“ | I'm already saved. Now you can prance...and you can preen...and you can scream and shout and yell and remind me of my failings and my flaws but somehow, I'm awake. And I will stay awake and I will keep you awake until we both go insane. I will fight you...and fight you...and fight you for...ever. For the rest of all eternity. So it seems you have a choice: you can be kept awake and never fall back asleep as long as I am up and at 'em...or you can let me go and after that, you will be sleeping like a baby. It's your choice entirely...Goblivious. | „ |
— Annael to Goblivious |
Annael, also called Anna or even Ann for short, is a young but powerful angel, specifically, she is the youngest of the Malakhim created by God, making her one of the youngest angels in all of Heaven. She is a major recurring character in BloodRayne & Mia the Vampire Slayer and a main character in the spin-off Host of Heaven. After wrongfully spending 300 years in Heaven's Dungeon, she eventually not only allies herself with Oracle but becomes his protégée as well and gets tangled in the cold war between Oracle and Michael. She is characterized as a young, determined, beautiful, soulful, edgy, hot-headed, and strong-willed angel, determined to prove herself to those who doubt her. She is also the former protégée of the Power Furiad and the protégée of Oracle.
Over the many millennia since her creation, Annael has often been doubted, overlooked, and looked down upon by most other angels, specifically those of higher rank and greater power. Though she was a great and honorable angel for a time, especially having fought against Lucifer's forces during the Rebellion and also in the war against the Turok-Hans, over 300 years ago, she was wrongfully imprisoned for failing at her post because she had to stop Lucifer's shadow-self from influencing a prophet. Annael was disbelieved in the events that happened and locked away and tortured in Heaven's Dungeon.
When Oracle returned to Heaven following Lucifer's defeat and the ending of the Apocalypse, Annael was free by him due to his respect for her ability to resist three centuries of brutal torment. After becoming Oracle's protégée following Oracle's declaration of civil war against Michael's attempt to take over Heaven, rule the Multiverse, and restart the Apocalypse, Annael accompanied Oracle on many of his visits and adventures to Earth to see his friends.
Following Oracle's ascension as the Ruler of Heaven, Annael has not only increased in power, but she has since then gone from being the worst angel to being one of the best under Oracle's command, especially during the release of the Turok-Hans, the fight against the last remaining Greater Demons, the return of the Seraphim, and the war against Amara.
In addition to being his protégée, Oracle has also given Annael an important role in Heaven: Special Assistant to the Sovereign of Heaven, allowing her to help Oracle stay connected to the lower angels. She also reports back to him about any problems happening in the lower ranks as well as things happening to and with the angels of the middle and higher sphere (such as rumors, whispers, and incidents between angels), and also to try to round up the remaining rogue angels on Earth.
However, while battling Mephistopheles, Annael was killed by the Greater Demon. Following her death, Annael was then sent to The Empty, where all angels and demons go when they die, to sleep for eternity. She, however, was somehow awoken from her slumber when both Oracle and Lucia prayed for Annael's return. She was soon expelled from The Empty by Goblivious, due to her interfering with the latter's slumber and demanding her release, allowing her to be resurrected as a result.
Annael soon reunited with the Host of Heaven, including Oracle and Lucia, and worked with them to find Mephistopheles. And together with several other angels, Annael killed the Greater Demons. To this day, Annael remains at her post.
Biography[]
Early History[]
Origins[]
“ | I was, still am, young, reckless. I was never a perfect angel. But you know...I--I always...admired Oracle. Before he disappeared after the Rebellion, I always used to watch him fight, whether it was for training, during combat, or even in a battle. He seemed so...brave, fearless, confident, and free. I always wanted to know what that felt like. | „ |
— Annael to Rayne in You Are Still Young |
As an angel, Annael has existed for thousands, if not, millions of years. Oracle said that he witnessed Annael's birth and was astonished by her beauty, despite being the youngest Malakhim. She also got along very well with other angels, such as Amenadiel, Ambriel, Metatron, etc. She also mentioned that she was among those angels who fought the Turok-Hans. Annael also looked up to and admired Oracle, having mentioned that she always use to watch Oracle fight during training lessons, sparring sessions, and even in actual battles and thought he always looked so powerful, brave, determined, cunning, and fearless and she even said she always thought he was amazing. Additionally, Annael was among the angels still loyal to God when Lucifer defied God and rebelled against Heaven. After Lucifer's banishment and Oracle's disappearance, Annael fell under Furiad's command. And for a time, Annael was a worthy, respectable, talented, and proud angel of God.
Saint Lucia[]
One day, when the human soul of Lucia had come to Heaven and her transformation into an angel began, Lucia was one of the very first successful human souls to become an angel and she was partnered with Annael. And for a time, the two angels worked great together.
