I've always had this thought on Angel Keima from Darker Sides. The fact that she doesn't introduce herself with her last name, that her last name, Keima, isn't really her last name. I thought about it and messaged the creator, who goes by Kiua on here, and had a chat about Angel. I was told three things that stood out to me:
One: Angel's story is simply a remake of a story Kiua had a long time ago.
Two: Angel' real last name, Fallbrook, came from a roleplay with Kiua's friend.
And three: Angel has a sister never once seen in the story, but is mentioned.
I took these into account and thought.
My theory on the first one, that Angel's story was "remade", that made me think, I asked if she went by a different name, the answer was yes, her name was originally "Rin Keima", this character is said to be a timid child who was tricked into joining Kanex, which was originally just called "Orbit". This child had heterochromic eyes, each representing an emotion she mainly showed, a pink color and a blue color, pink represented fear and blue represented sadness. Her personality went as so:
Rin is a girl that is said to be highly timid, which she was, but not as bad as it was said to be. Rin was tricked into going to the school Orbit, where she was normally outcasted until a girl named Sara invited her to be in a group of friends, she became less timid and "stronger" as her time with that group went by.
We can say that Sara is either Amella or a genderbent Kyle, either or. But this personality doesn't match with the character we know, who is a liar towards herself and others, and is apathetic in most parts. But then I realized that Angel started out that way in the very, and I mean very, beginning.
In the beginning of Darker Sides, Angel's sister was said to have died, she claimed she stood in the shadows of others, not needing to talk or stand up to people. Later on, after the first repeat of the counter, she becomes a white liar as to believe that it was a dream, this lie becomes worse as the repeats happen. So there is that.
So I thought: "What if instead of Angel being a type of remake, she's Rin's persona?"
Think about it, Rin and Angel started the same, and grew, only difference is Angel lies. However, she claimed she lied to herself too. So that makes the whole "persona" idea more believable. Here's what I think happen:
After the first repeat, Rin grew afraid of what happen, seeing all of her friends die caused serious harm to her, and she wanted to forget it. So she started lying, claiming it was all a dream, but when the second repeat came, she grew terrified, and she decided to try and be someone else, she called herself "Angel" when introducing herself, and became a bigger liar because she didn't want to mess anything up, feeling like it would happen again. When it did, she grew angrier, and started to lose empathy towards herself and her friends when she saw them die, she ended up not crying when she saw her best friend die. After a while of being this persona, she grew mentally insane, trying the same thing over and over for a different result, when that failed, she pushed her best friend, who would be Kyle, into the path of a truck, muttering an apology to him, when she saw him die, she cried, she was both sad, and happy, sad for her friends death, but happy that her plan worked. This is when she met someone with the same ability to "remember" as she did, his name was Leon, a scientist on people's souls, he offered Rin, or Angel, the ability to see auras and sense when things are wrong in what he called "hazes", which were the repeats. Angel accepted and started to help by looking at what Leon called "Souls Subjects", people who's souls they tested, auras, saying if they were bad people, or good. She kept this up for two more hazes until she was able to get two souls she wanted to help, she chose two that were broken, and was gifted with one to test on. When she grew bored of the test soul, she wanted to look at the two she picked, when she did, she had an idea to make them alive, as they were dead souls, this is where Eaxou and Snake came into her life, they were a secret to Leon, who thought the new cracks on Angel's soul, which are bits of Snake's soul, we're just from her insanity and mental break from past hazes. This is we're the story leads on to where it is now.
This is my theory, I may add on to it later, and I honestly like the idea of Angel being Rin's persona, or game character. Tell me what you think about this, and if there are any notes you want to add on, please tell me.
