agree Eduardo L : Me gusta tu sugerencia para el nombre del personaje: "Por algo le llaman 'el ángel chiflado'", queda bien, a falta de contexto sobre el guión en cuestión.

Chalangela, Angela la Loca

what about combining chalao (crazy) and Angela (as a proper name) or Angela la Loca as a reference to Juana la Loca

Hope it is useful because crazy here could be from really being crazy to being different, to be someone who challenges conventions
Note from asker:
I like Angela la Loca as an option! Thanks!!

la loca / chalada / majareta angelical

Otra forma de enfocarlo.
Sin conocer la personalidad del personaje y el tono de la película es difícil saber cual de las diversas opciones que se ofrecen es adecuada.
Note from asker:
Good ideas, I will definitely include these as options. Thanks!
