Red Angel is a YouTube producer, game journalist, freelance writer and voice actor. Most of her work consists of reviews or essays on video games, although she occasionally branches out into other media as well. She studied humanities, which clearly comes forward in her approach to critiquing games. She has a soft spot for indie games, since they provide the vision and creativity AAA-games so often lack. Before she started making videos, she worked as a video game journalist and wrote for Game Skinny and NoobFeed.
She’s part of the video game analysis community, and she has taken part in projects such as the Gaming Symposium podcast alongside EmceeProphIt, {Errant Signal}, and Games As Literature. She’s also made a cameo in the monolith of a video about the Orange Box by Raycevick.

Red Angel's work provide examples of:
- Analysis Channel: The bread and butter of her channel.
- Badass Bookworm: Her love for books is clearly visible in her avatars and banners, but she claimed to be pretty skilled at archery and fencing as well.
- Berserk Button: While she does a good job keeping her anger contained, it’s clear that lazy and irresponsible journalism frustrates her greatly, as seen in her article on the Pokémon Uranium shutdown.
- Bow and Sword in Accord: As mentioned above, she has practiced both archery and fencing for years.
- Deadpan Snarker: While she occasionally goes full ham, this is her main form of comedy.
- Fiery Redhead: Subverted in her own work, but played straight whenever she isn’t working from a script.
- Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: In her Adventures in Borderlands video, she takes on the role of Maya, a character specialized in ranged weapons and mystical powers, while her friend plays Krieg, a Boisterous Bruiser.
- Kindhearted Catlover: She has a cat which appears in the outtakes of her videos meowing when she's trying to record.
- Pilot: Her video on the ending of Life Is Strange. It’s very rough around the edges, and her video on Life Is Strange: Before The Storm’s ending nicely illustrates how much she’s developed.
- Token Girl: In the fourth episode of the Gaming Symposium, it’s lampshaded that she’s the token girl in a group otherwise consisting exclusively of big bearded men.
- Woman of a Thousand Voices: In her Similar Sinews video she reads some comments and tweets in progressively sillier voices, including Mickey Mouse and singing Toto’s Africa.
