Character Analysis
A.k.a. Ange, a.k.a. spexgril
Ange is Marcus's unexpected love interest (which is the best kind of love interest, in our humble reader's opinion). She and Marcus are both friends with Jolu, but they don't really hang out until the Sutro Baths party that starts the Xnet web of trust. Ange helps sell the idea to the group and creates the first key (11.30).
And that creative hyper-intelligence is part of the reason that Marcus falls so hard for her. She's attractive in a way that Marcus doesn't expect, clunky black glasses and all. He thinks she's "smart and passionate and committed," which we think makes for great girlfriend material (11.47).
And sure, their relationship has its ups and downs, but they make up after their only major fight. When Ange gets caught in the VampMob raid, Marcus tries to go back for her (though Masha stops him).
Our favorite fact about Ange, though, is that she's a total spice junky. She carries a capsaicin oil mister to add extra levels of spice to every snack she chows down on, short of things like ice cream and coffee. This girl is definitely hardcore about everything—from what she eats to having freedom of expression.