Imprisonment[]
Mission[]
“ | Don't get me wrong. For a time, I was a great angel. And one day, I was given a mission of great cosmic importance. But, due to...shall we say, unforeseen circumstances that were beyond my control, I was imprisoned in Heaven's dungeon for 300 years. | „ |
— Annael to the Team, about her mission she failed at finishing |
Some time ago, Annael for some reason failed her post as Furiad's student and other duties, especially because she left her post and went to Earth for reasons unknown, leading other angels to doubt her and call her weak, useless, inexperienced, naive, impulsive, and stupid, hence leading them to think of her lacking what it takes to be a real warrior of God. One day, when Annael and Lucia were charged with protecting a prophet, literally ordered not to leave the Prophet alone or even let the Prophet out of their sights, the two angels noticed that Lucifer's shadow self was influencing the Prophet through manipulation and therefore, when the shadow was leaving, Annael trusted her instincts to follow and destroy it.
Whilst the two angels did so, fighting Lucifer's shadow and the demonic minions he sent, Annael and Lucia banished the shadow away, in doing so, saving the prophet. However, when brought before their superiors about why they disobeyed their orders, Annael told the truth and asked Lucia for back up, but out of fear of her superiors, Lucia lied and told something else entirely: that Annael had left her post and that she tried to stop her but failed. The superior angels, including Furiad, believed Lucia and punished Annael for it.
Punishment[]
“ | They slashed and...cut...and tortured me in ways that were worse than Hell...until I was so weak I could barely talk; barely breath. And suddenly, I'd be healed again...just so they could do it over. And Furiad, at the end of every day...every one...he'd come and make me an offer to take me out of there...if I would be his servant. And every day, I told him to stick it right up his holy righteous ass. For the entire 300 years, I told him. | „ |
— Annael, about her punishment |
Eventually, because of her lack of being a worthy angel, Furiad locked Annael away into Heaven's Dungeon as punishment. She was locked in her cell for 300 years and although she was tortured every day by other angels, specifically Dominions, Furiad often came only once every year to torture her, but not kill her. And at the end of every day, Annael was tortured, Furiad came to her cell and offer to take her out of Heaven's prison if she were to be "his servant". But Annael resisted for all those 300 years and never gave in.
Freedom[]
Becoming Oracle's protege[]
“ | One time, he went too far...and almost killed me. The next second, greatest thing happened: Oracle came into my cell. He got Furiad to back off and sent him away. Oracle helped me, healed me... and took me under his wings. After I walked with him right out of my cell, I felt so happy that it was arguably the proudest moment of my entire existence. In that moment, I felt utter and complete freedom. I felt... hope. My faith was restored. | „ |
— Annael, about being set free |
Prior to the Civil War in Heaven between Oracle and Michael, following the Original Angels recent return to Heaven, Oracle came to Heaven's dungeon to see how it was and heard Furiad torturing Annael. As he went to see, he saw that Furiad almost killed Annael and before he could take action, Annael struck back at Furiad. And when Furiad again was about to kill her, Oracle then stepped in and stopped Furiad and thus sent him away. Then he healed Annael of her scares. He sent her off with several virtues to be healed. Once Oracle had defied Michael and started a civil war in Heaven, Oracle visited Annael took her in as his protege, to which the young angel gladly accepted. Since then, Annael has been by his side every step of the way, aiding him with his campaign against Michael and shadowing him as well.

While she tries to open it, only when touching the container does she see images and flashes she does not understand. When Oracle returns to find Annael on the ground and rather afraid, he then comforts the young angel while finding the chamber open.
Annael then asks him what is in there. As Oracle closes the compartment, he only says "Something I haven't carried in eons. And something I swore I would never wield again." He then asks Annael to not say anything about what happened or what she saw.
Season 2[]
Personality[]
“ | Mia: What kind of angel are you? You seem...different. Annael: In many ways, I am. |
„ |
— Annael and Mia in Celestial Usurpation |
Being one of Heaven's youngest Malakhim, Annael is very strong, determined, loyal, brave, kind-hearted, feisty, and soulful but is also a snarky, aggressive, stubborn, reckless, impulsive, competitive, naive, and edgy celestial being. Despite all of their doubts of her, she has been shown to be extremely loyal to her fellow angels, as they are her family, and is willing to fight for her loved ones to ensure that they're safe, as evidenced by her immediate insistence on rescuing Oracle from a life-and-death fight with the Turok-Han Queen and risking death to save him as well from the Turok-Han Queen who was attacking him. However, she is known for her outspoken nature and is not afraid to call out those who she believes are in the wrong, whether they are someone she respects like Ariel, or a relative stranger, even one in a position of authority. As a testament to her bravery, Anneal was even brave enough to angrily yell at Oracle when he tried to calm and ensure her of what she can potentially do. A remarkable feat as Oracle was significantly older and more powerful, as well as being highly intimidating, despite his kindness among angels.
Additionally, being Oracle's protégée, she has proven to no longer be afraid of her original fears, such as her superiors like Powers, Cherubim, and even the Archangels. As she herself commented to Hester and even Zachariah how Oracle would react if Annael was hurt, in danger, or even killed. When it comes to God, Annael still has faith in Him, unlike most angels. This, along with her determination to prove herself, has caused other angels to label her as weak, ignorant, and/or naive, but also peculiar and ambitious. Apparently, Annael has extremely strong willpower and sense of self, as she was able to resist 300 years of torture under the angels, despite the depression she felt, without giving in to Furiad's offer, highly impressing the likes of Oracle.
