I have been writing some stories about several characters and decided to make them angels. I have been fascinated with these creatures for a long time. Many think they originate in Christianity, but they are mentioned throughout other myths also. They are called nymphs, sprites and other names, but the entity is basically the same.
I always imagine angels looking quite young and beautiful. I picture them as very mischievious and always looking for trouble. I don't picture the somber looking adults that most movies portray them as.
I have read many Greek and other myths and the angel type characters are very different than Hollywood and Christianity now makes them out to be.
The spirits who watch over some people are former relatives and are not angels in my book. I look at angels as separate entities.
What does an angel look like to others here and how do they behave?
