FACECLAIM:: IU
NATIONALITY:: Korean
HEIGHT:: 5 feet 7 inches
HAIR:: Long black hair that reaches perhaps midway down her back; Her hair often changes from pure black to having an auburn tint, and from having bangs and no bangs; It appears either wavy or pin straight
EYES:: A dark brown that appears as black
SKIN:: Pale in comparison to her dark hair; Is most literally "perfect" skin
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:: Not applicable
APPEARANCE:: Jophiel's appearance can be described as nothing other than "heavenly" (okay, I'm done with the angel jokes, I swear). Jophiel is long and slender at 5'7" and just a little over one hundred pounds. Although she may be fragile-looking, she is hardly a weakling. She usually wears calm colors such as white, pink, and shades of anything else that aren't too bright or crazy. However, she isn't afraid to put together outfits that no one else would try, even if it'll make her stand out like crazy.
Jophiel is the described as the "Divine Beauty". Despite all the Archangels having celestial beauty, Jophiel perhaps is even more so. She has the physical characteristics of a young Korean woman. Her specific characteristics include beautiful, delicate features on her face, including a sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and full lips. A key attribute of hers is that she is almost always smiling. Whether it be a polite, closed-lip smile, or a big toothy grin, she never really looks anything but happy or content (with a few exceptions).
PERSONALITY:: Jophiel, as the Archangel of Temperance and Kindness, and Knight of Honesty, embodies all of these traits, and more.
She is the purest and most truthful form of temperance, kindness, and honesty, having "reign" over these things. Temperance-the ability to restrain. What does that mean exactly? Jo is not the kind of person to jump on you if you say something mean about her. In fact, her ability to not jump on you might actually be one of her greatest weapons, because temperance can often makes others even angrier and (well I'm getting off track here). That doesn't mean her ability to become angry isn't there. Most of the time when she's mad, she will do an amazing job of hiding it, but there are even moments where she has trouble with temperance.
Kindness. This one is kind of self explanatory. She's an extremely friendly person who always has a nice word to say about everyone. Despite this kindness, she is still fair and will revoke this kindness if you do something unsatisfactorily. For example, eating an apple from the Tree of Life when specifically told not do. Then Jophiel had to be the bad guy and ban them from the Garden, and spend years guarding it (not the most exciting years of her lengthy life). She is not one to act kind if she has deemed you not worthy of receiving kindness, and is not one to "pretend". And that's where her honesty kicks in.
She's not only honest to others, and promotes honesty, but she is also honest to herself. True to herself, she acts in accordance to who she is and what she believes. Jo can be kind of intimidating in that matter, because she so strongly believes certain things and can be very opinionated. Although often quiet, if you get her started she can and will be loud.
One major thing that she's missing is a sense of humor. Really. At one time she didn't even understand jokes. Now that she does, she finds most of them stupid or offensive, and will not react to them. She's been trying to change this, but she's stuck in her old ways on this. However, this does not impede her ability to be sarcastically nice to Fyrelia, or about Fyrelia. She's always the exception, isn't she?

DISLIKES::
STRENGTHS::
WEAKNESSES::[/b]:: Jophiel, as much as she loves being an archangel and having immense power to do good in the human world, sometimes wishes that she was one of those humans she so desperately watched over. She is tired of life and would love to be mortal, and experience what a mortal does in every sense. What she is most curious about is romantic love.

EXTENDED FAMILY:: All angels
MARITAL STATUS:: Single
HISTORY:: Being an angel is weird. Like really weird. Jophiel just kind of...came into existence. She couldn't remember when or how, but one minute she wasn't there, and the next, she was an eternally young divine being. And she was born with certain missions-missions to help creatures who hadn't even been created yet. God had tasked her with giving these special, yet mortal beings beauty and inspiration in their lives, while also teaching honesty, kindness, and temperance. An awful lot to task on a person who was just put into being, in my opinion. But she was gifted with these attributes and continued to study then diligently.
So she lived her years, trying to become the best she could be (lame sounding, my apologies). In this time she made a close friend, a fellow angel named Fyrelia. However, it didn't take too long to release that these two were going down different paths. Jophiel, like any good angel, listened to God and obeyed him without question, whereas Fyrelia took the opposite path. Fyrelia succumbed to her sins and found herself a path to becoming a demon, something that Jophiel most certainly could not approve or associate with. So they broke off, not just as friends, but even comrades.
What are some angel-like things she did in her thousands of years? Well, she fought alongside Michael and others, despite most people not believing that she has a violent side. Jo commanded 53 legions of angels for battle. She also drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden for eating from the Tree of Life. Sorry humanity.
After all of this excitement, Jo lived her years as angel as Metatron's right hand man, and helping humans from a distance. She was created to help them, and she was fascinated by them and their mundane lives, but also feared trying to live among them. They were just so different. Even after years of observing them, she feared that she would pop out her wings by accident, or start speaking twenty different languages fluently and perfectly, or move something with her telekinesis. Yet, after years of debating, she finally decided to take a big step and fly down to Earth (literally).
Settling into life on Earth was easier than she believed. Jophiel got an apartment -mostly for show, since she doesn't really need to sleep, eat (eating is pretty great, though), or have the urge to watch television or go on the Internet. She got a job that she thought she was most qualified for and could help many people from it. A high school counselor, teaching kids to always do what their heart says and convincing them not to end their special, mortal lives. Living life as a mortal has made her the happiest she's been in a long time. She currently resides in New York City.
OOC NAME:: Kathleen
ROLEPLAYING EXPERIENCE:: 6 years
ANY NOTES:: Howdy
ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:: Not many knew what it was like to live continuous days the same day, with no interruptions. There was no sleeping, there was no eating, there was nothing ever changing in Heaven. That could be reassuring and comfortable sometimes, knowing exactly what was happening, but much of the time it became…tedious. Jophiel found herself longing for something more many days, wanting to escape this boring comfort and experience something new. It had been years, like, a huge number of years since any of them heard from God Himself. It became a waiting game, hearing from Him, and a waiting game is what many of the Archangels were best at (with the exception of one she could think of, but Jo didn’t like to think of Fy if she didn’t have to).
As any other day, she sat straight and silent in her seat beside Metatron. Jo thought of the humans and their bustling, daily-changing lives and wished for something more. Something more than being an old rusty Archangel, unable to change her daily routine or even physical appearance (naturally, of course. She could change into a 70 year old one legged man if she wanted to). She sighed, ever so softly, and then something snapped inside of her. Why couldn’t Jo go to Earth with the humans? She had been training for it for centuries upon centuries, and yet had only visited Earth once, in the company of a fellow Archangel. Her nervousness had left her in Heaven for so long, but now it was time for her to go.
Jophiel stood suddenly from her seat. So suddenly, in fact, that she startled Metatron who must have been deep in thought, or more likely staring into space. “I’m going to travel to Earth.” The words just coming off of her tongue excited her. Metatron looked surprised, if not a bit dubious. “Why now?” Why now? Because now was the perfect time. Humankind needed her the most now. After years of war and increasing violence, the human race needed someone to show them the beauty of life, and the ignored values of temperance and kindness they have been lacking. “Why not now?” We can’t just wait around every day waiting for God. That small thought in her head made her cringe and she apologized deeply to her Master in her mind.
Her wings shot out of her back like they were just relieved of some kind of pressure and she flapped them a few times. It had been ages since she had shown them, let alone used them. Joph preferred to walk around as oppose to fly around, for whatever reason. It felt as if they were broken and she just took off their casts. She flew up into the air, feeling more free than she had in awhile. She gave Metatron a big smile and a wave, before flying off to start her new life.