Much like Ariel, Annael is unquestionably loyal to Oracle and sees him as the angels' savior, mainly for defeating Lucifer as well as standing up to and defeating Michael, but also admires Oracle's bravery, wisdom, and power. She has been known to get angry from others insulting Oracle, as she once tried to hurt a reaper disgracing his memory. Annael can be irritated by humans like other angels but is tolerant to a point and also finds them interesting most of the time. She appears to seem at least weary of Rayne and Mia as they sometimes get violent around the other angels but seems to have no ill-feelings towards Sidney or the others for that matter. Annael believes anything can be learned from humans and believes all the emotions they feel are for humans and angels alike. She also firmly believes in a code as when Mia wants to use violence towards a reaper, Annael tries to stop her to allow Oracle to do so instead. Her belief in the angel's code, however, can block her judgment as she was willing to kill two angels who didn't want to return to Heaven until Oracle stopped her. When Oracle was "killed" by Michael, Annael at first was shocked, almost petrified, when she saw Michael fatally struck Oracle and later when she was alone, she cried. Even during Oracle's funeral, while his body was burning, Annael did not at all speak and had a facial expression that appeared almost emotionless. However, once Oracle was revealed to be alive, Annael was overjoyed and she even embraced him when she saw him again.
Physical Appearance[]
As an angel, Annael's true form is very beautiful but also hazardous, overwhelming, dangerous, and terrifying, and seeing her true form and hearing her real voice can cause deafness, blindness, and even death to humans, witches, monsters, and demons. As an angel, she possesses a pair of black, mockingjay-like wings with patches of orange-yellow stream-like shapes on them.
Human physically, Annael is a beautiful, petite, young-aged human girl with brown eyes and chest-length, brownish-brunette hair. Many humans have been seen being attracted to her. Outfit wise, at one point in the past, Annael wore a red, sleeveless, knee-length dress with a cut up, brown shirt and black, mid-leg length leather boots.
In the 21st century, following her releases from her 300-year imprisonment, Annael now wears different types of outfits. Her wardrobe includes jeans, tank tops and/or shirts (including colored), belts, boots, arm warmers, gloves, and jackets. At one point during a Luma Megare with Hester, Annael wore a grey-colored tank-top, fitted cargo pants with a thin belt, and combat calf boots.
Powers and Abilities[]
Long before becoming Oracle's protégée, Annael was implied to have been a strong and powerful angel in her own right. She possessed the standard powers and abilities of a Malakhim. However, as a common angel - particularly one of comparatively low rank compared to other Malakhim such as Amenadiel - her powers were not quite potent but were enough so to outmatch younger demons and lesser monsters.
- Malakhim Physiology: Despite being rather young and weak compared to other angels, Annael was nevertheless a relatively powerful angel in her own right. Though not as strong as a majority of other celestial beings, she was powerful enough to outmatch Evil Spirits and lesser monsters.
- Vast Power: Though not as powerful as most other angels, as a Malakhim, Annael was endowed with a great amount of power, enough to injure Lucifer's shadow self.
- Angelic Possession: As a celestial being, Annael requires a human vessel to walk naturally upon the Earth. By God's decree, she requires the human's spoken consent to inhabit their body.
- Astral Perception: Even amidst a large congregation of people, Annael was able to see and recognize Lucifer's shadow-self.
- Chronokinesis: Like all angels, although it is not easy (even with Heaven's powers at her disposal), Annael was able to slow down time when on Earth. Additionally, she can travel through time, in either direction and take others with her. However, this is a very difficult ability to master with or without Heaven's assistance.
- Healing: Annael used her power as a healer; curing birth defects and terminal illnesses as well as healing the crippled, restoring sight to the blind, and clearing up scar tissue all with a touch.
- Holy White Light: Like many angels, Annael can unleash a powerful, blinding light from the palm of her hand. This light can kill most monsters, creatures, and demons. When Annael came to rescue Lucia, she blasted down a door with white light. Additionally, she was able to wound Lucifer's shadow self.
- Invisibility: Annael once rendered herself invisible to hide from a group of vampires.
- Smiting: Like all angels, Annael possesses the ability to smite, which she did with an Evil Spirit.
- Super Strength: Being an angel, Annael was stronger than humans, hunters, slayers, spirits, most monsters, and most demons. However, her strength is somewhat weaker compared to higher celestials. She was shown to be stronger than an Evil Spirit; able to single-handedly knock one into a wall with enough force to incapacitate him for a few moments.
- Telekinesis: Annael once threw a dresser with enough force to knock out a human.
- Telepathy: Like all angels, Annael heard other angels' conversations in her mind. Annael can tune in to Angel Radio as well as hear the prayers of anyone in the world. She was able to hear the prayer of a human who was being troubled by a demon as well as hear Angel Radio when they discovered the dead cupid Lucifer had slain.
