Angela Pearly-Gates Montenegro is a fictional character in the television series Bones. She is portrayed by Michaela Conlin. Angela Montenegro is a specialist in forensic facial reconstruction at the Jeffersonian Institution, frequently working with Dr.
Temperance Brennan, her best friend. With her artistic talents and intelligence, she develops, maintains, and improves the lab's 3-dimensional graphics and computer simulation system. Angela Montenegro is not her birth name; rather, it came to her in a dream when she was younger, and she changed her name to it on her 18th birthday.
Her birth name is yet to be revealed. Like the other characters in the series, Angela's background is revealed in various subplots as the series progresses. Little is known of her family, although it was revealed that she is the daughter of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and that she is half-Chinese.
In the same episode, it was revealed that her full name is Angela Pearly Gates Montenegro (her middle name a reference to the name of Billy Gibbons' guitar, "Miss Pearly Gates"). Apart from this and the parade of faces and anecdotes from her love life, not much is known of her background.
