Basic Trope: A vaguely or ambiguously supernatural being.
- Straight: Bob meets a girl named Angie. She is outstandingly beautiful, and gifted with the ability to heal people, tell the future, etc.
- Exaggerated:
- Angie clearly doesn't even look human, but other characters treat her as an ordinary (albeit extremely gifted) human.
- Not even Angie knows she's an angel as she has amnesia.
- Downplayed: Angie is a generally good-hearted, beautiful woman, but nobody is especially wowed by this.
- Justified: Angie needs to fit in with humans in order to do whatever works God has appointed to her.
- Inverted: Bob meets Louis Cypher.
- Subverted:
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl
- Angie looks like an ordinary human girl; heck, she might even be considered Hollywood Homely In-Universe.
- Angie is more of a Tsundere, or she's a very sexual being.
- Angie is a robot or cyborg, or a holographic AI similar to Cortana
- Angie is an alien.
- Double Subverted:
- But she is extraordinarily gifted with healing, seeing the future, etc.
- Good is Not Nice
- Bob accidentally sees her naked or topless, and she has wings.
- Parodied:
- Angie is just a girl in Witness Protection.
- A Holy Halo falls out of Angie's pocket or purse.
- Angie is a Parody Sue.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Angie is just a regular girl.
- Enforced: Going Cosmic
- Lampshaded: "Why do you always talk like you’re an angel in human form who’s trying not to make it obvious?"
- Invoked: God has some task that needs to be done on Earth, and needs someone who can fit in to accomplish it.
- Exploited: Angie leads Bob right into the action.
- Defied:
- God actually goes to Earth Himself (or Herself), rather than sending an angel to do it.
- The angel decides to not get involved in the affairs of humans.
- Discussed: "Angie is practically an angel. Actually, I don’t know how she got here, and she seems to always have some sort of wise guidance. Oh my gosh, what if she is an angel?"
- Conversed: "Oh, it’s that one type of character who’s vaguely implied to be an angel but never confirmed."
