Line 33:
== Literature ==
* Lani, from ''What Happened to Lani Garver'' is a [[Magical Queer]] come to help the protagonist sort out her life, and who may or may not actually be an angel.
* The wizards in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fit this trope. They appear to be Men, but have magical powers and are very, very old and mysterious. Pippin at one point wonders just what Gandalf is, but gets distracted. Digging through the appendices and the Silmarillion, the dedicated reader can find that the five "Wizards" (the ''Istari'') are a group of Maiar sent to help the peoples of Middle-earth - essentially angels of the same order as Sauron. Two are never named: the other three are Gandalf, Radagast, and Saruman.
** And of course, Tolkien directly compared them to angels in his letters.
** The unnamed ones are named in ''[[Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', a literal angel in human form ({{spoiler|specifically, the Archangel Uriel}}) makes a brief appearance.
** And that literal angel's own words imply that Mouse is also this trope, albeit in dogasaurus-form rather than human.
