Gabriel is a very hard-working angel who is quite dedicated to his job. He loves being God's messenger, even if it does take up most of his time. He enjoys feeling useful in any way, and feels rather down when no one needs him. He is always on the lookout for those in need of his loving push. Gabriel is also a very friendly angel, and one of the most relaxed archangels one will meet. He is playful and loves to tease, and sometimes it can be a little dangerous, though, only to those who deserve it. On the other hand, he would never harm an innocent or child. Gabriel loves children, even if he doubts his ability to be a father.
Gabriel is also heavily fascinated with humans. He has walked in their world since the beginning, and he loves their flaws. He was not exactly thrilled when God told him to love them more than Father, but Gabriel did not complain. He began to watch the humans, and took on human characteristics himself. He is one of the more-human angels in the Host. He feels he longs for Earth more and more because of it. This unnerves him. Gabriel makes mistakes just like humans do, and he has sinned like they do. This makes him very tolerant, and Gabriel often tries to look past the bad in people and see the good.

» OVERALL HISTORICAL BACKGROUND '
Gabriel is an archangel who is said to be God's Messenger. He is also often called the Left Hand of God and sits upon is along with Metatron. He is said to first appear in the Book of Daniel by human knowledge to explain Daniel's visions and also foretold the coming of Jesus and John the Baptist, but this is not so. Gabriel has been alive since the beginning of time when God created His angels. He is also specifically referred to as a male, though many moderns portray him as a female or androgynous.
When Gabriel told Zechariah of his future son, John the Baptist, the man was amazed. He thought his wife, Elizabeth, was too old to bear children. Gabriel reassured him by saying "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news." Soon after he found Mary and said, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy," and proceeded to tell her of Jesus Christ.
Gabriel is also mentioned in the Book of Enoch as a messenger between humanity and God. Gabriel is said to often appear to prophets more-so than normal individuals.
Enoch 10:13, Gabriel was to"Go to the biters, to the reprobates, to the children of fornication, the offspring of the Watchers, from among men; bring them forth and excite them against one another. Let them perish under mutual slaughter; for length of days shall not be theirs."
And so, Gabriel instigated wars among the Giants (the children of the Watchers).
Enoch 20:7 says that Gabriel presides over "Ikisat" (the fiery serpents) or Seraphim, Cherubim, and paradise, while Enoch 40:9 states that Gabriel presides over "all that is powerful."
Gabriel and Mother Mary are said to work closely together to minister to sensitive children. Gabriel assists in conceptions, adoptions, pregnancies, births, and the raising of children. This is why it's said he is more feminine than the brawny male strength of Michael. He also mentors adults who wish to help nurture the young and be responsible for them.
The archangel is usually portrayed with a large copper trumpet, to symbolize clearly trumpeting messages from God. Though, in English-speaking cultures, this is said to be the horn Gabriel will blow in the end of times. While he enjoys nurturing children he also helps earthly messengers such as teachers, writers, artists, and actors. He is a Heavenly agent who encourages one to polish their skills. If one needs help, then he gives a loving push in the right direction.
Each angel's halo is a different color. Gabriel's is said to be a copper-color like his trumpet. If one were to see flashes or sparkles of copper light, or if they were suddenly attracted to this metal, then it is a sign that Gabriel is with you. Copper is the main symbol of Gabriel, in general.
Gabriel is a hardworking, tenacious angel who promotes the same work ethic as those who ask for help. Despite this, everyone has their secrets, and Gabriel does, too. What are these secrets? The Messenger will never tell. The only thing he will admit to is concerning his appearance and having to vanish for quite some time. Another angel had taken over for him, taking on his face and doing his job. He refuses to explain why he had to vanish for the amount of time, but Gabriel has returned. For better or worse.

It was a relief to be free of the poison that had riddled her body for weeks after her arrival in this strange dimension. There were so many different things here that threw her into a loop of confusion or unneeded emotion. One of these things being that she found out her father still lived in this world, though Muse was unsure for how long. Technically, he wasn't her father. No, her father was long dead. This was an alternate form of him which held no relation to her whatsoever and perhaps never would. Muse did not mind that, though she still felt the need to protect this alternate Gabriel from an inevitable death. She wondered how much the Ramiel of this world knew. He would be shocked to find how much Heaven could hide from him despite his work in the Akashic Record.
Her hand subtly rubbed the scar between a set of her lower ribs where Mammon had stabbed her. Muse's blood began to boil. She longed so much for the comfort of her home. Even looking into the stars did not help. It was so far away.
Muse's thoughts could not get far before a familiar yelp caught her attention. She paused and tilted her head in the direction of the noise, and found another voice, this one slurred from alcohol, was rapidly rasping out orders. Wallet. The voice wanted a wallet. A mugger? A drunk mugger, no less. Who was he stealing from? The yelp was way too familiar in how it was so whiny and high-pitched. The problem was she couldn't place it with any females she was aquainted with here. This called for an investigation.
The sky was black with night and no stars dotted the city sky. The pollution and clouds both blocked out the beautiful dots that many enjoyed gazing upon. Only the street lights kept the city illuminated enough for those wanting to wander at this hour. Personally, this was nothing new to Muse, though she hated it. She felt the need to soon visit the countryside where the air was clean and stars bright. She was feeling rather sick of the city.
Her thoughts halted when she came to an alleyway and spotted the scene at hand. A drunk man, who looked reminiscent of a poor hobo, held a younger male against a building's brick wall with a knife to his throat. This wasn't just any young man off the streets. It happened to be that strange, yet oddly amusing guy named Christian she had met not too long ago. Muse felt she'd blown his mind after everything that'd happened, apparently in more ways than one. It had been a mistake to kiss him. Now he proclaimed her as his girlfriend. It wasn't funny.
"Oh my," she chirped cheerfully, "what do we have here? I think you've outdone yourself this time, White Knight! Now you've turned to being pursued by regular human beings? Must I put a leash on you?"
Her outburst caught the attention of the mugger, who turned a hazed glare in her direction. Clearly he wanted her to get lost, and he thought her a regular human. At a height of 5' 1" Muse did not seem so dangerous. Most men towered over her, and at her appearance of an 18-year-old young woman they laughed at the idea of her having the ability to be a threat. It was lovely. Muse's lips curled up into a smile. She loved it when people underestimated her. It made the shock value more worth witnessing.
"What's wrong? Did I interuppt your drunken raid?" Her head cocked to the side at the man. "You should really learn to get a job. Mugging poor Christian here won't get you far. You see, he may be harmless, but he's got some tough friends that will hunt you down. Like me." Hazel eyes growing dark as she lifted her hand she stared the mugger straight in the eyes. "Go away."
With a flick of her hand the mugger was suddenly gone. All that was left now was Muse and Christian.
