History Main / FemaleAngelMaleDemon

* Played straight in ''Manga/BlackButler'' with the male demon Sebastian and the female angel, Angela. [[spoiler:That is, until near the end of the first season of the anime, when Ash, the Queen's butler/bodyguard is revealed to be [[GenderBender Angela in male form]].]] The angels in this series are {{Knight Templar}}s and LightIsNotGood.
* ''ChildOfKamiariMonth'': Shiro and Yasha are the Shinto equivalents -- Shiro being an emissary of the ''amatsukami'' sent to guide Kanna on her quest to collect offerings from the ''kunitsukami'', and Yasha being an {{oni}} descended from demon-gods who'd previously held the duty before being supplanted by Idaten.

* The Angel and Devil from ''Webcomic/NowhereBoy''.

* In ''ComicBook/NewGods'' lore, the good New Gods use a piece of sapient technology called a "Mother Box" while the evil Apoktaliptians use a "Father Box".

* {{Averted|Trope}} in the Creator/RichardBurton ''Doctor Faustus'', in which the Devil is played by Creator/ElizabethTaylor.

* For a costume party, ''Series/OneLifeToLive'''s Cassie and Andrew dressed up as this. Ironic, as he was a minister.
* ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'' has a woman claiming to be the Creator appear in one episode. The Keeper of the Underworld has a masculine voice and at one point appears in the flesh as a little boy. It's heavily implied they used to be an item.

* Averted, somewhat, in ''VideoGame/{{Darksiders}}'', in which both the angels and the demons are mostly male, and the angels can be either masculine (Abaddon) or feminine (Azrael). There are also notable females on both sides, the angels having Uriel, and the demons having Silitha, Tiamat, Lilith. It should be noted, though, that many Darksiders characters are based on figures from Babylonian/Greek/Roman/Judeo-Christian mythology.

* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' centers around a demon-based cartoon character, Bendy. His DistaffCounterpart, Alice Angel, is introduced after the first chapter.
* ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite'': {{Downplayed|Trope}} with the [[AGodIsYou player character deity]]. It doesn't have a physical body, but if it becomes solidly Good on the KarmaMeter, its few snippets of spoken dialogue have a female voice, whereas they're done in a deep male VoiceOfTheLegion if Evil.

* Seraphim and Asmodeus in ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}''.

* ''Webcomic/{{Jack|DavidHopkins}}'' Farrago and Jack, though while she is an angel he's more the AnthropomorphicPersonification of the [[SevenDeadlySins Sin]] of Wrath than a "demon".

* Angel and Devil in ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''. Due to the limitations of the UsefulNotes/PlayStation, many people came away with the impression that Angel had epic sideburns, blurring the issue somewhat.

The primary reason for this is that angels are supposedly beautiful, refined, merciful and noble creatures, while demons (even if they are being portrayed as AffablyEvil) are usually ugly, rude, crude, callous and mean. [[MarsAndVenusGenderContrast Traditionally]], [[WomenAreWiser the former traits are considered feminine]] while [[AllAbusersAreMale the latter traits are considered masculine]].

Oddly enough, most classical visually artistic depictions of Abrahamic angels such as Michael or Gabriel are those of men. Youthful, powerful, admirable, virile men. This is in spite of the fact that there's supposedly no description of their gender in scriptures. Moreover, those angels' names have always been used to name boys.

Often, even when an angel is portrayed as being male, he will still be played by a woman. {{Aver|ted Trope}}sions generally seem to occur when heaven is represented as some kind of [[CelestialBureaucracy bureaucracy]]. When PlayedForLaughs, the relationship between the angels and demons will be portrayed as a friendly rivalry that inevitably leads to [[RuleThirtyFour se...]][[LastSecondWordSwap um...]][[OppositesAttract romance]].

* One ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' episode has two guardians of [[EldritchAbomination The Hollow]], a female angel representing Good and a male demon representing Evil. Of course in this case it only appears to be symbolic, as both guardians are neutral, having dedicated their lives to preventing The Hollow from being released by either side.

* Necro and Undine, Dizzy's Wings from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear''.

* In ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry'' Dante and Vergil are Nephilim, a.k.a. the sons of a demon (Sparda) and an angel (Eva), and thus have incredible {{Hybrid Power}}s. Albeit the game has some female demons too.

** This also extends to their WeaponOfChoice. Fi is a [[TheStoic stoic]], almost computer-like feminine spirit that inhabits and transforms into the Goddess/Master Sword. Ghirahim is a flamboyant, overly emotional masculine spirit that does the same for the Demon Tribe Swords of Despair.

