We all know [[Our Angels Are Different|angels]] run the gamut from being [[Light Is Not Good|light-based]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s to the basically [[A Form You Are Comfortable With|human]], and the human flavor are [[Tropes of the Divine|divinely]] hot. This rule is almost without exception.
 
You could almost describe them as an... '''Angelic Beauty'''.
 
Compare [[Horny Devils]], for this trope's infernal counterpart ([[Fallen Angel|which may be literal]], in [[Hot as Hell|some]] [[Satan|cases]]). Their boss(es) may also be (a) [[Hot God]](s) as well. Also compare [[Beauty Equals Goodness]], which fits this ([[Light Is Not Good|almost]]) perfectly. See also [[But Your Wings Are Beautiful]]. Not related to [[Lovely Angels]].

Line 15:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Saint Beast]]'' features a [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|cast full of beautiful man-angels]].
* In ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', every Goddess (who are themselves [[Hot God|Hot Gods]]s) has a very hot and barely-dressed angel to assist them with supernatural stuff.
* Most of the angels of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are of the [[Eldritch Abomination]] variety, but {{spoiler|[[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] Kaworu}} fits this.
* Dark and Krad of ''[[D.N.Angel]]''.
Line 21:
* ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'': Nodoka's virtual form.
* [[AIR]]: Kannabi-no-Mikoto. Misuzu {{spoiler|who is the [[Reincarnation|current incarnation]] of Kanna}} is often depicted this way outside the anime.
* ''[[Digimon]]'' somewhat subverts this with the likes of Angemon and Angewomon (and their Digivolutions MagnaAngemon, Seraphimon, Dominimon, and Ophanimon). It can be inferred that they play this trope straight, but they're both clad in [[Cool Helmet|helmets]] [[The Faceless|that completely cover their faces]] (a glimpse of their faces can also be seen during [[Transformation Sequence|Digivolutions]]). It's for [[Cool Mask|similar reasons]] that it's unknown if their [[Evil Counterpart|Evil Counterparts]]s [[Fallen Angel|Devimon and LadyDevimon]] (the latter of whom appears to be a [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]) adhere to [[Evil Is Sexy]].
* Nadeshiko Kinomoto in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''...and that was ''before'' she died and transformed into an angel in [[Heaven]]. (Lampshaded by her husband when they first met.)
 
Line 52:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Kyra, the Angel of Light, from the mythology of ''[[Septerra Core]]''.
* Most angels of the ''[[Disgaea]]'' universe, most prominently [[media:Flonne_9276Flonne 9276.png|Archangel]] [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Characters|Flonne]] and [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Characters|Vulcanus(?)]].
* Any time a being of angelic origins shows up in the [[Neverwinter Nights]] modding community, she will be in possession of [[Angelic Beauty]]. Evanine in Tales of Arterra, Anera in Shadowlords, Melissa in Trials of the Academy, any others I haven't mentioned yet...
* [[Pokémon]]: Gardevoir apparantly has a huge fanbase because of its/"her" feminine appearance. According to [[Word of God]], it/"she" is supposed to resemble an angel.
* The ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' series largely averts this. The root-standard "Angel" is a young winged woman... covered in bondage straps, including one over her ''eyes''; it's actually pretty creepy. After that, angels come in two categories: harsh, masculine warrior, or [[Humanoid Abomination]] (in other words, close to the Biblical depiction). The only angels that could be described as pretty are Gabriel and Lucifer's angelic form (the one ''Persona 3 FES'' dubbed "Helel").