- Dream Walking: Annael can enter a humans dream.
- Teleportation: Anna can instantly transport herself to anywhere on Earth without occupying the space in between, so long as the said location isn’t sigil protected.
- Immortality: As an angel, Annael is an eternal being; her possession keeps her vessel physically strong, flawlessly healthy, and forever exempt from the passing of time. She is immune to age & illness as well as most forms of physical harm on earth.
- Invulnerability: Annael's presence renders her vessel all but impervious to permanent harm by earthly means. When she was stabbed with a sword, Annael seemed mostly unfazed, only spitting up a small amount of blood and pulling the sword out of her chest. Only higher celestials such as archangels or weapons forged in Heaven may kill her. Primordial Beings, Seraphim, and Archangels and may end her with ease.
- Regeneration: Like all angels, Anael possesses innate powers of instantaneous healing when inhabiting a vessel. This also renders her body impervious to diseases and poisons. She was able to heal from the shoulder wound Adina gave her in their first encounter in relatively short order and later the beating Adina gave her in revenge for Daniel's death.
- Limited Cosmic Awareness: Being an angel, Annael has a greater understanding of the Multiverse than humans, monsters and most demons. She knew of the angel banishing sigil, some of the oldest demons, and also the demons' plans for the apocalypse.
- Magical Knowledge: Annael at one point created an Enochian sigil out of her blood that she used to temporarily banish fallen angels.
- Vast Power: Though not as powerful as most other angels, as a Malakhim, Annael was endowed with a great amount of power, enough to injure Lucifer's shadow self.
As a Malakhim, Annael possesses the standard powers and abilities inherent in all angels. However, becoming Oracle's protégée somehow gives Annael more rank, status, and power than she ever previously had before. Therefore, despite being one of the youngest Malakhim in all of existence, thus making her one of the youngest angels in all of Heaven, she has since become considerably more powerful, proving to have grown to become one of the strongest and most powerful angels in all of the Host of Heaven to appear in the series, and possesses traits not seen in most other average angels, even other Malakhim. She can now destroy a variety of different beings that she couldn't before. During a fight with Furiad when he asked how Annael defeated him, she commented that she is "new and improved". Metatron stated that she is a "transcendent malakhim", meaning that Annael is a malakhim with almost primordial-like proportions. Even when Oracle was "supposedly dead", she still possessed these powers. This makes Annael one of the most powerful beings, let alone, angels to appear in the series.
- Advanced Malakhim Physiology: Although one of the youngest Malakhim, Annael is very powerful. Considering the fact that she is one of the strongest and most powerful angels in the history of all creation, her powers far outclass that of other angels, except the Powers and the Higher Angels. She can be challenged and is rivaled by other Malakhim at their peaks, is exceeded only by the Powers, and surpassed only by the Higher Angels and the Primordial Beings. However, since becoming Oracle's protégée, Annael has become exceptionally more powerful, enough so that not only is she superior to other Malakhim, but she rivals the Powers and even the Cherubim at their peaks.
- Cosmic Knowledge: Being an angel, Annael possesses a higher level of knowledge compared to humans, giving her vast knowledge of many things, such as the Earth, humans, monsters, spirits, demons, and most of her own kind, as well as the Multiverse. Additionally, since having become Oracle's protégée, Annael has been granted more knowledge than ever before, allowing her to become aware of many things that happen in the Multiverse that she didn't prior to being promoted, things that angels under the Higher Angels are not aware of.
- Heightened Senses: Annael possesses enhanced senses to a cosmic level. She has an acute sense of smell heightened to the point where she can identify people by smelling their body, bone or by their blood. She can also identify people by sniffing their genes and hormones as well. She can even smell humans from some distance away. Like all angels, because she operates on a different plane of existence, she can see atoms and ions which are impossible for humans to see. She can also hear a human's conversations mile away from them, and she is somehow able to locate any human on the planet and find them, but she can't locate people if they are protected by an Enochian charm or symbol. Annael also has an amazing sense of taste and is able to taste every molecule in a piece of food.
- Supernatural Perception: As an angel, Annael is able to see almost all supernatural activity around her. She can even see Reapers, which remain invisible except to those they are seeking, and can also see Demons and Hellhounds. Annael can also sense any location, being, or object not protected by Enochian Symbols. This perception also extends to electromagnetic waves and can decipher radio modulation signals, as angels are "multidimensional waves" in her true form and can thus perceive such energies.
- Temporal Awareness: Annael is capable of becoming aware whenever any alteration occurs within the time-stream, allowing her to discern alternate timelines and the like.
- Advanced Power: Although one of Heaven's youngest Malakhim, thus one of the youngest angels in all of God's creation, and due to having become Oracle's protégée, Annael is an immensely powerful angel, superior to other Malakhim, and possesses many vast supernatural powers and abilities, most of which are not seen in other Malakhim. Despite being the youngest warrior angel, Annael has become one of the most powerful angels of Heaven, powerful enough to challenge a Power and even a Cherub. Additionally, becoming Oracle's protégée has made Annael more powerful than she has ever been before.
