- - Dark Angels - -
Angels and demons are a ubiquitous pair of entities for both Heaven and Hell respectively. Typically Angels are inclined towards light and demons are inclined towards darkness. This has no bearing on their alignment, just the nature of their being. Nothing is set in stone, however. A rare type of Angel occasionally appears, referred to as Dark Angels. These Angels are inclined towards darkness as opposed to light. These are not to be confused with Gray Angels, Angels whose affinity are both light and darkness. Typically these angels are more roguish and combative. Their abilities also focus more on darkness rather than light. Despite this, they often pop up in Heaven and are welcomed with open arms.
- - Valentina - -
Valentina was a dark angel who wanted to explore the Cosmos. She had always been the curious type, wanting to explore and experiment. Due to multiple incidents in the past, Heaven imposed rules stating Angels just can't go out and gallivant around all willy-nilly. If an Angel were to volunteer for certain tasks and jobs, this restriction is lifted. In Valentina's case, she joined the Warrior Angel Army. Despite what it seems, Heaven has to deal with threats that require armies on the regular. It ranges from outsider angels trying to overthrow Adonai to aberrations and interlopers causing trouble. Even the kingdom of Heaven needs defending from time to time.
When Valentina joined the Warrior Angel Army, she was given equipment for battle. Her Armor was forged from a black hole, providing immense protection from whatever dare strike her. In regards to weapons, she was given two. One is a ceremonial longsword that stands as a badge signifying her status. The other was Grand Quake, a monstrous lance only an Angel can wield. The mighty and terrible lance has the ability to destroy an entire planet in one thrust. With her new gear, Valentina was excited to explore the Cosmos and she did... what she did not expect was a conflict in Heaven right after she joined. It is widely believed that multiple conflicts after this prompted her to leave Heaven.
It should be noted that Valentina has not lost any of her honors, despite leaving Heaven and taking up residence in Hell. Adonai and the Archangels expected this to happen. She is still expected to take up arms if a conflict arises, little does Valentina realize...

Oh hey, I kept it brief this time. I thought this was going to be a pain, but then I got the rough color done. Do not judge a drawing before it is done. In regards to the armor... firstly, yes it was influenced by Berserk. Secondly, it's not armor as we know it. Yes, Valentina is definitely wearing "armor." This isn't armor however. It is what we perceive as armor. If you saw Valentina in her true form, your brain would explode. To put it bluntly, what you are seeing is the third dimensional manifestation of a sixth dimensional entity. This is what we see so our brains don't melt trying to comprehend higher dimensions. That's why the armor looks so bizarre.
Designing the armor was fun and drawing Val like this was also fun. Like I said with Heinrik Rofocale, this will take some practice to draw, but I don't think it will be that bad. The armor is actually fairly simple if you take a second to look at it. And yes, I did use Archlord Krystia from Yu-Gi-Oh! as a reference.
