* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: Sera is one of the few transgender characters in the Marvel Universe. She as assigned male at birth and, like all wingless male Angels, enslaved at the temple of the Hierophants and taught magic. However, after she met Angela, she managed to persuade her to take her away from the temple where she could find a way to change her form from male to female. After that, she became Angela's constant companion and love interest [[spoiler:until her death]].

''Angela: Asgard's Assassin'' in a six-issue Franchise/MarvelComics comic book published in 2014-2015. It was written by Creator/KieronGillen and Creator/MargueriteBennet, with art by Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans.
All her life, Angela -- the finest warrior of Heven -- was raised to hate Asgard with every fiber of her being. And now Angela knows the truth about her identity: she is Thor's sister. She is an Asgardian. Cast out of her home and wanting nothing to do with Asgard, Angela must now strike out on her own! But what does Angela have that both Asgard and Heven want? And why are they so eager to get it?

!Tropes in ''Angela: Asgard's Assassin'':
* AnachronicOrder: The book features disjointed flashback and even sometimes stories within stories.
* BackFromTheDead: Subverted with [[spoiler:Sera. She ''isn't'' back from the dead, it's just Malekith pretending to be her. The real Sera is still dead and trapped in Hel.]]
* BattleBallgown: The new costume she gets towards the end of the book. It was literally a wedding dress originally. Though on Angela it looks like fully functional armor, because it adapts to its wearer's idea of beauty, and Angela is, as Sera says, "very stabby."
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: As revealed in this book, female Angels tend to be WingedHumanoid mercenaries (there are some born wingless; they are treated as disabled and second class citizens if not outright slaves), while male Angels (called Anchorites) are not only rare (one in a hundred births), but also physically weaker and wingless. Culturally they are treated as a different [[FantasticCasteSystem caste]] serving in the lowest ranks of the church.
* DeadpanSnarker: In contrast to Angela, Sera is a lot snarkier and frequent remarks on the current situation.
* DrivingQuestion: How did Sera come back from the dead? [[spoiler:She didn't. She's still dead and trapped in Hel, where Angels all go when they die.]]
* LampshadeHanging:
-->'''Sera:''' Hey, you know what would be fun right now, [[InfoDump blatant exposition]].
* {{Transgender}}: Sera is one of the few transgender characters in the Marvel Universe. She as assigned male at birth and, like all wingless male Angels, enslaved at the temple of the Hierophants and taught magic. However, after she met Angela, she managed to persuade her to take her away from the temple where she could find a way to change her form from male to female.