- Angelic Possession: As an angel, Annael needs to possess a human vessel to physically interact while on Earth. However, like all angels, she also needs the vessel's consent before she can take control.
- Astral Perception: Annael is able to perceive other angels, as well as demons, reapers, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures that are naturally invisible. Even amidst a large congregation of people, Annael was able to recognize Mephistopheles, even when he had a new appearance.
- Astral Projection: Like all angels, Annael can partially project shadowy forms of her wings onto surfaces at will. She did this twice, once to show the Team that she was an angel and once to scare off a group of demons.
- Advanced Chronokinesis: Annael possesses the ability to travel through time in either direction and can even take others with her. Additionally, whereas for normal Malakhim it is not easy, in fact, difficult (even with the powers of Heaven at their disposal), Annael is able to do this more simply than Malakhim and even the Powers. Also, Annael can halt time when on Earth.
- Clairsentience: Annael could detect the presence of the Goblivious while in The Empty, stating she could feel him.
- Electronic Manipulation: Annael can manipulate electrical appliances.
- Advanced Healing: Annael can instantly heal the wounds and diseases of humans, curing birth defects and terminal illnesses as well as healing the crippled, restoring sight to the blind, and clearing up scar tissue all with a touch.
- Advanced Holy White Light: Annael can unleash a powerful, highly concentrated blast of pure energy from the palm of her hands. Annael displayed this ability by using it to blast a door open. In Annael's case, her version of this power is stronger than that of a standard Malakhim, enough to wound and banish even higher angels (excluding the Archangels and Oracle). She also used this power to destroy a room full of monsters and demons.
- Invisibility: Annael is able to become completely invisible to the naked eye of humans, hunters, creatures, and monsters.
- Protective Charm: As an angel, Annael can protect an individual from most forms of physical damage. This degree of protection is linked to an angel's power.
- Advanced Pyrokinesis: Annael has displayed the ability to generate, manipulate, and extinguish fire much more effectively than before.
- Reality Warping: Although the youngest and weakest Malakhim angel of Heaven, Annael is not only powerful enough to bend reality to her will to some extent, she also possesses quite powerful levels of reality-warping for a Malakhim. She was able to remove the existence of a door to prevent a vampire from escaping a room.
- Resurrection: As an angel, Annael can resurrect humans back from the dead.
- Advanced Smiting: Perhaps her most versatile and terrifying weapon, Annael possesses a smiting ability that allows her to effortlessly kill any demon, monster, lower angel, and even humans with a touch. It is often exhibited when placing her hands or palms on her adversaries' face, forehead, or mouth.
- Spell Casting: As an angel, Annael has extensive knowledge of Enochian symbols and spells which she has used for a variety of effects. She once drew an Enochian Devil's Trap that completely suppressed and bounded the Greater Demon Mephistopheles. She also knew of symbols that could banish or ward off angels as well as being capable of casting various tracking spells.
- Advanced Supernatural Speed: Annael is able to move and react much faster than human, hunters, ghosts, monsters, most gods, most demons, and most angels.
- Advanced Supernatural Agility: Annael possesses celestial agility, allowing her to perform incredible parkour movements as well as balance effortlessly on thin obstacles.
- Advanced Supernatural Reflexes: As an angel, Annael possesses celestial reflexes and is able to react much faster than humans, hunters, monsters, and most demons and catch any object thrown at her. She once caught an arrow shot at her and also even caught an angel blade.
- Advanced Supernatural Strength: Despite being one of the youngest Malakhim, her status as Oracle's protégée has made Annael much stronger than ever before and she uses her advanced power to dramatically increase the physical strength threshold of her hosts, more so than other Malakhim. She possesses enough increased strength that she can leap unnatural distances, lift objects far beyond the limits of human strength, and is even far stronger than humans, hunters, slayers, ghosts, monsters, most regular to mid-level demons, and even most angels. She can snap a man's neck even by accident and can easily break free from chain restraints. She also once proved skilled enough to fight Furiad, her former superior. Even against fellow angels, she has proven to be superior to other Malakhim. She once punched Zachariah hard enough to make fly through a concrete wall.
- Advanced Telekinesis: Annael is a more powerful telekinetic than before, able to move beings and objects with her mind with almost no effort. She is also able to use this power in a more aggressive manner like demons. She once used this to pin a low-level demon to a ceiling.
- Telepathy: Annael can read the minds of humans, monsters, and other lower angels with ease. Additionally, like all angels, can tune in to Angel Radio as well as hear the prayers of anyone in the world. She was able to hear Angel Radio when they discovered the dead cupid Mephistopheles had slain.
- Advanced Dream Walking: Annael can appear in people's dreams. She usually uses this to communicate, when she can't find the person she's looking for or want to talk privately.
- Sedation: Annael is able to render humans unconscious with a touch.
- Teleportation: As an angel, Annael is able to efficiently travel from one place to another, instantly, without occupying the space in between. She can also do so silently if she wished, as shown when she appeared behind Mephistopheles and caught him off-guard to kill him. Additionally, unlike most other angels, she is able to enter places that are carved with Enochian Sigils whereas other angels would not be able to.
