Allison Angel is a "perfect" Alice Angel clone who is based on the voice actress Allison Pendle, and is a studio veteran who fights against the feared Ink Demon and his followers. She's often accompanied by Tom.
History
Origins
Allison was created by Joey Drew after he made the ink realm. She was created so Henry would "have an angel of his own" to guide him in the darkest times.
Saving Henry
After Brute Boris disintegrates into ink, Allison comes in and saves Henry, who is about to be attacked by her mad counterpart, by stabbing Alice with her sword with Tom close behind her.
The Ink Demon's attack
After saving Henry from Alice Angel, Allison and Tom decide to lock Henry in a cell in their safehouse since he was a stranger. During this period Allison and Henry start to get closer, and during their talk, Allison gifts Henry the Seeing Tool. But one day after Tom got back home, he tells Allison that he was seen by the Ink Demon. After that, they hear the Demon approaching their home. Allison tries to free henry from their cell, only to be stopped by Tom who convinces her to leave Henry behind.
Killing Sammy
After seeing Sammy about to kill Henry, Tom slowly approaches him from behind and kills him by stabbing him with the axe. Right after that he befriends Henry and gives him an axe as Allison reaches them. They then hear a rumble and Allison informs Henry that they need to fight the Lost Ones and the Searchers as Sammy was the only one keeping them at bay, and the battle begins.
Ending the cycle
After the battle ends, Allison asks Henry to lead the way, while Henry is walking through the planks one breaks and he falls into the abyss as Allison worryingly yells behind him. The duo later find Henry searching a box after going down with their rope. Henry informs them that they need to follow the Ink Demon to find what they need, despite Allison's brief hesitation, they go through with this plan as Tom break opens the door to that leads to the demon's lair. The trio travels through a set of rooms and they briefly see the Ink Demon, who was going to his lair. Right after they find a giant version of the Ink Machine, Allison remarks that she have never seen it before and informs Henry that they can't cross the ink river since it would claim them. Allison states that Henry is there to set them free after he starts to question his purpose, and Henry leaves to fight the Ink Demon.
Meeting Audrey
After Audrey survives the Piper's attack, Allison encounters her and attempts to help her. Despite Audrey's initial overreaction, Allison teaches her a bit about how the studio works. She also tells her to beware the Ink Demon and the two exchange names right before Allison leaves.
After a while, Allison attempts to contact Audrey through a pipe, Audrey answers and Allison asks her where she is. After Audrey informs she is in an animation department entrance, Allison acknowledges that she is going up as advised. She tells Audrey to find the Gent Pipe so she could break in, she then demands Audrey to find the pipe quickly after a rumble is heard.
She later on answers Audrey's call from the pipes. After hearing Audrey's dismay, Allison tells her to stay where she is as she is coming to find her.
Killing Alice
After Audrey and Alice Angel fell of the balcony and Alice gets ready to finish off Audrey, Allison swiftly stabs her with her sword, making her fall into her arms. Allison and Alice then share a short conversation where she makes Alice acknowledge that she was always beautiful before leaving her to rest. Allison then asks Audrey if she is okay, Audrey then renames her as "Allison" after seeing the difference between Alice Angel and Allison. Allison then asks Audrey what she is doing in Wilson's retreat, Audrey explains that Wilson has a plan to kill the Ink Demon. Despite being unsure, Allison accepts the help before going on to gather her friends to fight the demon.
Ending the cycle, again
Allison later appears during the final battle with the Tommy gun and shoots down the Lost Ones and after realizing that Audrey is controling Beast Bendy's body, she and Tom help her reach a projector. They succeeded in this with the aid of Henry and some others, and Audrey successfully resets the cycle. It's unclear what happened to Allison after this but she is implied to be still trapped inside the ink realm.[3]
Characteristics
Physical appearance
Allison Angel is very similar to Alice Angel, but has no sign of any deformities on her face. Her black hair is tied up in a ponytail, she wears a headband, and sports a pair of broken horns. Like Alice Angel, she wears a black dress with straps, but the dress is wider, and also has a large brown stain over it, giving the impression of a top, and tights, but also wearing boots each with a belt buckle. Her arms are entirely covered in ink, resembling black opera gloves. She also wears a belt with a messenger bag clasped on, from which a wrench, a Gent pipe, and a crowbar can be seen, a rope over her left shoulder, and a leather dagger holder with a wrench in it. Her bow seems different compared to Alice Angel, which was tinted with slightly darker colors.
Personality
Unlike Alice Angel's mad obsessive personality, Allison Angel is a kind, caring and a battle-hardened veteran that fights back against any evil rulers for freedom of the ink realm. Like her friend Tom, Allison is a cautious character when it comes to meeting strangers, at first when she meets Henry, she was a bit cautious and questions his purpose of being in the studio but after getting to know Henry a bit more, she opens up to him and starts caring for his well-being and safety, fighting with him until the end. When she mets Audrey, she tries to calm her down and tells her about the dangers of the ink realm, most importantly the Ink Demon. She guides her by communicating with the pipes to tell Audrey where to go, saved her against her insane counterpart and fought alongside her at the final battle to end the cycle.
