She wields a righteous fury like no other common Angel. She is a sorrowful and lonely angel and wants nothing more than companionship. She is fiercely loyal and devoted to Heaven and her kin. She is protective of mortals as she is duty bound to Gabriel. Beautiful singing voice and a graceful demeanour. And she loves nothing more than to dance. [b][color=f49ac2]Backstory:[/color][/b] Variel is a songstress and messenger in Heaven. Under Raphael's command, as 3rd tier defence rank. She is his best messenger and healer on the field and as such had earned her place as Raphael's Left Hand. Variel is widely admired amongst the Hierarchy for her beautiful voice. Once Raphael was a kind and gentle Archangel, he was left inconsolable after his brother Gabriel left Heaven, but Variel provided him some small comfort as she was like a daughter to him. He had helped to create her in his image – a graceful, beautiful soul with the fiery heart of justice. Variel questioned everything, whereas most would just obey without thinking; she had a spirit that often caused her trouble. Over time, Raphael became bitter and twisted towards God’s order of bowing down to mortals. Perhaps it was jealousy. Variel became increasingly concerned of Michael and Raphael’s growing wrath. Until Raphael finally let her into his plans – he wanted the Apocalypse to befall the Earth, he wanted to set Lucifer loose upon the world. And he wanted Variel to see it that the last seals were broken. Variel was so shocked by Heaven’s plan and refused to co-operate – Lucifer would kill them all, angels, mortals and archangels alike. How could Raphael condone such an act? She had no choice but to run away from Heaven to find Gabriel. He was the only one who could stop this madness now. And if no-one else would help the mortals, then she would. She had always been loyal to God’s word and so, as Gabriel did, extended her love to humanity. She has to stop the seals being broken by any means necessary… [b][color=f49ac2]Extra:[/color][/b] Her powers: Healing, Telepathy, Can conjure her weapon out of thin air, Angel Wings for flight and the usual super-human strength, endurance and speed that Angels possess. She can keep up with demi-gods, vampires and demons but she is outmatched by an Arch Angel. Her weapon is a holy sword called the Seven Blades of Heaven, passed down to her by Raphael to aid her difficult task. This sword transmutes into a bow for long range combat to fire holy arrows.