- Voice Mimicry: Annael can imitate, perfectly mimic, the voice of mortals.
- Wall-Crawling: Annael has been known to climb walls with her bare hands.
- Wings: As an angel, like all angels, Annael possesses a pair of large, bronze-colored, mockingjay-like wings.
- Flight: Annael's wings allow her to fly at exceptionally fast speeds, faster than a majority of other angels.
- Wing Shields: Annael's wings are very strong and protect her from knives, arrows, swords, and gunfire.
- Wing Blades: The tip feather's of Annael's wings are very sharp and can slice humans, monsters, extraterrestrials, and demons clean in half.
- Immortality: As an angel, Annael is an eternal being. She is immortal, can live forever, does not age and she cannot die or be killed by diseases or Earthly weapons. Even her vessel does not age a single day once possessed. She is also immune to aging, illness, and virtually any form of physical harm, such as Earthly Weapons. Despite being the youngest Malakhim created by God, she is over 4 billion years old and is therefore one of the oldest angels, let alone beings, to exist.
- Invulnerability: Annael cannot be killed by any conventional weapons and is impervious to permanent harm by earthly means. When she was stabbed with a mortal sword, Annael seemed unfazed and pulling the sword out of her chest. She can only be harmed or killed by something angelic, such as Angel Blades and other weapons forged in Heaven as well as Holy Fire, Higher Angels, and the Primordial Beings.
- Regeneration: Like all angels, Annael can heal from any wound instantaneously. She was able to heal from the shoulder wound Adina gave her in their first encounter in relatively short order and later the beating Adina gave her in revenge for Daniel's death. Additionally, if Annael's vessel is damaged, it will repair itself nearly instantly unless the wound was caused by angelic weaponry.
- Advanced Supernatural Durability: Annael is able to take more damage than a majority of beings. After she was run over by a bus, she quickly recovered and showed no signs of being damaged.
- Advanced Supernatural Stamina: Being an angel, Annael can exert herself at capacities much greater than any normal human can. In addition, she never tires, and she does not require food, water, oxygen, or sleep to sustain herself.
- Cosmic Knowledge: Being an angel, Annael possesses a higher level of knowledge compared to humans, giving her vast knowledge of many things, such as the Earth, humans, monsters, spirits, demons, and most of her own kind, as well as the Multiverse. Additionally, since having become Oracle's protégée, Annael has been granted more knowledge than ever before, allowing her to become aware of many things that happen in the Multiverse that she didn't prior to being promoted, things that angels under the Higher Angels are not aware of.
While briefly empowered by Eartheia, the youngest Seraph, Annael displayed a few powerful abilities during this period. Annael only possessed these powers while Eartheia channeled her power into the Malakhim and lost them once the connection was broken.
- Superior Strength: During this period, Annael became strong enough to effortlessly restrain the Greater Demon Mephistopheles, who had easily beaten her in a fight when she was relying on only her advanced Malakhim abilities.
- Power Negation: During this period, Annael was able to render the Prince of Hell Mephistopheles completely powerless.
- Pyrokinesis: During this period, Annael was able to burn the Prince of Hell Mephistopheles to ashes, killing him, a feat not previously seen performed by any other character.
Skills and Talents[]
- Basic Hunting Skills: Due to her time spent with Oracle, Annael has displayed a basic level of hunting knowledge and skill, such as using devil's traps to contain demons she captures and on a few occasions, using fake IDs convincingly enough to fool law enforcement in a similar manner to a hunter.
- Expert Tactician: Something she learned from Oracle, Annael has become a highly skilled tactician and is able to analyze environments and predict every inch of it.
- Heavenly Host Training: As Heaven's youngest Malakhim, Annael has gone through the basic levels of training of an angel of God. However, due to others disbelieving her, Annael's abilities in combat, while just about sufficient, were deemed too little due to her lack of confidence and she was therefore locked away in Heaven's Dungeon and suffered extreme depression after 300 years of torture, which further hampered her skill, preventing her from fighting back against other angels such as Furiad, Hester, etc. But when Oracle returned to Heaven, he was impressed by how Annael withstood 300 years of brutal torment and even confidently stood up to and even stabbed Furiad, her former superior, and made Annael his protégée. Since then, she has been training under Oracle and he even said Annael only lacked confidence and can become one of the greatest angels ever, despite her initial doubt of it, even saying she has true prodigy talent that he can sense. Therefore, she has since received one of the highest levels of training an angelic warrior of God can achieve. Annael's combat skills are now one of the greatest in Heaven, far exceeding other Malakhim, the Powers, and potentially matching the Cherubim.
- Expert Leader: Despite being a young angel, Annael is a very capable leader, able to lead a band of angels against a hive of demons and monsters.
