I like her already! I mostly enjoy the visual of her blissfully stroking the angel wings while they look at her a little askance. Sort of like Taki with Nyanko-sensei. ♥
Ooooh yes, absolutely. They usually come about when I'm sitting around watching/reading something, and I dig the basic concept and tropes, but I would have gone a completely different way with it.
For example, I came up with two characters recently after I flipped through a book about a girl who can see other people's dreams, and her condescending magical boyfriend. So I decided that dreamwalking girl needed to be less angsty and more deadpan, and condescending boyfriend needed to be way more ridiculous. (He still acts like a typical urban fantasy boyfriend at first, but heroine cannot take him seriously because of his recurring dreams about piloting giant robots.) So once I flesh them out more and make them mine, they may show up in a story some day! Quite a few characters I've made have been like that.
H'okay, back to you: tell me a little about the angels! What's the mythology there?
