona was urging them to scatter the clan before sunrise, as staying in one place made them too easy a target for the humans. But while the two adult gargoyles refused to heed Demona's advice, the rookling did - hiding herself underground. Because of this, she survived when Canmore massacred her clan.
She awoke and found her shattered clan and, within the rookery, the clan's shattered eggs. As she wept over them, she turned on Demona when the older female discovered her. At first, blaming Demona for her survival and thus experiencing these horrors, she wished she had perished. Demona scowled at this and shoved the rookling to the ground, advising her that she had been wise to heed her warnings. Demona then led the rookling to take vengeance where they came upon Canmore, fleeing the Battle of Alnwick. Demona took swift vengeance upon the Hunter and would have attempted to end Canmore's entire line, had the rookling not dragged her away to protect Demona from the scores of soldiers. She continued to be fascinated by Demona when the gargoyle spoke of her immortality. When she asked if they should hold a Wind Ceremony, Demona had no interest and was prepared to leave the rookling to do as she liked - wishing her luck as she could not be burdened with her care.
Demona took off over the sea, but the rookling followed - telling Demona that she wasn't following her, just going in the same direction. Inspired by Demona's name, the rookling took the name Angelika. ("Fools Rush In...")
1997
By 1997, a lock of Angelika's hair was entwined with a lock of Demona's hair and kept inside a Gold Locket. Demona broke into the Metropolitan Museum of Art, assaulted a security guard, and battled the Manhattan Clan to claim this prize for no apparent reason other than sentimentality. ("A Prize Beyond Compare...")
