APPERANCE -Height:

Raphael is a very handsome Angel, he like many other angels have an angelic graceful build…. However due to the fact he is a Seraphim he gives off an eerie vibe, and many feel as if they are being watched while with him (Cause in a way he is watching them, not in a way they know since he is in his human form). Raphael has tan skin and his build is tall and lean, he is clean and elegant in a way. He has ash-blonde hair which looks grey, it is sort of in a messy neat style with the layers getting in his face, his bangs rest a bit past his eyebrows. He has narrow-ish blue eyes that have a turquoise gradient to them (Unlike the other angels who have a yellow, but this is important due to his high status).

(It is implied that his angelic form has wings, as it is mentioned in Lesson 44-7 that Mammon once tried selling some of Raphael's feathers.)

Angel Look

Rapheal is VERY different from Luke (Regular angel) and Simeon (Archangel). Raphael is a Seraphim Angel, which is a high-ranking Angel.

Rapheal has six white wings in total in his Angel form, they are white with a grey tint to them.

-Upper wings (one pair of wings): His upper wings which extend from his upper back/shoulder blades are his main wings, and they are his flight wings, the ones he uses primarily to fly. They are large, they are 9ft in length when extended.

-Middle Wings (One pair of wings): Medium sized wings positioned slightly below the upper pair on the back of his ribs. They are 6.6ft in length when extended

-Lower wings (One pair of wings): The smallest pair of wings, they are attached on the back of his waist. They are 4.3ft in length.

Raphael is not a usual Seraphim (Since Seraphim usually have two pairs of wings covering their face, two covering their feet, and two for flying. Since Rapheal has a human form, he was allowed to shift his form to better support him in his “human-like form.”

Raphael, like all Seraphim has over 1,000+ eyes all along his body and wings. However he keeps all of them except the “human ones” closed so people do not get freaked out. Like all Angels in their “human” forms, he can hide his angel appearance to anybody, but it is still being there (like invisibility), so if anyone feels like they are being watched. They are, by Rapheal since his eyes and wings are simply hidden, not gone, so they are being watched.

Raphael’s hair changes to white in his angel form and his eyes become slightly glowy.

Angel clothes Rapheal wears:

• A tight-fitting, sleeveless black crop top with gold borders and diamond accents. A dark cerulean blue garment underneath, also featuring gold borders. A sleeveless white jacket with gold trim and dark cerulean blue lining. Wrapped around the jacket's collar is a wide black trim layered under a gradient-colored celadon blue and golden yellow trim. His lower arms and back of the hands are covered by a skintight black fabric with detached white cuffs. He also has a hair accessory made of several connected gold diamonds and a black choker necklace with four celadon blue diamonds arranged to form a larger diamond shape

PERSONALITY

Raphael is an extremely quiet individual, and as Luke comments in Lesson 65-14 it can be difficult to understand what Raphael is thinking because he "doesn't talk much." He also prefers quiet places, as when MC played hide-and-seek for a task in Lesson 67-17, Lucifer suggests looking for him "somewhere quiet." Though Raphael has a cool, composed demeanor, he is often quick to threaten violence. In Lesson 67, when Beelzebub began chewing on Luke's clothes out of hunger, Raphael calmly offers to rain down spears upon Beelzebub. Raphael has also been described by the brothers as being extremely strict. When the brothers still lived in the Celestial Realm, they were often afraid of saying the wrong thing and being overheard by him. Raphael is a serious individual who seems to dislike playing games, having protested that he is "not a child" when he was tasked with playing hide-and-seek in Lesson 67 and declined the brothers' pleas to play with them back when they were angels. It is said that Raphael does not smile often, but has a rather charming smile on the rare occasion that he does. Lucifer mentions in Lesson 52-3 that Raphael has a snarky attitude and is prone to harsh insults, to the point that Lucifer found him very unpleasant to be around. Beelzebub corroborates this in a later lesson, describing how Raphael used to chastise him for his inability to control himself. Those close to Raphael are not spared from his harsh remarks; despite it being said that Raphael deeply respects Michael in his character introduction video, he is also quick to harshly insult him during his first appearance. When MC asks Raphael about his level of cooking in Lesson 71, Simeon described it as "something it's better not to know." More details were described in Lesson 71-16 Hard: while his cooking isn't terrible, and indeed could be considered average, when attempting more complicated recipes, Raphael is very prone to creating chaos in the kitchen. Raphael gets extremely sleepy when drunk, having passed out mid-sentence after several bottles of Demonus in Raphael's Welcome. Lucifer states that "while he can generally hold his liquor, too much of it puts him straight to sleep." Apparently, this does not happen often. Lucifer also states in the Devilgram Raphael's Welcome that Raphael has an eye for detail. He tends to ignore nonverbal cues, frequently saying that a character "didn't say anything" when one's mood is inferred by facial expression or context clues. This seeming inability to read the room also appears when it comes to Solomon's food in Happy Birthday! Dear Simeon '22, where he appears clueless about the other characters' nervousness over Solomon borrowing cooking utensils. Raphael can also be very oblivious to his surroundings in general, having not noticed when his hands caught on fire in Lesson 68-11 and not noticing Belphegor talking to him in Lesson 67-19.

