Nina Ash

Nina Ash (portrayed by Jenny Mollen) is introduced in the third episode of the fifth season, Unleashed . A young art major living at home with her older sister and niece, she is bitten by a werewolf during a night run. She herself eventually becomes a werewolf and a potential love interest for Angel. After becoming a werewolf, she voluntarily comes to Wolfram and Hart every month during the full moon in order to be caged, a similar arrangement that Oz had in the Sunnydale High library. During the episode Smile Time , Angel realizes, with the help of Wesley, that it is time to pick up the pieces of his turgid love life and ask Nina out for coffee. This is hindered by the fact Angel has morphed into a puppet, but regardless, he overcomes his fear of dating.Although Spike already references her as Angel's girlfriend in The Girl in Question , she is not seen again on-screen until episode 21, Power Play . She and Angel are seen in bed, and she jokes about whether or not Angel is perfectly happy. She tries to get closer to Angel, who, worried about the impending apocalypse at the hands of the Senior Partners, sends Nina, her sister, and her niece away in the series finale.In the non-canonical comics published by IDW Publishing, (Angel: The Curse and Angel: Old Friends) following the show, Angel wants to pursue his relationship with Nina but he can't due the impossibility of removing his curse. An in-canon series, also published by IDW, called Angel: After The Fall, detailing the lives of Angel's crew after the series finale might answer the question of Nina's fate. Show less «