* {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''Film/Bedazzled2000'', in which Satan is played by Creator/ElizabethHurley. She plays chess with a man implied to be God. [[spoiler:The man appeared earlier as Elliot's cellmate]]. Extra nice because while Hurley acts as MsFanservice and plays up the sexy a lot, she's not really a {{Horny Devil|s}}, but just using another form of manipulation (and {{Fanservice}}). And at one point, she appears as a masculine devil, possibly implying that gender is not a big part of what God or the Devil are.

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', the Bureaucratic Devas and the celestial [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0193.html here]] are both female, and the IFCC Directors and Qarr are all male. Sabine gets a pass for being a {{Horny Devil|s}}.

Couple this trope with AllMenArePerverts and you get HornyDevils. Applicable to [[AllWomenAreLustful gender inversions]] as well, as said above. If people ship the two, that's AngelDevilShipping.

* Inverted in ''Manga/MyBalls'', the demons (including Satan) are female, EvilIsSexy HornyDevils. There are only two angels shown and both are male: [[ArchangelMichael Michael]] is an old man, and [[ArchangelGabriel Gabriel]] is a {{Bishonen}}. Actually there was a female angel shown in an ''omake'' chapter [[spoiler:and Satan becomes an angel again in the end]].

* Subverted in ''TabletopGame/{{Infernum}}'' where angels can be genderless or of either gender, while all demons except [[HornyDevils Malcubi]] are genderless. Also, there is no artwork of female angels in any of the rulebooks, and many female demons (some of which are FanDisservice -- such as one 'she-demon' that is basically a four-breasted wolf-woman with tentacles instead of legs). Inverted by Riethii and Purity, a fallen angel and a [[HornyDevils succubus]] who [[UnholyMatrimony fell in what passes for love in Hell]] before [[spoiler:Purity [[YouHaveFailedMe killed Riethii for screwing up]]]].

* In ''Comicbook/NewGods'' lore, the good New Gods use a piece of sapient technology called a "Mother Box" while the evil Apoktaliptians use a "Father Box."
* Franchise/MarvelUniverse:

* ''ComicBook/{{Preacher}}'': Inverted, as Genesis is the offspring of a male angel and a female demon.
* ''Comicbook/{{PS238}}'': {{Gender Flip}}ped, as [[RealityWarper Malphast]] (possibly meant to be a LighterAndSofter CaptainErsatz of Genesis, above) is the son of a male angel and a female demon. Though in this series, they're more aligned with OrderVersusChaos, respectively, and the two sides sometimes come across like [[FriendlyEnemy Friendly Enemies]].

* ''Fanfic/AngelOfTheBat'': Played with. Cassandra Cain's new costume is designed off the more gentle, modern design of angels. The Seraphim borrows from their more classical, monstrous appearances. For what its worth, Satan is often depicted as a Seraph.

* Subverted in ''Film/Bedazzled2000'' where Satan is played by Creator/ElizabethHurley. She plays chess with a man implied to be God. [[spoiler:The man appeared earlier as Elliot's cellmate]]. Extra nice because while Hurley acts as MsFanservice and plays up the sexy a lot, she's not really a {{Horny Devil|s}}, but just using another form of manipulation (and Fanservice). And at one point, she appears as a masculine devil, possibly implying that gender is not a big part of what God or the Devil are.
* In the MadeForTVMovie ''Child Of Darkness, Child Of Light'', the titular children turn out to be, respectively, a boy and a girl.
* In ''Film/{{Constantine}}'', the ArchangelGabriel is specifically portrayed as androgynous, but is played by Creator/TildaSwinton. Lucifer, on the other hand, is undoubtedly male. There are other angels in the film that are definitely male as well, such as that one paramedic and in a cut scene [[spoiler: Creator/ShiaLaBeouf's character]] became one post mortem.
* Averted in the Creator/RichardBurton ''Doctor Faustus'' where the Devil is played by Creator/ElizabethTaylor.
* Sort of subverted in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' in that the angels (and the demons) are all androgynes... but they're all played by men. (Serendipity, played by the very female Creator/SalmaHayek, is also sexless... but Hayek is neither an angel nor a demon but a Muse.) God appears as both a man and a woman, as well.

* Likewise, in ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', [[UltimateEvil Vaatu]] (the spirit of darkness) is male and Raava (the spirit of light) is female. Exceptionally bizarre because they draw on Yin-Yang symbolism, which assigns darkness to women and light to men. A {{downplayed|Trope}} example, as both Raava and Vaatu are completely inhuman in appearance and identical in every way but their color scheme and voice.
