OVA
Description
Gooley is a ranking executive within the World Welfare Work Association, the organization that employs the series' central characters. As the direct superior to the agents known as the Lovely Angels, he serves as their primary point of contact and handler. His full name is Gooley Andrea Frances, and he is depicted as an adult male with brown hair and gray eyes, typically dressed in a suit befitting his administrative position.
In terms of personality, Gooley is initially portrayed as a strict, straight-laced, and authoritative figure. His professional demeanor is a necessary counterbalance to the chaotic nature of the work he oversees. However, as the series progresses, his character evolves to become more nervous and excitable, a direct consequence of the stress caused by the agents under his command. Despite his often-frazzled exterior, he genuinely cares for the welfare of his subordinates. He makes concerted efforts to provide them with the best available information and equipment for their missions and has been known to show personal kindness, such as hosting a special dinner to thank them for their overtime work. His relationship with Kei and Yuri is a central part of his role; he functions as a long-suffering but tolerant supervisor, a figure they may refer to as a boss-dad due to his paternal, if exasperated, concern for them.
Gooley's primary role in the story is to assign missions and manage the affairs of the Lovely Angels. He is the one who contacts them when a new assignment is ready, relaying their orders and the necessary mission parameters. This position places him at the center of the considerable administrative fallout caused by the duo, as he is responsible for dealing with the immense paperwork and property damage claims that result from their notoriously destructive methods. While he usually operates from a command center, his role is not limited to a desk. He has been known to rush to the scene when an agent is in potential personal trouble, such as when he believed Yuri was getting married, and he has also been placed directly in harm's way, being taken hostage or requiring rescue by the agents he commands.
As a character, Gooley demonstrates notable development in his increasing anxiety and reactivity to the Lovely Angels' adventures. His motivations are rooted in fulfilling his duties as a WWWA executive and protecting his agents, all while navigating the impossible situations they create. His key relationships are predominantly with Kei and Yuri, to whom he acts as a strict but caring superior. He also works alongside other WWWA personnel, such as an assistant named Calico, with whom he coordinates to manage the agents. He does not possess any superhuman fighting abilities; his notable strengths lie in his administrative authority, his access to the WWWA's resources, and his experience in managing high-risk, high-destruction operations.
