OC Backstory - Angela Malone
(this story has a slight numb3rs crossover slant to it (her sister is married to don, basically). but those characters don't come in that often, and may not becoming into this story at all. i'm not sure though.)
Actual Person: Anna Nalick, singer.
Age: 30
Grandparents: Arthur (deceased) and Catherine Malone
Parents: Benjamin Sr. and Beverly Malone
Siblings: Valerie and Benjamin Jr. Malone
Angela Malone was born into a very wealthy Manhatthan family, but it wasn't the rich snob types. She was the middle child of three, and her father was easily her favorite parent. He encouraged any type of career that his three children were to pursue, and while her mother wanted her children to be happy, she wished at least one of her children would have chosen a career that was not in the criminal justice system. (Val works white collar FBI cases, and Ben is an intern with the Miami Dade Medical Examiner's office) Originally Angie was thinking of a career in the performing arts, but when she sat in on one of her sister's criminal justice classes, she was hooked, especially on the idea of undercover work.
After she finished school, she was having trouble trying to find an assignment. She managed to find a spot on a homicide division of the FBI here in New York, where she worked for a brief time with Agent David Sinclair on a undercover case coupled with NY Vice Squad. There, she created Princess, a Latina hooker with a fondness for calling every man who passed her on the street papí, who is, to date, still one of her favorite characters to play. She takes Princess with her everywhere, just in case she needs her.
After the New York vice stint mentioned above, Sinclair got transferred out to Los Angeles, and one day he called her because his supervisor was looking for an agent with solid undercover experience to work a hugely sensitive case involving a Russian mobster named Ivan Alexandrov. She was playing the man's lover, and while he had already made a deal with the US District Attorney's office, she was helping him bring in some of his right hand men. However, her supervisor (not Don, at this point) was anxious to get the case overwith, and was pushing her to close the deal faster. Angie knew that if she pushed Ivan, he would never hold up his end of the deal with the US DA, and it started out as a verbal agrument which escalated, somehow (Angie still isn't sure how) into a physical altercation. Ivan, who was quite fond of Angie at this point, came to her defense, but he shot and killed her supervisor. He made her promise not to speak in his defense, and she didn't, but she had always felt guilty about Ivan getting an automatic death sentence on her behalf.
After that happened, Don pulled some strings to get her the CSI position in Miami, which is, in coincidence, where her life started to turn into that of a trouble magnet (she blames Eric, usually). Having never studied forensics, and not having the brain to remember all those names and techniques that she often refers to through hand gestures and words usually ending with the suffix "-thing" or "-thingie". Her coworkers at the Miami Dade lab are used to it by now, but in the beginning it drove them crazy.
Over the course of the next five years, Angie would be kidnapped several times, assaulted in too many ways, have both coworkers and her brother shot, and have her cover blown (it only happened once, and it was because there was a mole in the system. She didn't slip up). Yet, through it all, she's managed to not change at all, which, while some people admire her resliance, they all agree that she's either going to have a breakdown relatively soon, or at least need massive amounts of therapy. (If you want more detail on said events in the Miami era, read the Return to Oz series.) And, of course, since this was my first CSI pairing I wrote ever, Eric has been there, and everyone expects them to live happily ever after. Which may or may not happen (I haven't decided yet).
However, although Eric loves her very much, he can't deal with working with her. When Angie's working a case, she speaks before she thinks, she'll go off on a tangent and someone has to bring her back, and she is anything but on task all the time. Calleigh can handle it, but what really surprised everyone was that on a random time when Horatio paired up Angie and Ryan together, and they could actually deal with each other. Ryan, who she affectionately calls "Wolfie," can keep her somewhat on task, and makes sense of what she says as she's saying it, and they just clicked. So at the point where "Crossing the State Line" picks up, she and Ryan have been working practically every case together, and she has barely ever worked with Eric and Calleigh at all.
And that's Angie. In a nice, giant, nutshell.

On a side note, the idea of anyone calling Ryan 'Wolfie'? It makes me smile like mad.
no subject
and as for 'Wolfie,' she thinks it's cute. he can't stand it.

Mind if I borrow this idea for Christina, doing a bio on her for those confused as to who she is?
