Angelica Minervis is a female peculiar and a leader of a peculiar gang in New York City.

History[]

A Map of Days[]

She first appears after Frankie reaches out to the most notorious peculiar gangs of New York, and argues with Wreck Donovan about Dogface, who hadn't arrived at the moment. Once Dogface arrives and nearly gets into a fight with Wreck, she tells them to stop with a placid face, though her storm cloud was dense and swirling. She and the other two clan leaders begin examining Jacob and his friends. Angelica states that she needs, as ever, competent weatherfolk. When Emma breaks free of Frankie's telekinetic grip and threatens to burn her, Angelica says "please do" as Frankie is a pain. She and Dogface agree that things just got interesting, before Wreck proposes that the three split the group between them and Angelica and Dogface contradict that. Angelica tells Emma that she thinks Emma is very talented and asks her to come with her, due to Angelica's clan being elementals.

After Jacob and his friends are all free, Angelica says that the group couldn't be from around New York due to the fact that their peculiarities would make it so everyone knew their names. Though she, Wreck and Dogface all had a bit of grudging respect for the group, they were still wary, and Angelica's cloud had started quietly storming.

When she learns that Noor is an uncontacted peculiar, she shakes her head and says "That's bad." Dogface says that the clan leaders need to turn the group in for "kidnapping" Noor, but Angelica asks "Must we?" saying that she likes them more and more. Dogface thinks she must be joking, as their lives are worth nothing if Leo Burnham hears that they didn't turn the group in. Angelica answers that she thought Dogface wasn't scared of anyone.

Description[]

Appearance[]

Angelica is a young-looking girl with hair coiffed in complicated, iron curls that cascade down her back. Her face is milky-white, smooth, and very cold. Her mouth is turned down at the corners as if she's chewing something or talking to herself silently. A cloud of black smoke hovers around her head and shoulders, churning slowly but never dissipating. It narrows into a funnel shape that seems to emanate from her right ear.

Peculiarity[]

Angelica has a cloud coming out of her ear that can generate rain, snow or hail. She is an elemental peculiar and is a combination of zephyr, rainmaker, and glaciator.