PREFERENCES

-Likes: One of Raphael's hobbies is sewing. According to the Devilgram Raphael's Welcome, when the brothers lived in the Celestial Realm they would often tear their clothing when escaping Lucifer's punishments. Raphael would mend the rips, and eventually began to enjoy sewing. In Lesson 69-A, Raphael was quick to notice that MC's sleeve was damaged, and mended it for them with great skill. Raphael adores food with flavoring too strong for most people. This includes Solomon's cooking, as mentioned in his introduction video and demonstrated in Lesson 69-11. He appears oblivious to others' disdain for Solomon's food, as seen both in Lesson 69-11 and the event Happy Birthday! Dear Simeon '22. He also was seen to enjoy Death's Door hot sauce in the Devilgram Raphael's Welcome.

-Dislikes: Raphael dislikes foods that look off-putting or unappetizing. He expressed disgust and confusion in the Devilgram Raphael's Welcome at the unappetizing appearance of most Devildom foods. Raphael is not fond of Ferris wheels because the feeling of the ground moving is scary to him. (Source: Nightbringer Lesson 52-9)

STORY

Background: In Nightbringer Lesson 17-1, Luke states that Raphael is the youngest angel every to become a seraph. Back when the seven brothers were angels, he frequently had an antagonistic relationship with them. Any behaviors considered inappropriate, such as Asmodeus's partying, were punished harshly by Raphael. His usual weapon was a spear, and Leviathan, Mammon, and Asmodeus have all testified that Raphael used to punish them by raining spears down upon them when they were angels. In Lesson 67-9, Asmodeus mentions that they would often ask Raphael to play games with them, but Raphael would always refuse, saying "if you have time to play, then you have time to pray." However, there were also times when he and at least some of the brothers would get along. Asmodeus mentions in Lesson 67-16 Hard that he and Belphegor used to beg Raphael to sing for them, which he often agreed to do.

Main Story and Events

As an exchange student, Raphael lives with the other angels in Purgatory Hall in the former guest room, which had previously been used as storage by Leviathan. In Lesson 73-15, Raphael is put to sleep due to Crow's system and has a fun and pleasant dream. In Lesson 74-14, MC and Belphegor enter Raphael's dream in order to try and wake him up before Helldown Day. Raphael's dream is revealed to be a dream where he is in the Celestial Realm surrounded by all seven brothers as angels. Raphael refuses to wake up from the dream which shows that he misses the times when the brothers were still angels despite the antagonistic relationship he had with them. He only wakes up after MC summons Lucifer who tells Raphael that it's time for him to wake up from his dream.

Relationship(s)

Lucifer When Raphael first met Lucifer in the Devildom the two were quick to reacquaint, with Lucifer showing Raphael around the Devildom. Raphael is described in his character introduction video as respecting Lucifer. Belphegor Due to Raphael's stoic personality, when Belphegor was tasked with making Raphael smile in Lesson 67 his best efforts all failed. Instead, it was fond memories Raphael had of past days in the Celestial Realm when Belphegor often used to fall asleep during meetings that resulted in Raphael giving one of his rare smiles. Simeon Raphael seems to care deeply about Simeon and looks out for his safety. Before his proper introduction in the story, in Lesson 60-22 Raphael met up with Simeon in the Human World and referred to him as his brother. In Lesson 66-17, Raphael became enraged when a chimera attacked Simeon and swiftly sought vengeance. He also went out of his way to ask Lucifer how Simeon was doing in the Devildom, and was pleased to hear that Simeon had been doing well. Luke In Nightbringer Lesson 17-3, Luke says that Raphael often helped him study. Michael In Lesson 65-2, Raphael takes offense if MC incorrectly guesses that he is Michael, and refers to the other angel as a "socially inept weirdo." However, it is expressed in his character introduction video that he respects Michael and is the only one to truly understand him. Belphegor implies that Raphael is overworked by Michael, and is overburdened in trying to care for his needs.
