been developing a headcanon for canonical christian lore with these guys. my angel characters pretty much all start out as expressions of myself in some way and then sorta morph into their own thing and that’s what happened with these guys. i am not 100% accurate on my angel/bible lore because i only read enough to get the brain goin in a manner of speaking, usually, then i alter things to fit in with what i want to see from angel characters. i WANT to get more into actual biblical lore because it’s very interesting to me, but reading is really hard for me for whatever reason. oh well.

ANGELOPHANY
[noun]
the appearance of an angel or angels; manifestation of a celestial being.
Etymology: angel, from Old English engel or Old French angele, both from Late Latin angelus, ultimately derived from Late Greek angelos (messenger) + –phany, indicating a manifestation, from Greek phania, from phainein (to show).

Special thanks to this post by notbecauseofvictories, without it I would’ve cried a lot due to my lack of knowledge of other types of medias containing things about angels outside of Good Omens and Supernatural.
Also if you ever need help with writing or anything like that feel free to ask me! I have a crap load of resources and am somewhat knowledgeable about writing in general uwu.
