he grew up in the shadow of her mother, which made her extremely self-conscious, but she eventually got over it.

Childhood
Angelica Catherine "Angie" Millicent was born to Serena and Derek Millicent on June 5th, 1996, five days before her cousin, Caroline Anne was born to her aunt. When she was five days old, she was christened to be the next queen of The United Realms, which makes her very intimidated to this day. She was very happy to be an older sister when Delilah was born, even though she didn't full understand the concept. When Bella was born, she was a little confused when she went and visited her mother in the hospital about why her sister was hooked up to many machines, which her father had to explain in a kid-friendly way.

When she hit the age of five, she was put into normal school, as her father did not see private tutors as beneficial for his young daughter and that plan was kept with her sisters. She truly enjoyed school from ages 5 to 14, but everything would change when she hit high school (See Teen Years paragraph below.)

When she was not in school, she dabbled in the world of horse-back riding and dance. She mainly took dance as a fun thing and to keep up her waltz but took her horse-back riding shows and training very seriously and wanted to be an equestrian and she was actually "pretty good" according to Serena. But as soon as she hit the age of eight, she wasn't really interested in the sport anymore and started focusing her attention back to dance.

At age nine, just like her mother before her, she started up "Next Queen" school in addition to her regular schooling. At first, it stressed her out, but she eventually got used to it. When her mother joining her for a lesson one day, she noticed that Regina and Cora were being a lot easier on Angelica than they were to her. When they got home, Angelica asked her mother about her experience in the "Next Queen" school, which her mother refused.

While she had a very functional and happy childhood, she was often overshadowed by her mother and grandmother. She would notice this the most when they would take her to meet all the realms' rulers and dignitaries and she wouldn't know what to say, since she was so young. Regina understood this more and tried to include her eldest granddaughter in the conversation. Unlike Serena, who was very up-tight and rigid when it came to these subjects.

She also began to notice significant differences between her and her classmates. An example of this is that on her sixteenth birthday, she immediately received a car once she got her license and she also received her own credit card shortly afterwards, while her fellow classmates had to wait around three to twelve months for these special things. Her friends would often ask her for rides everywhere and they would also joke about asking their best friend's parents to but them a car, because they couldn't wait any longer. Angelica was glad that they were only joking.

Angelica also noticed that she was missing a lot more school than her friends, due to going on many business trips and balls, which both bothered and secretly delighted her. Whenever she got back, she always noticed that people would flock up to her and ask her to tell her grandmother about something, which overwhelmed her. This went on for several months and eventually her parents had to get involved, which after they saw Serena, they backed off from her after seeing what could happen if they continued harassing her.

She and her cousin, Caroline, finished high school relatively smoothly, with the occasional bump in the road and they both graduated with decent grades and both decided to not pursue college.

When Caroline ran away to The Netherlands, the family heard nothing from her for a long time, which freaked out her aunt and her mother, for different reasons. Jolie's was obvious, she was fearing for her daughter's health and safety and Serena was fearing for the fact of magic being leaked to the public. Eventually, Caroline returned with a mysterious man named Stanley, who was later revealed to be her husband. Angelica was very suspicious of her cousin's red-headed beau, but soon came around to liking him

Personality
"If she had Dad's looks, she definitely had Mom's personality. They were so similar, down to the way they raised their eyebrows when questioning something."

Angelica has a similar personality to her mother, but she luckily does not have the “insanity” that Serena has. She suspects that their personalities are so similar because they’re both the eldest child, which means that she can be very competitive and protective over them.

Angelica is also the closest one with her mother, which surprises all of her sisters. She explains that she and Serena have many common interests, like wine-tasting, TV binging, shopping and horse-back riding. Whenever Serena has a day off, she tries to either spend it with Angelica, Derek or Monica. When she chooses Angelica, they often go to a local vineyard and do some wine-tasting and occasionally go out to bars at night. Angelica has found our that her mother is kinda immature when she's at a bar, so she often has to be the adult in those situations.

Angelica also likes a fair bit of competition. She is best at dancing and drinking games, but does not try to win at the drinking games because she gets decently bad hangovers. Whenever she does compete in something, she has to really hammer her head into the game in order to really succeed. She has won many dancing competitions and she has also gotten a few blue ribbons during her horse-riding career.

The only downside to her is the fact that she is extremely fearful and is quite superstitious about things that go on during the night. She hates horror movies such as The Shining or It, which her mother can’t get enough of. She is also spooked out by True Crime stories, because she fears that those things could happen to her or her family. She detests the dark, but especially darkness in the the Wish Realm, because one time a Shadow tried to kidnap her and her entire family on a family business trip. She also hates scorpions, cockroaches and spiders, which either her father, mother or even Monica have to kill the bug for her.

Features
"She looks like your father! If your father was female, of course."

-- Ella Barlieu to Rhiannon

Out of her siblings, Angelica is the one that most resembles her father. She inherited his coloring while her build and facial features come from her mother. Angelica is often described as the prettiest and most doll-like out of all of Serena and Derek's children.

Angelica was born with golden blonde hair that slowly began to get darker as she got older. It is mentioned at the age of seventeen, she began dying it platinum blonde in order to more easily fit in with the trends. Rhiannon mentions that on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, Angelica dyed the ends of her hair pink and kept them for around eight months. Angelica's facial features are dead-on matches for her mother's but they are gentler, giving her a more approachable look ("The arches in her eyebrows aren't as severe, her eyes aren't so distinctively feline and her cheekbones don't stick out as much. Her lips are the same shape, but they're plumper.") Angelica's eyes were slate blue at birth, but have since evolved to be a bright, teal hue. Angelica is of average height for a woman and has her mother's figure.

Abilities
Of course, she is a dancer and first began heavily pursuing this hobby when she was eight years old and tired of the horse-show competitions. Angelica grew up seeing both her mother and grandmother dancing at the balls, but she soon learned that her mother used to do dance herself and nearly made it to prima level in ballet. Angelica started with ballet and tap, but she started expanding into the world of ballroom when she turned twelve.

Many people see Angelica as just a dancer, but she really does have a couple other skills, and one of them is singing. She started at around the age of nine, when she was temporarily trying to find her place after she quit horse-back riding and Serena suggested singing. Angelica often admits that while she is decent, she never became as good as her mother.

Another one of her hidden talents is her lie detecting ability, which is often mistaken as a magical power, but according to Serena, it is not. Since she wanted to learn it so badly, but Serena was so busy, Angelica was taught this skill by her mother's cousin, Emma Swan. While she would've preferred to learn it from her mother, she understands that her mother was doing her best to a make it work. Emma taught this skill to her cousin's eldest daughter over the course of three and a half montha and now, Angelica is a master at it.

The last "hidden talent" she has is writing. Angelica openly admits that she can not do writing in a creative light and she is better with the more formal and rigid statements and is good at writing new laws. Regina thinks that this is a great skill to have because when she retires and Angelica ascends the throne, the next queen needs to know at least a couple of things about law-writing and making.
