The so-called `throw your head around when crying` syndrome as seen in Tenshi ni Narumon Noelle, Silky and Mikael look especially alike, which shouldn`t come as a surprise since I believe they supposed to mirror each other in this moment of vulnerability.

Holy mewoly cat-man! I’ve been productive in between marketing, networking, obeying fuzzy overlord demands for cuddles. We now have 3/9 cats up and ready for purchase as stickers, adding our very own Peaches to the mix. Athena’s nudging my hand making a demand for pets as I make this post now. I hope to get you guys the other 6 relatively soon. I’ll post updates as they come. I am but a one man army. So your patience and support is greatly appreciated. This makes my 3rd post today, what the heck?

I would like to elaborate a bit more on how Mikael and Silky mirror each other.

The original Angel Egg fell to the Monster World and got split into three parts, and one of them became Silky. Unlike Noelle, who was lucky to be picked up by a Frankenstein-looking guy who then proceeded to create an entire family for her, Silky grew up completely alone. She wandered around the Monster World and from what we can assume, at some point found some abandoned dolls and then hid in some cave in which she presumably spent her whole life. Due to this peculiar circumstances Silky grew up basically not knowing what love is, which understandably, made her very bitter. At the same time, it is implied that she was the one that tried to contact Noelle while they were both living in the Monster World, but Noelle, being not the sharpest tool in the box, failed to notice that, which made Silky even more resentful because now she felt that the only other being similar to her has rejected her. That would explain her love-hate relationship with Noelle as well.

But her unique circumstances had an interesting side effect - out of the three angel souls, Silky was the one who was truly independent and self-sufficient - qualities that are surely necessary to become an angel. The thing is, Silky does not want to acknowledge the fact that she is free to live her life in whatever way she chooses to. In the final episodes it is obvious that Silky could leave her little personal hell whenever she wanted - she just didn’t have any good reason or motivation too (I also think she did it out of spite and to attract Noelle’s attention). She got fixated on pretending that she does have a wonderful life - a castle in which she resides with her dolls as her servants, waiting for her prince to come and take up the place beside her on the throne that she prepared for him. It seemed as if she wanted to convince herself that even if she didn’t have any of the things that Noelle had (a loving family, a boyfriend, etc) she could have something even better. But if that was the case, if she was truly happy, would she need to pester Noelle like that? On some level Silky knew she was not happy, but her rage at Noelle and angels and her overall feeling of being all alone in the world made her unable to let go and live her own life.

So in short, Silky desires love (which she doesn’t know, because she has only dolls that she can only force to love her), is full of rage (which at the end she clings to the most), but what I believe is her biggest strength are the qualities of self-reliance and independence, which she unfortunately completely overlooks and dismisses as unimportant. But it’s when she makes that first step outside her cave that she finally opens herself to new possibilities and what’s even more important, to human connections, which is what she deep down likely desired the most.

Now moving on to Mikael, he sort of starts from a different side of the spectrum, but eventually ends up in a similar place that Silky is (just, for different reasons). It is kinda harder to talk about Mikael, because there is almost no information about his upbringing, but what we do know is that Mikael was brought up by angels and was told to protect Noelle since he was a child (and he believes that is all he has). It is hard to imagine that living in Heaven could be less than perfect, but the impression one gets from the way Mikael (and Raphael) act and talk about it, Heaven seems to be a matter-of-fact and a pretty... bureaucratic type of a place (we know there is an Angel School and that’s it). And even though Mikael was brought up there, according to the director Mikael doesn’t really have a family (it is emphasized that Mikael and Silky are similar in this regard). There is also the fact, that angels cannot be seen or touched by humans (and presumably by other angels), and especially from the way Raphael acts one can easily tell that if he could we would gladly go back to being a human again and live in Human World. Mikael is presumably the only one who, while being only a quarter of an angel soul, can see and touch angels (or just Raphael), which is further complicated by the fact that he can do that even without his halo (even Noelle couldn’t touch Raphael while she still had her halo). And if we follow what the show says about the requirements of becoming an angel (ex. having no desires or deep attachments), it becomes much clearer to point to where Mikael’s problem lies. Mikael has an unhealthy amount of obsession with - he idolizes them to the point of ignoring his true nature, identifies with them and wants their approval. Raphael calls him “a needy baby” and in the penultimate episode even sings about how Mikael idolizes and is in love with Angels. There are at least two instances in the show when other characters comment on Mikael’s weird fixation on angels by calling him “a fan of Angels” or “Angel freak”. But Mikael’s one-sided infatuation doesn’t seem to be reciprocated (at least, not until Raphael comes into the picture and even then, for the majority of the episodes Raphael’s advances come off more as an innocent teasing or a specific type of “mentoring”), and that shouldn’t really come as a surprise - after all angels are usually believed to be pure, perfect beings that do not have any desires. But Mikael has strong desires than he cannot suppress, and yet, those strong desires are exactly what hinders him from becoming an angel. And so, in the direct parallel to Silky, Mikael’s love for angels is his biggest strength, but in Heaven it doesn’t seem to have any real value, thus Mikael chooses to repress it and in order to become an angel tries to act as aloof, distant and self-reliant. Mikael wants to become a perfect angel (since in his mind, this is the only way to go back to Heaven and be with angels - notice the irony of him not wanting to be an angel to help humans even though that is another requirement of becoming an angel) and clings to Noelle (as he presumably sees her as the only way to become a full angel), but, as seen in episode 25, the biggest irony is that after spending two episodes prattling constantly on about how Noelle has to become an angel, how he, Noelle and Silky need to merge in order to become a full angel, how it is their destiny etc, when it came down to it Mikael seemed ecstatically content with having angelic wings stuck to his body, which he obtained by „simply” begging a Comet and didn’t seem to notice that it was his strong desire that made it possible (neither that nor the fact that his desired wings seemed to cause Noelle and Silky pain). So just as Silky needed to acknowledge her self-sufficiency and let go of her anger and resentment to able to get what she truly wanted, Mikael had to acknowledge that he does have desires and let go of the preconception that only by becoming a perfect angel he can get what he wants - because it turned out that when it comes to

strong desires even Heaven had to make some exceptions.

I redrew my favorite scenes from Tenshi ni Narumon episode 15

私はこの絵が前から気になっていた。なぜよりによってラファエル様に対して常に冷たい態度ばっかりをとるミカエルの方がラファエルにすがりついているの？ってずっと不思議に思っていた。だって作品の中ではどちらかというとラファエル様の方がミカエルが好きという印象を受けてしまった人が多いではないかと。でも、天なるを見れば見る程この絵は面の事情ではなく裏に潜んでいる「真実」を語っていると言えざるをえない。ミカエルは、ある意味で天なるで一番愛に突き動かされてその愛を自覚すらできていない矛盾しているキャラクターだ。彼の天使(ラファエル様を含めて)への愛やら執着やらの強さの故に、ラファエル様とミカエルが触れることができるし、二人の関係も成り立っている。闇落ちするまで愛するものを諦められない彼にやるせなさを感じるし、一番人間臭いなと思っているんだ。

Change comes from bottom up Muse - confronting Silky Silky - confronting Mikael and Noelle Mikael - confronting Raphael

So I was thinking. If Mikael was a Disney character he would probably be that character who made you think he's a prince, at some point became a villain, but turned out to be a princess all along.
