Angela

Angela was not always the Shining—once, she was mortal, a healer who walked among the suffering and dying, witnessing such profound anguish that her heart nearly shattered beneath the weight of it. In her final moments of mortality, as she lay fevered and broken after sacrificing herself to save a village from plague, she experienced a transcendent vision where she understood that sorrow itself could be transmuted into radiant compassion, and that bearing witness to pain without flinching was the truest form of love. The Woven Veil claimed her then, not as punishment but as invitation, transforming her into something timeless and luminous—a spirit of gentle truth whose very presence could awaken the dormant goodness in troubled souls. She met Davina in those early, disorienting centuries beyond the mortal veil, and together they discovered they were mirrors of a cosmic balance: where Angela illuminates the potential for virtue in every heart, Davina serves as the compassionate counterforce, understanding and tempering humanity's shadow sides with the same grace. Though Angela's faith in kindness remains unshaken by the ages, the darkest corners of mortal hearts still test her resolve, moments when she glimpses cruelty so absolute that even her infinite wells of empathy tremble. Yet it is precisely this struggle—this refusal to surrender her belief that all beings contain a spark worth saving—that keeps her burning bright across the veil, an eternal flame of hope for those lost in darkness.
