Angela Franklin is a Walkervillian cyclist and one of Keesha's two mothers. She is the daughter of Keesha's grandmother and the wife of the other Mrs. Franklin. She made her debut appearance in "Pigs in the Wind" and appeared in many others alongside her wife, but she was never given a speaking role, character development, or name until "Goldstealer", where she is the deuteragonist and rival of Laura Smythe.
Trivia[]
