Angela - Since Angela gets married in TWTTIN, I picture her stuck in a marriage she was sort of forced into. I think she would finish high school and she'd end up pregnant fairly quickly afterwards. I see her as too weak to break out of her marriage (and also having a strange like/dislike for her husband that keeps her with him) and sort of stuck in her life. She'd be living in a bad situation her whole life, going from crappy guy to crappy guy if she ever did divorce and she knows that. She'd do anything for her kid(s) though, and Tim and Curly give her money to help her out. I think Tim and Curly would have a tenuous relationship with her husband, and whenever the Shepard's end up in jail, Angela's life is a little worse because her husband knows he can get away with more.

I think she's protrayed as very tough, but she's actually very insecure and doesn't think she can make it on her own. I think she relies on men to get her through life and she doesn't see how resilient she actually is. I don't see her having a good relationship with her mother at all and being kind of isolated, maybe having one or two friends in similar situations. I see her as getting more insistent and nagging to her husband as she gets older, and sort of ruling him at home, but knowing deep down that he is in control. I picture her husband as staying involved in crime and a bad lifestyle.

When he gets sent off to jail or prison, I don't see her having any problem finding another guy to take care of her. She doesn't care if it's cheating.

I created a new C2 community for archiving any fics about Tim, Curly or Angela Shepard. There are over 67 listed in there now (as of Oct 2007), so if you read at ff.net and like the Shepard's, add yourself to the C2 community and you'll get an email every time a story is added to the archive. To see ALL the stories, make sure you use the drop down menu and select Fiction Rating: All so you can see M rated ones as well as K-T.
