Bernadette

**Bernadette** is the second of God's Archangels, and is a character in the I'm the Grim Reaper webtoon series. She was formally introduced as the Second Archangel of Heaven in Episode 56.

Due to her actions, she can be considered the main antagonist during the Archangel & Reaper Confrontation

## Appearance

Bernadette has very long white blonde hair, reaching past her knees. On the underside, her hair is colored dirty magenta. She has thick bangs and light purple eyes. Her color scheme is mainly white and purple, though black and gold are also incorporated into her outfit. She wears a short black and white pleated dress with a golden cross centered on her chest, and six gold buttons. Bernadette also has a white and gold shoulder covering, golden block high heels, and black and white stockings.

On her head, she sports two silver crosses and a black headband. She additionally wears rouge eyeshadow, as seen in some scenes. Her angel wings are white, and she always seems to have an aura of rainbow light when they appear.

As a human, Bernadette wore the standard sister/nun dress, although her hair was not exposed and was covered.

## Personality

Out of the three Archangels, she is shown to be the most considerate of the conditions of heaven and the people of the human realm, as she takes action in Scarlet's killing of non-sinners. She is not afraid to fight people who are morally wrong, believing that it is what her job is as an archangel to do such.

Even as an archangel, Bernadette does not back down in defying God's orders, or the people above her. This is strengthened by the fact that Celeste, who chose to not do anything despite seeing the cause of God's absense, has done nothing but believe God as infalliable, and believe their word enrages Bernadette.