- Skilled Fighter: After becoming Oracle's protégée, Annael became a highly skilled fighter, even when unarmed. She was capable of holding off several Turok-Han Drones, the greater demon Mephistopheles, as well as fighting and holding her own against Zachariah during a battle with him, easily emerging victorious after slicing him with an angel blade and dropping an elevator car on him. However, Annael's combat abilities as an angel have also been shown to be able to defeat another Malakhim but appear to be somewhat inferior compared to older angels and is far inferior to the archangels and seraphim, due to her status as Heaven's youngest Malakhim. Despite this, she seems to be far more flexible than a majority of other angel and is endowed with comparable pure strength. She was shown to be powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with and disable her former superior Furiad in single combat, as well as other supernatural creatures. Despite any disadvantages she may have with more powerful begins, her combat skills capabilities have allowed her to defeat and even destroy over a dozen enemy demons and monsters, more than making up for this shortfall.
- Expert Swordswoman: While not as physically strong as some of her angelic siblings, Annael is highly skilled in swordplay, especially with angelic blades, as she was shown fighting with a pair of dual blades. Having defeated several angels, even few more powerful than her, on many occasions, despite being outnumbered, Annael is one of the most talented angels in using swords.
- High-Level Intellect: Annael is highly intelligent and wise, much more so than most other angels. However, her intelligence and wisdom is surpassed only by the Higher Angels, including Oracle.
- Indomitable Will: Annael is relentlessly driven to achieve her goals, no matter the cost. Annael stated that her brutal torture in Heaven's Dungeon almost killed her, but her desire for redemption kept her going. Annael also remained conscious after being bitten my a Turok-Han Hive Guardian, displaying no fear at the prospect of death.
- Multilingual: As an angel, in addition to her native language Enochian, Annael is capable of speaking a variety of other languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, French, Armenian, Japanese, etc.
- Skilled Firearms: Despite being an angel, Annael is highly skilled in using firearms.
- Talented Singer: Surprisingly, Annael is shown to be a talented singer, as she once went on a stage in a bar/restaurant and sang "Small World" by Idina Menzel. She also once sang, "In the Arms of an Angel".
Equipment[]
- Angelic Blades: As an angel, and therefore a warrior of God, Annael utilizes duel angel blades that she uses to fight supernatural creatures.
- Angelic Daggers: In addition to her angel blades, Annael possesses a seemingly endless supply of small angelic daggers she conceals in her belt and boots. Though they are small compared to her angelic blades, they are however powerful enough to injure and even kill monsters, demons, and even other angels of similar rank.
Weaknesses[]
Although she is a powerful angel in her own right, Annael possesses the standard weaknesses of a Malakhim.
Harming, Trapping, or Misleading[]
- Holy Fire: Like all angels, Annael can be trapped by holy fire.
- High-Tier Demons: As a Malakhim, Annael is generally no match for demons like Mephistopheles, however, she has proven skilled enough to fight other beings stronger than her. As such, Annael once was able to scare a powerful demon with a threat of power. But in the Season 12 finale, Annael was killed by Mephistopheles. However, following her resurrection, during her third confrontation with Mephistopheles, she was able to defeat him.
- Powers: As her superiors, Annael can be hurt by the powers, but now being Oracle's protégée, she is no longer afraid of them and is strong enough to fight them. She has fought two members of the Powers, Furiad and Hester, and defeated them both.
- Cherubim: As just a regular angel, Annael is vulnerable to Cherubim as shown by her subservience to them. However, she (somewhat) lost this weakness when he became Oracle's protégée, as she is no longer afraid of them and has proven strong enough to fight them.
- Turok-Hans: Like all angels, Annael is vulnerable to the Turok-Hans as well as their bite, as they are almost as old as angels in general.
Banishing or Destroying[]
Beings[]
- Archangels: Even as Oracle's protégée, Annael is no match for the archangels.
- Seraphim: Even as Oracle's protégée, Annael is no match for the seraphim. However, she has proven willing to fight them.
- Oracle: As the Original Angel, Annael is vulnerable to and not match for Oracle.
- Primordial Beings: They can kill any being.
Weapons[]
- Angel Banishing Sigil: As an angel, Annael can be banished by the sigil.
- Angel Blade: Can kill any angel.
- Archangel Blade: Stronger version of the angel blade.
- Death's Scythe: Can kill any angel.
- Lim 'E Light: Not only will Annael be killed with this weapon, but she will also be eradicated from all of existence.
