Angel Grace Trazona Guardian (born September 6, 1998) is a Filipino actress of Palestinian descent. She is best known for her participation in the reality show Running Man Philippines (2022–2024), where she became the first Ultimate Runner. She stars as Deia, one of the main characters in Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.

Early life

Angel Guardian was born on September 6, 1998, Manila, Philippines. A previous version of Sparkle's artist profile for Guardian described her as "Fil-Israeli". However, some interviews described her as half-Palestinian or Filipino-Palestinian. Guardian's official artist profile states that she is Filipino-Palestinian.

Career

In 2024, Guardian was included in GMA's Sparkle 10, a group of rising young actresses from the network. After small roles in shows such as Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters, Guardian landed a major role as one of the Sang'gres in the Encantadia spin-off, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre (2025). Her character, Deia, is named after Iza Calzado's daughter, with Calzado's permission. Calzado, who portrayed Amihan in the original series, wished Guardian good luck on social media, writing "Avisala, Sang’gre Deia!, Alagaan mo ang brilyante natin (Hello, Sang'gre Deia!, Take care of our precious crystal)." She described Guardian as "kind", "sincere", and "level headed".

Personal life

Guardian supports Palestinian liberation. She has shared an image describing Israel as an "occupation" and an "apartheid state", but clarified that she does not support Hamas.
