(Warning for game spoilers, talk of religion/doomsday cult/Jehovah's Witnesses.)

My general idea is to have her refer to God/The Lord, and that's what I'll default to if I decide this idea is too much, buuut Jehovah's Witness Angie has been rotating in my brain. I have a special interest in Christianity-based cults, especially JWs. It could work somewhat with the narrative, she even forms her own Watchtower with the curfew crew.

I'd have to rewrite her introduction line about asking Kaede for her blood, since JWs believe blood transfusions are a sin (it's actually pretty bad, since they will deny their kids treatment for deadly diseases). Another thing is Angie being a girl, is not supposed to take on a leader role (sexist gender roles). I can see a workaround though; Angie is pretty stubborn and could bend the rules by pushing a boy like Kibo or Gonta (those two cant catch a break can they?) into being a sort of puppet ruler/mouthpiece while she (um, I mean Jehovah) is obviously the one calling the shots.

JWs views of magic are pretty fickle. They believe magic is from Satan which makes it bad, but anything from Jehovah and Jesus is not magic, even if it's something most non-JW people would consider magic. I can picture a conversation of Himiko asking if that means Jehovah is against her magic, with Angie reframing her mage stuff as "miracles" and Himiko as "serving the will of Jehovah", and Shuichi and Kaede asking how that makes it not-magic.

The wax figure plot and Angie's idea of staying in the school forever almost sounds like JW idea of Paradise Earth, that instead of Heaven JWs dont really die and instead get resurrected and live in a version of Earth where everyone is vegetarian, animals are all friendly to people and dont eat each other anymore, and all your (JW) relatives are there too. Everyone else dies either before or during Armageddon, which is why JWs tell people about Jehovah right now, to give them the ability to choose Jehovah over death. It is a doomsday cult, fantasies about the end of the world and bad people suffering/obedient servants thriving is their thing, which matches Angie's perverse excitement about the killing game and taking over the narrative of that situation. Yes, it is absolutely a coping mechanism to dealing with the horrors. This killing game is Jehovah's test to reveal who His true followers are, so even if you are killed His followers will come back, so you shouldn't worry or try to leave. I think Angie would try to use the book Monokuma gave them (a crack in her faith?), though she would claim to everyone else that she's keeping the evil book away from others and bringing Rantaro back through other means, with the will of Jehovah...somehow. She never elaborates. This too, is like real life JWs/Watchtower, contradictory behavior and the rules "applying to thee, but not to me."
