Angelique was born into a wealthy family in New Orleans. When she was five, her parents died in a carriage accident. Angelique was raised by her aunt and uncle. When she was sixteen, she was married off to a man twice her age. Angelique's husband was abusive and she ran away from him after two years. She ended up living on the streets and turning to prostitution to survive. It was during this time that she met Marie Laveau, a voodoo priestess. Marie took Angelique under her wing and taught her the ways of voodoo. Angelique became a powerful priestess in her own right. She used her powers to help those who were down on their luck. She also used them to curse those who had wronged her or others. One of her most famous curses was on her abusive husband, which led to his death within a year. Angelique is best known for working miracles. She is said to have brought people back from the dead and healed the sick and injured. She is also said to have great foresight and has predicted many events, both good and bad, that have come to pass.
