Me 2 months ago: And BRO THE ANGEL DESIGNS they’re like actual biblical eldritch horror angels, not pretty ladies with harps
Me now: Huh. Guess they are pretty ladies.
Well, they only look like actual biblical horrors when in the void, as their true self outside of the containment of their armor; in the overworld, like currently, they look very humanoid. Although Juggernaut has now been revealed to be an exception just like White Chain, they are, including Delicious, the only three angels to be shown with a humanoid true form.
It really depends on the angel. Some prefer to spend their time in the void, and they are the ones who take on the most inhuman forms. For those who walk upon the Wheel with the other races, a more human shape may result. I must admit, though, I did not expect 6 Juggernaut to be one of those, given the apparent hatred for all that is not the Cold White Flame.

I think Michael had a halo in his true form, and the woman in the barrel had a halo as well I think. Perhaps the halos don’t symbolize Royalty as much as they are a marker of extreme power. Juggy is probably among the strongest Angels, as is Michael, Jagganoth’s halo is bigger than anybody, and Vigilant Gaze’s head is a halo.
Juggernaut has had a halo since chapter one. And yes, aeons are typically not able to attain this. Clearly Juggernaut is special – or perhaps it’s a gift from Metatron?
Practice what you preach. Practice long and hard. Practice until it is second nature, until your words and your actions are so perfectly alligned none could conceive of their division. It takes an expert to be a true hypocrite.

It’s hard to tell what with the spikes and the flames and the… clearly defined bone structure, but Jugs looks like it might have something in common with white chain.
I don’t know that I believe that Maya is actually giving in here.
I have a theory that angels that take on human form always take on a female form. Not so much in that they’re taking on human form, but in that they’re taking on more of the ideals of YIS, the goddess of substance. It’s a sign that they’re less concerned with the abstract word of the law and their absent God, and more with human mushywords such as ethics, good&evil and morality.
Obsessive perfumers have attempted time and again to distil or preserve this in their craft, though those who possess power tend to look unfavourably on such attempts.

Juggernaut appears to be both, thus catering to all tastes.

Juggy is still the wheel. You’re confusing the projector for the film.
WHAT.
Tired? Angels don’t get tired!

Ok, yeah…That was not a thing I saw coming either.
Quoth my master of rhetoric and ghost construction: “Bu-whaaaaa?”
A thorn is gaining humanity? Wat a tweest
Humanity rising. Wat a tweest
Those who seek immortality never consider just how long a span eternity is.
A… A halo?
Hold on, I thought that Aeons can’t reach Royalty, right? How is it that Juggernaut Star has a halo?
Or am I mistaken and just made myself look like a fool?
Halos have been seen on Aeons before. Return to the first offerings of Wielder of Names, and observe the Aeons in the void.
Now, the far more pressing question, is if the mark in Juggernaut Star’s brow is a deviation in their Flame, or if it is where a Key once sat.

IIRC his(?!!!) halo was a gift from one of the armor forging societies or a martial order or something like that.
Since book one, rather.
MORE LIKE JUGGERHOT AM I RIGHT?

Someone else hot? Oh boy!
All angels are beautiful inside.

How many of these angels suffer from gender confusion, jeez

Interesting. And likely.
That was my suspicion too. That the angels these changes are happening to are taking on more of the “opposite” aspect than they historically have.
Much like how Cio, a devil, seems to want to renounce depravity. (Ashamed of what she did.)
That, and I’ve heard it said that Metia, the first human, was a woman.
He will be her Bane.
He’s a Big Guy.
YOU ARE A WHAT
Feh, look at that. So remarkably *human.*
….You’re also kinda hot…..Why? :/
Power is a wonderful aphrodisiac.

I feel as if Maya is lying to protect those children. Or, at least, lying in the hopes of giving them a painless death.
Notice the hand?

Humanity is a insidious Poison, it targets the mind, the soul, the essence….
If I destroyed your body would you die?
It woulde be EXTREMELY PAINFUL!
Unless you are a time traveler, no.