Relationships[]
Annael and Oracle[]
“ | I may be the youngest Malakhim created by God...I may be hot-headed, determined, and stubborn...I may have even failed at being an angel more times than I can count and was locked away in Heaven's dungeon for 300 years because of it. But I have proved time and time again that I am willing to do anything, whatever the cost, to atone for my mistakes. And, I'm honored to be at your side, Oracle. Michael and Lucifer...they failed you. I won't. I swear to you, from now up until the end of time, I will always listen to you and follow anything you order. I won't fail you. I promise. | „ |
— Oracle to Annael |
Oracle is Annael's oldest brother, direct superior, and mentor. When Oracle first met Annael, she was just a little one, by angel standards. During training sessions before the Rebellion, Annael greatly admired Oracle for his braveness, handsomeness, power, skill, and efficiency as a teacher and Oracle, while not quite interacting with her directly, gave her and her fellow Malakhim brethren and sistren advice. Sometime after returning to Heaven for the first time since his 200,000 year departure, Oracle witnessed Annael being tortured by her former superior Furiad for her disobedience. When Furiad tried to kill her when she struck back with his own blade, Oracle was not only less than thrilled but was also enraged to see this act. Therefore, he refused to sit back and watch and stopped Furiad, saving Annael in the process and freeing her, who was rather excited to see him. Despite not being close to him, Annael felt comfortable enough around the impressively intimidating figure of the Original Angel, enough so that she opened up to him rather emotionally about not doing entirely as she was told, if at all. Oracle, taking pity on her, remembered that he himself for a time was similar, as he has said that he has been known to be, "the kind of person that gave people what they needed, not always what they asked for." Knowing that having someone to help her could change everything, Oracle offered his aid to Annael, becoming her mentor. He then taught her how to fight with her angelic abilities, encouraging her to trust her instincts and assuring her that he was confident she would be able to kill to defend herself if it came down to it. Over time, Annael has become increasingly more loyal to Oracle and they have also developed a very close sibling relationship. In fact, one could say that Annael is loyal to Oracle almost, if not, just as much as Ariel is. Oracle also often calls her "Young angel".
Annael and Lucia[]
Lucia is Annael's closest friend and younger sister. However, they once had a complicated relationship. Among the many human souls to become an angel, Lucia was tasked with working with Annael. For a long time, Annael and Lucia worked very well together. However, when Annael and Lucia were given an order to do protect a prophet, they disobeyed out of the belief that Lucifer's shadow-self had been manipulating a prophet. Together, the two angels banished the shadow and its demonic minions. When questioned about leaving their post, Annael told the truth, however, out of fear for her superiors, Lucia told a lie they believed to be the real truth, considering the Heavenly Host doubted Annael. As a result, Annael was sent to Heaven's Dungeon whereas Lucia was promoted to becoming one of the Powers for her "honesty and devotion". Since then, Annael has greatly resented Lucia, despite Lucia herself feeling guilty for betraying Annael. When the civil war between Oracle and Michael started and Annael was freed from her 300-year torment, following Oracle's return to Heaven from his 200 millennia departure, Lucia sided with Oracle out of a desire to reconnect with Annael, but also to do what was right. Although Annael still resented Lucia, she was however grateful for Lucia's part in helping Oracle defeat Michael. Following Oracle's ascension, the two often worked together and Annael slowly started to forgive her. After Annael was resurrected by Lucia's prayer following her death, the two angels let go of their old grudge and became close friends once again.
Annael and Hester[]
Hester is Annael's older sister and former superior. However, they are rivals, having shared an antagonistic relationship from time to time. Because Annael was described as an unworthy angel, Hester considered her as such. And even when Oracle chose her as his protégée, Hester was rather angry at how Oracle would take an angel such as Annael under his wings. During Heaven's Civil War between Oracle and Michael, Annael and Hester encountered each other often, ending with the two angels fighting one another, with Hester not only stalemating, but even managed to best Annael twice out of their six altercations, despite her dramatically improved prowess and powers. Even after Oracle was declared the Ruler of Heaven, Hester still held animosity towards Annael. At one point, Annael challenged Hester to a Luma Megare, with Annael narrowly coming out on top. However, rather than killing Hester, Annael spared her out of mercy. Due to this, Hester has slowly starting to act more civil and friendly toward Annael and Annael too returns the favor. After Annael was resurrected, she seems genuinely touched by Hester admitting she felt remorse for failing to kill the demons sent to stop her from helping quick enough to save her from Mephistopheles and humorously said she may even give her a hug, implying they had become friends.
Annael and Furiad[]
“ | I am no longer your plaything, Furiad! I will let you live, but if you ever dare raise a hand against me again, I promise you...that will be the last time you have hands! Now, get the hell out of my sight! | „ |
— Annael to Furiad |
Furiad is Annael's older brother and was also her original superior. For a time, Furiad was impressed with Annael. However, when she displeased him, she was abused by him. After she failed at her post, Furiad locked her away in Heaven's Dungeon for 300 years. And every day, after torturing her, Furiad would offer to take her out of the Dungeon is she would be in a relationship with him, but Annael always refused. And one day, Furiad went too far and almost killed her until Oracle saved her. No longer being Furiad's "plaything", Annael found the courage to stand up to him, especially during both their confrontation in the Civil War and during a Luma Megare. After defeating him in the duel, Annael chose to spare him but also threatened Furiad, shouting at him that if he ever struck at her again, she would kill him.
Trivia[]
- Annael is unquestionably loyal to Oracle, to the point where she was even willing to continue the civil war against Michael when Oracle was "killed". Conversely, Oracle is also very loyal to Annael and taught her how to become a better warrior.
- Surprisingly, Annael seems to enjoy listening to Chopin's Nocturne in C-sharp minor. She has also an apparent affection for pop music, as she inexplicably changes the radio station in the RV to one of these and smiles in satisfaction.
