Angela Salas Larrazabal (アンジェラ・サラス・ララサーバル?), sometimes Angie to her squadmates, is a veteran Witch of the 504th Joint Fighter Wing, originating from Hispania.
She is based on Angel Salas Larrazabal
Background
Born to a strict family of officials. A veteran whose Witch ability manifested at an early age, and has been flying since the beginning of the war in Europe. Fought in Karlsland as part of a dispatched unit, later volunteered to fight in Romagna. Now a honorry member of the Red Pants.
She is taciturn, with a strong sense of responsibility, resulting in her taking many situations upon herself. Interaction with the 504th's members have been steadily relieving her of her heavy emotional burden, though she remains weak against compliments such as 'cute' or 'pretty.' Strict and overly-serious, being "man of few words". A quiet girl with a strong sense of duty. Due to her great firepower, she is often used as a trump card against large Neuroi, but due to the nature of her special power and her personality, she remained on the battlefield for too long during the operation, resulting in heavy injuries.
Selected to join Hispania's expeditionary force to Karlsland, the División Azul, she fought in various locations all over Europe and was later appointed commander of this unit.
With the situation in Gallia worsening, the División Azul continued to fight in the Romagna area as they headed south, meeting up and temporarily joining forces with Romagnan troops deployed near the border.
Being well-supplied, the División Azul performed, and lived well up to their title of elites. She was recommended to become a honorary Pantaloni Rossi member.
Seeing how she has a history in the División Azul, she might have met Hartmann and Barkhorn during the evacuation of Karlsland.
Also around that time, her partnership with Wendelin Schröer played a great role in the crushing (by Wendelin) of Large-type Neurois after the Operation Sphinx. Despite being a Hispanian - who are known for their merriness - Angela was a partner that Wendelin had a good compatibility with. Both being "(wo)men of few words", their conversations were extremely uninteresting, kept to only a minimum necessary number of words. Only at one instance, they had an endless, heated debate about eating habits.
After Gallia was liberated by the 501st, the División Azul was to return to Hispania, while she applied to join the newly-formed 504JFW, remaining in Romagna. It was also at that point where she was officially recognized as part of the Pantaloni Rossi.
It is rare for foreign militaries' Witches to be enlisted in the Pantaloni Rossi. As one should expect, she was misty-eyed during her initiation ceremony. This is a secret. (If the topic of what happened at the time is brought up, she would blush and deny it.)
To show respect for Romagna, she donned the Pantaloni Rossi uniform during Operation Trajanus. In the chaos which unfolded after the mission failed, she remained on the battlefield so as to buy time for the unit to escape (note: while not explicitly mentioned in the original text, "the unit" here refers not only to the Red Pants but everyone present, as other sources show). Despite shooting down many Neuroi, she herself suffered grievous injury.
Rescued with great difficulty, she is undergoing long-term medical treatment in 1945. Although Jane and Dominica's "lovey-doveyness" amazes her, she looks upon it with a smile, seemingly not quite aware of the goodwill directed at her. (note: poorly phrased)
Abilities
Her special magic ability enables her to fill her bullets with a lot of magic, making them explosive. Since it strikes a good balance between consuming magic power and having good basic attack power, she prefers using anti-tank rifles.

"Here it comes! Hispania's elite División Azul won't be an easy opponent."
