Editing Engel (section)

==Personality==
Sveta described Engel as beautiful inside and out, and very opinionated.<ref>[[Black 13.8]]</ref> Egg described her more like a force of nature.<ref name="FoN"/>

Engel can come off as somewhat callous, tactless or self-indulgent,<ref>[[Black 13.10]]</ref><ref name="II19.a"/> those behaviors, likely, were not unlearned due to social effects of her power.<!--You don't need to check yourself as often, when most are pleased by your presence anyway.
Alternative versions:
* That's how light-blindness effect works, by numbing _every_ sense?
* PoV bias (not a thing per Egg's interlude, he has mixed feelings about her too, so definitely more Diva personality at play)

===Relationships===

====[[Sveta]]====
Engel and Sveta had a very strong relationship in the past. However, in the present day, Engel dislikes Sveta as a result of her past actions.<ref>“I loved you,” Engel said, behind Sveta.<br/><br/>Sveta straightened, turning around.<br/><br/>“I love all of my brothers and sisters, but I loved you in particular.”<br/><br/>Present tense, then past tense.<br/><br/>“I will always cherish my memories of the company you provided me in darker days.  You helped me find optimism and a brighter outlook in lonely days.  Without that girl from the hospital, I would not be out and about today, chasing my dreams.”<br/><br/>“We could still talk.”<br/><br/>“No.”<br/><br/>I saw the pain in Sveta’s face.  No response came to her lips.<br/><br/>“Why the hell not?  You’re being asinine about this whole thing,” I told Engel.<br/><br/>“I am grieving my friend Sveta,” Engel said.  “It is easier to move on without reminders.”<br/><br/>“I’m still here.”<br/><br/>“You are,” Engel said, and her voice was accented more as she said it, still warm and an eerie, discomfiting kaleidoscope of pleasant sensations.  “But she isn’t.  And I will forever miss her.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/07/black-13-10/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.10]]</ref>

====[[Egg]]====
Engel and Egg have a brother-sister sort of relationship.<ref>It was interesting, seeing the interplay between him, her, and Scraping.  He came off like the moody kid brother, her as the wiser, warmer older sister, and Scraping… was the referee?  He reined in, chided, warned, and otherwise stayed out of it. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/07/black-13-10/ Excerpt] from [[Black 13.10]]</ref> Egg, however, has mixed feelings about her - simultaneously being grateful for her soothing companionship and material help, while not considering her truly reliable.<ref name="FoN">“You have Engel, right?”<br/><br/>“She’s not someone you count on, unless you’re counting on her to be there.  You hitch yourself to her and she brings you along while going this way or that.”<br/>[...]<br/>It was sheer luck he’d found Engel, in those first few months when there weren’t really phones and internet.  He’d been so lonely in the aftermath that he would have latched onto anyone.  Weeks and months without talking to anyone.<br/>[...]<br/>Seeing Engel on the approach soothed, and unwound some of the more intense frustrations and darker thoughts.  She was, just by being near, a warm bath on a cold day, a delicious meal when he felt starved, a hug when he couldn’t remember ever having a good hug. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/01/01/interlude-19-a/ Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.a]]</ref>
