abel

angel born 12th of july of 1994. his mother believed him to be a cursed being, keeping him locked in a basement for years, trying to "purify him via constant torture. this went on until he came dangerously close to dying and his sister, cait, decided to finally take matters into her own hands and rescue him. his mother died in the process, although abel had been to out of it to remember how it all happenned. she left him in a hospital and fled.

he starts living with amanda, mikaela and cecil in 2016, after spending a good period receiving physical and psychological care.

abel struggles to walk and uses a wheelchair to move around most of time. he can walk short distances (like, at home) using a cane on good days. he is close to nonverbal and although he can speak at times, he prefers to use a SGD program on his phone to communicate most of the time. writing is actually easy for him, it's speaking that is hard. he stims a lot using his hair or trying knots on the ears of a bunny plushie he likes and brings around with him. he only eats very few types of food, most of them bland and without salt. the only stronger flavor he likes is ketchup.

he deals with lots of inner turmoil regarding his mother, sister and the very fact of having been born an angel. he frequently wishes could have been "normal" instead, as he feels his angelhood is the first and only people see him as. the easiest way to get him to resent you is to treat him like a child or like he's incapable of doing bad things.

the portable console cecil gave him is the most precious things he owns and he plays on it daily.

he has long white hair that goes all the way to his knees. he has sparse body hair that is also white. his nails don't grow very well. the front of his body is covered in scars. he is very pale and has lots of freckles. his eyes a downtured and a very dark blue, almost black. he would have had red hair if he had been born a human. he is 155cm tall (5"5').

cecil

human born 24th of november of 1989. identical twin to amanda.

he and his sister have always been close. cecil drifted apart from her for a while during his teenage years, mostly due to feeling inadequade when compared to her, but they started being close again in adulthood. their parents were both deeply religious and both pastors, his sister wanted to follow in their footsteps but he had always been an atheist ever since he could remember and felt like his parents somewhat resented him for it, even if they never spoke it out loud.

he had a falling out with his parents after coming out as trans and left home to live with his then partner. he doesn't talk too much about this period of his life. it took him almost dying for the whole family to whole again.

their parents died in a somewhat suspicious car accident in 2012, after their mom was diagnosed with a type of terminal canced. he genuinely believes it was some form of murder suicide, but there's nothing that can prove it.

he has a huge scar on his abdomen due to a liver transplant he went through. his sister was the live donor. this is, according to him, the main reason stopping him from going through his suicidical tendencies, because he'd feel like amanda would be pissed he just "waster her efforts" like that.

he's still trying to learn to live his live without being in constant dissassociation.

amanda

human born 24th of november of 1989. identical twin to cecil. wife to mikaela.

amanda is someone cares deeply about the people close to her, but that sometimes leads to her trying to shield people too much and being a bit overbearing. it also leads to her hiding her own feelings in order to not "rock the boat" at times. she was the one who slowly got their parents to become accepting people, not only towards cecil but towards herself and her, at the time girlfriend, as well. it wasn't pretty and she too moved away for a good while.

is a social worker, tends to their deceased parent's church, still holding weekly meetings and is also a painter.

mikaela

human born 2nd of january of 1989. wife to amanda.

was high school friends with cecil at first and met amanda through him. she and cecil first became friends due to their shared interest in metal music.

she does research in the physics field in one of the local universities. she's also a teacher there.

mikaela and her then-girfriend lived together (alongside other roomates) for a while straight out of high school due to both of them having falling out with their families. eventually though, things calm down on amanda's end and her parents invite them both to live with them. they have been living in that same house ever since.

she and amanda started dating before mikaela transitioned and both came out (she as trans and her girlfriend as a lesbian) almost at the same time. both of them think of it as a funny story in retrospect. they got married in 2011.

daniel

angel born 10th of may of 1996.

abel's friend and first person he fell in love with. they have met on the internet and have a long distance relationship for a while.

he is a tattoo artist and a bit famous on some social media niches, half due to his work, half due to him being an angel. angels are not exactly common so people tend to obssess over some of them.

theo

human born 6th of april of 1987.

cecil's closest friend. they are in something that can be more easily described as a queerplatonic relationship.

works at a funerary preparing corpses for burial/cremation.

cait

human born 20th of december of 1985. sister to abel.

not much in known about her. abel doesn't feel any resentment towards her and is confused when people imply he should. he mostly remembers her as the only person who was nice to him when his own mother treated him horribly. he refuses to talk about any further details.
