Clearing up some misconceptions

[cattygabriel]

... I can deal with the portrayal of myself as blonde and carrying what appears to be a duckling. I can even overlook the star tiara. However, there is a common misconception about me that I would like to clear up.

I am not "the only female archangel". There are quite a few angels who have chosen to assume female form, and I am not one of them. I'm genderless, and usually appear to be male; while I have the ability to assume a female form, I have done so about twice or thrice, for very brief occasions, during my millennia on Earth. However, for all intents and purposes, I am currently male.


ooc: The picture was found by divine_tempest , and I couldn't resist adding the name.

…hmm.

It would sort of explain the appearance of angels in some fairy tales, but I'm not coming up with specific examples right now (and it's more… angels appearing as the devices rather than other creatures and it's been peeving me lately). They haven't seemed all that interchangeable to me otherwise, for the most part. Traditions, the functions- angels don't ride and steal kiddies. Further explanation of mix ups, if possible, please?

Societal norms, gaaah.

It's not that comfortable to write, but it's not like zhir name all over would be any better :| :|
